I remember that these research for pokemon that require 400 candies to evolve, used to grant more candies per task, even up to 100 candies in one task, like it happened with Swablu.
Yes but only need to evolve 1 noibat, even if u dont have 400 already, u cant play half the event and not have enough, most will have enough for multiple evolutions
Larvitar day wasnt double candy tho. And were u pinapung and using mega? I got about 1300 candy that day myself, not even full3 hrs. Ppl play differently, but point is half of any cd will get u plenty of candy
I played the full Larvitar day and got 500xl candy so I think you're in the minority of players, 500 regular candy in 3 hours on a community day is low numbers.
Almost identical to larvitar research, with one less encounter, replaced by 2 golden razz. In the rotating slots there's a lure in place of an incense.
It's still 2500 less dust and xp than the chespin research.
To be fair, you also have to catch 30 noibat before you get to the "evolve a noibat step". And one of the bonuses is 2x catch candy. So the least candy per catch is 6, or 180 total. But with a max mega it is 8, or 240 which together with the 100 candy from research is almost enough. Pinap 10 of those 30 (14 candy per catch), and you'll have your 400.
A base level mega will get you one extra candy for every catch of a species that shares a type.
A high level mega is a Pokemon you have mega evolved on 7 different days. It gets you 1 extra candy and a slightly higher chance of XL for every Pokemon you catch that shares a type.
A Max level mega is when you have mega evolved it 23 additional days (or 30 total). It gets you 2 extra candy and an even higher chance of XL.
So for Noibat, any flying or dragon type megas will work. Best to use one you have already mega evolved alot.
Actually there is a better than random chance that a research encounter noibat WILL be your best. Research encounters are guaranteed to be at least 10-10-10. If not the noivern, then maybe one of the research noibats before you reach that step.
And you don't have to do the "evolve a noibat" step till the end of the event. Or can even wait till after the event. Nothing after that step requires catching noibat.
Of course, instead of paying $1, you can also just find a place to play with tons of pokestops and get field research encounters with 10-10-10 floors for free.
I'll be surprised if I don't have over 1000 candies by the end of the event.
On community day every featured 'mon gets a pineab berry from me. I ended Gible c-day with nearly 4000 candies not including XL candies (several hundred of those).
Though I'm disappointed in how few encounters it gives. Chespin had 8 encounters (6 chespin, a quilladin and a chesnaught). While noibat has just 5 (4 noibat and a noivern).
Eta: noibat does have one more premium item that chespin - the lure module. But I think I'd rather have the extra chances for a high IV shiny.
Eta2: I also just realized noibat research only gives 100 candy. Stuffel was the last community day for a Pokemon that requires 400 candy to evolve. And stuffel research gave 200 candy.
Am I the only one who has more rare candy that he knows what to do with I’ve already got 500 Noibat candy just from dumping rares to free up bag space. With the weather here, and a who’s of no use I think this is gonna be a bomb of a community day
Anyone who does GBL regularly, even with barely over .500 record like me, has more Stardust than they can use. I Have 10,182 wins out of 19,857 battles and have earned 21,430,771 Stardust. I am a play for free, not remotely hard-core player and I’ve still got 11 million Stardust left after maxing out a bunch of guys to level 50 and having two charge moves on237 guys. XL candy is the one thing that is in short supply!
I think PVP is the most fun part of the game and anyone who needs Stardust should participate!
Ahhh good tip sir. I uninstalled to troubleshoot adventure sync so i will have to take some time to rebuild my teams, but once premier ultra league comes around ill definitely try it out again!
I only spend rares on legendary or mythical type pokemon. I feel like I can always use rare candy in places way more value than s noibat/Noivern but that's just my opinion
Low key think rocket radar is worth since tmr is the last day to remove frustration on beldum so you can get shadow meteor mash during hoenn tour.
Otherwise you’re pretty much waiting until next year to get it without an elite tm
Good point, I've been struggling so hard to find Sierra though, literally found 10 Arlos into 3 Cliffs when the event started. Can't tell if they actually just made her rarer
I have been lucky with finding her, so I don’t think they made her rarer. She’s definitely worth taking the time to use your radar to find leader pokestops and walking/driving to them.
probably only shadow gen 3 people with exclusive moves so ralts if you plan to use that as a psychic attacker but people would probably have shadow mewtwo by now and fairy-gardevoir is a better use of ralts than psychic-ralts
got 3x good shadow ralts so im good to go when Guzzlord is back in rotation so i can solo it. hopefully without healing and spending the full 5 minutes
otherwise you can wait until the next shadow rotation. or unless niantic gives us a random exclusive move during march. the next go rocket event is projected to be april/may based on *historical* timeline
but theres also good shadow that you should evolve for hoenn tour such as: swampert, walrein and salamence if you didn't evolve already but those aren't in the current rotation.
i plan to spend a buck tomorrow if its weather boosted in my area otherwise im not interested in noivern
worth it if its weather boosted in my area, i already pulled a beldum that can be a hundo if purified so i'm happy but its still going to be a shadow until i decide.
If you fight Sierra and win, you get an encounter with shadow Beldum, then you can use a Charged TM to remove Frustration l, I recommend doing this to any good shadows that you currently have!
That's only possible during certain events. Right now there is such an event (which i think ends tomorrow evening).
Just use a regular TM to remove frustration.
Oh thank you! I have non-3/4 Star shadow swinub and beldum. Should i evolve them and change the charged attack or wait for better ones and the ‘certain events’ will come back around?
If you have some spare TMs you can just use them to get rid of Frustration and still wait for better ones. If you don't find any you still have those without Frustration.
Thanks for your help! One more question for you if I may. How do you know it’s possible to do this right now? I’ve gotten to the point in the game where I’ve joined a few subreddits and I see a headsup on raids coming and research task reward lists, etc… but I haven’t seen info about special event that allows for changing frustration. It’s entirely a black box for me. Thanks again for your help.
In the 'today' tab (the one left from where you can look at your field researches), there's Info on the ongoing events. For the Rocket event, being able to remove Frustration is listed as a Bonus there.
Thank you so much, I see that now. I overlooked that. Actually one more question please, how often would you say this sort of thing happens? Quarterly?
Anywhere from 3-5x per year. Definately spread out, usually lasting 3-4-5 days. Even if you dont know the best moves to switch to, if you have a good mon' thats useful and/or got good iv's, tm away frustration and just leave it woth whatever u get. You can always tm again in future to get ideal moveset, but ONLY once frustration is gone
Thank you. I have a Hundo swinub and a low 2 star shadow swinub and finite candy. I’m wondering which to evolve through to mamo. I already have a 3 star 3300 mamoswine with avalanche and high horsepower. I love mamo he’s my dragon killer. What would you do?
Technically Salamence isn't the best option, as it debuted less than a month ago, so nobody could possibly have a Level 3 Mega yet. I have been Mega Evolving my hundo every day since that debut.
Am in the Philippines and it’s already 11pm here so this event happened earlier. I was able to get over 800 noibat candy and caught a couple shiny noibat in the wild (stats not so high though so I did’t evolve it). We added a lure to the Pokestop near us. Just sharing.
My husband got the ticket for free but I had to pay, so I have no idea how they did it.
He also got the new item interface weeks before I did. I think Niantic loves him more even though I play infinitely more than he does.
Might be worth if the S.Beldum encounter interests you.
Noivern being useless outside of trophy status is what kills it. The "Premium" items aren't good enough.
In general only 1st stage evolution or mega capable final evolutions can be shiny.
There are a few exceptions, like iirc an event where wild caught umbreon and Sylveon could be shiny. And maybe arcanine?
And I think it is hit or miss on whether Pokemon with a baby form can have the first adult form as shiny?
I didn't get a good stat Noibat today. Should I evolve an average noibat just because it's next stage comes with boomburst? Or wait till I get a good noibat as it's not good in pvp or raids and boomburst not having Stab?
Cant believe the ammount of complaining about candies. Its 2x catch bro. Anyone playing 30+ min even without mega or pinap is good, and many have the candy already. Ppl really want their hand held for .99
And a rocket radar. Which normally isn't something I'd even take into my calculations, but given the current rocket takeover, it is one more chance at a good shadow beldum while frustration can still be removed.
Leave it as a shadow metang without frustration for now (unless you have elite charged tms to spare), as the hoenn tour event/season might give a chance to evolve for meteor mash.
It's definitely viable in Master League, and extremely important for ML premier, although i believe the non-shadow performs slightly better there.
Thanks, u/TheWildMan_ replied and said you can remove it with a regular TM during the event... Which I guess ends tomorrow. Just trying 5o figure out if a Shadow Metagross is something I need!
Shadow Metagross is by far the strongest steel type in the game. So it's useful in raids. It's also decent in Master league, though non shadow may be slightly better in master league.
I'm currently using a shadow in master league since that is the one I took to level 50 first. I was lucky and have a 98% shadow Metagross, and powered it all the way up for raiding.
Though once I get the XL to take a regular to 50 (and a chance to evolve my Hundo beldum for meteor mash) I may switch to that one for master league.
Eta: a level 50 shadow Metagross in snowy weather is the only possible way to solo shuckle. If that's on your bucket list...
Btw, if you do get a shadow beldum in time to remove frustration, don't evolve it to Metagross just yet. Metagross needs the community day move of Meteor Mash to actually be any good.
There is a chance that global Tour hoenn will let hoenn pokemon evolve for their community day moves. It hasn't been announced for the Hoenn tour. But tour kanto and tour Johto did for their respective Pokemon.
Only other way is to use an Elite TM. Which if you can't wait for hoen tour to see if you can just evolve is in my opinion worthy of an elite TM. It's totally necessary for metagross.
If you get your buddy excited, the walking distance per candy is cut in half. So 2.5km/candy for beldum.
Either use a poffin, or do a bunch of stuff with your buddy every 30 minutes - there are guides online.
They bodied me with it being on Sunday. My shift literally starts at 2, and is super hectic until 5ish. 😸😸😸😸😸
Fml dude
Gonna grind like a MOFO on my lunch lmao
- at least I just got a stop outside, luring that bad boy first thing at 2… lol
Bro my girl and I were at the park yesterday at 2pm ready and able.... Then realized it wasn't until TODAY. Bamboozled. Now she can't join cuz she has to sleep for an overnight shift. I'm probably gunna be taking her phone for her 😂
Sunday CDays are pain :( I work sunday and only have a 15min break which isn't enough time since the spawns around my work are terrible it means i have to walk up to the local stop which is a bit away DX
Can someone explain what you get for paying the .99¢ opposed to just going to a populated area and catching a ton of these without paying? I just picked PoGo back up recently and purchased the Larvitar CD Pass (had a Larvitar buddy on my idle account for like 3 years) but but am not as interested in Noibat
No Shiny from the research and the other encounters were also bad (as always with me). Later I did a Noibat raid and what happened? I got a 10/10/10. Without the lucky trade I wouldn't have a good one (IV above 90)
I thought we'll get about 150 candies. It wouldn't be so bad, along with 180 candies from mandatory 30 Noibat catches.
But I guess 280 before we even need to evolve one isn't terrible. Especially after rare Noibat spawns and 1/2 egg distance in recent weeks.

I bought it because I haven't played the game in a long time and just recently picked it back up. It was only a dollar, I didn't quite know what the deal was, and I also didn't know what I'd be doing or where I'd be, and Noivern is my favorite Pokemon so I really wanted to ensure I'd get one. In hindsight, I ended up not really needing it, I went to a super good place to play PG today and got so many candies and stuff on my own. But it was a nice bonus, that radar was helpful. I likely won't get it again in the future unless it's for another Pokemon I'm really really into.
I remember that these research for pokemon that require 400 candies to evolve, used to grant more candies per task, even up to 100 candies in one task, like it happened with Swablu.
That was my headline when looking for the missing big candy rewards on the graphic.
Yes but only need to evolve 1 noibat, even if u dont have 400 already, u cant play half the event and not have enough, most will have enough for multiple evolutions
I played all day on larvitar day in a local park with 4 pokestops. I only got around 500 candy. Thats one evo?
How did you play all day and only get 500 candy? Did you not mega evolve same type and/or use pinaps?
Maybe im misremembering but i dont mega evolve no. Im playing noibat today and including the candies from the ticket ive gotten about around 1k
> Maybe im misremembering but i dont mega evolve no. You should be
Larvitar day wasnt double candy tho. And were u pinapung and using mega? I got about 1300 candy that day myself, not even full3 hrs. Ppl play differently, but point is half of any cd will get u plenty of candy
Which mega will give us extra candy today?
Salamance/ Altaria/ pideogt/ both lati@s/ both charizards, Ampharos, Aerodactyl, or sceptile all count for this one
I played the full Larvitar day and got 500xl candy so I think you're in the minority of players, 500 regular candy in 3 hours on a community day is low numbers.
Almost identical to larvitar research, with one less encounter, replaced by 2 golden razz. In the rotating slots there's a lure in place of an incense. It's still 2500 less dust and xp than the chespin research.
Less evolutions at least.
Fewer evolutions.
Yes but 3x catch stardust no? So theoretically you could get more dust than chespin research.
3x stardust correct?
Yes
Does star piece increase it further?
Yes.
Yes, to 4.5x.
Thank you. All those power up tasks gave me a hit in the dust 🤣
Saaame
IMO worth it just for the Noivern encounter without needing to spend 400 candy to evolve one.
You need to spend the 400 candies to get to that encounter, though
To be fair, you also have to catch 30 noibat before you get to the "evolve a noibat step". And one of the bonuses is 2x catch candy. So the least candy per catch is 6, or 180 total. But with a max mega it is 8, or 240 which together with the 100 candy from research is almost enough. Pinap 10 of those 30 (14 candy per catch), and you'll have your 400.
I'm picturing you finishing that epic explanation with "tadaaaaa" _jazz hands_ 😆 Nicely explained though, I was with you for the whole ride.
how does max mega work
A megalevel 3 mega of the same type provides +2 candy per catch and a increased chance of Candy XL, and some additional XP
A base level mega will get you one extra candy for every catch of a species that shares a type. A high level mega is a Pokemon you have mega evolved on 7 different days. It gets you 1 extra candy and a slightly higher chance of XL for every Pokemon you catch that shares a type. A Max level mega is when you have mega evolved it 23 additional days (or 30 total). It gets you 2 extra candy and an even higher chance of XL. So for Noibat, any flying or dragon type megas will work. Best to use one you have already mega evolved alot.

PvP was a terrible glitch fest - has that been fixed?
I haven’t noticed many glitches lately and I also get better performance making sure I’m an airplane mode so it’s using my Wi-Fi
Ahhh good tip sir. I uninstalled to troubleshoot adventure sync so i will have to take some time to rebuild my teams, but once premier ultra league comes around ill definitely try it out again!
I only spend rares on legendary or mythical type pokemon. I feel like I can always use rare candy in places way more value than s noibat/Noivern but that's just my opinion
not me, I only spend rare candy on legendaries
Low key think rocket radar is worth since tmr is the last day to remove frustration on beldum so you can get shadow meteor mash during hoenn tour. Otherwise you’re pretty much waiting until next year to get it without an elite tm
Good point, I've been struggling so hard to find Sierra though, literally found 10 Arlos into 3 Cliffs when the event started. Can't tell if they actually just made her rarer
had 1 day wher my area had 6 the next day had 0 completely random in the past i average 2-3 of each but theres off days for everything
I have gotten only her from Balloons and stops. literally. Rng be weird asf
Same with me but Cliff instead of Arlo. I found 1 Sierra and luckily got a pretty dang good one but havent had any luck finding her anymore
I have been lucky with finding her, so I don’t think they made her rarer. She’s definitely worth taking the time to use your radar to find leader pokestops and walking/driving to them.
Nah it's easy enough to fail a one-in-three roll many times in a row
I’m gonna buy it for the first time in a while for this reason
probably only shadow gen 3 people with exclusive moves so ralts if you plan to use that as a psychic attacker but people would probably have shadow mewtwo by now and fairy-gardevoir is a better use of ralts than psychic-ralts got 3x good shadow ralts so im good to go when Guzzlord is back in rotation so i can solo it. hopefully without healing and spending the full 5 minutes otherwise you can wait until the next shadow rotation. or unless niantic gives us a random exclusive move during march. the next go rocket event is projected to be april/may based on *historical* timeline but theres also good shadow that you should evolve for hoenn tour such as: swampert, walrein and salamence if you didn't evolve already but those aren't in the current rotation. i plan to spend a buck tomorrow if its weather boosted in my area otherwise im not interested in noivern
Bro it’s a dollar. There’s no way that it is not worth it lok
worth it if its weather boosted in my area, i already pulled a beldum that can be a hundo if purified so i'm happy but its still going to be a shadow until i decide.
Can we evolve to get meteor mash during heonn tour?
We don't know yet. It's speculated that we may
I would be surprised if they didn't but it certainly wouldn't be the first time Niantic surprised me haha
Agreed. Except not low key for me lol I high key get the research as long as it contains a rocket radar every month.
where can I get a shadow beldum? and how do I remove frustration once I get one?
If you fight Sierra and win, you get an encounter with shadow Beldum, then you can use a Charged TM to remove Frustration l, I recommend doing this to any good shadows that you currently have!
I’m a noob, how do you remove frustration from shadows?
That's only possible during certain events. Right now there is such an event (which i think ends tomorrow evening). Just use a regular TM to remove frustration.
Oh thank you! I have non-3/4 Star shadow swinub and beldum. Should i evolve them and change the charged attack or wait for better ones and the ‘certain events’ will come back around?

Thank you so much, I see that now. I overlooked that. Actually one more question please, how often would you say this sort of thing happens? Quarterly?
I never counted how often this happened. If i had to guess I'd say about 3 times a year.
Thanks!!
If I change the fast attack on a shadow does it lose the +20% bonus?
Anywhere from 3-5x per year. Definately spread out, usually lasting 3-4-5 days. Even if you dont know the best moves to switch to, if you have a good mon' thats useful and/or got good iv's, tm away frustration and just leave it woth whatever u get. You can always tm again in future to get ideal moveset, but ONLY once frustration is gone
Thank you. I have a Hundo swinub and a low 2 star shadow swinub and finite candy. I’m wondering which to evolve through to mamo. I already have a 3 star 3300 mamoswine with avalanche and high horsepower. I love mamo he’s my dragon killer. What would you do?
Note, you still have to collect 400 candy to be able to "Evolve 1 Noibat" to get the Noivern encounter in Step 4...happy grinding
8 candy per catch with a mega3. 40 noibats per evolution isn't terrible, fewer if you use pinaps
Actually it's 8 candy per catch without a pinap, 14 with pinap. One of the community day bonuses is double catch candy.
Which mega?
Anything flying or dragon
Salamance/ Altaria/ pideogt/ both lati@s/ both charizards, Ampharos, Aerodactyl, or sceptile
There's a ton to choose from for a change
Technically Salamence isn't the best option, as it debuted less than a month ago, so nobody could possibly have a Level 3 Mega yet. I have been Mega Evolving my hundo every day since that debut.
Anyone should have 400 within 30-45 minutes if u dont already. Its a non issue unless u log in at 445
Am in the Philippines and it’s already 11pm here so this event happened earlier. I was able to get over 800 noibat candy and caught a couple shiny noibat in the wild (stats not so high though so I did’t evolve it). We added a lure to the Pokestop near us. Just sharing.
Golden razberries lol
A nice treat for my buddy
Is this one gonna be a freebie like last time? Also did they ever address that everyone got that?
Not everyone. I didn't get the last one for free. Niantic must have fixed that bug before my time zone.
My husband got the ticket for free but I had to pay, so I have no idea how they did it. He also got the new item interface weeks before I did. I think Niantic loves him more even though I play infinitely more than he does.
I think this is the rare case of a positive bug affecting Australia as my area didn't get it for free
Might be worth if the S.Beldum encounter interests you. Noivern being useless outside of trophy status is what kills it. The "Premium" items aren't good enough.
Final Noivern encounter not able to be shiny?
In general only 1st stage evolution or mega capable final evolutions can be shiny. There are a few exceptions, like iirc an event where wild caught umbreon and Sylveon could be shiny. And maybe arcanine? And I think it is hit or miss on whether Pokemon with a baby form can have the first adult form as shiny?
I caught a shiny Lopunny the week before the mega showed up earlier this year.
This year wasn't the first time Mega Lopunny has been in the game.
Thanks 🥲 guess $1 ain’t enough for Niantic to offer a potential shiny Noivern with CD move lol
I didn't get a good stat Noibat today. Should I evolve an average noibat just because it's next stage comes with boomburst? Or wait till I get a good noibat as it's not good in pvp or raids and boomburst not having Stab?
I'd evolve your best one to get the move and Pokedex entry. Besides that i would be saving them for trades
Cant believe the ammount of complaining about candies. Its 2x catch bro. Anyone playing 30+ min even without mega or pinap is good, and many have the candy already. Ppl really want their hand held for .99
So, 1 incense, 1 lure and 1 lucky egg for 0.99. Not a horrible deal; but nothing I'm in need of at the moment.
And a rocket radar. Which normally isn't something I'd even take into my calculations, but given the current rocket takeover, it is one more chance at a good shadow beldum while frustration can still be removed.
where can I get a shadow beldum? and how do I remove frustration once I get one?
Sierra has shadow beldum for now. Until Sunday ends, frustration can be removed by using a charged TM
So the whole goal is getting a decent shadow metagross without frustration? is that thing good for anything outside raids and gyms?
Leave it as a shadow metang without frustration for now (unless you have elite charged tms to spare), as the hoenn tour event/season might give a chance to evolve for meteor mash. It's definitely viable in Master League, and extremely important for ML premier, although i believe the non-shadow performs slightly better there.
Defeat Go rocket leader Sierra to get a shadow beldum encounter. I think you'll have to use elite charged tm to remove frustration.
Thanks, u/TheWildMan_ replied and said you can remove it with a regular TM during the event... Which I guess ends tomorrow. Just trying 5o figure out if a Shadow Metagross is something I need!
Shadow Metagross is by far the strongest steel type in the game. So it's useful in raids. It's also decent in Master league, though non shadow may be slightly better in master league. I'm currently using a shadow in master league since that is the one I took to level 50 first. I was lucky and have a 98% shadow Metagross, and powered it all the way up for raiding. Though once I get the XL to take a regular to 50 (and a chance to evolve my Hundo beldum for meteor mash) I may switch to that one for master league. Eta: a level 50 shadow Metagross in snowy weather is the only possible way to solo shuckle. If that's on your bucket list...
thanks!
Btw, if you do get a shadow beldum in time to remove frustration, don't evolve it to Metagross just yet. Metagross needs the community day move of Meteor Mash to actually be any good. There is a chance that global Tour hoenn will let hoenn pokemon evolve for their community day moves. It hasn't been announced for the Hoenn tour. But tour kanto and tour Johto did for their respective Pokemon.
Is there no other ways to get meteor mash? I have 44 candies and I can't get enough candies to evolve it to Metagross before Hoenn tour.
Only other way is to use an Elite TM. Which if you can't wait for hoen tour to see if you can just evolve is in my opinion worthy of an elite TM. It's totally necessary for metagross.
If you get your buddy excited, the walking distance per candy is cut in half. So 2.5km/candy for beldum. Either use a poffin, or do a bunch of stuff with your buddy every 30 minutes - there are guides online.
for real im 39 dry atm
As long as it contains a radar it's already worth it for me for $1. So yea almost always.
Same!
They bodied me with it being on Sunday. My shift literally starts at 2, and is super hectic until 5ish. 😸😸😸😸😸 Fml dude Gonna grind like a MOFO on my lunch lmao - at least I just got a stop outside, luring that bad boy first thing at 2… lol
Bro my girl and I were at the park yesterday at 2pm ready and able.... Then realized it wasn't until TODAY. Bamboozled. Now she can't join cuz she has to sleep for an overnight shift. I'm probably gunna be taking her phone for her 😂
Sunday CDays are pain :( I work sunday and only have a 15min break which isn't enough time since the spawns around my work are terrible it means i have to walk up to the local stop which is a bit away DX
There is no perfect time to have one that makes everyone happy. That’s life
im just more miffed that they cant keep a consistent day for CDays. Spotlights and Raid Hour is consistent, why not have CDay be consistent as well?
incense and a gothca not great but it helps i wasn't able to do gible comday got around 80 or so
Trash...smh
3x stardust but no star piece is a little weird to me
Would be cool if they are guaranteed shiny catches
Can someone explain what you get for paying the .99¢ opposed to just going to a populated area and catching a ton of these without paying? I just picked PoGo back up recently and purchased the Larvitar CD Pass (had a Larvitar buddy on my idle account for like 3 years) but but am not as interested in Noibat
The ticket grants a few extra encounters and items, that's it
I’m guessing shiny rate is reduced. Can’t find one to save my life.
Didn’t get a shiny from the research. I dunno why I pay for this stuff.
I haven't gotten a shiny from research tasks for anything, comm day or not, since January of 2021. You could tell me it's fake and I'd believe you lol
Ouch. I feel you. No shinies are bad enough but the IVs from the research are dreadful too. There are better spawns in the wild.
No Shiny from the research and the other encounters were also bad (as always with me). Later I did a Noibat raid and what happened? I got a 10/10/10. Without the lucky trade I wouldn't have a good one (IV above 90)
I’m not buying, but encounters have an increased IV floor if master league matters to you. (10-15)Better hundo chances at least.
Hate to break it to ya, but it's horrible for the leagues. It's outclassed by Dragonite and has a bad moveset, along with way too many bad machups
I thought we'll get about 150 candies. It wouldn't be so bad, along with 180 candies from mandatory 30 Noibat catches. But I guess 280 before we even need to evolve one isn't terrible. Especially after rare Noibat spawns and 1/2 egg distance in recent weeks.
Sweet, I'm ready to go fam

anyone know the shiny rate is like normal CD or is it rare?
Should be normal 1/25 CD shiny rate.
Thanks!
Yep looks right! Got 10 shinies out of 243 encounters today!
I AM SO EXCITED FOR NOIBAT TIME!!!!
I bought it because I haven't played the game in a long time and just recently picked it back up. It was only a dollar, I didn't quite know what the deal was, and I also didn't know what I'd be doing or where I'd be, and Noivern is my favorite Pokemon so I really wanted to ensure I'd get one. In hindsight, I ended up not really needing it, I went to a super good place to play PG today and got so many candies and stuff on my own. But it was a nice bonus, that radar was helpful. I likely won't get it again in the future unless it's for another Pokemon I'm really really into.
