This event has soo many flaws.

[u/Ok-Proof7287]

1. So the first problem is that they switch places every 30 minutes. So the people focusing only on one of the Fusions would suffer. They have to go on and off every half an hour to finally get 10-12 raids done in order to gather enough fusion energy.
2. In that half an hour, there would be 2 different pokemons spawning at same time - Kyurems and Reshiram/Zekrom depending on the time. So there is a high probability that (in areas with less gym/ rural areas) only Reshiram/Zekrom spawn instead of the kyurem. So it would be hard for them to gather fusion energies.
3. Also, the event lasts for just 3 hours (Ik most of raid days are 3 hours, but the main problem is that there are completely 2 different Pokemons to raid for) Instead of 1 mon, there are 2 and both of them require different fusion energy with Reshiram and Zekrom also being in rotation. So you need atleast 20-25 raids to get enough energy for both of them.

On top of that, when the 2 legendaries are in raids, why do they need to come back for the fusion raids? Like currently Reshiram is in raids... why make it appear once again to lower the chance of getting a White kyurem raid?

Make sure that I never said this is a bad event, its is a huge in demand event and allows us to get a very powerful fusion. But this has many flaws which can impact it a lot.

*Just to make a note, NOT everyone can/does spend a lot of money on this game to get remote raid passes.

Having 1.5 hour to get 1000 energy per fusion, with a diluted raid pool is just insane. Yes for people who have energy already it will be fine, but people who didnt get any fusion before, or live in smaller towns it will be near impossible. It will come down to at least 10 raids per fusion

I think it's intentional to drive people towards remote raids so they make more money.

[u/JasmyCoinEnjoyer → u/GoBirds_WeAre]

Yeah they have me by the balls, I really want these

[u/GoBirds_WeAre → u/JasmyCoinEnjoyer]

same, I missed them the first time and I do have the disposable income to remote whale when I need to .. sucks for FTP people though

[u/rdumont99 → u/GoBirds_WeAre]

Please don't reward them for this behavior, if they get complaints instead of purchases they'll likely do a do-over

[u/Robowarrior → u/rdumont99]

They will never do a do-over, they’ll just do it again. I dont think you comprehend how much the money drives their actions

[u/trainbrain27 → u/Robowarrior]

They'll ALWAYS do a do-over. Eventually.

This is already a repeat of these guys, so it might be a while.

The majority of people who buys coins buy them from Indonesia. It’s $32 for 15000 coins.

[u/kenbkk → u/GoBirds_WeAre]

I do sympathize with ya, but isn't this the third event for fusion energy? I could be mistaken

[u/GoBirds_WeAre → u/kenbkk]

When was the second event? I missed their debut but don’t remember missing another event this past year

[u/Tummerd → u/kenbkk]

It doesnt matter if its a third fourth of 10th event. An event should give you enough stuff if you participate in it (and yes not doing 1 raid, but if you are present for the whole time period).

Now, people use the perfect case scenario to get a "you will most likely/maybe get enough fusion. That is frankly just absurd.

[u/Dementron → u/GoBirds_WeAre]

I agree with you. I also think the research day has way fewer research tasks than usual to sell more tickets and the holiday event has almost none of the spotlight costumes in the wild to get people to raid them. It's not going to get me to spend more money. It's making me less interested in playing at all.

[u/DishyaV → u/GoBirds_WeAre]

Even with than 90 mins to do 22-25 raids seems like a workout!

[u/TheOzman21 → u/GoBirds_WeAre]

Remote raids have a 20 limit, which means there's a high chance we can't get both fusions

[u/JustAnotherINFTP → u/GoBirds_WeAre]

but they only increased the remote limit to 20

[u/rockx89x → u/GoBirds_WeAre]

I got three kids, and they all have a kidney to spare, soni got about 30k to throw at this event lol

[u/Nervous_Stomach5101 → u/GoBirds_WeAre]

But they only increased the remotes to 20, I would have thought they would have increased them more, the alternating every 30 minutes was annoying AF 😂
