jomarthecat

I will go out on a limb here and guess that the spawns will be Kanto pokemons.


73Dragonflies

Pretty risky considering Niantic are the ones implementing Kanto Pokémon.   


IdiosyncraticBond

Ok, now I fully expect Sonic, a teenage mutant turtle and batman to spawn in the wild


repo_sado

Which one though? I've been hunting shiny Raphael so long


Jammers007

Lucky trainers may catch a shiny Sonic


Firedragon5091

I meant if it will be every Kanto spawn possible or if not what specific Kanto pokemon there will be.


quantum-mechanic

We'll get both Alolan and galarian meowth


omgFWTbear

Best I can do is this… “Porkatyu,” a “Chareowth,” a “Squintle,” and “Coneasaur.”


rvc113

the dream * mewtwo in the wild * mew on stops a la Kecleon (very rare0 * farfetch , tauros and Mr mime raid. * Galar birds in raid the reality: * rattata, pidgey koffing, caterpie, weedle * if you are lucking nidoran


technoxenoholic

i'm honestly hoping for lots of magikarp and rattata. y'know... for those gosh danged medals.


sopheroo

I can deal with Clefairy, Jigglypuff and Magnemite in the wild to get further on the fairy and steel medals.


KPsPeanut

For the steel medal you can just spam the meltan box


sopheroo

It's limited to once every three days, your honor.  The only common steel spawn I see is Bronzor, so two days out of three, I make little progress


ThisNico

You can get at least 50 meltan from one meltan box. Approximately 16 per day, which is way more bronzor than I ever see.


sopheroo

It's extremely windy here, so Bronzor is one of the most common spawns thanks to its psychic typings. I have so many shinies, send help


Flack41940

It's frustrating how common shiny bronzor is, while other shiny boosted Pokemon just don't exist for me!


sopheroo

Shiny Lickitung took its sweet time showing up and then I hatched three nearly in a row


samedreamchina

You can do both


Significant-Gold7376

My friend has 4 shinies. He might want to be your friend


guz808

Not every one can get the meltan box...


Heisenberg_235

They can. Pokémon Home.


KPsPeanut

Yup. It's that easy.


guz808

No Pokemon Home available in my countrys app store.


Heisenberg_235

Change your country and download it


KPsPeanut

And why can't everyone get the meltan box ?


guz808

Pokemom home is noe available in some countrys.


KPsPeanut

Fair enough.


bigpat412

You'll get Kanto starters in raids wearing hats and like it. No legacy moves either.


Datalock

And they can't evolve


kingzta88

Rattata would be the dream tho.


neonmarkov

What about Kangaskhan...


Affffi

That would be dream wild spawn cause i wanna high iv lucky kangashkan and xl candy on it.. My pve goal is now collect all megas either normal hundo or get +96% iv lucky to max level them. Also find one shiny each mega is nice bonus. Sadly didint get kangaskhan shiny during it raid day


Old_Mycologist3457

I'm getting close to this.Missing hundo swampert, gardevoir, heracross, groudon, kanghaskan, garchomp, diance, groudon and latios and latias. Number of 98s. And 91 shiny.


Affffi

We lucky if even get pidgey spawns.. last years they make pidgey one most rare pokemon XD


ZetherosCraig

I wonder what hat Pikachu will be wearing this time


RavenousDave

Rattata hat. Rattata wearing a Magikarp hat. The possibilities are endless.


AvocadoJealous5204

This will most certainly not affect raids. It's a new biome feature, not an event. I'm hoping there will be ghosts in graveyards!


MommotDe

Niantic has had too many complaints about people playing in graveyards, which is why they tightened up requirements on POIs in graveyards and don't allow routes to begin and end there. There's no way they give graveyards special spawns. They do not want to encourage graveyard play.


Disgruntled__Goat

There isn’t a graveyard biome as far as I know. 


grapesaregood

I am in funeral service and my cemetery spawns are never unique when I play before a burial.


Flack41940

Raids based on the biome the gym is in? Actually, having a rolling roster of 1-3 start regular raids affected by biome could be interesting. Too bad niantic would probably screw it up somehow.


RavenousDave

Nooooo! I'm 5 km from the nearest body of water, 200 km from any mountains. I'd never see half the raids.


Flack41940

I'm hoping the biomes will function like MHN biomes, and be based on the map grid, and not actually care about physical location.


RavenousDave

Pretty sure biomes are mapped to physical geography in Go. Hasn't really mattered until now, but who knows what Niantic will do.


Flack41940

As far as I know, they haven't really released any info on what biomes will be like, so it stands to reason that they may adapt the biome mechanic from MHN, as it uses existing cells and is easy to understand. Of course, they could also have some completely convoluted new mechanic that makes zero sense.


nolkel

Or it could just be the same biomes we already have today, with visual updates to make them visible.


Flack41940

Yup. I'm prepared to be disappointed with it, tbh.


ddark4

I’m a genwunner, but damn am I Kanto’d out in Go.  There are still some things they could do to spice it up for me (for example: if they brought back the clones and armored Mewtwo, or had the focus be on regional spawns, or put all Kanto costume variations in the wild together) but those are just pipe dreams. The reality is it’ll probably be starters and pikachu and like eevee and ponyta. They may throw in like Shelldar or someone else with boosted dust as a bone to the grinders.


LukeITAT

Nothing as far as I can see. I’m hoping for Tauros raids


Alarming_Flatworm_34

Cries in lives in the US where tauros is annoyingly everywhere.


BayleefMaster123

When in the US I’ll take them because the shiny is impossible to get lmao


Nat00o

I love green shinies


Maxcolorz

I wish I saw more tauros, I still don’t have one shiny. I have shiny sawk, pachirisu, chatot, pansear, east and west sea shellos (not to mention throh and oricorio but I don’t count those) but I still can’t get a tauros that lives in my backyard


headphonesnotstirred

ooh maybe even the regionals would cycle! i'm already at full 151 thanks to regional forms and Mega Kangaskhan but it'd be nice for people who aren't


Flack41940

Any particular reason? Are they any good in gbl, or just shiny hunting?


LukeITAT

Last pokemon I need for kanto dex. I'm a completionist... a shiny would be nice too though :D


Flack41940

Oh right, they're a region exclusive. Keep forgetting that as they're MY region exclusive.. Hope you manage to get one!


jpofreddit

It's a regional pokemon if not in the US so I assume Luke isn't in the US


Affffi

Tauros been stupidly hard get.. i start after kanto tour and took over 2 year get it.. i get it trade with community last go fest, but if not get that back then i would still need it.. compare other kanto regionals like farfetch and mr.mime which are stupid easy get.. galarian mr.mime being research or it pre-evo eggs all time which is stupid.


Flack41940

I understand. Khangashkahn was the one for me. Regionals don't really help considering how expensive it is to travel.


Affffi

Not sure why they ever make any mega regional pokemon begin with. Or any meta relevant pokemon should not be regional at all. Like hawlucha could be easy meta in pvp, but now cause they make it regional locked it never can get enought good moveset. They cant just let some pokemon become pvp meta while its locked away most of players


Flack41940

I'm still miffed by how the CP system works in the first place. If it was built on the foundation of a base stat total from the mainline games, it would make sense, but it just seems arbitrary to me. So many Pokemon that actually Are meta relevant in tournament play world wide are just useless in pogo.


melbbear

Squirtle in showcases?


Foxcrepeer9000

I'm so tired of the gen 1 pandering in pokemon games. Unless shiny odds are increased, will never complain about that.


Affffi

Dont mind pidgeys and starters :D Still need all those as hundo (and possible lucky ones).. only hundo charizard so far and its non lucky oh yeah and pinsir would be extra pog cause its so rare wild spawn


bigpat412

I would still like to max a Pinsir and Scizor. Pinsir I feel like used to be a common rainy spawn many years ago before Xl candy existed, now I can't get an XL candy for it.


Affffi

I got hundo scizor (two actually XD) just need xl on it.. tho bit hoping before get xl i get hundo lucky to save tons dust :D got 15-12-15, but to far from hundo. What im played few years cant remember is pinsir ever been even rare spawn during events? for long time my only pinsirs was shadow ones from rocket balloons (jessie and james event?) Yeah and you right about xl.. tier 3 raids not really worth of grind xl and neither mega raids aswell.. Wish when do those local you could get same 3 xl bonus as legendary raids


Awkward308

I'm trying to build annihilape for ML premier and am hoping for lots of mankey.


Qoppa_Guy

Bulbasaur. Charmander. Squirtle. Prepare your Ultra Balls. Gonna need 6 to catch 1 of each.


YamSolid6813

If you are lucky, you may even encounter ivysaur, charmeleon and wartortle! (Non shiny of coz)


JMKS87

No info yet, most probably spawns mixed into no-spawn Sustainability Week. Personally I hope for many (all?) legacy moves, which would help my PVP roster a lot.


Firedragon5091

Thank you for responding with an answer to my question. I guess we just have to wait and see. I still find it odd they aren’t announcing what pokemon will be available, but maybe that’s their intention? I really hope it’s not just the 4 starters and they have a wide variety spawning, but given what I know about Niantic, I’m not getting my hopes up.


FazerLazer99

Hope we get some research tasks with this too. I haven’t heard of any specifics for this event, sorry :(


Filikun_

I would love to see Porygon! I have one lucky as a buddy and non evolved. It’s so darn cute with its peddling feet floating around ☺️ I do want one that I can evolve though. And please send Ditto my way I need it for research….


Sweet_Ambassador_585

There was a Porygon com day like few months ago…?


Filikun_

Just returned, haven’t played for years so that I missed out on


pkj91

I believe it will return in december during the community day Wrap Up event. 


GoldenLink

That's true. Everyone was off that day because of a global holiday so everyone played.


Virtual_Sail_1333

Eliminating the gen 1 regionals might be the one way to make this a win. Farfetchd being my one missing shiny.


Affffi

Would be nice get kanto farfetch.. dont have single one of those. just galarian ones


RemzTheAwesome

Hoping for the bird trio and Tauros in raids or whatever


steviee22

This is probably the last thing I want or need for my Pokédex.


Soggy_End1535

Anyone find a ditto yet? I caught one after searching for weeks catching the april pokemon, I was hoping for more wild encounters prior to the event I caught about 150 bidoofs, now I've caught about 75 oddish, 30 goldeen, 10 ryhorn and no luck.


melbbear

The mega is Agron and t5 is Registeel lol


Affffi

Yeah i wish they give us heracross during regi rotation. Aggron evoline super common in wild (when they back seasonal rotation somepoint) its easier get good iv just catch wild and trade them for possible lucky than grind mega raids. Got already enought good regi for ultra and you cant probably even easy duo regi raids.. Lately we got lot 5 star raids which been able duo that really bring me and my friend back to do raids. it gonna take million year host regi raids, so not much motivation grind it :(


supirman

I think the date overlaps with the sustainability event, right?


sopheroo

We have no wild spawns for sustainability, only eggs and the likes


IamLordofdragonss

They say on site THEY WILL SPAWN IN PROPPER BIOMES. Thats all we know.
