tfw you almost head out two hours early like a scrub because you thought Go's Water Festival ran on local time zones like the community days do
You only need 3 right?Still looking for Whismurs...

OMG, yes. My attention span, everybody... In the time it took to switch apps between checking the game and writing on the forum, I misremembered the numbers.You only need 3 right?
I went out exploring the other day and found two at a sketchy part of town lmao.Still looking for Whismurs...

Let’s GO!

Two months of flower crown eevee is probably the worst research breakthrough this game has ever had. Even with the shiny chance this is insanely disappointing. And right when I go back to college (where I can complete research tasks again) too. Rip.Flower-crowned Eevee is back!
I will say that the Sylveon Eeveelution can be helpful.Lol even Shedinja was better than this garbage. How unfortunate - at least the Ultra Bonuses will hold us over for some time.
Anyways, this is mostly speculation, but I am happy for the flower crown Eevee, as I do expect Female Flower Crown Shiny Eevee to be a perfect Sylveon in both look, and flavor because Sylveon is a feminine Eeveelution, similar to Espeon, and Glaceon, while Umbreon, Leafeon, and Jolteon seem more masculine. Vaporeon, and Flareon could go either way. Shiny Sylveon may be blue, but it’s still feminine, and has pink strands.
Disagree, actually, I prefer this over that thing that is literally useless in everything. At least the Vees can be usable to a degree.Lol even Shedinja was better than this garbage. How unfortunate - at least the Ultra Bonuses will hold us over for some time.
It’s about public perception. Similar to people preferring a Leafeon with the flower crown, because it’s a grass type, or a female shiny Vaporeon bc it’s magenta, and preferring male blue regular Vaporeons.
Every time I hear stuff like this I'm reminded of how much I appreciate the site-wide policy change to use exclusively "it" pronouns in analyses and articles. I'll have you know that my male Primarina in Ultra Sun is my best boy, and my eventual Go incarnation will be respected similarly.
I seem to always even forget my Primarina Aquarius in Moon is male (then again, USun's Symphonia is female).

Do you prefer it now that it's confirmed that there are no wild Eevee in the game except those from the breakthrough reward?Disagree, actually, I prefer this over that thing that is literally useless in everything. At least the Vees can be usable to a degree.
But this for 2 months is really insulting. Even worse, this comes without any Pokemon Day for the vees. Eevee Day is on Nov 21, well outside the window.
Nothing at the moment. I’ll update if theres any news.Anyway, now that we're nearing the rotation of EX Raid, any news with Deoxys? I'm expecting Psycho Boost to be made legacy like M2 SBall, and buffed properly.
That was the part I didn't know yesterday. This... is arguably worse now. While Shedinja basically amounts to useless, at least it does not alter the spawns, not like this. This isn't even a fair equivalent exchange.Do you prefer it now that it's confirmed that there are no wild Eevee in the game except those from the breakthrough reward?
Enjoy your lack of Eevee for 2 months bc you get <10 catches for them. Depriving new players of these budget options because of a stupid costume variant that has 0 reason to even be a 7 day reward. It's just flat-out insulting tbh.
Nah they have done random buffs, like Sky Attack going to 80 Power during a Lugia event or the moveset changes or Doom Desire -before- Jirachi’s release. I also recall a stray CD move or two (Blast Burn and Hydro Cannon). Blaze Kick also changed.Nothing at the moment. I’ll update if theres any news.
And I can’t wait for Psycho Boost to be boosted (get the pun there?), unfortunately Niantic has never boosted/buffed moves before (I think?) so I doubt they will do it now.
Agreed. It was dumb back in the day of Pokemon Shuffle, and it's even dumber they're going with it for Pikachu and Eevee for Go.Pokémon costumes are the worst invention since Eevee.
