They give you a snorlax encounter in the same tier of research. Use regular balls and nanab berries, and hope it doesn't catch on ball 1 or 2.

Apparently Eevee doesn’t spawn in the wild anymore now since their costume system doesn’t allow both regular ones and flower ones to be active at the same time.

That's odd considering they can have Kanto form and Alolan forms spawn simultaneously and coexist. I guess forms and costumes are coded differently which is why we have this shenanigan but it's still poor foresight on Niantic's part.

I mean, you can hatch Unown from 10km eggs this week and next week you can hatch regionals, and we're getting the first Unova Pokemon soon. Considering all of that, I don't mind if the research breakthrough reward kinda sucks right now.

Turning off wild Eevee spawns because of bad code is just silly, though.

"Can". Current going rate across my local discord is 0 for 8 reported, and that's on top of the usual abysmally low drop rate for 10km eggs, so this isn't like Ralts where egg results are guaranteed.

Ahaha as in ONLY Eevee? For some reason I thought it was added to the pool. Welp, just means I don't have to do research stuff for 2 months.

Not only this, but in order to make this bullshit work in Niantic spaghetti code, they had to disable all wild Eevee and remove it from normal research and eggs because it can't instance the flower crown to just the breakthrough for some reason.

So it's literally the only way to get Eevee for the next two months.

You'll all sing a different tune in two months when the next research breakthrough has tasks like 'remove all superfluous if thens from this code block' and 'refactor the poke-indexor to handle list-values of pokemon who share the same pokedex number'

Yeah but also incubator effectiveness is doubled so you can hatch more eggs.

I got an unown from my first 10k of the event; I'm not sure if I got exceedingly lucky or not though. I've only hatched 3 10ks so far.

Lmao I spent actual money to get incubators and clear out my eggs in prep for this to possibly get a uknown (any uknown) just to fill that spot in my Pokédex. This morning picked up 6 5k eggs and 3 2ks. gently caress this lovely game.

I'm equally disappointed because I thought that maybe they'd up the rate of 10k eggs coming out of stops but it doesn't seem so. Worse yet, the only 10k egg I got since this started turned out to be an Aerodactyl and I really want to believe it was gotten sometime before 1pm yesterday and I just forgot, otherwise even getting a 10k egg means Unown are competing with the rest of the 10k egg pool of possible hatches.

This is tangentially related because it is for "buying" incubators with my useless survey credits, does anyone know how to reliably trigger the $1 off Google Play purchase thing? It seems like it happens randomly when I hit cancel but I can't seem to get it to come up again.

You're absolutely right. The special research Eevee rewards also manage not to be flower crowns (jump start, celebii) and yet for whatever reason Eevee isn't spawning in the wild and they changed the "evolve a Pokemon" research a couple hours after the changeover to be Cubone/Pidgey after people on Reddit started posting their flower crowns from normal rear end research.

I'm sure the game can instance it to just breakthrough rewards, but it sure seems like Niantic has no idea how to do it.

15 mins eggs and 90 mins raids is strictly better in theory, but in a game where the only way to get a chance of a lobby is to be there at hatch it's absolutely worser.
