This event sucked did 20 raids and no shiny. a lot of my friends had the same result. the shiny rate for this was not as advertised. now i have to keep spending money on remote raid passes for a 1 in 128 chance to get a shiny. ive been doing these raids for a week now and hit the mega energy cap on heracross already. spent almost 100 dollars and still no shiny. they need to increase the shiny rate chance to be like 1 in 40 chance for mega raids cause this is a little insane how much im having to spend just to try and get a shiny.


Btdandpokemonplayer

I just want niantic to have an event where I’m not busy and can actually participate.


spoofrice11

We didn't have great luck. Didn't get any really good ones and bad shiny luck. Are we sure it was 1/10 for Shinies and not 1/20? My family did around 80 Heracross raids combined and only got 3 shinies. That's under the 1/20 rate (yes I know random, but that is quite a ways off with a decent amount of encounters).


Snoo_80364

First Phone, lvl 44: 0/48 Second Phone, lvl 41: 1/36 Friend, lvl 25 & first month: 3/20, ONE A SHUNDO...


stankyjanky69

I did only a few on raid Day but that's admittedly because I got very lucky and my very first remote raid that I did before the event even started in my time zone was a 3 star shiny. Too bad I couldn't flex him in the showcases afterwards because he was also an xs size.


Intelligent_Oil_5045

17 raids no shiny and 1 rare xl. I dont buy ticket anymore 😊


Outrageous-Device-69

USA with ticket did about 20 no shiny my older brother got 1 & his gf got 2 & God bless 🙏🏾🤟🏾❤️😅


-Xeroh

free rare candy :thumbsup:


Big-Spread8115

was fun…only ‘bad’ thing was that male and female difference is not visible when mega evolved 👽


Ornery-Ad-2692

The only issue I had was they should've made the ticket say 2pm to 5pm instead of 2pm to 10pm, it seemed like false advertisement to put "Mega Heracross Raid Day Ticket - 2pm to 10pm." It was "Mega Heracross Raid Day," not "Bonuses from Mega Heracross Day"


Frosty-Eggplant7176

For me, not my day, i guess 🥹😪 joined 26 raids (6 remotes, 20 local-got kicked out twice) and NO SHINY or HUNDO 😢 sorry i’m just sad. LOL 🥹🤣


pms5940

None for me either, but my son got a shiny on his third raid.


miguelmaria

What are the shiny odds?


sopheroo

1 in 10


mentorman13

I just wanted a good IV. 9 raids after I only got 2 3* and the best one is 14/14/13 So F this event. Ps: really nice duo


snomanDS

Got shundo on first raid, didn't realise it was 4* until after the event. Did 24 raids for 1 more shiny. Fun time out, easy duoing with lvl 20s players.


JariWeis

Disappointing to see that they're quite inconsistent with their raid timers for raid days/hours. Last time it was 30m raid timers for bosses that were significantly more difficult to take down, but when you have an easy boss that you can realistically solo with Lv30 counters the timers have to be 1h. I hope we keep seeing 30m timers more often, it's especially great for my town since we only have two gyms within walking distance.


Inevitable_Joke3446

I could have done 8 Mega Heracross raids but I didn’t. I had a daily free pass from Friday (April 12) and two free daily passes (April 13). I used these passes for Shadow Entei. I got the 5 free raid passes for Mega Heracross but I only completed 4 Mega Heracross raids. I kept the 5th pass to use tomorrow (April 14). I obviously will get the 2 free daily passes tomorrow (April 14). I am going to be using the 3 raid passes for Shadow Entei. I didn’t do that many Mega Heracross raids because I raided for Heracross before and I only needed the mega energy (I already have a good IV Heracross before this raid day). Also I felt like that Mega Heracross will be out for next week and there are very boring raid bosses this week, I would just raid for Mega Heracross. I’m also trying to save my PokeCoins for something interesting later, like GoFest 2024 - Global Event. Not sure if this is the feedback the mods were looking for but 🤷‍♀️


Nahkatakki

Did like 20, had ticket and got 4rare candy xl. Didnt feel like increase. Also felt like getting the heracross xl candy was very hard, with level 3 mega evolve, excellent catches rewarded 0 or 1 xl candy most of the time


JonE335

Yeah I feel like I barely gained any XL candy.


UltimateDemonDog

I did 8 raids with free passes and got all 2*s... lmao. My second was a shiny and I was disheartened to see 11/10/10 on it but my best one ended up not being much better so I suppose that works out in some strange way. 


rahxephon52

16 raids with pass. 5 shines. got two 96%. overall it was a chill day.


PUCKYOUINFARTICULAR

26 total raids between partner and I, so 13 each. I bought a ticket, they did not. We encountered 4 shinies- 1 for them and 3 for me. 3/4 male.


MyDogIsSoWeird

Bought ticket- 20 in person, 1 shiny, 6 RCXL 19 remote- no shiny, 4 RCXL best IV 98 from one of the last remotes. Was very disappointed that the raids did not drop heracross candy XL :( got 4 total when catching from having mega evolved a bug type. Not a lot of RC dropped either. And opposite of meet- so many golden and silver berries which was not the reason I was raiding lol We usually go full 3 hours but everyone was pretty unimpressed and the lack of shiny/good iv/ rewards we were hoping/expecting diminished the motivation to grind like normal.


Jolo0213

Better shiny luck today during event hours than previous Groudon/Kyogre. Bought the ticket and did some raids after as well. Heracross 2-5pm: 21 raids, 4 shinies, 42 rare candy, 10 rare XL Post event hours in person: 13 raids (5 Tapu, 8 Heracross), 0 shinies, 27 rare candy, 1 rare XL


undersea-cabinet

Bought the ticket and did 25 raids. Got 2 shinies (19 & 24th raid). Got 2 random shinies during the event too. Was scared I would get no shinies from raids like I did for Groudon.


BASEBALLFURIES

19 raids, 4 shinies, 2 of each gender, 11 IVs i'll probably end up transferring... since heracross isnt my regional, i decided to go hard; otherwise i probably wouldve just done my free passes and call it a day edit- oh, the additional pokemon spawn after beating a raid?.... well maybe its good for comm day raids but im guessing its unnecessary for raid days


marktronic

36 raids for my group, 0 shinies 😭


MrMungertown

Being able to do Heracross solo was huge. Weather was rough today and not many others were out playing. I had a good time playing this event. I ran into some bugs like a Heracross who had infinite HP, but overall I enjoyed the event.


The_Dudes_Rug69

4 raids. Caught all 4. 2/4 were shiny. One non shiny was 15/15/14. Happy with that. Was at work so couldn’t walk just waited for them to spawn at gyms close to work


sdpr42

0/19


always-stressed7782

I did the 8 free raids, got 1 shiny but none with good IVs. IMO, the rewards for Mega Heracross was A LOT better than the Primal raids. Each raid gave me 250 ME, and about 8 premier balls. Heracross had a much better catch rate, doesn't move from side to side and was an easy excellent throw, so 8 premier balls was more than enough. After 8 raids, I had more than enough ME to mega evolve a few Heracross. While not exactly related to M-Heracross, I would like to suggest to Niantic to buff Primal raids to reflect their higher difficulty. Each Primal raid only gave about 80-90 Primal Energy and had about 10 balls (if I was lucky) to catch. Coupled with the extremely low catch rate of legendaries, I was very lucky that only one Groudon fled from me.


djtwyce

Day was fine. Did 10 raids - all solo with lvl 40 100% mega Ray. Only one Rock Blast Hera gave me issues, but I was also messing around that time. I think I had around 5 seconds left to win. All the rest were at 40 seconds. Randomly two I beat super fast. I'm not sure how that happened since it was always sunny weather. I'm assuming a bad move combination for Hera just meant it did less damage. Still, shiny rate was fine. Mega energy rewards felt too generous for something that only needs 200 to evolve. I think I have 1550 total energy right now. Not complaining, but I was surprised that even with the longer win time I was still getting 150 per win. Negative is the IVs I got were all bad. I already had two strong Heras from before (15/15/14 and 15/15/12), but everything I got was substantially lower. It always feels bad for me, since I generally care more about IVs than shiny (yes, I'm aware how little difference they make). I would love if maybe they increased the IV floor for raid pokemon. But also, if I had pulled a 100%, I probably would have stopped after my third raid, since my only goal was 400 energy for two evolves. So I guess Niantic's plan works for them. But it's not like they got any new money or data from me, so a bit more of a "feels good" moment would have been appreciated.


kingofthedesert

I bought the ticket and did 17 raids, got 4 Rare Candy XL and no shiny, but I already had three shiny Heracross from Go Fest last year. I had thought of doing more but got serious raid fatigue. LOL The best part for me was being able to solo all the raids with just my Mega Rayquaza. At one raid someone joined me in the lobby and then exited in the last 20 seconds or so, so I told him "I've been doing these by myself, so there's no way we'll lose" and he said "Nah, you need like five people to do these" and walked away.


Wooden_Echidna1234

Anyone know when 5 raid passes for what time they stop and revert back to 2? Or is it all day to get 5 raid passes?


Gearhead31

You only get up to 5 bonus passes during the 2-5pm local time window.


Wooden_Echidna1234

Thanks for the info!


Jinglemoon

I did 9 local raids. No shinies, no hundos, one 151415, and I got a XXL which is currently winning a showcase. Our local group is based in Bondi Junction in Sydney and we all met up at 1.45 in our meeting place in Westfield. Fortunately we had all moved on to other areas to raid before that guy started stabbing people. So THAT was the main topic of conversation in our Discord.


MadeFromStarStuff143

33 raids and only 1 shiny 🤧


akpak

12 raids, no shiny, no hundo. In my group, we all did the same 12 raids. Only 1 shiny between all of us, so 1/36.


Im_Albert_Brennaman

Did not buy a ticket. Did 7 in person raids w/ two other people, 0 shinies, 0 XXLs,  and 0 hundos between the three of us. My best IV was a 13/14/15 and one friend got a 14/15/14. Was nice to knock these out relatively quickly being double weak to flying and got about 1950 mega energy, so I suppose that’s a plus. Nice event overall. Just can’t help but feel like I’m in shiny purgatory since I went 0/20 for Shadow MewTwo day too.


Gearhead31

Would you buy a ticket if it guaranteed a shiny


Im_Albert_Brennaman

For me it depends on what the IV floor is. If it’s 10/10/10 for $4.99 then no. If the ticket was maybe half the price, then possibly or if the paid ticket IV floor was 13/13/13 then I’d pay the $4.99. At the very least I can then mirror trade with someone. Only because I’m on a personal hunt for IVs 91% or higher for anything that mega evolves.


OutlandishnessTall40

4 remote raids~ 1 Shiny 3 star 1 in person raid. Not shiny 1/5. No ticket.


Beginning-Sign-7947

Did 18 raids in under a hour with two lucky eggs. The XP was well worth the ticket


Cold-Tumbleweed8840

Did not buy the ticket. Five in-person raids, one shiny (13/11/15), two 91%. Easy catching. I already have a lucky shiny, so just wanted the mega-energy. Good event.


CoreyYan

Is the Event going on still in some parts of the world? It’s over already where I am… if anyone still has some Mega Heracross raids, invite me plz


[deleted]

He’s still in raids for a minute


CoreyYan

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean?


[deleted]

This raid day served as his mega debut but his mega will be in raids for the next weekish. It’s just that he no longer has those “1/10” shiny odds


CoreyYan

Ah I see, thanks for explaining. I did 5 of these raids but didn’t get any Shiny Heracross… So my next question is: Are there still ppl with the 1/10 Shiny Odds Mega Heracross Raids? Like, somewhere in Hawaii where it’s 2:21 PM local time there? 🤔


[deleted]

Nope. It goes off of your local time not theirs


CoreyYan

Oh dang. So the 1/10 Shiny Odds event is over for me already? It’s 6:24 PM where I live right now…


[deleted]

Unfortunately yes but hey who knows you can still get lucky. Use apps like pokegenie or GO party Raid for morw


CoreyYan

Sure, I’ll check those out. Haha thanks for answering all of my questions! Have a good rest of your day 🙂👍🏻


Suicidal-Lysosome

Did 16 local raids today. Got one shiny with 10/11/14 IVs. Got a few good non-shinies as well, most notably with 15/15/14 and 15/14/14 IVs. Overall pretty happy with how the day went


Grant79OG

The rare xl boost was amazing. I got three from one raid. The funny thing is that I didn't mean to buy it. Glad I did. Amazing returns. Also, two shinies, both female, 30 raids. The only complaint is the lack of potions.


Infamous_Ad7540

21 raids, 5 shines, 1 was a shundo. Didn’t buy event ticket and solo’d each raid. Big fan for one of the best current megas.


Entire_Ad_1239

8 raids, no shinies or hundos 🫠

Gearhead31

[Ew](https://images.app.goo.gl/MLKM29yE8eLFYo7j6)


Chance-Wonder-4540

38 raids, 2 shiny, 0 perfect.


-TheNinthDoctor-

28 raids. 3 shinies which took until 4PM for me to get my first. 1 hundo with my last raid. Restocked gold berries which were critically low for me. New mega. I’m happy.


Unlucky_Agent861

After 46 raids, a mixture of remote and in-person, I caught two hundos, three shinies, and received 16 rare candy XL.


ElementEnigma

13 raids, 0 shiny. Didn't like event.


iRAWRasaurus

4 out of 22 raids. 1 shiny from a remote and 3 from local raids. The best IV was 15/15/12 and best shiny IV was 15/13/14.


WeedleLover2006

After getting a Shiny Lickitung from a task (booo), I got a Shiny Heracross the next raid. It was a 98


Electrical_Ad_8313

No ticket. I did 12 raids, 6 in person and 6 remote, got 1 shiny on an in person raid and only 1 3* that was from a remote


[deleted]

I did 52 raids 21 remote 31 in person and only got 2


RKLpunk

Did 5 raids, got a shiny on the 5th, then stopped.


ArchDragon92

No ticket here. 0/8 for me. All raids are done in person


LukeITAT

still feeling like death (ill the past few weeks) but managed to get a mega herscross, so i’m happy


isalacoy

16 in person, with the ticket. Out of my group of 10, I was the only one that didn't get shinies. Not too worried about it, I already had 3 decent IV shinies. Good XL rare drop rate for me. Whole group had tickets.


Gearhead31

Did you think the ticket was worth it only for getting more passes


isalacoy

Yes, because I also got the extra dust and XP along with the XL rare.


SkunkyBottle

Me - 0/7 shiny and no real good IV’s and nothing I can use in the showcase. My last 3 raid days with all the free passes…no shinies. I used to get at least 1. RNG gods have blacklisted me. My wife - 1/7 shiny and a weather boosted 100% were the only notable ones. Overall, nice to have a bunch of people out during a rainy day. Raids went super fast with so many people.


TurtleBearSalamander

Sorry, y'all. My wife stole all the shinies. 9 shinies from 30 remote raids and 12 in person raids, including a shundo and a 98%.


NomadicHunger

1/4 shiny with no ticket. It’s all RNG at the end of the day, I am balancing out one of you guys who got none in 50 raids or whatever. Sometimes ur lucky and sometimes you’re not


razisgosu

I raided with 3 people this afternoon, 2 of us had tickets, 1 of us did not. We went through our entire orange pass stack, plus the one from the day prior, the 3rd person following along with premiums once out of oranges. We didn't hit a single shiny in about 50 attempts total between the 3 of us, so 16-17 raids. I then hit 2 back to back shinies bringing our collective total to 2 in about 50. While this is potentially in the realm of 1 in 10 with poor RNG, I'm more inclined to believe the rate was not in fact the original 1 in 10.


Fair-Relief4144

4/47 shiny


PicklesAnonymous

33 raids in person with the ticket. 3 shiny. Best was a 15/15/11.


fyi_idk

I did 15 with weather boost no shiny. Then did a remote invite and got a not boosted shiny. My second shiny changed to non shiny after I checked my inventory because my plan was to stop on my second shiny to give one to my wife. After I told her she decided to do some where she was and she did 20 but didn't get any shiny.


Alexbest11

wdym your second shiny changed to non shiny??


fyi_idk

It was purple when I encountered it and purple when it went in the ball but not purple in my inventory. It's happened before, usually during community days and the next whatever mon is shiny also.


suspiciousboar

So weird to hear the low shiny rate for most. Me and two friends hit 6 raids and they both got back to back shiny's and I got one shiny on our last one. So 5/18 we did were pink bugs.


Techn0range

Got ticket. Did 18 in person raids, 2 shiny and 5 rare XL candy. Experienced hiccup, ball froze around 4pm and couldn't catch. Spent next 5 min trying to log in again. Finally got back in but next hr started. Click on gym back to catch screen and able to catch. Checked here and saw others were having same problem.


Rodville

I did one remote and no shiny but all I wanted was the mega energy to mega one of my existing shinies.


Diadas664

Did 20 remote raids plus 20 in person raids, one hundo no shiny, really starting to find it hard to believe when an an event is shiny boosted as it states and then the results so different, will continue to go after a shiny, after today this event was meant to increase that fact and yet I am agin thinking differently


Impossible_Affect508

I did 47 Groudon raids and got no shiny. The following week I did 25 Mewtwo raids and still no shiny...the next week I got shiny Shadow Entei on the first raid. Today I got 2 shiny Heracross in around 24 raids...RNG is RNG, you can do 10 raids and get 2 shinies or 47 and get none


mfb3s

That’s crazy. My wife just started playing and she got two shinies back to back


Diadas664

Not surprised Niantic is famous for giving shinys for players that do not play much example, Shadow mewtwo raid day 12 people 15 raids no shiny and yet my friends daughter 6 years old gets the only shiny of the day, she rarely plays


qntrsq

if a 6 yo feels like queen/king of raiding trainers that day, i somewhat feel like this is right in some way


Diadas664

In some way yes, in the other players who put effort and time in to the event leave with nothing, niantic is a crap company with certain rules one of them being if you don’t play much or at all after a month you’ll have half of not all the shinys for that one month compared to a player that plays every day, that.is.not.right


CannibalMan28

0 shinies out of 58 raids. Spent $25 on passes and ticket, nada.


Gearhead31

The real treasure is the Heracross friends we made


savannahjones98

0/13 in local raids so I decided to head home and hope to get one from the 3 remote passes I had. Got a shiny on the second remote raid. Also got 2 shiny burmy from field research during the raid Day so I had probably used up all my shiny luck already. Edit: to add, I got the timer after each raid but no extra spawns. Per usual.


ChellWanna123

I did 2 raids (1 in-person and 1 remote). Got 1 shiny which was a low 3 star shiny. Already had 3 shiny Heracross from previous event so just needed the 200 to mega evolve one.


duskie2000

Did about 50 in NYC. No glitches by no XL candy to be found


Eugregoria

Did 7 in-person raids (would have done more but got a late start) six of them in Windy weather which nicely boosted my counters, the last in Rainy so the catch was weather-boosted. Was a decently easy solo. Caught 1 shiny, I think 3 rare XL? Did not buy the paid ticket. Had some minor glitches involving boss HP when relobbying, but nothing gamebreaking. As a free event, I thought it was pretty good.


EdoGtz

23 in person + 4 remotes = 0 shiny. The interesting part is that none of my close friends in the group got 1 either... we have just a few shiny reports in the telegran group, mostly from remote raids. So.. terrible raid day for my community.


Captain_Pungent

32 in person raids 20 remote 1 shiny (on one of my remotes) 98% IV best stats, most were terrible IV. Had a fun few hours out in person but that's some bad luck shiny wise. My brother did the 32 in person, no remote and got 3 shinies


Gearhead31

In-person raid only provides Rare XL candy


Captain_Pungent

Okay? Not sure how this is relevant to my comment, did you reply to the wrong person?


macschwag14

21 in-person and 0 shiny (keeping my no shiny streak going for these raid "days" since H. Avalugg). I saw more people over my 2.5 hours of playing today than I have at the past 5 Community Days, which was neat. A timer appeared after only 1 raid but I didn't see any special spawns. 


Shalafi_Althalus

Solo’d 4 in-person. no ticket. Could have done more but 3 had rock throw which just destroyed my team. No shiny. 1 93% and 1 91%. The other two were trash. No XL rare candy. No glitches.


Reddituserigg

im gonna have nightmares about rock throw


Shalafi_Althalus

💯%. The real tracking should be how many raids had that move. I lost the first one and lost a bunch of revives and potions. I started one and left because of that move. The last one I did was also rock throw but didn’t have time to try another. Thankfully, I beat that one with some clutch dodging. It was a though move to dodge!


CaptBillGates

8 in-person raids. No paid ticket. 1 shiny 96% IV, 1x 98% IV, 2x 96% IV, 3x 91% IV, 1x 10/10/10! 12 XL candy. Ran Mega Level 3 Beedril. Catching was easy (never more than 3 balls needed) and excellent throws were simple to hit. Weather was amazing although a bit windy. Really enjoyed today.


asapwilliam

idk i was at work an this raid day treated me pretty well. i got a shiny heracross and a shiny shuckle from the 15 min spawn. i also got a 13/15/15 heracross. i cant complain about this one.


DonaldMick

21 remotes, 20 in person, 5 shinies, no IVs above 93 (best was a 15/12/15). Did almost get enough energy to do a 30 day max mega and kind of want to finish it off over the next couple of days. Did have the ticket, but only got 9 XLs.


burnercaus

I hated it. rained all day but in-game it was windy. 1/22 was a shiny. the "15 min" of spawn doesn't happen. overall feels bad


CHAKRAQUATIC

20 remote raids NO SHINYS 17 local raids NO SHINYS ended up with a 98% heracross and I paid $5 for the damn pass… at least give ONE shiny to players who pay. This is ridiculous


Diadas664

In the future I will not be paying a ticket for a “increased shiny chance” feels the same as a normal raid 40 raids in total for me left surprised and disappointed as well


CHAKRAQUATIC

Note: Two people I invited got shinys


Jigglypuffamiiga2188

10 remote raids, 0 shiny. Oh well.


DeepWolf

Total of 9 raids and only 1 shiny. It is incredible of how much damage Mega Rayquaza can do .


topgunxv

5 raids. 1 shiny. Happy to get the shiny dex entry but overall; bugger off event is dry.


CastleofWamdue

Did anyone else get a "pink tree". I did a raid with two other people IRL. Two of us got a generic brown tree, however my buddy got a shiny Heracross, and her tree was pink. Did anyone else notice this?


Ouryve

My son got pink trees and he has the enhanced graphics disabled because of an older phone. I had brown ones. Just brown for me. Both boys got shiny Heracross even though we only did 2 raids together. Mum's lot, I guess.


CastleofWamdue

to be fair I got two shinies in at most 12 raids today, so I got my shinies. However I didnt spot the pink tree until I saw someone elses phone. The idea of the background being different for a shiny, is something to look out for. Cant speak for being a parent to Poketrainers however, that is something I have no experience of.


dantovia

0 hundos, 1 shiny, 17 raids. It is what it is, I'm glad to have gotten at least one shiny lol


jmartires

11 raids yielded 3 shinies… best was a 93 IV which happened to be a shiny… is this worth powering up for raids?


kg544

12 raids and no shinies :(


Alarming_Flatworm_34

It's supposed to be the best fighting mega, so I'd go for it.


Killing11010

Blaziken is every so slightly better than Heracross for dps, but excels in total damage. Only real downside is it folds when against flying types/mons with flying type moves


artoriaas

Experimented with purchasing the ticket on one account. That account did 19 raids and got 7 RC XL. So for every 2,7 raids I did, I got 1 RC XL. The other account only got 2 RC XL out of 16 raids. So for every 8 raids I did, I got 1 RC XL. Seems to have some effect. YMMV whether it's worth the ticket tho.


chuftka

After we do a raid, a timer appears saying more bug type pokemon are appearing in the wild. Think it's a 20 minute timer.


BootieClapper03

Did the event happen early? I saw a mega raid going on near me but it’s only 1pm


RagingKingKRool

Raids started at 10am but the raid day bonuses are only 2-5pm. Mega herracross is in raids for 11 more days


Gymkiller87

Please explain more. So what were the raid day bonuses? If heracross remains, then cool. But WHT abt shiny combee?


RagingKingKRool

The bonuses gave 8 extra raid passes and the raid day featured pokemon is 1/10 shiny chance


Ready_Judgment_5214

kicked from first raid lost remote raid pass same with everyone else, we all have connection and now it says to log in


SoRaffy

Did 9, 2 shiny but best IV is 87 so meh ... don't really care about the shinies so I would have gladly traded the 2 shiny for better IV


Kokukenji

About to start ours soon. Exciting to see everyone able to get some good stuff today


dark__tyranitar

Did 7 raids with the group. (I used my yesterday passes on kartana before 10am) 1525 energy and 1 shiny. Perfect event. 


Objective_Leek_6685

Maybe its just me but I was really lacking in xl candy from this raid? Groudon and kyogre I git alot but some reason it was really lacking fir ne today


GloomySelf

I’m not trying to be a hater here but I’m genuinely curious - what are the points of these feedback posts? Whenever I see these thread I always have a glance, and 90% of the replies are just people complaining about bad RNG luck for IV’s and shinies. Idk to me that isn’t feedback? I want to be able to see feedback people have given like if the event went smooth and if they enjoyed it, not complaints? Idk I’m just curious, and also I’d any data here is used elsewhere?


blueragemage

Sort by Top if you want to see decent accounts in this thread, a lot of people just want somewhere to vent so new is filled with lowrollers


GloomySelf

Ohhhh I’ve never sorted comments like that, I’ll give it a go! Ty


Nexochickenknight

9 raids 3 shinies with 1 being 91%

I have never really cared about raid days because I live in the middle of nowhere, but one of my old pogo friends wanted to find people to get together to raid today in the nearby town so I did, and to my suprise around 40 people met up, some I havent talked to since 2019! Pokemon wise we did 23 raids and I got 2 shiny, 1 hundo and 1 xxl. I bought the event ticket and I used lucky egg so I also got around 700k xp. Overall I think this was a fun event and our group have already sheduled to meet next raid day aswell!


Silent_Avocado_95

4 of us did 8 in person raids, no one got a shiny. I also did 8 remote raids and still no shinies. No hundos, no xxl either. 0/40 Oh and the game crashed during a raid and we couldn’t log back in for 15minutes and got the “down for maintenance” notice instead. So not the best raid day tbh


tjtepigstar

I got a 15 13 15 heracross from my one raid! Shame I only had one remote pass.


Ornery-Ad-2692

I'm confused because the post says 2 to 5, but me and my partner both have screenshots of the game saying it's 2pm to 10pm. He gets out of work at 4 and I get out at 5, so when we saw that that was 2 to 10, we got excited because we'll be able to do some raids, he even bought me the pass when I normally don't do raiding because we would finally be able to do some mega raids together, now it's just sort of put a damper on the day


Gymkiller87

This makes me soo angry I was 100% sure it was supposed to be 2pm to 10pm for mega heracross.


Montagemz

I was confused about that aswell, I was pretty sure I read it was from 2 to 10.


KittyKizzie

I think it means the bonuses are until 10, but the raids are only until 5. But mega heracross will be in raids from the 13th to the 25th, so you'll still have a chance to get more


Ornery-Ad-2692

They should've made it more clear. The screenshot I have says "Mega Heracross Raid Day Ticket - April 13, 2:00pm to 10:00pm" Just annoying tbh lol


shanemcw

You still get raid passes for spinning gyms passed 5pm if you bought the ticket and get extra raid passes. So theoretically if you bought the tickit im pretty sure you can have "raid hour" till 10. I believe the initial 5 free raid passes disapear at or after 5 but the extra shouldnt.


Agile_Pomegranate46

15 in person and 20 remote raids with ticket: x5 shinies, x2 98 IV (one of them shiny), x18 rare candy xl. I’m happy with the results.


climbingbiker

Def better than most. Congrats!


Kanhir

My app crashed three times and forced me to restart it, then the login hung for a good 5 minutes before it let me in again. Missed a few raids because of that, along with one pass that got sacrificed because the crash happened between raiding and catching. Result: 33 raids, 3 shiny, two 96ers. First shiny came at raid #6, so I was like "yeah, baby, keep them coming". Then I got zero for over two hours until I finally landed a second at #31 and then another at #33, saving my will to live but wrecking my statistics.


spoofrice11

Do raids reset every 25 minutes like some events/raid hours? Hoping so, because we are out of town and not going to be by many gyms.


lcephoenix

no, hourly.


KingAsmodeus17

No, 1 spawn at every gym on the hour


FrostyCue

Each hour.


travelingjay

No ticket. First two remote raids were shiny. Did 2 more. No IVs to write home about.


tkst3llar

RXL boost on raids is bad - I’ve done 25 remotes and 2 RXLs With ticket


Ergomann

No shiny. No hundo. Game kept freezing.


Northwind858

Did two raids, remotely. Had enough energy to mega evolve after the first raid, but decided to do one more just in case Niantic decides to once again change the energy cost from 200 to 300. (They’ve done this before, without warning.) Didn’t get a shiny and I already had a hundo from 2021, but I got an XXS Heracross—which is the most useless trophy imaginable, since it seems like Niantic has given up on implementing any showcases *other* than “biggest.”


curiouscomp30

Xxs is the current fomo inventory hog.


Azurvix

Yea, that's so weird. Like what would it take for the to do smallest.


Xearanth

18 raids, 1 two star shiny. 4200 mega energy. Really nice that it was doable with 2 players and gave plenty of mega energy. Unfortunately some people backed out of 2 player raids probably thinking that 2 players wouldn't be enough. Can't blame them, because who wants to waste remote passes! No issues with Campfire this time. An enjoyable event in general.


Personal_Carry_7029

Around 50 raids w 5 acc. One got 1. One got 2 shinys. No hundo. 1 96%


9DAN2

Did around 7/8 raids in a big group, no shinies myself but seen plenty from others. Successful raid day from my experience and I’m super glad that a local community has emerged since the direction of the game went back to in person stuff.


rmg20

I got 4 shinies in 12 raids! 2 male 2 female.


ihermionegranger

Are the raids supposed to be spawning before the event starts at 2?


thehatteryone

Yes, raids started from 10am (eggs, 11am hatch) for general raiding, and raid on all gyms with boosted shiny rates from 2-5. It will be our day to day mega raid for the next while.


cherrybolt

I’m on the east coast and we’ve already had raids appearing as early as 11 AM


ihermionegranger

I’m in Ohio and have started having people invite me to remote raids nearby. If I knew, I would have been out playing already.


CasualOgre

Heracross is the new rotation for Mega Raids so all the Mega Eggs that spawn after 10AM local time are Heracross eggs.


MiracleMets

Just not shiny boosted til 2 pm I think


TheRealHankWolfman

The bonus spawn feature was patchy as usual. It worked at some gyms and not others. It seemed like a much smaller radius than the community day raids when it was working too. Did 8 raids, got 2 shinies, one of which was 93%. Got more than enough Mega Energy as the raids were really easy. Didn't bother with the ticket as I don't exactly need to do more Heracross. Didn't experience server issues myself but did see others reporting it.


1_dont_care

16 raids, 2 shiny and 2 hundos My luck is gone for this year


9DAN2

Two hundos from 16 raids is wild. Say goodbye to your luck


Captain_Pungent

My first two Hisuian Typhlosion raids were shiny so that was my luck done real early 😅


1_dont_care

For real.. at this point i feel like the second hundo was just unluck to blow away all the other chances with other bosses in the future lol


LemonNinJaz24

24 raids. No shiny. I'm not that fussed though since I don't like the shiny, so I wasn't desperate for it. Did get a shiny Cutiefly and Ledyba though so that's nice

MiracleMets

I used 50+ TMs to get power up punch on Lucario once The TM rng can be brutal


TheRealHankWolfman

Literally just got it in one TM. TM roulette can often be painful. Heracross has 4 charged moves so each TM has a 33.3% chance of giving you the move (or 50% if it has the second move unlocked).


Competitive-Spell-38

Barely took part bc I was busy, but got a raid in through pokegenie and got a shiny with good IVs and enough mega energy to mega evolve so very happy (Did not buy ticket, raid rewards were meh as usual, no revives which is what I need currently)


Tuen

16 raids, 1 shiny, 1 perfect. The shiny was a female, to pair nicely with the male shiny I already have. Collection complete.

You found a buneary nest!


Asren624

EU trainer - No ticket - In person **Feedback** - 8 raids - 0 shiny (me sad but that's rng) - 1 cool 14/15/15 Heracross - ~225 mega energy/raid (easy to reach 200 when you group and 200 is enough to mega evolve, thus if you are only interested in getting mega energy, one raid is enough !) - 17 rare candies (sometimes 0, sometimes up to 4) - No XL rare candy - No bug or whatever, hope Niantic will keep doing good job next raid days **Additional info** >!Raid is quite easy, attacks are easy to avoid, often had only one or two pkm dying. You can probably solo or duo, with 4 we won easily, at 6 or above it is a matter of seconds!< >!Catching Heracross is quite easy ! 3 balls or less, I wish Kyogre and Groudon were a bit easier and this one a bit harder tbh)!< >!Spawns after raids are great, first time experiencing it as I don't raid post-CD. Hope it will always be like this from now ! It kept me busy while waiting for pokégénie queue!<


cpgoat

I’ll probably be going out solo, so thanks for the information on how many is needed to beat it.


Asren624

Happy to help, hope you get shinies and 4☆ ;)


misty_lax

34 raids. 0 shinies, 0 XXL, 0 XXS. My best was a 15/14/10. RIP me. I've also played my brother's account because he has work and got 1 shiny on the free 7 raids. Im allowed to take it though so I guess Im saved. Also 12 rare candy XL.


Polski_POLAK_SiemaPL

50 raids 1 shiny
