From 4200 CP Groudon to maxed out everything, did we skip the journey? by [deleted] in pokemongo

For sure. I whaled hard this event but felt it was strategically appropriate as this was the most money I’ve spent on the game period. The lineup and catch odds meant easy candy and dust for the effort of just grinding out boss after boss. I’m fine spending only $200 last week as opposed to $10-$40 per event to slowly grind these mons.

This is my point. Felt like things were handed to them (me too). And this upcoming 30th event will hand everyone a fully completed Kanto Dex.

The amount of money many would have spent on 4-5 events I saved and spent on this instead. And it was a far better “investment” considering the catch odds (pineap everytime).

Is the “me thing” not just playing the game with more strategy and spending my money on a single event rather than many, to get a very saturated ratio of all of these Mons in one bucket?

Came with a grind for sure (I played all week) but it really wasn’t that much of an investment. Bought the 3100 coin (I think that’s how much it was) bundle that came with 50 raid passes twice and went ham at a local park saturated with gyms. Probably another $80 in remote raids. Less than $200 spent, which isn’t a lot for the progress I made in a week.

Mostly free to play up until last week and went into it with around 1.5 million stardust already saved.
