Still need to get a few of the babies, so I guess I'll keep going for the 7ks. it's very irritating, during the event there were few people on my Discord who really wanted to do trades for the distance miles, so I did as many of the seven eggs from international goons as I could, but suddenly none of them are up to trade any garbage Pokemon for them.

I'm hoping this teased Hoenn event is real, and includes a shot at shiny Groudon. We're decked out enough to trio it and do a whole bunch of them.

Same, and nothing new out of them. I did find a Skorupi taking my dog out for a 10pm walk though, so that was nice, partly makes up for the Croagunk I saw but couldn't catch because the UI is stupid and lets so many thing stack on top of each other you have to peel them back like an onion, but traffic lights don't wait that long.

Every single egg event always has a 100% chance of being idiotic. During the event where they put regionals into 7ks, everyone went ape over it, but then realized they had like a 2% chance of hatching one. All these events are to get you to buy incus by putting new/rare pokes in eggs as a tiny %.

That said, gently caress Trapinch. I think every single 10k I've gotten in the past few months has been one.

No, Slakoth is bleh, Slaking isn't useful at all. Bagon, Riolu, and shiny Shinx are the best options to hatch.

Slakoth is a rare spawn and will eventually get a community day moveset. Also it has one of the highest CP in the game. Isn't Bagon just a weaker ver of Dragonite? Maybe it will get a different CD move.

You can get decent IV shinx reliably from 1 star raids. I'd honestly always rather hatch the Slakoth.

I don't see a lot of Slakoth but I see more than enough. And considering I still have 70 candy to go for my Luxray and I've only hatched a single Riolu, I'd rather get one of those.

Yeah, I see probably 3-5 Slakoths in any given week, and see about 0-1 Bagons any given month. Slaking has a deceptively high CP, because it's got huge attack, but it does almost no damage because its fast move is so useless. It's just another 'mon for Machamps to tear through after a Blissey.

Yup, the advantage of only coming back to the game recently is every event is a new opportunity to catch some new blokes.

Slakoth is worse than snorlax in every way and if it gets a community day move, it will be a charge move, so it won’t really be better than it is now, just different. They’ll never take away yawn.

Because the entirety of Slaking’s thing is that instead of attacking every 2nd turn, the fast move does minimal damage.
