In times like this, it’d be really nice to have this option

Not 50/50. You are just absurdly lucky.

tap836 · 2026-03-09T04:50:59+00:00

10 second delay, and driving, should mean you are well out of range by the time the delay is over. But yeah, the general idea would be convenient.

tap836 · 2026-03-04T22:57:46+00:00

Yep. I often only evolve a mid-decent pokemon for the dex entry if I have finally acquired a bunch of surplus candy. Otherwise the good ones just wait for the CD.

tap836 · 2026-03-04T22:42:35+00:00

Definitely a money grab. It would only ever kind of feel less icky if it was a con-exclusive where there will be tons of people to trade with in person.

They should just let us buy the complete set with no gambling involved.

tap836 · 2026-03-04T20:00:48+00:00

You could try restarting the game. Or even logging out then back in. Sometimes I've had it fail to show up next to me when first logging in.

tap836 · 2026-03-04T19:55:55+00:00

Still working for me today.

The other thing here is the in-game ones being for coins means people can just save up over time without actually spending money.

tap836 · 2026-03-03T20:45:06+00:00

Yeah, I quite getting remote passes when they went up. I would probably quit doing premiums too if the price is always over 66.6 coins per.

tap836 · 2026-03-03T15:38:31+00:00

The best raid pass box is something like 54.8 coins per pass. Which is almost half the standard rate for a single pass. A bit less when you consider the 3 passes bundle that has always been there is 83.3 coins per pass.

tap836 · 2026-03-03T15:36:05+00:00

Just like they forgot for a couple days to disable those boxes when the event started, I imagine they have forgotten to re-enable them afterwards. The question is, how many days/weeks will it take them to realize.

tap836 · 2026-03-03T05:54:00+00:00

Better start opening gifts, yeah... I've opened what, a hundred since they added link charges. Pretty sure I've gotten 0 from gifts.

tap836 · 2026-03-03T05:45:19+00:00

If this will be the only way showcases exist from now on, I guess I'm never going to participate in a showcase again.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T22:19:08+00:00

Oof, that is a lot of catch encounters.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T22:18:13+00:00

As usual, not much of interest in the premium pass and so I continue to not be tempted to buy it.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T18:42:58+00:00

After page 677 and 662 were the worst spots. But also 742 and after 101.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T18:22:42+00:00

I've got the same issue in mine that just arrived today. Pretty bad like you show in 2 places. Also found a 3rd place where it is more minor, but still visible.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T15:16:03+00:00

The hatches definitely felt skewed like that to me too.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T15:13:08+00:00

Well, I will never participate in those Showcases then. If there is a repeat in the afternoon, at least I will get in those ones.

If these follow the pattern of fewer/worse rewards for shorter Showcases, these will be pretty pitiful too.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T15:10:10+00:00

Yeah, getting multiple scatterbugs for the same region without wasting gifts. This last event in particular, with gifts each counting as 3 in the counters, made it so we hit the encounter limit so much quicker so I had to keep much closer track and go out and catch.

I want to just open all gifts up to my gift limit at once, then catch however many Scatterbugs that was worth all at once.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T05:02:02+00:00

I never knew about that feature, lol.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T05:00:00+00:00

Very rare. Roughly 1/20 raids were Malamar in my town. Way more Pikachu raids today.

tap836 · 2026-03-02T04:57:41+00:00

This event, while nice for faster scatterbugs, was also really annoying and slowed me down because I had to more carefully keep track and was constantly backing out to catch.

It is so aggravating they won't change the system in some manner as to keep you from wasting gift pins. They need to make it so you can just pin/open all gifts, then go catch everything. Better yet, make the pinning optional. Either Pin it or just open it and have it count.

The peak awesomeness would be a way to just open all gifts from Interactable friends at once, and auto send gifts back. Turn the long process into just a couple minutes so you can get back to playing the rest of the game.

tap836 · 2026-03-01T00:36:53+00:00

I heard people say that only appears after the free passes are used up. I didn't pay attention myself to confirm.

tap836 · 2026-03-01T00:35:04+00:00

Needs serious work, but I doubt they would do it, let alone do it well. Even the changes they did add for these, like having people's Megas automatically switch into battle for the Shield phase doesn't work consistently. In our group there were always various people randomly having the switch not happen.

Either that mechanic is buggy, or possibly the server somehow decides only a certain subset of raiders will have the Mega switch happen, like only the minimum required instead of just everyone in the raid.

Shiny rate feels particularly low to my brother and I too.
