See it's stuff like this why I was telling myself it wasn't worth going for the Home's Go Dex 8 months agoSo about that... Post-Event 10ks are in the 3* Rarity alongside Jangmo-o. A bit rarer than the event 10ks at least

Should note if you did those in person that's 3 for the win plus any for the captures. It was one of Niantic's attempts to incentivize in-person raiding when they increased remote prices.Relevant to the discussion the other day about putting candy into Pokemon... reading a discussion on r/SilphRoad earlier about what to use Rare Candy XLs on and people were like "you've got to put them into mythicals, I would never use one on something raidable".
...which makes me want to know, how much XL candy are these people getting from their raids exactly???? I did the Kyogre raid evemt today; only caught 5/8 of the damn things because the game's become laggy as hell since the new catch background was brought in, which increased my Kyogre XL candy by a grand total of... 18. Not what you'd call terribly impressive. What about Rare Candy XL, though? My eight raids gave me... 2 of them.
Possible but at a 100-1 rate I wonder if that'd be faster or not even with stuff like Tanking to farm them off PvPre: XL candy, I'm guessing that its burning through a bunch of *normal* rare candies and then dumping those into the XL transfer
People who go hard on raids are a different breed of weirdos
From how it sounds, the shiny shaymin research is mostly just tedious and mostly based around time gatesIt took over a year, but I finally finished the jirachi masterworks research. The last stretch was tough because I was constantly running low on pokeballs and only able to restock every few days. At one point in an attempt to make bag space I accidentally threw out 200 charge tms. :(
Jirachi got to spend the day as a buddy before getting transferred to HOME so I can take it for a spin in SV later.
Now hopefully the Sinnoh masterworks research is not as terrible...

I am on Step 3 and can confirm Step 3 is the same as Step 2, but with Flying instead of Grass for Task 1 (same Time Gates). No idea on the subsequent steps.From how it sounds, the shiny shaymin research is mostly just tedious and mostly based around time gates
Step 1 is probably the worst, 492 catches for each generation 1-4.
Step 2 in comparison is just some time gates. Catch 20 grass types, catch a Pokemon 7 days in a row, catch a Pokemon on 21 different days
Step 3+ isn't global yet but you can guess how it'll go
Step 3: 10 flying types, 5 days in a row, 15 different days. Those are the same LA numbers for Step 2 so they'll probably go to the same equivalent numbers for global. yes it's literally the same tasks but this time its flying. Just spend 2 months doing the same thing
Step 4: 20 Nice, 20 Great and 20 Excellent throws (all curve balls). Guessing global just doubles these
Step 5: Send 4 gifts w/ stickers, Use 4 berries, earn 4 hearts with your buddy. Yes really. That's it
Step 6: Sinnoh Gold Medal, Reach Level 40, Defeat Team Go Rocket Leaders 3 times. I assume only the Go Rocket Leader task gets increased
Step 7: You're done!
From my perspective it feels like each step was just them going "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Like why even bother with step 5. Step 2 & 3 just being basic big time gates for the sake of making the research last longer?
I can see adjusting the feedback from the nightmares of the previous masterworks but...
Anyway I managed to find a discord with brain worms similar to my own and got the other Charcadet. I am at peace once more, with 833 in the Home Go dex. Hoping whatever the April mon will be, will be less of a pain.
Not too surprisingly, right on the money.I can't imagine they leave it to just those two so...Go does have time of day based spawns right? Like the few times I pull out go at night I do see stuff like Lunatone or Duskull more often.
So that seems like the easiest thing. Lunala (/Dawn Wings necrozma?) with Moongeist Beam causes night spawns for the next 20 minutes, Solgaleo (/Dusk Mane) with Sunsteel Strike
Honestly a downgrade if they go with that but also they kind of really blew their load on the most obvious and useful ones right out of the gate.
