I looked up a raid spawn map and have been grinding out raids with Wishing Pieces for max raids. I’m trying to land all the G-Max versions, but man … some of them are so rare!

Buttterfree is obviously popping up constantly and since I have Shield, I’m inundated with Centiskorch and Corviknight, but the non-event ones? A Max Raid only has a 5% chance of popping up with a Wishing Piece, and then it’s a 5% chance after THAT for a G-Max form.

G-Max locations:

Den spawns:

Left column are normal raids, right column are max raids.

I like this generation. I only don’t like Morgrem and Grimmsnarl and I don’t like what they’ve done to fossil Pokemon.

Yeah, I pretty much dig this gen too. There aren’t that many that I dislike or hate.

Dislike: Blipbug, Dracovish, Arctovish, and Galarian Mr. Mime

Hate: Appletun, Duralodon, Morgrem, Greedunt, Arctozolt, and Dracozolt.

Everything else is either OK, I like it, or love it. Amusingly enough, the fossils make up a large portion of this list. :rofl:

I dislike the fossils, the evolutions of Scorbunny, Sobble with its evolutions, Eiscue and the evolutions of Impidimp. Not sure if there are more new Pokémon I dislike.

Evolution of Eiscue?

I mean Eiscue itself. Unless you mean that ice cube head penguin has an evolved form, too…

It doesn’t, there are just two forms of it

I initially hated Eiscue, but it grew on me a little. I think it’s expression when you knock of it’s ice cube is hilarious.

That only elevates it to the “It’s OK” tier though.

Hatched a shiny Nickit. It’s a silvery color. lol

I’ve been shiny hunting for the last week, no luck, even with the shiny charm. Looks like my shiny luck has also affected PoGO as well.

On another note started Shield last night.

Yeah, I’m pretty surprised at my shiny luck. I always catch/defeat the re-occurring over world spawns and wasn’t shiny hunting when I landed the Machamp.

I’m also randomly breeding Pokemon while hoping a shiny drops in the meantime. The Nickit shiny happened after hatching just 8 eggs. Weird. lol

Nice. I’ve hatched over 130 Rufflets trying to get a shiny (different language Ditto + English Rufflet) and have battled/captured over 300 Snover but no shiny. (Plus battled/captured over 100 Clobbupus, and Snorunts) lol

Dang. And here I just thought the shiny rates were lower! Instead I just had insane luck that probably won’t last. lol

… and Grapploct might be one of my favorite looking shinies of all time. I plan on grinding for a shiny Clobbupus next.
