Wait, what, there was a research day yesterday?
I didn’t know . Yes I rarely read the pop ups as they always appear when I’m time poor so it’s a skip get out of my way annoyance.
Not that knowing would have changed anything as I was working all day anyway.
That’s interesting reading with how you describe the time constraints of the event making it not so enjoyable @Stridian .
I managed to play for longer in the previous research day, yesterday my time was on the shorter side so I was extra rushing through it, which added to the stress definitely. I still want to give it another go but I’ll set up some “constraints” so I get to enjoy it more! (especially if it’s for a pokemon I like particularly, who knows…)
Fuzzy buddy research day was great. I could only play for an hour and a half, but I still got 4 shinies! Of all the shinies, I needed 1 Pancham to complete the shiny family and I didn’t have any shiny Cubchoo so I needed 2. I spun as many Poke stops as I could and I bought the timed research. I chose Cubchoo of course. I managed to complete all the tasks before the event ended, but I didn’t find any shiny Cubchoo. But then I received another 10 tasks to choose and I chose Cubchoo again. I thought that these tasks would disappear when the event ended but they didn’t! So I did 10 more tasks and finally got not 1 but 2 shiny Cubchoo (second one was on the last task)!
I also got 1 shiny Pancham that I was looking for and Teddiursa. And it was incredible that each shiny had good IVs!
Now that’s what I call a research day!
I didn’t participate in this one.
Tbh I don’t even know what day this was on. Priorities must have been different for me that day.
