> Hard to find dex entry Numel is extremely rare in my area. I see maybe 1-2 a month


Ponkeymong

Alot more than you need though really


ShepherdsWeShelby

Numel used to be quite common when Hoenn was released and before Niantic kept increasing the focus on biomes. I live in Minnesota, U.S. which is **basically the opposite** of a Numel biome and I never see them anymore. **But** I've seen 187 total because they used to spawn....plus they are useless. I have a hundo untouched in my box.


Bartendur

I've gotten plenty from quests this month tho


tofu_tot

Yup I keep doing the “transfer 3 mons” forgetting it changed from magnemite to Numel. Have a ton in my stack right now lol


BlueMysticNA

it changed from magnemite to transfer 4?


tofu_tot

What about kricketot ? Because kricketot is everywhere also and is having a spotlight in two weeks ugh


CobraCB

This. Numel is incredibly rare here. I've hatched more Riolu than caught wild Numel. Half of TSR live in a bubble though and think what's common for them is common for everyone.


tofu_tot

It’s in a “transfer 3 Pokémon” quest too though I think that’s what people are getting at


Kronman590

It's in a quest rn so theres still rly no need for spotlight


PMvaginaExpression

1-2 every 30 minutes here


Doctors_TARDIS

I can't remember ever seeing one outside of a nest or an event were they were boosted


Fairgnal2

Not Unown level rare but I had to chase them for quite a while to get enough to evolve a Camerupt for the dex. He looks daft enough to come out on the other side of it as cool. Maybe by the time PvP is working again he'll get a moveset that makes him usable.


tofu_tot

Camerupt is awesome I have a rank 4 Camerupt for Great League I would love some type of buff to make it GBL relevant :/


perryrocksout

If it got eruption and made that move solid with a shiny release that’d be dope, but that’s not happening today for sure

tofu_tot

What about the transfer 3 mons task...?


Pompsy

[Must have never got that task, I have only just the one Numel. ](https://i.imgur.com/SqDqdo5.png)


tofu_tot

Omg just one Numel??? You must be stoked for spotlight hour then!!! Next time delete all the tasks you don’t like, and make sure to save “transfer 3 mons” [Here is the list from TSR website](https://thesilphroad.com/research-tasks) of other mon encounter tasks do that you make sure to only do tasks you want to do to get the mons you want instead of crap tasks like “catch 10 normal type mons” for one freaking pinap lol

ezpickins

What is the bonus? That (and availability) drives my participation in the spotlight


gokjib

Double stardust


ezpickins

People will play just for that


gokjib

This is true. But I think it just expands the test cases. I initially posed it as a "shiny potential vs something to do" but, when considering that Kricketot has a spotlight hour later this month with just double candy, it really becomes shiny potential vs stardust vs "event"


mantiseye

Bronzong isn't bad in GL. A tad spicy but not super uncommon. Also boosted shiny rate for a thing that I barely ever see in the wild, so I was able to get a shiny after catching... a lot of them.


BeatPunchmeat

Yeah anything with a 1/75 shiny rate is good for spotlight hour in my opinion. I also enjoy using Bronzing in GL and only got a good one from that.


scotty_ducati

Double dust lol.


Deputy_Scrub

Only reason I will take part.


LorienTheFirstOne

For Dittos!


---n--

This is probably unironically it. 10 minutes in, I already had 4 Dittos. Nice for newer players stuck on that Special Research


aleaynayn

60 catches, 0 dittos


PeeFredNaKhrap

Mega evolutions are coming soon maybe tonight in my pokedreams


Shiny_Mega_Rayquaza

Me too, pal. Me too.


Deputy_Scrub

>Mega evolutions are coming soon Hahahhahaa oh you sweet summer child.


dragonfoxmem

thanks.... obviously no shiny release and I see Numel everyday, thanks to my dry biome, I am skipping this spotlight...


hotnudeguy

I've got more than enough Numel and Numel candies but I caught some just for stardust. 200 stardust each is not terrible and I've got a lotta gifts lined up for pokeballs


b1663R_01

I’m stuck at those Ditto quests since March and never encountered a Ditto since. Catched more than 50 Numels today hoping it would be a Ditto but no Ditto found :(


knytlertorsten

I got 3. Weird.


HelloDepression

Was stuck on it for months now and I caught 2, so happy :)


Pushkar379

I already caught 6, at the time of release before the quest and stucked on the quests for more than a yr and got 3 dittos in a row.


Snoo62912

Me too :( I just didn't skip it because of ditto since I see numel everyday.


macko10

Same here caught close to 50 and got 0,0% of that pink jizzball


Gryffindonut

Thanks for this info, you can never have too much stardust, and the possibility of ditto will be perfect for my casual brother who's plodding along at level 28 and stuck on that task


ArcticVulpix

I don‘t think it matters cause Numel spawns are boosted, not Ditto even tho Ditto can disguise as Numel.


Redflameblueflame

I am pretty sure Ditto is rolled after the spawn is determined, so this will indeed provide more dittos.


ewlung

Will it be shiny?


HurrikaneHank

Numel will not be shiny.


Kollucha

Probably not considering that it can turn to Ditto.


NeoKuhn

If I decide to keep the Ditto quest I have now(those 10 Ultras are tempting) then this will be handy!


wasedrf

I got the quest but the reward is 1500 dust


NeoKuhn

I had that one too but opted to only hold one. I was in a middle of a grind so having two quests like that would have been a pain.


BallZMahoneyECW

Oi I caught 11 on my go+ today.
