This week,

It’s our festive special on Incensed!, A Pokémon GO podcast, as Ian Waterfall, PoGoMiloUK, and Masterful 27 gather for a Christmas-themed celebration packed with banter, reflection, and shiny sparkle.

We kick things off with a festive welcome and plenty of holiday chatter, setting the tone before diving into a bumper Getting To Know You – Ask Us Anything. Questions sent in by our Patreons via Discord lead us into a thoughtful look back at Pokémon GO in 2025, highlighting the features, events, and decisions we’ve loved… and those we’d rather forget.

Next, it’s time for a true Incensed tradition: the Festive Pub Quiz – 12 Questions of Xmas. Expect trivia, Christmas chaos, and competitive energy as the hosts battle it out for festive bragging rights.

In The News, we break down the Pokémon GO New Year’s 2026 Event, covering dates and times, event bonuses, holiday decorations, wild encounters, raids, Field and Daily Research, Lucky Exchanges, paid Timed Research, and the exclusive New Year avatar item.

We close the episode with a heartfelt wrap-up of 2025, reflecting on the Incensed! Podcast journey this year. From favourite moments and standout episodes to milestones we’re proud of, it’s a look back at what made 2025 special for the show.

Finally, we add some sparkle with Xmas Shinies of the Week, as each host picks two festive favourites.

Happy holidays, Trainers — and thank you for an amazing year with Incensed! 🎁✨

This week,

We open with a long-overdue Level 80 progress check-in, breaking down how our grind is going, what’s changed since the last update, and whether the road to Level 80 still feels achievable (or mildly terrifying).

Next up is News Part 1, featuring a full breakdown of the brand-new Forever Friend system. We explain how it works, how many points you’ll need, what rewards and unlocks are on offer, and whether this new progression layer is worth the effort for a remote trade? That leads straight into huge Pokémon GO Fest 2026 news, with live locations officially announced for Tokyo, Chicago, and Copenhagen. Naturally, we debate whether any of these cities are making our travel plans.

The fun ramps up with the Flex Game, where Gold Tier Patreon supporters choose the categories — expect big flexes & bold claims.

We then reflect on the December Community Day Weekend, sharing our best catches, how much we actually played, and what Community Days in 2025 got right (and wrong).

In News Part 2, we cover the upcoming Grookey Community Day and dive into Winter Holiday Part 1 & 2, looking at bonuses, spawns, and seasonal vibes. We round things off with a listener WhatsApp message and, of course, Shinies of the Week.

We’d like to say a massive thank you to all of our Patrons for your support, with credited Patrons from featured tiers below:
