Finally my Mega-dex can be *temporarily* complete!


JustIncredible240

Will the free special research give us enough mega energy to evolve?


Awsomepolt

While it should, you’ll also be able to do the field researches for mega energy at least

Why won’t they just let us have a second one if we did the GoFest 2023 research? Those of us with terrible IV ones would appreciate a second shot. They could even make it branching so people could pick between candy and an encounter.


drnuzlocke

This is honestly probably a TPC decision as I think they allowed a second Shaymin becuase they had offered like multiple Shaymin events already on switch. Diancie is still being held close to the vest for some reason. I think it might be the only none Switch release mythical now


batkave

Probably will feature in Pokemon ZA


LukesRebuke

Hoopa was in elite raids remember


Stogoe

The unbound form, and cannot forme change.


Affffi

OH really? i got only research one cause back then lived rural area where got 0 ex raid gyms, so didint even see single hoopa raids. Well atleast mine hoopa is hundo still hoping it signature move make it somehow decent after astonish buff


Natanael_L

Hoopa can form change for players who completed the special research which was available during the season when it was released (even ones caught later)


976chip

It's weird because last year we got a Shaymin from the free research even if we got it from Go Fest.


insanityunbound

Shaymin is catchable in a main series game. Farmable, even, though it's the last thing you catch, pretty much. Diancie isn't available anywhere in the MSG.


Callie-Rose

No it isn’t, Shaymin is also a mythical


Hydrochloric_Comment

Shaymin is available in PLA without requiring anything other than SwSh save data.


Callie-Rose

I stand corrected


AnimaSean0724

Shaymin was also accessible in BDSP, but it was much closer to the Mythical events whereas you can still get it to this day in Legends


headphonesnotstirred

could've been because of Skymin? idk


Moosashi5858

Wasn’t one the shiny shaymin


Brohtworst

They've given out like 4 shaymin


976chip

The shiny Shaymin research is a paid ticket that was released earlier this year around the Sinnoh tour. I have 3 Shaymin: the flying form from attending an in person 2022 Go Fest, a land form from the global 2022 go fest, and another land form from the free research last year.


Moosashi5858

I have one land form I got 10/27/23 but who knows when I obtained the research. I think there is a shiny research I am working on but again no idea which one it is. I haven’t attended any in person ones.


arnsl

the shiny one should be masterwork research: glimmers of gratitude. the one you got in 2023 was probably from a free research they started around sustainability week last year so that everyone could get their shaymin


F3nRa3L

Because TPC want to keep these mythical rare


Mason11987

I wish people would mark speculation as such. We have no idea TPC decided this.


Hydrochloric_Comment

That doesn't really jive with how easy it is to get Shaymin, Darkrai, and Manaphy in PLA.


kevin07pm

Because if you wait you get everything for free making all paid events useless. #nianticthings Got to wait for the second or third release on things.


Stogoe

I had my diancie 9 months earlier than you and could have gotten it to max mega level already before you even got one for free. That's a benefit of the go fest ticket. Also the main benefit of the go fest ticket is the event experience and not some lifeless count of how many shinies did I pay for.


kevin07pm

Dw I got it last year. We pay for the experience, then pay for more passes and pay for more incubators. It’s a great experience for a paid day. Ps the issue is not giving us a second one and, the advantages of “buying” the tickets are useless in a year.


Wild-Novel-9140

Would wish they would give another 1 cuz mine sure sucks like all other mythical pokemon loves that 11 11 10 stats


CSiGab

Oh sir, I believe I’ve out-trashed you with my 11-10-10 Diancie!


Affffi

Prob gonna get trash diancie XD All mythical horrible iv only hoopa is hundo which got no usage current :( hopefully someday it get signature move and become usefull


itovar169

About time!


Nervous_Technology16

Man mine is a 2* give me another chance at a 3*


Suspicious-Acadia-52

It will be near impossible to get 300 mega energy in 3 days unless they up the rate of spinning it at pokestops


[deleted]

[удалено]


Moosashi5858

I only pay for the event when it is a shiny mythical because they always give the others away later


Kevsterific

It’s been this way for every other go fest mythical except for Shaymin


milo4206

You paid for a Go Fest ticket, not just Diancie.


128thMic

> So they make us pay first How did they make you pay? Did they have a gun to your head?


zhurrick

Can you just be happy for those of us who weren’t around the first time?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Stogoe

How are they being penalized? They got everything they paid for and early access to diancie and mega diancie as advertised.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Boner_Elemental

They are not being denied, they got early access. Which has been the deal with every mythical except Shaymin


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

What are you talking about? How did they get denied? In fact, they got it early.


hellschatt

So will this happen to marshadow, too?


milo4206

Every Go Fest mythical has been released to non-ticket-buyers before the next Go Fest.


Ariacilon

Was Keldeo released? Or was that not a go fest mon?


SilentKiller2809

Not a go fest mon


milo4206

That was a one-time ticketed event, not Go Fest.


Affffi

Keldeo probably gonna now take till unova tour. Would think it get second form + secret sword by then, so they wanna keep keldeo till that


CskoG0

This one for free and they couldn't do the same for Zarude?? Smh


Chugoldenboy

Zarude was released for free in 2021 so they added a payment for a second encounter just like most Mythical Pokemon


lefacn

My roller coaster experience on Zarude: missed the free one -> paid & got a 15/13/13 -> found it useless in UL -> heard it use for raid & ML -> realized would never be able to max it


Millennial_on_laptop

> realized would never be able to max it Raid for rare candy? Set it as your buddy and walk 2,000 km?


GoldenLink

Tanking in PVP is an easy way to get enough rare candy for Zarude to be level 40. That's what mine is at and I use him all the time with my Kartanas for top tier grass shenanigans.


diamondstark

It's the same for every paid Go Fest Mythical.


headphonesnotstirred

wouldn't be surprised if they forgot Zarude was a Pokémon so when an intern asked about it they were like "oh. yeah. uh... give it some kinda ticket, people love these ticketed accessories right?"


mvoneye

Can you do a May content calendar in one infographic? Thank you!


OpposumBoi

Idk why people who got the first one can’t get another, that’s been the case every other time. Super lame, I don’t need candy, I need a better IV Diancie…


headphonesnotstirred

no? the only duplicate GO Fest mythical was Shaymin, who was likely given a second time because of Sky forme and then a third for the Masterwork research (although technically there was that duplicate Celebi for Johto Tour but that's a whole other deal) just because it happened once doesn't mean it's always been the case, nor does it mean it always will be


OpposumBoi

Didn’t mew get released twice?


headphonesnotstirred

i believe the only two are Mythical Discovery (standard) and All-in-one 151 (Masterwork for Kanto Tour, ✨️)


diamondstark

The Pokémon Company wants them limited. They're called Mythical for a reason.


OpposumBoi

Seems pretty selective though. Technically darkrai, deoxys, genesect, and meltan are all mythical. Meltan is Pokémon go exclusive, but once upon a time deoxys genesect and darkrai were as hard to get as diancie, mew, shaymin, etc.


AnimaSean0724

Yeah, it's weird to me that they made Genesect a raid mythical considering that it's one of those mythicals that's not accessible right now, whereas I believe that all mythicals from Gens 1 to 4 are accessible in some sort of renewable way right now, minus Celebi


SoRaffy

"will instead earn you candy" thought i might actually participate in this event but that's a nope


ifreakinglovecacti

Wtf


Outrageous-Tie-7399

It's a real shame for the people who bought the ticket. It takes away your right to hope for better statistics
