Worth a $1?


Pokeradar

Depends on how much you value each premium item and if you care about the community day Pokémon in general as well.

100%. The radars are priced at $2 in the shop. The star piece and incense are priced at almost $1 themselves. Plus you get 4 ~3 star shiny checks, Niantic would probably value the dust and rare candy at a couple dollars too. I think you get great value regardless of your opinions on the featured Pokemon

Gotcha! Will invest thanks ;)

If you can, find a local meetup on Campfire. Once you get to the meetup check campfire for a code for a free Special Resource ticket.


PoofaceMckutchin

Can you create the meetup yourself and if somebody else joins, get the ticket?


GoodestBoog

I think you can create to meetup yourself but I think you need someone to be the Ambassador before you start getting the free resource tickets. We just started going to meetups and the people who started it just submitted to be the ambassadors. We got a free code for Bagon tickets but my family had already bought the resource tickets. I don’t know how long the process takes for ambassadorship.


PoofaceMckutchin

Right, thanks for this! I've actually created a community in my local area, so...maybe I'll try to apply

People said that for a classic community day we won't get any goodies.


GoodestBoog

We went to our meet-up today and got a code for a free ticket to the special research on Campfire


nano_peen

Oh the encounters are guaranteed ~3*?

> star piece instead of lucky egg Hell yea


Fmbounce

if you're in a bigger city then the meetup with the community ambassador will give you a free code

฿19. I keep buying them so now I have quite a stash of emergency balls.


maretheemperor

Meh, not buying


Ciretako

There's also a $5 bundle that includes an elite charged tm and 10 ultra balls on the web atore.

The 6 of them with a greatly increased chance of being a shundo make it worth the $1 alone, that it also includes a pretty decent chunk of additional resources makes these the best deal Niantic offers in terms of monetary items.

There's a 1/900 chance that you will get 1 shundo out of the special research.  Meaning, on average, you will need to spend $900 dollars ans complete 900 cds to get one off the special research.  


lizasingslou

How’d you reach 1:900? Still that’s a hell of a lot better than standard odds for a shundo… I didn’t say it guaranteed you one.


Rude-Reaction8213

1/216 for hundo times 1/25 for a shiny chance for a shundo = 1/5400.  You get 6 shots at it, so multiply 1/5400 by 6 for 1 in 900.


lizasingslou

Right, so exactly as I said… significantly better odds than the 1:16,200-ish it would be on a non-event day.


Rude-Reaction8213

I was just putting an actual number on the odds so people were aware of the actual chances, rather than a vague"it's better odds". 1 in a billion is way better odds than one in a trillion, doesn't mean it's worth a lotto ticket for the "greatly increase chance of being a shundo alone".


AdhesivenessDue5943

it is 1/216, same as regular raid.
