I have been thinking about this for quite a while and with more and more legends getting added to the game, this should make sense.

As the rarity of egg radar chip goes up, not only the grass area increases, the waiting time also increases. This is a double whammy which in my opinion should only be either one of it. Starters tall grass are crazily difficult and legends are just crazy with 1hr waiting time in between and so much area to cover. It would take a month to reach max chance at least.

So my suggesting is to reduce the difficulty in some way where either we keep the waiting time constant (e.g. 20mins) and the grass area increasing with the rarity of egg radar, or keep the grass area constant (e.g. medium/hard rarity) and increasing waiting time. Personally I prefer the former.

First suggestions in years so pls be nice :)

Strongly agree. It's the only thing holding me back from a cosmogg hunt. I've seen suggestions for like another special item you can buy with nuggets to decrease the wait time. But I would really like to see it reduced. Thank you

I'd have to say no support, sorry ^^'
Tall grass has already been simplified for starters (the egg use to move in the past) and secondly, increasing the amount of patches of grass and the time depending on rarity makes sense, I mean why would a legendary Pokemon be easier to find?
It doesn't really take forever to find eggs either, legendary wise you could get two to three eggs a day (I know this from experience as I have done two different legendary tall grass hunts) and if you didn't know: There's a trick to it. It's like playing battle ships, you start of in one corner and take note of what it says. "Not too far away" means your egg is exactly two spaces from where you click. I'm sure some one could explain this better, I had the distance explained to me way back and it totally works.

And that's just legendary eggs, some "easy" eggs have 3 x 3 grinds and in most cases you find the egg either instantly or in 3-4 times with a 10 minutes or less wait time.

So yeah.. Rather unnecessary ^^;

Thanks for the input ^^ I do appreciate when people explain why they don’t support :)

I agree to certain extent but I still feel it should be made slightly easier and I’ll explain why.
I agree u can get 2-3 eggs per day as I’m starting to get some legend eggs and put them in storage. However, there are days where you get unlucky (I’m super unlucky) where I try to find the “Not too far away” area but it’s at the very last spot as I cycle through the “areas” to click (i.e. corners, middle, middle top/left/bottom/right) - for those that understand me. That’s 9 times before you zone into an area and maybe another 2-3 tries before you get an egg. So that can go up to 12x = 12hrs before u find an egg.

So let’s say for cosmog, we will need 4 forms, average at chain 200. That’s about 3 months worth of work considering you do check back every hour constantly for 3 months, for more than 12 hrs each day. I get that this is a legendary but I still feel it’s too much for people to enjoy the game properly to constantly log back in hourly for such a long period. This is just impossible to put in this amount of effort for people who are working. I’ve seen people hunting this for 6 months and still not getting them. Life shouldn’t be so painful especially when it’s a game. :)

This is just my point of view :)

I understand your point of view but I'm not sure what's unlucky here? One legendary egg a day is guaranteed once it's narrowed down and considering it's a legendary hunt and actually a pretty valuable shiny, why would it need to be easier? One egg a day isn't unlucky really ;w;

Trying 12 times and failing, isn't bad luck if you think about it that way. I still think if you're not being "unlucky" and having an average experience, you could have 2 eggs at least for one of these legendary hunts.
I have got to say, trying to 12 times and failing, are you doing this every time? ^^; I could get the eggs within 8 tries and it's because I could figure it out some time after 6 tries, I'll admit I had bad days but it rarely ever went up to 12 tries.

I also have a personal opinion to share on the topic?
Whilst yeah, it sucks that you have to wait months for a very special shiny, I don't think something should be simplified to get it, I spent MONTHS trying to get ONE shiny Latias and you know what? Worth it. I am so proud of that shiny, I waited and planned, I saved for boxes, everything and do you know how I'd feel if it was easy to get? ;w; .. I honestly don't think I'd care that much about it. I care about it because I put the work into it, I have something to show for the work I put into it! "Hard work pays off" is a phrase I strongly believe in and it's why I don't think a feature should be simplified because some one doesn't want to work for it as much (Not saying you're not willing, just point out my thoughts on simplifying a feature) ; w ;

Games aren't fun if every thing is just handed to you ;w;

Yea I guess there’s always the balance to strike. While I totally agree that it should not be easy to get, I’m just thinking about reducing a potential 6 months hunt to say 3 months. It will still be a lot of effort considering you need to keep logging back in to hunt those eggs. I guess I’m finally making this post after seeing how SM and breeding legends were made slightly easier recently, but thanks a lot for your input :)

As Sakuragi said, I'm not agree with this sugestion.

You have a lot of clues for finding eggs. Some Time ago eggs were not static.
If eggs would keep being non static I would hardly support this. But since they are static now, you just need 4-7 tries as much to find an egg.
And waiting 7 hours (max.) for a possibly shiny legend (if you are hunting) doesn't look bad... I mean, Is shiny legend.
