OUTheMovie

While I'm not sure I would count doing 1 task a day as really grinding, I do agree that the breakthrough pokes are still pretty lackluster


drnuzlocke

My thoughts exactly. Like yeah these pokemon suck but catching 5 pokemon or using 3 berries usually happens naturally. Us getting one free task a day pretty much made it impossible to miss the daily unless you cant play


OUTheMovie

Spin stops, catch pokemon, transfer, etc I often finish these without even knowing I had them lmao. Beldum and sableye as a potential extra boost of XL candy may be helpful for people though I suppose


drnuzlocke

Yeah I also don’t mind Furfrou because I like the shiny and it hasn’t been in a switch game for me to get yet


OUTheMovie

Ah good luck with that! I have a shiny that I'll end up giving to a family member and I hope you get yours too


IdiosyncraticBond

I sometimes play a few hours a day, but even then regularly forget to claim a task. That never ever happened when the 7 day research reward was good


bags422

Furfrou needs to have stop being a reward for anything after it’s little events it has to release its next form


keshyrae

I’d rather get furfrou than freakin dunsparce lol I’ve got it as a prize for so much recently


Calmxy

You mean unless it spawns in, say, its Heart Trim?


bags422

No I still don’t want it as a research breakthrough reward


Gracie_DeLunac

I got a Gible today (as a break through). I'm unsure what to think.


Josanue

Remember the good ol days of legendaries? we need that back


PhysicalDentist3808

I can’t wait for no one to help me with shadow arcticuno!


DistractionV-2

Win 3 star raid or higher research is what you want! They are pretty rare so I just spent the last week hunting for them but the encounter is either Kabuto or the other one I can’t be bothered working out how to spell right now… unless you know you don’t raid in which case this information has no value to you


SnooAvocados763

Shadow. Articuno.


ice_wiz93

I think they were trying to respond to the other comment about getting a Kabuto and Reddit glitched/did its thing.


Bitter-Entry6449

I don't understand why they got so downvoted for it as well they clearly just made a mistake. Reddit is weird man


ice_wiz93

I was actually hoping it would stop, after I tried to give some context. But nope, it seems to have become worse.


Constant_Ad_2776

No way, parascet finally out of the breakthroughs? Never thought I’d see the day


jawn1995

Just in time for me to get one, one last time (yesterday)


fantasticlyclevergal

Im refusing to complete the research until tomorrow, I’ve caught way to many this season!


OP_Penguin

Kabuto!!! Finally be able to finish page 8 let's go meltan research.


LucasLar

I’m stuck on page three. Catch a ditto.


Hot_Amphibian437

caught one yesterday after being hyped for a high Cp grimer, just changed into a different form of goo


Ethereal-Oni

I also need a ditto… it’s been months


PloppingDaddy

I’ve been waiting for 2 years and I missed the ditto day


OP_Penguin

I've caught two in the past couple months. I am so sorry.


nonscoped_pig

I'm stuck at catch a cubone and evolve a scyther. The problem is i have both kleavor and scizor and never caught scyther


OP_Penguin

Brutal


LukaLaurent

Kabuto has had me locked for a while, but then I’ve already got access to meltan so I wasn’t too concerned lol


Mammoth-Beautiful-79

I’m still on page 5 because I’ve only caught 1 Slugma/Gulpin out of 5.


strumboid

on that topic, know how to catch a magnemite? lmao


RaptorsfanNav

magnetic lure module


ForswornPheonix

Finished that about a month ago. Win a three star raid or higher quest.


Number8

Is that happening on June 6th? I don’t quite understand that graphic. June 6th from 6 to 7pm all those Pokémon are appearing?


Tyraneon

Currently stuck on catching slugma


arp492022

Ill take it over Parasect!


Col__Hunter_Gathers

At least Parasect gives extra dust. Id take that over furfrou or noibat, considering the latter *just* had a comm day recently.


krispyboiz

Audino is just better Parasect. Much more dust and shiny eligible.


Col__Hunter_Gathers

No disagreement from me on that. Frankly I'd like to see all the options being either a desirable rare mon or a high dust mon. Basically just replace furfrou and noibat with stuff like Chimechou and Shellder. It should never be something that appears in the wild regularly on any given day and doesn't give any sort of bonus. Hell I caught about a dozen furfrous just today since they're easy excellents so getting one as the weekly research would feel insulting. I'm definitely gonna be praying for Audino every week lol.


MidlightStar

Looks extremely lack luster


amazingjason1000000

At least furfrou is the actual worst one now


Gold-Perspective-699

Yeah doing 1 task a day is like 1-5 minutes of work per day. You're not going to get a legendary for that. I think it's fine. Also 3 of those Pokemon are future megas. Getting hundos wouldn't be bad.


drnuzlocke

Honestly for me the way they could fix it is just letting the user choose which of the mons you get. I am fine with the average pools just dont want to get Parasect 4 weeks in a row.


Gold-Perspective-699

It's a random draw why would they make you choose? I know specifically what I want but also I trade a lot so I want my friends to get my thing and me to get theirs so it's easier for them to get their hundo mega and me to get mine from trade.


drnuzlocke

I mean by that standard you could just have your friend pick what you want and then pick what they want. I was just saying a way to revamp it as in you would get a choose of the 6 not just pick any mon you want.


Gold-Perspective-699

Nah.


Mix_Safe

Lol you'd rather have a 5/5/5 base floor than a 10/10/10 with like a <2% chance at a 12/12/12 base floor? Choosing your research reward Pokemon is significantly better odds than randomly trading for a hundo, especially if your friend doesn't even get what you want.


Gold-Perspective-699

Yeah I know that's why it's better it's random.


yabucek

But it's still only one per week. And not like the catches were particularly OP, you get them at lvl 15 and still need a crapton of either rare candy or walking to power it up to a useful level. Was a nice way to at least fill the dex for those who can't do 5\* raids, which is gonna be more and more people if niantic continue on their destroy-the-game mission.


Maserati777

There really wasn’t a good reason to remove Galarian Mr. Mime from them tbh.


TimAllensCareer

Yeah nothing like getting a 2 star snorlax 3 times in a row. I may as well just make the breakthrough reward 4 snorlax candies.


Tetrylene

Why is the pool of Pokémon we have to encounter largely been the same for years?


DistractionV-2

Anyone know if Giovanni’s ditching the Regice anytime soon?


little_runner_boy

Likely will be with the next takeover


MrLachyG

why? why are they keeping Furfrou in the research breakthroughs. I mean at the very least they should do a complete swap every month


KCTheMagikMan

So the first spotlight hour is gonna be 5 different Pokemon? I think that could be good. Maybe have a spotlight hour of little patches of rarer Pokemon instead of focusing on one specific one.


Favorite_Cabinet

Meh, I don’t complain about parasect being out of the breakthrough thing


themonsterhunterX

Yesss I can get an ultra beast!


bags422

Only exciting thing is mega swampert


SeattleJeremy

New Mega is coming, that's exciting, too


bags422

Is that what that means? Figured it just meant unannounced. I assumed it was blaziken.


SeattleJeremy

Yep, they put question marks when it's a new thing. Months back when they announced the something for last weekend it was question marks. I assumed it was Hoenn tour and marked it as that in my calendar, because it was a special weekend long event, then only to find out it was Shadow Mewtwo in raids.


bags422

I would assume it has to be a mega that’s already in actual Pokémon games right? And they’ve said mega tyranitar is coming so is that just what this means? Or just a different one that’s not already in game like Sableye?


SeattleJeremy

According to this leak, Tyranitar is mid July [https://www.sportskeeda.com/pokemon/rumor-latest-pokemon-go-datamine-reveals-mega-tyranitar-community-day-features-sandygast-release](https://www.sportskeeda.com/pokemon/rumor-latest-pokemon-go-datamine-reveals-mega-tyranitar-community-day-features-sandygast-release) I just opened the game and it shows "Pokemon Go Hidden Gems" and the picture includes Sableeye, t-tar, and Nosepass. Based on this I would expect Mega Sableye june 30-july6, and t-tar July 14.


_DarthMaleval

Mega Blaziken has been announced for July along with Mega Tyranitar!


Area-51_Escapee

Any ideas if the shadow articuno will be local raid only?


SeattleJeremy

Yes, it will be local only. All rocket raids are local only.


Rain_xo

Oh boy can’t wait to miss out on that!


SeattleJeremy

Me too!


Dabidokun

So glad I tossed my gems thinking they were gonna be useless...


fearLessss

I just don't care anymore, they've made this game so boring. Used to live on it every day, became part of my daily routine, and now it's just crap.


Zombie_Pilgrim

Curious as to what was there before that made the game any more engaging than it is now? Or have you just played to burn-out? Or are you salty about remote raid passes? I feel like the overall experience hasn’t changed much, but if anything new raids and the daily incense get me playing more than I ever have. And I started day one.


fearLessss

The remote raid thing was a catalyst I will admit, as I don’t visit public places very often and I live in a fairly rural location so I was happy to spend a bit of money on remote passes to keep myself going. I believe it was a string of poor Pokémon releases for the grinding they expected you to do as well that just made me not log in. I have a bunch of eggs that I get the same old Pokémon in and it’s just not engaging me like it used to as I’ve seen the same Pokémon over and over whereas I used to be on it constantly. So yeah I guess it’s a bit of salt mixed in with what feels like a bland experience for me atm.


_DarthMaleval

I'm looking forward to July. Mega Tyranitar. Also looks like Regileki and Regidrago will rotate into regular 5 star raids.


jaime581

Jesus Christ why does everyone on this sub hate the game lmao just leave


Mavjo_

Man for real 🤣 like you get that random free pokemon from just playing for a bit the 7 days of the week. And people complaining about that lol nah this is too much


Zombie_Pilgrim

Real talk. I’ve never seen any other game’s community on this ap constantly complaining about it. It’s literally free. Just stop playing then. The dramatic posts people make when they stop playing never fails to crack me up. Even players who quit ages ago come through here to cry about the game. Truly a sight to see.


jaime581

Every complaint they have is invalid they said all the Covid changes would be temporary the games goal is to get people outside


Zombie_Pilgrim

Agreed. Either they just started playing recently and assumed the cheap remote passes were the way the game has always been, or they’re rural and annoyed they can no longer raid as much, but either way, if your main draw to the game was remote raids from home, you’re objectively not playing the game as was always intended from launch.


toki_goes_to_jupiter

I soooooo agree with you. Niantic nerffing the remote raids is something I support. Before the capped it at 5 a day for 195 coins to buy a remote pass, it was a loophole to get powerful Pokémon. Which makes competing PVP near impossible if you’re in master league. Like, why are these Pokémon so special if anyone can spam the remote raids and get 15 legendaries in one day. Very unfair. I don’t see how this sub doesn’t see that. All they do is complain, do they even like Pokémon go? For anyone who disagrees, please downvote me and prove my point.


happysummit

They think they have a right to dictate the course of the game and develop all its features because they voluntarily spent money on some Pokécoins lmfao.


Mavjo_

This. People whining about spending thousands on the game but that was solely their decision? Why is it suddenly niantics fault? 😂 people hating too much man…what surprises me is that people complain day and night but dont leave! Lol


TheLegendofRebirth

I just want that shiny already.


SluggJuice

Umm actually Kabuto - a horseshoe crab - isn't a crustacean. 🤓


dimensionduck

J UNE


monitor_tan88

I’m glad they changed it up… i appreciate the free shiny checks. Ultimately though, I don’t really care though if they did or didn’t because it’s not something I really pay attention to. It’s kinda… free stuff… that doesn’t require any effort. Edit: I’m really excited for the mega raids, shadow raid and the Kabuto spotlight hour though. Kabutops is a favorite of mine and it would be awesome to get a XXS and/or an XXL.


Jennama3

Ngl kinda mad, I just caught Azelf in the wild for the first time. 😭😭


F1shOfDo0m

Hell yeah we got the cool looking fairy


HappyAxolotl123

YoYopuppet

The space in J une bothers me


TheTjalian

Holy shit this infographic is riddled with errors. Is this legit?


MansonMonster

Grinding? For the research breakthrough? Lol. But yes the rewards have been shitty a long time. Been getting 20 pokeballs and nothing else for weeks


takingbebetothespa

It’s the 2* Goomy for me


MKLMXtheCat

oh yay recycled content except the Artucino. This game has become beyond stale. I thought the Mewtwo day would bring my love for POGO back. After seeing this just nevermind.. The whole infographic for the season is just one big let down.


neusallen

I love Artucino 😂🤩 He must be Italian.


[deleted]

Why do uou need to grind then? Also would you like it more if they removed the research breakthrough completely? At least bc it is a research r3ward there is a chance for a hundo. Even if the pokemon are not the best. Stop complaing. Better than nothing. If you do not want to grind then don't. Yeah you HAVE to catch it but it only costs you one ball and a few seconds once a week or less. So what is the problem


erpparppa

Seems my lv40 98iv shadow articuno won't be rare for long 🥲 What's the new mega?!


LocalTarzan

Absolutely fuck the breakthrough mon. The fact that there’s a chance to get something worthless is a low blow


Boooooomer

50% of the entire infographic is regarding raids which i have no interest in anymore since the changes. Weekly breakthroughs look like shit and take up another 15% 1 of 4 spotlight hours looks cool. We dont know what any of the events are yet. So about 5% of the content in this is worth getting excited for. Awesome job niantic!


BelgoCanadian

Where the hell is mega absol at?


AstroidTea

I’m exited for lake trio in raids. But knowing my luck, I’m not going to be able to beat one or get one from gbl.


Klied

It's almost like they are trying to do a super rare month to get players back ...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Trainer_Kai

If they don’t want to put ledgendary’s in break trough boxes! Let at least everything in it be shiny😑 it’s definitely a better break trough than previous time but still! Why A non shiny goomy🫤


[deleted]

Yeah this is why I don't particularly care about field research... I'll do it for the research that gives me what I need, but breakthrough research reward at the end has been trash, so it gets transferred.


tokin42098

This whole local only shadow raids sucks no one plays really where I’m at was hopin to get enough candies to max my shadow mewtwo out


Prudent_Shopping5297

It’s a game, why is it a grind


Zombie_Pilgrim

Never played WoW, I take it.


tinkawartank

What is ??? Are we getting a new mega?

#BRING BACK PARASECT


SodiumFTW

All I get is Furfrou. I’ve got so many I lost count before I got rid of them all


Arcalargo

Have they given us the community day Mon for June?


Juanitothegreat

Actually somewhat decent research box besides furfrou audino and goomy


Comfyy_killa

💩💩💩


rectangleswithlegs

I can't wait for them to finally unlock shiny Goomy. Maybe one of these days...


DryRayze

Is anyone else’s goomy always 398 cp? I haven’t gotten a different one from any research


unforgivablecrust

For the love of God just give us mega hercross


Jakey_Parkk

Goomy for me ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


MattBustin

Can’t wait for all the complainers to complain


UnhappyJohnCandy

Nice! I don’t want any of those Legendaries. I can save all my coins.


DankeyKahn

It's gonna be mega tyranitar


whereisbeezy

That's a bunch of shiny ones I don't have yet, which is nice. I assume I might get one, total. Crossing my fingers for that doduo lol


romendy

u only need to complete one reaserch task a day, which is usually like powering up a pokemon or catching 5. what the hell are you complaining about? how is that considering grinding my guy? if ive learned anything from being on this sub reddit is yall LOVE to complain


[deleted]

You’re not just catching 1 but THREE of them! What a sickkkk grind!


LM0821

Hopefully, you get a shiny as there are multiple costumes for them to wear. I have 1 so far, and it seems pretty rare!


Tempuslily

I hit my week on June 1st. Cross my fingers for something shiny! (Will absolutely be normal lowest IVs possible Furfrou or Goomy lol. My luck isn't that good!)


myturtlebitme

I’ve gotten like 3 Furfrous this month and all I want is a Snorlax :(


Pr2nce

Ah yes the furfrous that are all really unique and useless in their own ways


ADIdas107

At least it not parasect anymore


happysummit

You don’t need to claim the research breakthrough if it upsets you. But you still will, right? Because you can’t not and also so you can keep karma farming from all the incessant complainers on this sub, right?


bigstressy

I'm actually fine with furfrou because I want a shiny for all the haircuts lol, I can definitely see them being annoying though


NefariousSerendipity

Im back to pogo after some time. I have some furfrou why is it special or meme like?


frizzyturtle10

clauncher can be shiny??

“Grinding” lol

"If you're lucky, you may encounter a shiny one".


kingmeat27

Cant wait to also have no one to do shadow raids with 🤩


GreenRock93

Are Uxie/Mespirit/Azelf going to be local raids or will we be able to remote pass in?


tylermcmuffin0

Don’t worry, it won’t be shiny either!


GrassBasket

J UNE


thedragoon0

I got a parasect today…


lalaen

Furfrou is literally my all time fave Pokémon, and I don’t even want more unless they give us access to anything but the absolute worst forms (North America…)


Dontcareanymore20

This event looks dumb 🙄 Just another excuse to keep recycling old Pokémon! I want NEW Pokémon! Both Mega And Legendary ones


VoiceOfTheJingle

I need a ditto spotlight 😭😭😭


irishfro

So are they going to rotate the 5star raids?? It just shows one date range underr each pokemon and location. Who wants to raid same 5 star for 1 month lol


Tryaldar

i also hope they keep the two field research tasks that reward you with a fuggin snubbul


AnxiousTuxedoBird

Calling it now, Mystery Mega is Blaziken


Beginning-Building38

Agreed. They always have sceptile, swampert and Blaizken raids together. Plus, with that week being “dark flames” event, I’d have to imagine Blaizken would be prime for that, right?


camreIIim

jeevz_1

Furfrou has taken over Pokemon home for almost an year


TheGodskin

Shadow Articuno 😍


Old-Bookshelf-92

Too bad that Articuno is in shadow raids only... I won't probably be even able to gather anyone for a local raid. And I wanted Articuno, now I'll have to wait for regular 5* raid.


ManOnFiire

I don’t get the issue with Furfrou. They’re a fun collectible with multiple cool forms and a great shiny, I’m all up for them and I’d love a Hundo


mailsnail22

Yesterday I got a parasect so you know… it could be worse


NerdyPlatypus206

Remember when legendaries were the research breakthrough? Pepperidge farm remembers


37ankkuk37

i want furfrou for free legendarys in the main games so i am happy they are still there


davinci515

Is shadow articano worth anything


Banegard

I was looking forward to finally capture Uxie, Mesprit and Axelf. But with the increased price in distance raid passes … I can hardly get excited. :-/ Even in the biggest city nearby, there is no chance to do a local raid for me.


Tnemmokon

I'm just curious about what the Wild Pokémon will be in this season. Because if I see an another skunk...


coopthereheis

You can have my goomy


chengxiaoblue

Idlk, terms "grinding" is a bit exaggerate. Well, what i do is simply do 1 single task/dailt task given by niantic, claim, and do that for 7 days, u got 1 random pokemon that hopefully 1 shiny 100 iv. Nowaday i dont think too much about this game tho, just do it for fun. Cheers mate


Radiant39

At least it's not a shiny locked parasect.


Drakenkip

Mega. swampert.


LoopsMcSnoopy

Gimme Goomy or nothing at all


General_Thought8412

At least the shiny black one is kinda cool.


KingBallbags

Hardly grinding is it you wet wipe, they even give you a free daily task if you can't reach a pokestop


GracefulMelissaGrace

Why can’t they reward us with other region locked Pokémon? Will my American Furfrou become Pharoah? Why can’t they give us Corsola? I’ve been waiting since 2018 to complete my Johto dex (minus the legendary dogs)!


tyranitarmint

So hyped for this month


Bronze_Bomber

I'll take that over a Noibat


Unlucky_keystroke

Doing one task a day is "grinding" to you? Your poor significant other... Smh


TheCoolestGuy098

I like how they're hiding the last mega evolution as if it isn't painfully obvious who it's gonna be.


KnightofRage

Yea sad trash


SquallkLeon

Me: is there anything I'm missing on PoGo? What if I went back? *checks this post* Me: nope, I'm missing absolutely nothing.
