I don’t know the numbers, @Mew1, but it sure _felt_ like the catch rate was higher. ---

When I first read about the event I thought “this sounds fun… at least a bit…” but then it started. They could just have kept the normal spawn rates of Mr.Mime and it would still have been a pest… I guess I’ll just shiny check everything that’s available, let my Pokéball+ do the catching and do some quests until it ends. The raid bosses are ok, but not the whooping ones we had hoped for. ---

I never said so ?! What I tried to say is: I’ll shiny check everything around where the shiny is available. Psyduck, Aipom, Mankey, Cubone,… you name it… ---

So far it looks like one detective Pikachu a day. I’ll just hatch eggs between photobombs chances. ---

There were mentions of wild spawns, but those were mostly related to the big photobomb bugs. ---

Nice catch with the Charizard, @Mew1. Raid boss or wild? Caught 2 wild Flareon this evening - 1. level 16, CP 1356, IV 84, with Fire Spin and Overheat 2. level 32, CP 2600, IV 79, with Ember and Flamethrower And a shiny Aipom. Couldn’t interest anybody in joining a Snorlax raid, but did raid a decent (91 IV) Azelf. ---
