Current Events > Pokemon Go Fest is this weekend

(+) Yeah! (+)

I already got this guy

---

Its a different experience

I think its fun even though I play it kinda passively

---

I haven't played since early March

---

At least this year they don't have a live stage that bottles can get thrown on.

---

Since theres obviously no live event, what are they doing

---

Well this is lucky as FUCK

---

bro i just got ANOTHER shiny A-Marowak

The first shiny was my first time catching this pokemon too

---

I lost interest in playing on their time. I just randomly turn it on now when walking and bored. Just played it for the first time in a couple months, the other day. I think I'm done getting all the special shit now, exhausted.

---

I've seen some the finest chicks my city has to offer on that shit. Wish I used it more strategically tbh.

---

I haven't seen my friends since March, and today was the first time I got to see one of them in person (the other 2 I usually play with are quarantining after taking a trip to Florida in the past 2 weeks...)

---

I finally did my first raid. Havent seen any shiny yet.

---

Hoping tomorrow runs a little more smoothly

---

I got a go fest ticket. Got about 9 shinies from it.

Rip, I got like 30 something.

---

I got a shiny Squirtle with Pika hat, that's it. Had a lot of fun playing again though, might get back into it. Good excuse to get out and walk at least.

Pokemon

Go

To

The

Polls

New Pokemon for me:
-Giratina
-Dialga
-Palkia
-Rotom
-Durant
-Zangoose
-Victini
-Alolan Marowak (not technically a "new" pokedex entry, just a new form)
-Unown
-Mewtwo

Shinies:
-Alolan Muk
-Alolan Exeggutor x2
-Heatmor
-Shiftry
-Tangrowth
-Hypno (traded my girlfriend one of my duplicate shinies for this one)
-Unown-G

Good fun. There were a shit ton of people playing at the Mall of America, as I expected. Basically anyone who wasn't a parent pushing a child in a stroller was playing PoGo.

---

Think for me the best part was largely all the extra candy. 2x candy for Litwick and Darmanitan was great. Extra Gible candy didn't hurt either. Did much better searching on day 2 for other stuff as well

---

^ Yeah a while before this event I spent like two straight months with gible as my buddy to rack up the candy, RIP

---

I already have Garchomp. Been working on Deino so Im excited for Dragon week (though knowing Niantic Im just going to get lame batches)

I thought they already wrote them out on the blog, including shiny deino possibility

• The following Pokmon will be appearing more frequently in the wild: Alolan Exeggutor, Horsea, Dratini, Trapinch, Swablu, and Bagon. If youre lucky, you might find a Gible!
• The following Pokmon will be hatching from 7 km Eggs: Horsea, Dratini, Trapinch, Swablu, and Bagon. Gible and Deino will also be hatching from 7 km Eggs, but only if youre lucky!
• Rayquaza will be in five-star raids.
• Complete the Timed Research this week for a chance to encounter not one, but two Deino! This Timed Research will be available from Friday, July 31, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. to Friday, August 7, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. PDT (GMT 7).
• If youre lucky, you might find a Shiny Deino!

Yes Im saying the gold hatches are going to be stupidly rare and Im going to miss them. Like Unown week (which was compounded by the fact my car was in the shop that week too). Where I still managed to hatch a ton of eggs and no Unown. Getting 2 shiny ones from Go Fest feels like payback now

---

Also did they say if we successfully "got" all three ultra weeks?

---

We unlocked them of Day 1 of Gofest. I think the fact that anyone could get a ticket was a boon tbh
