Pokemon Go Mark III

Pokemon Sword and Shield direct at 2pm last time we got Galar Pokemon I'm hoping for Ponyta if it happens again, the monthly research box changes on Thursday at 9pm Shedinja is October one.

Why has it changed from a random legendary to the same one for a month?

Because the vast majority of PoGo Players, especially those better described as PoGo payers, are incapable of catching a legendary in any reasonable number of throws, and get right sulky if they're not being handed "good" catches for free. For these folks (whose parents' credit cards pay the PoGo bill for us all) having 4 chances at an easy catch "rare" is a bare minimum.

Niantec / "The Pokemon Company" had to make a call between:
- Losing crappy, but high-paying, players
- making legendaries as easy to catch as a ratata
- swapping in alternative "rare" pokemon for the guaranteed low-effort weekly catch.

Gameplay-wise it's not what I'd have done, but business-wise it was probably the best of a bad set of options.

I knew it would happen eventually, but losing some of the benefits we had is a shame.

I just wished I hadn't topped up on Incense yesterday. Almost useless to me now.

Bloody hell, a new event started today and within an hour I caught shiny Kricketot, Skitty, and Smoochum with a bow.

Take the rest of the event off

Who was it on here a few years ago lamenting that they couldn't get a sheep ?

I was certainly in that boat in 2017 when they were ultra rare in the wild and only in 10km eggs , I waited months to hatch one which was more frustrating when i had 2 evolutions ahead of me too , i eventually hatched one and walked it for the summer ! , I knew back then there would be a day when I would be surrounded by sheep which did happen with its community day !
Bit frustrating that they didnt include a fire type in the spawns for event , im only 50% on that task at the moment in Victini special research

I don't remember asking for an event of the ugliest gurning useless meowth mutants in the game... Anybody here want to own up to asking for that?

I thought those Meowth research tasks would never end but it seems I've done them all now with only 2 shinies to show for it.

Had a good community day, got 25 Charmander and a shiny shadow Growlithe.

With the strange eggs, still need a Sandile out of the new Pokémon.

Sandile looks ultra rare unfortunately , possibly <5% of eggs , I have hatched 13 red eggs across 2 accounts and waiting on that one too , not sure I will bother much longer esp with end of event and egg hatch distance restored.
Im sure we will see them released in a more accessible form in a few months.

I've done about 12 Red eggs at this stage, One Sandile, 2 Vullaby and 3 Pawniard the rest were Absol or Trubbish, luckily I got 3 new ones from my first few eggs and thankfully we have reduced walking distance atm, I'm not sure I'll do red eggs when they go full distance just to pick up a Trubbish or Absol.
