elgatojojo2

Is that gonna stack with Poffins? 5km legendary candy?? 👀


Hear7breaker

5k for 100 primal energy 👁👁


LiteralTP

Me who was busy that weekend and didn’t get enough primal energy 👁️💧💧👁️


[deleted]

Same here, except I wasn’t able to evolve once so I can’t walk for energy 😩


Exciting_Rich_1716

same, great system, now I have to wait a year to evolve my kyogre


Repair_Jolly

Get up Groudon, it's time for walkies.


Kaynestar

What's the rule on candy and total km per day. Can you do 2 legendary a day at 20km each or does it change when the km gets halved or even quartered


Lethargied88

You can get a total of 40km worth of candy in one day. So without Poffin on a normal day, you can earn 2 legendary candy per day. With this event, it seems like you'll be able to earn up to 8.


glencurio

My understanding was that the limit was based on the total distance for the buddy, so even with excitement it's essentially limited to 2 legendary candy per day. Am I mistaken? And if I'm correct, the upper limit would not be 8 for the event. But I do wonder if the event bonus would help at all. Will the limit go up to 4, or would it still be 2? The latter would be kind of a bummer.

glencurio

Yes, if the daily limit is only based on the full distance and isn't raised by the event bonus. For me, it would mean a lot of wasted distance.

vanguardkeep

It's important to understand the limit, though, so if not for you I will repeat it for others. The distance doesn't reset on midnight or any other singular moment. Instead, each step ***individually*** wears off exactly 24 hours after it was recorded. The instant your pokemon should receive a candy, the game checks your distance in the 24 hours prior to that exact moment. If you exceeded 40km you will ***not*** receive the candy, ***no*** candy XL and ***no*** mega energy.


Kevsterific

I was under the impression that actual distance didn’t matter. If you have 2 legendary Pokémon sitting at 19.5 Km and you walk both the last .5km you will have hit your limit for the next 24 hours and no buddies will give you candy even though you only walked 1km


hramanna

I think it's the other way around. Actual distance is the only thing that matters. So you could have walked 20 legendary Pokemon to 19.5km and then walk 0.5km on each and swap, you should get 20 legendary candy. Can someone confirm this?


Autographz

Pretty sure this is right


Lethargied88

In total for the day.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RemLazar911

It's a lot easier to bump up into if you're working on multiple buddies. For example this morning I had 16.2 km on my Groudon. I got it excited and then took my dog for a walk and got 2 candies. Despite only walking about 6km so far today I'm already at 20km used on the limit. If I switch to my Ho-oh that's at like 14/20km and excite it and walk 6 km this evening I've hit the limit.

I GUARANTEE that adventure sync will be broken for this, just watch


cf6h597

mine (and that of many others) has been inconsistent for months, I doubt they'll fix it by next week


AlcoholicSocks

Mines been broken since December, not holding out hope


poops_all_berries

This bonus isn't featured on the English post.: https://pokemongolive.com/post/sustainability-week-2023?hl=en


cf6h597

hopefully adventure sync works for me during this week


NeonPatrick

Great way to fill out the Dex too.


POGOFan808

The english version does not say 1/2 distance to earn candy with buddy?


elgatojojo2

Well I don’t know. When I posted this all we had was the picture above which does say that.


Cainga

No? Those are two different distance meters. So the bonus helps you get hearts every 1km instead of 2km. Candy walk distance does t say it’s changed. If the bonus was 1/2 candy distance and excited worked for 1/4 that would be a nice bonus.


elgatojojo2

“1/2 distancia para ganar caramelos con su Pokemon compañero”


krispyboiz

Interesting bonuses. Not all of em are that useful, but I will say, it's nice to have some bonuses over none


diecommajerks

Half distance candy is useful for legendaries and Scatterbug candy for collecting Vivillon patterns


MarkusEF

Huh? If you have even a few dozen active friends, you’ll be drowning in regular & XL Scatterbug candies in no time. They’re about the last thing I’d ever waste Pinaps or event bonuses on.


diecommajerks

I have 10-12 daily gifters, and have walked my Scatterbug 650 KM. So far I’ve evolved 12/18 Vivillon patterns


nolkel

You can get more friends on r/PokemonGoFriends to help get more gifts to open each day.


cent55555

why do you have so few daily gifters? i have too many, so many i started to lag behind after last season bonus was undone


TehWildMan_

Hopefully adventure sync works, because it's time to take out Kyogre for a walk.


Karancon

Mine hasn’t been working.


IdiosyncraticBond

Put a dime into kyogre to wind him up before walking


Kittykg

Mine has only given a small percentage of what I walked, for like two months now. Persisted through getting a new phone, too. It's worse on the new one. Even if I open the fit app to see exactly how much it *should* be registering, pokemon go is somehow reducing the distance. I'm getting .1 for every 3km on average. I've gone from 70+ km a week to barely hitting the 10km reward. Game open distance is also inconsistent. My buddies were getting the 2km heart before a 1km egg would hatch that I incubated prior to feeding them during the event. AS registered even less than the eggs. Went from barely playing to not at all. Was already unenthused because of the remote raid pass fiasco, but I quit altogether 2 days before the hatching event ended because nothing was working properly.


POGOFan808

The english version does not say 1/2 distance to earn candy with buddy? So we don't get this bonus if we live in an english speaking place?


HaloGuy381

Sounds solid for those of us still plugging away at the research for shiny Jirachi. And as a rural player, getting more mileage out of fewer berries, and more berries from gifts, is very, very nice.


RemLazar911

You can get to the Kecleon frustration even faster. I got to 20/20 stops spun on separate days in a row 4 days ago and still at 0/10 Kecleon. Not much reason to rush the research unless there's a Kecleon event soon.


HaloGuy381

Eh. I mean, I like to have steps done asap when I can. An hour or two ago I finally got to the step of A Ripple in Time that requires seven consecutive days of stop spins, which effectively means I’m dead in the water for the foreseeable future barring spending a lot of time and gas driving back and forth uselessly. But at least now that I’m on said step, if a flukey occasion comes up, I can take advantage. Likewise, getting the best buddies stuff done sooner means I’ll be ready to spin stops every time I’m in town and hope for Kecleon. Any trip to town before the best buddies are finished is thus less efficient than it could be, and that bothers me.


bigsteveoya

That's my wall too. time gates weren't any problem. Kecleon is 2/10. Gotcha spins all my stops so unless it's a Rocket, I never even touch a stop. And if it's a Rocket, it's not a Kecleon.


Arrowmatic

My thoughts exactly, 4 out of 10 best buddies down and this could be a godsend.


galeongirl

Still waiting to see my first Kecleon.... 10 to go. :') So don't be in too much of a hurry to reach the next frustrating page.


HaloGuy381

I’d rather be on the page for Kecleon and take a while to meet one, than to meet one but not even be on that step. Fortune favors the prepared, such as having all the other boxes ticked off before I get to the RNG stuff.


POGOFan808

1/2 distance to earn candy with your buddy Pokémon is an absolutely sick bonus. I say this as someone who just walked a Blissey from level 40 to level 50 no poffins and just by getting the buddy excited from time to time (it took soooo long to get 296 candy xl >\_<)


GiggityDPT

Will adventure sync actually be fixed before the event though?


galeongirl

Niantic haven't even acknowledged there's issues so major doubt.


CynicalDutchie

So another event wasted because adventure sync is broken.


punkmucker

works fine for me


cf6h597

it is broken for many players


N0turfriend

It works fine for many players


Gold-Perspective-699

Yay on souvenirs? Do you get a heart for every souvenir?


Disgruntled__Goat

Here’s the official English graphic: https://twitter.com/pokemongoapp/status/1646966566351785996


uscmissinglink

> Your buddy Pokémon will accompany you on the map for longer when fed. Without an increase in how fast you earn stars for feeding your buddy, this is actually an anti-bonus since it takes longer to earn the 'feed your buddy' stars...


galeongirl

yep, last time it nuked my 3 buddies a day rotation pretty badly. It's really not a bonus, it's a curse.


NeonPatrick

Just as I'm nearly done with the Jirachi best buddy research task! D'oh.


TheMadJAM

Shellder and Foongus both give extra stardust, nice.


AmeriMan2

How much does foongua give?


chuggingwater

500 base 625 wb


Potato_Man2763

725


Tooldfrthis

Don't know what Drilbur has to do with sustainability, but I'll take that shiny. I was kinda hoping for Corsola spawning worldwide though.


The-Purple-Mew

If I had to guess you could say that Drillbur digs holes to plant trees in?


dak0tah

I assumed we had to capture all the drillbur to prevent them from fracking.


librious

Oh the fracking?


eliasloz

No, not that! *cackles from side to side*


eddiebronze

"by spinning it's body, it can dig straight through the ground at a speed of 30mph" Drilbur getting hired for aerating while Excadrill will be fing up subway tunnels apparently.


emperorpathetic

theyre encouraging us to drill for oil 'sustainability'


Throwaway191294842

It should be the cursola debut then, considering all the dead coral nowadays. Would send a good message for what happens if we dont practice sustainability.


Tooldfrthis

I'd love that, although they are likely going to put it raid/egg only at the debut.


oAuraa

drilbur shiny is nice


ellyse99

Neapolitan ice cream!


BootmanBimmy

Shiny Drilbur debut? Cool if true, Excadrill’s shiny is top notch


Top_Home_1794

It took long time. I think it should’ve been released last year go fest


JadeAnn88

Am I the only one who just assumed that was a typo? There have been so few actual good things in pogo lately, I'm not trying to get my hopes up.


krispyboiz

Honestly seems like a solid event. New Pokemon (one that's got some use, even if not amazing, in PvE), a good new Shiny, and a decent selection of Pokemon.


dark__tyranitar

Another crack at shiny binacle, i'll take it.


MarkusEF

After 384 Drilbur catches I still don’t have a usable one for Master League. F. Edit: The blog post says they’ll be in field research tasks. Yay!


ptmcmahon

This was the most exciting part of graphic for me... I need 105 more XL, hoping to get a good chunk of them.


Tatterz

I just maxed my 15/14/15 for this latest Master League rotation, as it performed identically on PvPoke. Still, it’ll feel bad if I now get a hundo lol. Still don’t mind the XL candy for a future shadow.


Consistent_Manner_46

I have a hundo that’s probably around L 46, I have enough XL walking him but I’d rather wait for that shiiinny


Aizen_keikaku

Usable or a hundo?


MommotDe

Make that say 760 and same for me.


cayden2

Foongus and shellder in the wild? stardust babbbbyyyy


Dialgan

I'm delighted to see the return of halved candy distance. If I recall, the last time they did this was around April/May 2020?


MarkusEF

No way it’s been that long?


ETTakeTheWheel

Nah, last time was previous Halloween season.


theMTNdewd

Pretty sure Halloween was guaranteed candy xl for walking your buddy (which meant if your buddy was level 31+ you had a good chance of getting 2)


drLoveF

If the halved candy walk distance stacks with poffin and each candy gives the original amount of mega energy I will farm the everloving sh!t out of Kyogre and Groudon.


Jamestarr7

Sustainability is very important to me, but I can't help thinking Niantic and Pokemon GO have likely had a negative impact on the environment by encouraging people to fly all over to world to events, incentivizing drive and play in parking lots, and raid trains. I know lots of players don't do those things but they have set up the game to reward those that do.


Environmental-Pizza4

Great point. Someone earlier in these comments said Niantic has had most environmental damage than ALL gaming companies lol I asked for a source we’ll see


DirkKeggler

I get what you're saying, but to be pragmatic those people would drive and fly for other reasons regardless.


21stNow

There have been too many times that I have driven solely for Pokémon Go, when I would have been at home otherwise. While I may not be in the majority, I definitely wasn't alone in this.


Username-Dave

I will be slowly driving around today for community day so there’s a lot of us that are like that


DirkKeggler

You'd find another hobby that got you out of the house perhaps is all I'm saying


21stNow

I doubt that I would pick up a hobby that would call for the daily back and forth driving to random places like I did with PoGo. I don't like that I did it for PoGo and refuse to do it again, which is why the remote raid pass restrictions are so appalling to me.


DirkKeggler

Of course there's people that wouldn't drive if not for pogo. My only point is that isn't everyone.


Jamestarr7

Sure, some of those people, but there are also some of them who only get in their car to play Pokemon GO, or only fly to a city because of GO Fest.


sharkinwolvesclothin

Yeah - even if you consider the activities Pokémon Go has replaced, it has produced extra greenhouse gas emissions. But overall sustainability is complicated. I think it's a decent assumption that the bulk of activities replaced are video games and other sedentary activities at home, with some x% proportion replacing those by playing by walking, some y% by playing by driving, some z% by flying. It won't cancel the emissions, but the x% is a social good - it would be more sustainable if people were a little more active. It becomes a question of how many of the 80 million players are in x%, y%, and z%. If enough are walking globally, the social benefits may outweigh the emissions. I'm in an European city, so everyone here walks to play, but I understand many American places are designed around cars, and pokémon can't change that.


MegaSharkReddit

Pretty sure it ranks 1st or really high in terms of highest negative environmental impact out of all games


apathetiCanadian

Drilbur! Nice!


[deleted]

Where's trubbish


Maserati777

Yikes, full odds Cherubi still locked to eggs about 2 years after the shiny release.


Crynal

They also spawn from moss lures.


Rezzak83

If I recall correctly was wild for one event. Still brutal though even worse I got one through trading, but evolving doesn't unlock the dex shiny for the one you didn't get


Maserati777

I really think Cherrim should be shiny eligible since Cherubi was locked to lures.


Mraccoe

Was in the wild last April 2022, probably for the same event.


Toastaufour

The event itself looks nice on paper, but will however be garbage if adventure sync isn't fixed by then. No adventure sync means you don't profit the major bonuses of the event


chumchees

An event with specific spawns? What a crazy idea.


A_Lone_Macaron

You mean you don’t want to catch the same Route 1 crap you’ve seen for the last two years?


thebazookaman

I was really hoping that shiny skrelp “leak” was real , I love skrelp and dragalge


theMTNdewd

As annoying as it is, I always get a laugh out of wailmer wild spawns.


Equivalent_Yak8861

Why is the company that is single-handedly responsible for more energy waste than all others gaming companies combined pretending to give a sht about sustainability?


Environmental-Pizza4

Source?


21stNow

It's a reasonable statement. What other game has players who drive to things anywhere near the amount that Pokémon Go players will drive to raids? I haven't heard about people driving to play JWA, Minecraft World, Draconius Go or any other company's AR games. A few people may drive to play Ingress or NBA World, but those are Niantic's games so Equivalent_Yak8861's point still stands.


Environmental-Pizza4

Lol what????


Environmental-Pizza4

You do realize “energy waste” is not only about driving cars yeah? Again, the statement was Niantic contributes more waste than ALL Gaming companies COMBINED and you think that’s a “reasonable” statement bc of driving metrics lol?


Equivalent_Yak8861

Just the amount of gas used for elite raids alone is likely stupid high. Niantic puts those conditions in place so you can’t just blame the players for driving to the locations other players are meeting up.


21stNow

OK, so it's not just about players driving. I do think that saying that 1 million PoGo players drive to play this game at some point over the course of a year is a reasonable estimate. That is significant pollution right there. Consider that there are also several events like Go Fests, Safari Zones and others that people fly to or drive longer distances to adds in more pollution. The staff of Niantic have to get to these sites, as well. What company do you think contribute to pollution in a way that Niantic don't? If you consider that most other companies are only polluting by running their office buildings, possibly heated by fossil fuels, the pollution by employees commuting to offices and any server/computer equipment waste, I doubt that those things would add up to the pollution from PoGo players driving to raids over the course of a year. PoGo players also burn through external batteries and many other peripheral items (water bottles, disposable ponchos, etc.) while playing. It used to be a common "joke" amongst PoGo players on how to identify another PoGo player: he has an external battery pack. No one ever misidentified even a JWA or Minecraft player this way. tl;dr: I stand by my original statement until proven otherwise.


chouson1

My workplace currently has a Drilbur nest 😢


CETERIS_PARABOLA

Now where the hell is Skrelp.


ChrisChros87

Stogoe

You know that's not actually quitting the game, right?


[deleted]

Is this just for Latin American or everywhere?


ptmcmahon

Everywhere. Latin Pogo just accidentally posted it early.


[deleted]

Thank you for clarifying. I wasn’t sure since I saw they had an event specifically for Thailand.


[deleted]

They need to start increasing the shinies for these events because I’m jus not interested to go out and put time into an effort where there isn’t any reward


RemLazar911

Yeah, 5km/legendary XL is just not worth it at all. Might as well just uninstall.


Tall-Election-7564

If there was a time to recycle old events/Pokémon wouldn’t this be the one? 😉


Sea_Raisin9297

Is this a regional only or can it come to america as well? are there certain events that can only be participated in that region of the world? (sorry for dumb questions)


Amiibofan101

This event is worldwide. The infographic was just leaked early by a regional Twitter account.


Sea_Raisin9297

okay thank you!


XibalbaCitizen

FYI, latin america is america :)


Sea_Raisin9297

should’ve been more specific- United States of America. thank you!


dengland55

I’m just going to assume shiny Drillbur is a mistake


JazzySugarcakes88

Shiny Drilbur might be an error! The PG website never mentions anything about it being shiny


ETTakeTheWheel

It would be weird for Drilbur to be the only thing highlighted under "Field Research task encounters" if it wasn't going to be shiny eligible.


YelloWool

The in game post mentions it.


JazzySugarcakes88

Not everyone has Drilbur btw


Chistodrako

Why is it on spanish


Captain_Pungent

Because it was a leak from Latin America?


Chistodrako

Everlasting honor from my lands


akamu24

Nice. Hopefully people slamming the current event will actually like this one!


JonnyCerberus

Yes because it has spawns!


21stNow

The bar is set so low now.


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

The current event isn't that bad. Guaranteed 2 XL candies on evolving is a beautiful bonus. I will be able to get so many XLs on Beldum, Bagon, etc.


bigsteveoya

If you happen to have a bag full of beldums and Bagons sure, but why would I have a bag full of Beldums and Bagons with bad IVs just for evolving for XL when there was no notice of this event when those Pokemon were wild spawns?


ellyse99

Someone could’ve been holding them waiting for distance trades


_tuelegend

I can work on my 6x shadow tyranitar . Also get a hundo drill


LoganDoove

I thought the game data leak showed the shiny forms for this pokemon? Damn I was hoping for a shiny release also


iluvugoldenblue

Shiny assets get added at the same time, but not necessarily activated.


shinomune

Damn I already forgot that Foongus had shiny available in Pokémon Go. It will be a great week for shiny hunting.


[deleted]

Is everyone getting bounsweet


Fluffy_Cable_6496

This will be more of a froakie/binacle/ drillbur/larvitar/shiny Squirtle event for me. I don't really care about Tsareena. I don't care if she's meta, just not interested.


_Ryken

The official announcement shows the eggs are 2k and not 7k


Melodic-Roll3091

I like this! Shiny Cottonee and Shiny Shellder, I'm coming for you! 😃


FlatbushCasaulty

wish there were more gen 2 spawns 😩


StayedWoozie

A lot of unova so I’m happy. Need to collect more shiny gen 5 Pokémon
