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.

This week,

We kick things off with Mark’s electrifying warning: “DANGER DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE!” as the trio deliver their full High Voltage event review. From spawns and bonuses to frustrations, surprises, and standout catches, nothing escapes their inspection — followed by a quick but spark-filled? chat about Dynamax Eevee.

Next up, the boys revive a classic favourite: What The Ducklett (OG Edition) — where they attempt to guess the Pokémon using only its Pokédex entry. Expect chaos. Expect confusion. Expect Ian to overthink it.

Then it’s time for Ask The Intern, as the hosts address the new Pokémon GO ban wave that hit countless Trainers — including many who insist they weren’t cheating. What went wrong? What does it mean? And how do players protect themselves going forward?

The episode surges into The News, spotlighting the brand-new Pokémon GO Season: Precious Paths. The hosts break down the highlights, early impressions, and gameplay shifts, before Mark introduces the details of GO Pass December— including GO Pass vs. GO Pass Deluxe, featured Pokémon, reward tracks, and those mysterious timed incubator bonuses.

Finally, the squad wraps things up with the community’s favourite segment: Shinies of the Week, celebrating YOUR newest sparkles.

Hosts Masterful 27, PoGoMiloUK, and Ian Waterfall celebrate a milestone instalment by diving deep into GO Wild Area Global, breaking down everything Trainers loved… and not so much. From how each host approached the event to the standout wins, frustrating failures, surprising meta twists, and their final verdict on whether GO Wild Global lived up to the hype — nothing is left off the table.

Then it’s time for another checkpoint on the Road to Level 80, where each of the lads shares their current progress, XP strategies, struggles, and whether the grind is finally starting to bite… or pay off.

In The News – Part 1, we break down the newly announced Season STDs (Save The Dates) and the reveal of December Community Day 2025—what we think, what we expect, and what it means for the close of the year.

Then Milo hosts a chaotic round of Play Your Dex Right, putting Ian and Mark through hell of guessing whether a Pokémon is to the left or right of the other, before we jump into WhatsApp Messages from listeners.

This week,

Former host Casual Coops makes his long-awaited return to join PoGoMiloUK, Ian Waterfall and Masterful 27 for a jam-packed, laughter-filled show!

The boys kick things off with some stinky fun — breaking down the GMax Garbodor Max Battle Day and sharing their experiences, best (and worst) raid luck. Then it’s time for the Road to Level 80, where Coops dives into his Pokémon GO grind, XP strategy, and how his playstyle has changed (or not) since leaving the podcast. Expect the usual bit of chaos!

In The News, the gang explores new info from the GO Wild Area 2025 announcement — including the shiny debut of Unown K in Nagasaki and the Global Special Research featuring Dark vs Fairy medals that boost Stardust and XL Candy rewards.

Then it’s time to check in on the Road to Level 80, as everyone shares their progress, strategies, and grind tips — from resource-rich routes to levelling efficiently. But who’s closest to the finish line?

Of course, no episode would be complete without a few laughs — and that’s where “Chasing the Tail”, hosted by Mark, brings the competitive chaos as the hosts test their Pokémon knowledge in this fan-favourite guessing game.
