Shaymin when? I'd prefer Zarude again, so I can get the rest needed for the shiny, but doubt we'll get it two years in a row, with Shaymin delayed for a third year.

It's been less than a day since the distribution ended, but tbf eggs were hatching slow again from the 3rd-4th day. (The bug with the Rare Candy didn't help either). On that note, a Shaymin encounter boost for warming eggs would be great.

Yellow Forest would also be nice (Apricorn Battle as well, but we had the other one last year, so unlikely). Kubfu/Solar spheres works too, preferably the actual release, not a re-distribution.

a derpatung holding an everstone on auction led to this:

Event (re-)distribution ideas - new evos for old events:
- Derpatung --> Derpalicky/Lickiderp
- Jesterig --> Jesteretsej / Giretsej / Farijester
- Rudolph --> Wyrdolph
- Festival Ralts --> (Mega) Festival Gallade - issue is it's currently female-only
- Fury/Wrath Jr. + Mr. Moody --> Mr. Maniac
- Woopice + poison type in party --> Clodschnee
- Lepreowth + lose coinflip X times --> Cluriserker (Clurichaun)
- Shaysola --> Curcumin

Regional forms wouldn't make much sense. I could see Maiztrix (Hisuian) being Popcorn though.
Where did the -"trix" come from by the way? Why not Decidaize? (Decimaize sounds too much like decimate)

What about Gigantamax events? Could definitely see a Giga Naruchu.

On that note, Cramorant (Slurping)? (Naruchu; shiny not needed).
Aguageist (Chocoluv), Aguageist (Emeran Magikarp)?

Megas for events/hisuians would be unnecessary for now though, especially with ZA releasing.

Magnezoid on the first egg. I'll swap back to Autumn Abra, this time with Ditto.

"Riako did say that any pair with Ditto has an almost 40% lower egg drop than the Perfect Pair equivalent."

"He [Riako] said the chance of getting event eggs from Ditto and two event pairs were the same."

The difference in event rate is greater than the difference in breeding rate.

Assuming the 40% lower for Ditto applies to all "two seem to get along", we could estimate "two seem to get along very well" to be around 20% lower [than a perfect pair].

Therefore, event+ditto produces event eggs 50% more often than event+counterpart, but 40% less often than a perfect pair.

Full post here.

"Your Wide Lens just finished scanning your egg and it turned out to be a Goleros egg."

I'm half convinced that breeding with Ditto actually has a better event rate [than event+counterpart]. Would make sense, as if 100% of the eggs are from the event, then you'd have the same percentage of event eggs as a perfect pair; twice as much as event+counterpart.
Had Unown Flake on the first egg as well. Needs more experimenting to be certain though. Magnezoid is next.

why did an AI spam bot reply to my forum help question :skull:

Looking to swap 5000 Ghost Gems for 5000 Ice Gems.

Been looking through old news posts, found a bunch of interesting lore (more in comments):

"A merchant from a distant region came to Emera Town to open his new shop! He's constantly breeding Event-Pokémon to get some eggs and sell them.
He's already gained a lot of money with this business and he doesn't know where to deposit all of it. That's why he invented a new currency: The Event Points!

There are several ways to get some Event Points
→ You may be rewarded with some Event Points from time to time after fulfilling certain tasks."

"fulfilling certain tasks" isn't a thing?

"The Gem Collector recently found an old Cauldron in the attic of his house!"

"It's said that there is an old manor, outside of Emera Town, deep down in the woods. No trainer dared to go there for a long time now - many even call this place haunted."

"The barrier between Emera Town and the city was finally repealed and you can now take a walk along Route 53!"

And Roaring Moon #10 wasn't shiny of course. I have now gone 16 Paradoxes without a shiny (last was Brute Bonnet, #19 overall). Overall 35, only 2 shinies.

"Shiny bonus: Both of them have immensely boosted shiny odds (10%)." 🤡

Why can't there simply be a guaranteed shiny on the 10th - still 1/10 odds, but 10th is guaranteed if you haven't gotten one yet. Only the 10th, not every 10th; back to 1/10 odds after. Counter resets each event, and is separate for each paradox.

This is a limited-time event; not everyone has the time to reroll tasks all day.


Roaring Moon "Sitewide frequency: 40 / 425"

All other Paradoxes have a greater than 1:10 ratio. Do some people actually release them? Even Iron Thorns: 41 / 306.
Or is this just another example of RNG.‏‏‎‏‏‎

Random shiny tall grass Magikarp! :o

Higher-or-lower is bugged.

Screen recording.

Bug thread.

Visiting Singapore right now, and the wifi speed is ridiculously fast. One click equals one click; there’s no lag. I can see how some people manage to reach 100k clicks in a day now. This means click events like Zeraora and SCS are quite unfair for those in countries with slow internet. Also gameplay in general, since interacting is the main way of earning PD (and powerorbs for eggs.

“You have received a new rumble map for the Galar region!”
Final Galar map obtained!

I’ll probably start another SM hunt to make use of the premium. Any suggestions? (Preferably easy/medium rarity)

I’ll try breeding for normal megas afterwards, since I still have an active mega cuff.
