Misdreavous can be shiny from the quest reward, forgot what the quest is right now. I think transfer 10 pokemon?

Sandshrew shiny came from the event in Japan right now. afaik there hasn't been a report of a shiny sandshrew outside of Japan yet.

Misdreavus popped up around the community day weekend. Sandshrew is brand new and as far as I know isn't even available outside of Japan yet.

I'm serafaina and the only trading tier I care about is best friends, and I don't really care about it that much, so pop them eggs and open them presents.

I also have three quests involving an excellent throw or excellent curveball throw. I just can't hit inside the drat ring. Any tips?

Find some fat Pokemon to throw things at? Wailmers are the easiest, as well as whatever legendary you get for the weekly reward.

Ponyta are also common and easy to hit. Ursaring is EXTREME CLOSEUP distance but good luck finding one of those in the wild. I always thought it was funny that Ursaring's appearance was like a LOOK OUT A BEAR IS RIGHT THERE kinda thing.

Also most legendaries are good throw practice. Hit it with a nanab berry and then try your luck.

Kangaskhan is how I finished 3 excellent throws in a row the one time I got it, not as easy was Wailmer but a lot more common here. I thought I was going to be able to do it throwing regular pokeballs at Shedinja, but no, he was caught first ball.

Does anyone know when they plan to switch over Volbeat and Illumise? I've already had Seviper-Zangoose-Seviper-Zangoose down here, and Solrock and Lunatone have switched, but those two haven't yet.

Ponyta are my favourites for excellent curve throws. Kangaskhan I like to use for regular excellents and "get three X throws in a row" as they're common as dirt in Australia, have a catch rate that means they never stay in the ball, and have the biggest rings ever. Also, just keep trying to make every curve ball excellent and eventually you will get it. Most excellent curve balls that aren't on a Ponyta/Wailmer/Kanga are ones that I get completely by accident. Your probability of succeeding in the quest tends to 1 as the number of trials approaches infinity.

I suck at excellent throws but oddly enough I seem to hit them on Gulpin all the time. Before that it was always Wailmer

Am I correct in that the legendary you get with each 7-day research reward is randomly assigned? I want a chance for a shiny Articuno but so far I’ve gotten two Suicunes. :/

I've seen 4 since I started this part of the quest, and the last two of them broke out of the first pokeball and ran away.

Articuno and now Moltres from the random 7 day legendary draw, neither shiny sadly.

I'd say if you raid at all, machamp and ttar are pretty free excellent throws especially if you circle lock them because raid bosses attack all the time.

I'm on the special research where you have to catch 2 Omanyte/Kabuto, 2 Lileep/Anorith and an Aerodactyl.

I see maybe one Kabuto every two months, no Omanytes unless it's raining (I'm in CA, so hardly ever), never seen a Lileep, and have only seen an Anorith during the previous event, and Aerodactyl maybe twice ever. This is idiotic.
