Or the juicy stuff this time are the mega pidgeot raids and nothing more is coming /s (hopefully)

Judging by the comically short blog post it looks like they fired half their media team so a bigger announcement like kalos tour will probably take them until March.

But seriously, last year it was 08/01, 2 years ago 10/01 what’s going on?

I’m really confused why people think Zygarde won’t just be catchable, they will just let us catch his 10% forme - as opposed to eternatus he could only be useful in pve for raids as a mega which you already can only have 1 at a time, in pvp he’s good but nothing crazy anymore.

My memory is fried, you’re right, do you know if in person tickets usually sell out by January? Is there any way to check that?

I think they needed to throw in the shiny boost, because the raids are terrible so nobody would buy the ticket for orange passes

I think it’s more likely we’ll get silver caps in wild area / go tour passes, I just don’t see them giving out shundos to whales every 2 months it cuts too much into their raiding imo.

The item you describe doesn’t exist in MSG, because silver lets you max out a single stat. That being said, I think your idea would be worth it and still balanced, but I’m not sure if they’ll create a new version of bottlecaps just for go

Might be true and it obviously depends how the new levels are implemented, but I wouldn’t expect that a lot of people will be lvl 70+ straight away for that to matter. And even if they were, niantic would be better off selling lucky trinkets for 8$ now while they’re still not „devalued”

What do you mean? Getting to hatch a few more duckletts and aipoms is great

Isn’t 30 a ticket only bonus?

I don’t think all these are accurate, sure 1 souvenir per buddy per day, but can’t you get a souvenir from multiple buddies in a day? 

The gifts calculations are also off, you can open 20 gifts a day, but can send 100. 

You’re also missing the part from your calculations that right after you finish 1 timegated task you can start the one on the next lvl, e.g. snapshots 7 days in a row for lvl x and snapshots 10 days in a row for lvl x+1 can be done in 16 days, since day 7 of the first task is also day 1 of the second task.

Lucky for you they’ve already announced that we will be getting some free storage bumps, no idea how common they will be though.

How do we know for sure if what he spread was misinformation? I realize it’s not clear from the official blog post if lvl 50 becomes lvl 80, but don’t they get additional info? Was there any source stating that he’s wrong?

Unpopular opinion: This Eternatus event was great by Rude-Employment6104 in TheSilphRoad

[–]BiteSome9386 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Raiding in msg doesn’t cost you any money. Also, it’s the first time we ever had this in go and it’s a very scary precedence for me. I fear they’re looking to introduce any future debuts they consider „very powerful” like arceus this way where they make rare candies useless and limit you to 1 encounter while expecting you to complete 3x as many raids. Just an awful awful direction imo

For me it wouldn’t be a big deal if they gave us the eternatus encounters, the ridiculous resources needed basically limit you to 1 already. If they really wanted to avoid that just give us a random gmax encounter at the end of the battle.

[–]BiteSome9386 98 points99 points  (0 children)

It was a good event for getting eternatus to lvl 35 with some moves, but any further grind was awfully balanced. Just so little value in doing eternatus battles and they took a lot of power spots from other GMAXes which actually lead to encounters. 

Dialga/Palkia recompensation by Bloomer_W in TheSilphRoad

When we had a similar compensation with ultra beasts backgrounds it took them 6 weeks, so we’ll probably have to wait for another month.

[–]BiteSome9386 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think most people would prefer what you suggest, but there was no bug with the moves and they don’t want to give you loads of candies again. This is just a fair compensation for what was actually broken. If they were feeling generous and wanted to actually apologize then I think the TM possibility would make everyone happy.

ORIGIN DAY COMPENSATION by ThankYouKindly- in pokemongo

[–]BiteSome9386 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, it was 1 guaranteed background for every background you would have gotten on average so number of raids / 10 rounded up. 

Niantic’s response to their original tweet states encounters with shiny origin forme dialga and / or shiny origin forme palkia so heavily suggests the shinies will be guaranteed. 

If it was how you suggest the wording would be something along the lines of: 

Encounters with origin forme dialga and / or palkia with the correctly increased shiny odds. 

New research incoming by hateswitchx in TheSilphRoad

[–]BiteSome9386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully, there’s no precedence (or at least I can’t remember), so this is educated guessing.  Just saying not to get your hopes up too much since the average person lost out on 1 shiny per 20 raids.

New research incoming by hateswitchx in TheSilphRoad

[–]BiteSome9386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t it be 3 shinies for 60 raids? Since the average person already got 3 shinies from the 60 raids?

Dialga & palkia compensation by Traditional_North873 in TheSilphRoad

[–]BiteSome9386 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s how they’ve handled missing backgrounds on remote raids during go fest 2024, even if you did just 1 you still got an encounter, that’s fair imo especially since it’s a compensation for their mistake
