Plus, we reveal the ultimate cheat code to getting what you missed, and break down the handful of True Exclusives that are currently trapped in limbo (where is Armored Mewtwo?!).

    We Walked 76km in the Rain for Mewtwo (GO Fest Copenhagen)

    76km walked, torrential rain, and relying on 72-in-1 body wash from Normal to survive. We made it through Pokémon GO Fest Copenhagen, but between the brutal shiny rates and the massive 2,000-player Unity Raids, was it actually worth the hype? If you are prepping for GO Fest Global, do not make our mistakes. In this special reaction episode, Adam and Joe break down their raw, unfiltered experience in Denmark. We compare our final raid and shiny stats, debate the reality of grinding in a massive storm, and discuss whether the new Unity Raid mechanic is brilliant or just embarrassing to do in public. 💬 Join the Community! 👉 Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/XaBYjB9XJ7 📱FOLLOW THE BURLY BOYS: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@burly.bantz.podca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/burlybantzpodcast Twitter/X: https://x.com/BurlyBantz ⏱️ Video Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 0:17 - Our Brutal GO Fest Stats (Who Won?) 1:45 - Surviving on 7-Eleven & 72-in-1 Body Wash 4:10 - The Fælledparken Grind & Spawn Density 9:20 - The 2,000-Player Mega Mewtwo Unity Raids 13:15 - City Experience & The Torrential Rain 17:00 - The Irish Pub Afterparty & Final Verdict Credits & Disclaimers: 🎵 Audio & SFX: Sound effects obtained from https://www.freesfx.com 🤖 Production Tools: AI asset generation and workflow assistance provided by Flow. ⚖️ Disclaimer: Pokémon, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon character names are trademarks of Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and Niantic.
