Well, at least I can finally evolve this shiny mudkip. I also don't have a shiny piplup so maybe I'll get lucky and catch one of those I won't

There's that Jesse and James event coming up so that would be a logical time for it. Or maybe a Team Rocket Steals Christmas thing.

Is there a point to Mega Charizard Y? I did an M. Abomasnow raid today and used my X. I had the option to do the Y instead but it would be an extra 140 mega candy and 1500 lower CP. Is there some hidden stat boost or they just have 2 options with worse stats

Ah ok the type changes, that makes sense. Definitely had a 1500 difference in favour of X though, 3900 for X and 2400 for Y. Mine is pretty under leveled because I use it more for great league, if that matters

I have 3 froakie now, all with terrible stats. I don't suppose this is one of those ones where having low stats actually helps me somehow?

According to random posters on one of the subreddits pricing outside of North America is all over the map. In Brazil the ticket costs roughly 7% of the average monthly wage. In India it’s closer to 10%. Apparently it’s like if the ticket cost $105 USD or $135 CAD.

Seems... not good.

Edit: Ahahaha they scheduled February Community Day for... Super Bowl Sunday. This loving company.

Good, all the jocks will be inside so it's safe to roam the streets :goonsay:

The uncertainty is ridiculously out of hand. I can’t imagine anyone spending an ETM right now with the possibility of the move you want coming back at any moment.

RIP anyone who spent ETMs on Venusaurs after the announcement they’re kicked out of December Community Day. Although I guess that could work out if it lets you skip the paid ticket for the Cash Grab Event in February.

Not to defend Niantic but they were pretty clear that they were going to put the moves back in in some way next year.

Someone explain the best buddy system to me. I have a shadow mewtwo I’m looking to use as my buddy but it’s at 2485cp and I don’t want to screw myself over with the boost

Are you going to use him for ultra league? if not, no worries, best buddy (when he is your buddy again) will push him out of 2500.

That’s my concern, is it worth pushing it out of that bracket?

Yeah, but I haven't had a chance to do the good raids in a couple weeks so walking was my best option recently. This weekend I think we have enough people to do a raid train and I'll be set if the rng loves me enough

Did they start it early this time? Looks like community day is live but I don't want to evolve my swampert too soon here.

Also am I reading that Galarian Mr.Mime thing right in that you have to buy a ticket to get him?

Probably would have been a good idea to increase the spawns a bit. Looks like they'll only be around 2 more days and then I guess I'm sitting on this research until the summer

Ultra is definitely my worst, I just don’t have a good third. I open with Obstagoon since he’s a good tank and eats shields for breakfast, then I have my shadow mewtwo who is an absolute glass cannon, but nobody great for third. I’ve been using a purified Entei to moderate success but he takes forever to charge

I've never seen a reason mentioned, but my guess is lazy/to sell bag upgrades to the living dex crowd.

Probably both

That's just it, I'm a living Dex guy and evolution would mean I'd have twice as many. It's the opposite of making them money

To be fair I caught all but the shadow Snover yesterday without leaving my house, without using incense or lures (not near a stop). It's down to luck with getting the right balloons but the "rare" spawns are semi-boosted for the event.

Yeah actually I already caught everything except the shadows, so maybe I complained too soon here

The gym closest to me is kind of off the beaten path so when I take it I'll hold it for a week or two. That's usually where I stuff my crappy shinies/regionals

Anyone know if the rocket event next week will be one where we can get rid of frustration? I'm guessing not but I just got a shadow magikarp and it'd be nice to wreck poo poo with a shadow gyrados
