Hello Trainers!

July was jammed packed with Go Fest and new Pokémon to catch! I wanted to slow it down just a bit and bring you up to date with the events happening in Bristol for Pokémon Go in August.

Pokémon GO’s Community Day August 2024 features Popplio, the Sea Lion Pokémon! Players have the chance to encounter Shiny Popplio in the wild. Popplio Community Day takes place on Saturday, Aug. 31, from 2 to 5 p.m. It can be caught as a shiny version, and it’s a great way to level up and update your Pokedex.

Just a reminder for the raids, here are Pokémon and the times for each listed below, along with their locations:

Times

  • Tornadus (Incarnate) – Started July 23 to Aug. 3.
  • Moltres – Aug. 3 to Aug. 12.
  • Thundurus- Aug. 12 to Aug. 21.
  • Xerneas – Aug. 21 to Sept. 3.
  • Mega Aggron- Started July 23 to Aug. 3.
  • Mega Aerodactyl- Aug. 3 to Aug. 12.
  • Mega Kangaskhan – Aug. 12 to Aug. 21.
  • Mega Salamence- Aug. 21 to Sept. 3.

Locations

  • Federal Hill Green, 33 Queen St.
  • Page Park, 651 King St.
  • Rockwell Park, 238 Jacobs St.

Finally, I have two big Elite Raid Boss updates! For those that had issues with this one the last time, Mega Rayquaza, a special global makeup event will be held for all Trainers on Saturday, Aug. 3, at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Defeat Mega Rayquaza in an Elite Raid, and you’ll earn an opportunity to catch Rayquazatwo

This Saturday, the highly anticipated Mega Lucario is finally making its debut in Pokémon GO in its Ultra Unlock: Raid Day on July 27, and can be tackled with two to four high level trainers. To get Mega Lucario, you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Lucario again in the future.

Mega Energy can be obtained in these Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Lucario, you can earn five Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Riolu or Lucario to earn Mega Energy if you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.

Be sure to gear up for next week as we ready ourselves for August! For more information, visit www.pokemongolive.com. Until next time Trainers!

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

  • Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
