This week,
We kick things off with a full Munchlax Hatch Day review — did this sleepy snack-loving baby Pokémon deliver the shiny rates we hoped for, or leave trainers hungry for more?
In The News, we quickly look at the upcoming Dark Skies event and dive into all the details ahead of the Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Max Finale. What can trainers expect from this massive global celebration, and which features are worth grinding for?
Game time returns with Chasing The Tail, hosted by Ian, as the boys try to outwit each other with Pokédex knowledge. Then we unpack the Origin Raid Day review, including a serious chat around shiny rate issues that had the community buzzing.
For Ask The Intern, we look through Niantic’s latest social media responses to the Origin Raid Day issues, with plenty of laughs (and frustrations) as we read through trainer feedback and reactions.
Finally, it’s time for your glittering catches in #ShiniesOfTheWeek, as we highlight some of the best finds from our amazing community.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
