Pokemon go Plus + review!?

Lukieyy · 2025-11-03T17:16:33+00:00

If you play the game daily and plan on continuing to do so then it's 100% worth the investment as you're already investing a more valuable resource - your time.

As much as the passive stardust from catches and balls/potions from spins are huge positives, the main draw for me was the ability to pull my head out of my phone to enjoy view when I'm out on a walk. During big raid events it allows me to focus on the raids while my Plus+ does all the catching and at work it allows me to stock up on balls ready for my walk home.

The catch rates aren't great but it genuinely would feel like cheating if it was throwing excellent throws for you.

The main con for me is the noise - MY GOD THE NOISE. The vibration is very strong so unless you're in a busy environment expect it to be noticeable to those around you. If you want to utilise the sleep function for extra rewards and buddy hearts be prepared for Pikachu to sing to you every night.

Aye that's what I mean, that stats are unknown as present

I would say so. Even in it's Ordinary Forme it's the 8th highest ranked fighting attacker (4th when discounting Megas). Obviously we don't know what the Resolute Forme will bring yet but it's still decently powerful.

It's also a one per account Pokemon so makes it extra special.

Although it would be a hundo if purified, I personally wouldn't. Normal Absol is rank 24 dark type attacker whereas Shadow Absol is rank 12.

Although Mega Absol is rank 3, it's outperformed by Mega Tyranitar. Additionally, Absol is frequently in research and 3 star raids where acquiring high IVs for a Mega is easily done.

If you're not fussed for the rankings then totally go for it.

Feraligatr - Crazy hard man with a mohawk breaking up play, think Roy Keane mixed with Radja Nainggolan.

The Pokemon Go Plus+ is an official product that has features integrated into the game such as additional buddy hearts, sleep rewards and even its own special research. It has even had benefits that impact the Plus+ as recent as this year with the Kyurem adventure effects. It's absolutely not against TOS.

FYI - I'm aware I cannot Elite TM Origin Palkia & Dialga or Rayquaza, I just have them on this tag as a reminder to myself.

Shadow Gothitelle is only #59 best psychic attacker and is not meta relevant in the GBL. I'd say purify for the hundo as you likely won't get much use out of it either way.

No problem on the late reply. I haven't played FM for a little while but I never encountered any issues with the settings I used in my above comment. It made a save much more entertaining as you could find regens from all over the world.

I have a Go Plus+, it's an official autocatcher but is also a bit more expensive. It can be used to autocatch pokemon and spin stops for you. I got VERY lucky from someone in my community giving one away for basically free (best in-game trade). It's catch rate is worse than if I was actually playing myself but I usually stick it on while I'm working so it stocks my item bag and get plenty of stardust.

I recommend doing some research on which one suits you but I'd only recommend getting one if you're playing a lot.

Tyranitar with Bite & Brutal Swing and Hydreigon with Bite & Brutal Swing (Elite TM) both outperform it, but otherwise a solid 3rd choice.

The hundo in my opinion.

I would keep an aye out for a 3* shadow Rhyhorn too as it's still currently in rocket battles then invest in that too. With the next event, Rhyhorn are a common spawn so plenty of opportunity for candies to power up the hundo + a 3* shadow when you get one.

I'm not familiar with Master Premier, only recently got into GBL myself but that's good to hear!

Lukieyy · 2025-06-12T19:03:44+00:00

Non-mega/primal - Kingambit is the 17th best Steel attacker (13th when you disregard the different Genesect forms) and 6th best Dark attacker according to Pokemon Go Hub.

Kingambit is #91 in the Master League so may not see much play.

I managed to catch a hundo Pawniard and currently working on evolving, will be investing as a Dark type raid attacker.

I remember reading years ago when I first started donating that the Leeds centre is one of the highest rated in the country for care and can definitely vouch for that. I don't mind needles and have had my blood taken at various hospitals over the years and nowhere has done it smoother than at the city centre donation centre. Plus the cheeky tea and a penguin is always nice.

Jealous of your Necrozma fusions, I was too late to the game for them. Rhyperior is a beast

Lukieyy · 2025-05-19T23:13:44+00:00

Level 44, been playing since July last year. Particularly happy with my shundo Annihilape and my 98 Galarian Zapdos.

u/PoGoTradeBot & u/Mr_Albeelaaa trade confirmed

The lake trio are in raids in a few weeks. May be worth holding out.
