  • Clobbopus eggs: 150

I gave up on Wooloo after a few eggs because the game got too boring for me (and I got Witcher 3 for christmas so my choice was easy)

Yeah, I don’t play it as much as I used to, but I still put in an hour or so on most days. lol

A new update came out for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 too though, so I have been playing that a lot more. I also bought Divinity 3, sooooo … my gaming time is now split three ways. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, apparently after I just grinded for one, there is an event where Magikarp is now appearing more frequently in raids with a heightened shiny chance. lol

… and of course I just got a shiny Magikarp in a raid. So glad that I grinded through 600+ of them to get my previous shiny. :rofl:

I have 4 Ultra shiny Magikarp. Then I stopped hunting them. I also got a 6 IV shiny Gmax Charizard! But the mon I was hunting for still isn’t shiny yet after 800 eggs. :frowning:
