I wouldn’t bet on it, at least not anytime soon. As has been the schedule since Shiny Gible released, it looks like the Shiny gets released on GO Fest and the Community Day will be the next year in June. Which means, June 2024 will get Goomy, and then in June 2025 we will probably have Jangmo-o, so Frigibax will see a Community Day in 2026 at its soonest, and even then they might just do Dreepy first pushing Frigibax even further away, to June 2027.
Though I am not much interested in him right now, as Niantic usually do not provide optimal movesets during new releases, so next year he might get some movesets !!
I am hoping for more Paldean releases as many Pokemon there are bulky, so they suit me for GBL purposes !!
You can, although very unlikely, catch a Gimmighoul from a Stop with a Golden Lure on. Even if you do not own a PS/PV copy. It’s more realistic to expect getting none of them, though.
Sigh. No expectation of ever maxing my Melmetal, either. It was nice to get a few Carnivines in gofest, considering its regionality. Maybe gofest 2042 will let us get Gimmighoul some other way.
After reaching rank 20 or above, even if we finish a set without winning, we get 2500 Stardust. But if win the set completely, we get 1500+2500+5000 = 9000 Stardust !!
No paid research for me. After the big ripoff (unpaid acct got double the Shiny paid acct did) paying for a GoFest ticket once I refuse to pay for “new or exclusive Pokémon again”
I haven’t seen a Klevor Raid so far either.
Drove 200km after work Saturday afternoon/night booking a room before I left at the town hotel for the night. Intention was to do a heap of Kartana Raids Sunday and use the Junk ones for distance Trading.
Not one Kartana Raids Saturday night before the Raid Curfew cut in. Hardly saw a Kartana Raid in my first 3 hours Sunday morning (8:30-11:30) in each of the 2 towns that have 20+ Gyms. Gyms we’re overrun with low Tier Shadow rubbish I had no interest in (not even for the MasterBall research). Spent that idle time completing off research tasks then the new stuff started spawning (wasn’t aware they were being released that day) so spent all day catch new monsters doing a Raid or two but nowhere near as I was intending.
Have heaps of XL distance Trade Junk again now the 1XL bonus has finished. I just need to make time to Trade to get bag space back before Grubbin CD.
