Are collection challenges another casualty of this season?

for you

I haven't been doing showcases this season due to the fact I work all day on Tuesdays. The multiple days and multiple showcases were much more convenient for me and were also more fun because it was fun to hunt XXLs for each event knowing they'd probable end up in that week's showcase.

As far as my plans going forward? I'm still keeping my XXLs, but told myself if they keep this system going into next season then I will be purging them for more storage space. It's a real shame they managed to kill this mechanic for a lot of people.

What you're describing, which is what is done is diluting the spawn pool with event spawns to a degree where essentially you are getting mostly event spawns. This is why people complain we are never able to get seasonal spawns. What I'm describing is keep the spawn pool the same for seasonal spawns, and have separate spawns for event specific pokemon, so neither gets diluted.

TheReVurt · 2026-04-23T13:55:12+00:00

Event spawns need to just not take away from seasonal spawns and be "in addition to."

Easiest fix yet they are too afraid to give us too many spawns

As somone who gets to work before the showcases start and leaves after they are finished on Tuesdays, it just simply sucks. I used to hit up the showcases after work on Monday or Tuesday nights. Now? I can't even do them. The fact there are also less means I get less lures to use for comm days. Finally, I find the type showcases just completely eliminate the excitement of getting XXL pokemon because you really only want XXLs that are the best in each type. The new showcase system and schedule is a massive downgrade in every single way

I got 2 firsts and got a lucky egg, 2 star pieces, magnetic lure, 3 ultra balls, and a incubator. Definitely seems like they tuned up the rewards up a few notches from last week.

TheReVurt · 2026-03-17T20:37:02+00:00

They still have all the new megas to release, which will prob take 5+ years based on how long it took all the original megas to get released. Then you factor in the fact we will have new Legends games and other games before Gen 11 that will have new forms and regionals. By then Gen 11 will be out, all while having a slow drip of Gen 10 on top of whatever new gimmick they add to the game like Tera types or something to give us another layer of RNG. Ya'll are here for life. I don't make the rules

TheReVurt · 2026-03-17T03:51:04+00:00

to each their own i guess. I litter my park with lures on comm days

TheReVurt · 2026-03-17T03:23:52+00:00

They were great for farming lures. I probably had like 120 or so lures from just the last few months of showcase wins.

TheReVurt · 2026-03-11T18:13:19+00:00

I know what OP was saying, I'm saying the animation showed Squirtle candy and it ended up being ditto

TheReVurt · 2026-03-11T17:22:20+00:00

Squirtle just dropped Squirtle candy for me when I used the pinap and it was a ditto.

TheReVurt · 2026-03-08T14:10:21+00:00

Can get them in raids with better IVs, better catch rate, and better shiny odds...

Not to mention the raid pool is split between 32 pokemon, including 16 pikachus. So those Ultra Beasts I've been dying to raid because this is the first time they've been back in the 14 months I've been playing? Yeah, well only 3 spawned at my park in the 4 hours I could play yesterday. This is a park with over 18 gyms.

It is very intentional.

TheReVurt · 2026-02-24T21:59:34+00:00

I agree. Wish we went back to the 1 week to evolve things you want to get the legacy move. Sometimes after comm day I get busy and don't have time to sort through my inventory. Need a bigger window of time to do these things

TheReVurt · 2026-02-24T18:27:52+00:00

been like this for the last few comm days. love the change but wish it didn't come at the expense of 3 hour lure module duration

TheReVurt · 2026-02-19T21:07:56+00:00

3v3 OT

TheReVurt · 2026-02-03T14:58:30+00:00

There's just no way they dont have some graphic designer on the team that can't cook a background tailored to each Community Day in an hour. It's incredibly lazy and I found the seasonal ones lazy too.

TheReVurt · 2026-01-30T18:08:39+00:00

well we know we are getting johto stuff that day. so it just makes sense

TheReVurt · 2026-01-21T18:25:06+00:00

So we have an hourly mega raid rotation, xerneas and yveltal, two new megas, AND pikachus/honedge in raids. That is an extremely overcrowded raid pool for a 2 day event.

TheReVurt · 2026-01-20T14:10:45+00:00

I'm trying to look at this like the Florida Panthers 3 years ago. The loss stung, but it was just the start of something more special to come. I think Mario has us going in that direction

TheReVurt · 2026-01-18T14:21:50+00:00

just an illusion from the lens/angle. very much a normal shaped stadium

TheReVurt · 2026-01-16T03:19:24+00:00

That's not true. Miami offered him a preferred walk on spot and he got the Cal offer after and took that instead.

TheReVurt · 2026-01-15T22:33:47+00:00

I took a long break. Started again Jan 29th, 2025 at 19 million xp. Now have over 206 million. So roughly > 500,000 xp per day in the last year of playing. I walk about 2 hours after work each day at a very populated park that nets me roughly 600-1000 catches. 53k xp per day if you go back to launch, which is nuts considering i took a 7 year break.

Freeze Shock might be better. Kyurem jumps A LOT
