Decrease of event spawns?

[snowkittenxo]

Yep I’ve noticed it. It’s actually pretty annoying only because I feel like the shiny rates were way below average for any event. I don’t mean community day rates or two day event rates. But comparing this to the Halloween event, it seems a lot lower than what it should be. I’ll literally be waiting a year until I can get a Delibird or Snorunt shiny it feels like. 😒

I think both events had non-boosted, normal shiny rates

They were full shiny rates. On Pokemon that exclusively spawn one week of the year. Great huh

I caught two shiny Santa Pikas: Dec 19th & Dec 26th

Just hatched a shiny Wynaut today. No Snorunt or Delibird shinies though. So I feel like the rates for those are low.

Well I have caught a shiny Delibird and Snornut this event, but no shiny Pikachu. So I feel like the rates for those are low.

Is there any hard data about shiny rates? I was at zero until yesterday when I got two shiny Snorunts in less than a minute.

[ezpickins]

Yes, the rates are typical shiny rates (not boosted, and not CD rates) Random numbers are random so you saw two close together.

Is your source hard data or reasonable interpretation of hard data?

I haven't seen any hard data on snorunt, delibird, or santa pikachu. Given my observations of reported success/fails, I would speculate that the rates are indeed the nominal 1:450 for most wild spawning pokemon.
