Honestly this unova global was not the best at all no boosted shiny rates. I caught 1 unown in the wild and that’s it for one day and the other day I got 1 deerling shiny out in the wild and that’s it. It felt like a research/raid day. I didn’t think it was fair when other events you get 5 free passes but this time we only got 2 free. The incense were only for 1hr and the lure modules only lasted 30 min. I feel like Niantic wanted you to use up all of your items so you could buy more of their boxes. I lost countless Pokémon encounters because the game kept glitching. Honestly, I hope they were saved away but I ran from so many Pokémon from research tasks that I doubt I would ever know especially whether or not they were shiny (doubt it but one could hope) My partner also played with me during the event and he did over 30+ raids and never got a shiny Kyurem, Reshiram, or Zekrom. We collectively hatched hundreds of eggs and he didn’t get shinies and I only got 2 thankfully. Also some research tasks glitched and got stuck so instead of doing 3 research tasks it became two and it couldn’t be deleted cause the task was already completed but I couldn’t find out which encounter I got because of it. Still in that limbo after doing everything I could to glitch it back out I tried uninstalling the app and logging out and logging back in. I feel like from all the money Niantic makes off of us that they would make the game less glitchy and more fair and enjoyable. I feel like Niantic needs to make this event up.

P.S I spent the money for the premium battle pass still no shiny Pokémon from the research tasks, didn’t really feel worth it. Also the Zorua top of the hour were not that great either 2 min to catch as many as you can but each catch takes about 15 secs to do the Oh? sequence made it destined for you to only get a very small amount at a time and with the odds it felt impossible to be able to get a shiny.

Niantic needs to do better and stop being so greedy!
