Looks like an interesting event to me. I still need a bunch of shinies from the wild spawn list so I’ll try to get at least one of them.

I need to think about this one a bit more as to where it sits as I like the one just finished so much.

The Stardust bonus is 1.5x :expressionless:. For hatch. :pensive:

Hard to contain the excitement factor for that… :sleeping:

Will still probably play a little during the event, though. There are several shinies in the spawn list that I still haven’t gotten, yet.

Why didn’t they add Flabébé to the spawn pool? I still need many candies to evolve the entire family of each available color.

(wow… I have evolved exactly zero flabby babes of any color, yet)

How did you got different region-specific colors of Flabebe ?

Red is more common Flabébé and orange and white are rare. I don’t have blue and yellow Flabébé because they don’t spawn here. White and orange Flabébé can spawn everywhere.

Flabby family is one of my faves… sadly, I don’t have the blue iteration… yet… :airplane: :ferry: :steam_locomotive: :thinking:

The only one I’m missing is the Blue Flabby, haven’t evolved a single one yet though.

I don’t have Red.
I haven’t evolved any yet.

I got around to evolving my lucky flabby babe into a floette. But to evolve the next step, I have to make it my Buddy and complete a field research task?

Oh, Golf Tango Hotel, PoGO.

Everything is possible…

Do not ask me why the first post is randomly set to the year 239, I have no idea. I don’t recall having created the thread back then, but maybe my mind isn’t that great.

Great minds don’t think about the time around them…
