From 2 to 8 November, don't skip shiny Greavard before Halloween Part II ends on Thursday 5 November at 8pm, and use your October Deluxe pass Lucky Trinket before Sunday 8 November at 11:59pm. Shadow Landorus (a trio), Giratina Origin (a duo) and the Kyogre GO Pass all finish on Tuesday 3 November, and Shadow Tornadus, which needs three or four people and isn't ranked as a Flying attacker, is one to skip.

love your content and energy Matt! im a new player and I get lost when it starts to become too technical. i also like it when you suggest who is a MUST and who is okay to skip - thats why your channel is called Mattsimplified! VERY appropriate! Keep up the great work!

I'm new to Pokémon GO and I play it with my son. Seven months ago, I didn't know anything about Pokémon. I find that most YouTube channels about Pokémon GO are too advanced for me and not very interesting. However, this channel is perfect for beginners like me. Thank you for the great content, Matt!

I totally appreciate you candor surrounding POV of whats important and not so important in the game. You don't hear that kind of honesty coming from most content creators.
