Right, I wonder... Do you think they'd be research rewards for January? Or maybe there'll be a special raid day? Because they were in the image, they've gotta do something, right?
Anyway, lots of new pokemon!
Skorupi, Finneon, Bronzor, Snover, Croagunk in the wild, plus their five evolutions.
Mantyke, Munchlax, Chingling from eggs.
And Heatran in Raids.
I caught a Delibird and Santa Hat Pikachu on the way to work. My Johto Dex is just missing 3. :)
I've played all day and never saw any of these, not even a sillhuoette or any friends with them. I don't see any news about them either. Where do you see info of them being released?
They're definitely out there. All but Snover seem to be a somewhat rare spawn.
Are they regional? A couple posts here on Era are the only place I've seen anyone mention them. I encountered tons of delibirds, snovers and Santa hat pikachus. No other indication of anything else, not even mentioned in game news. No mention or screens of them in my socal slack or discord groups either.
Nope. I've caught all but Bronzor so far and my friends in the same city have said they've seen it in the wild.
Honestly for a winter event, the spawns don't seem to be as boosted as the other events. There are still a ton of regular spawns out there. Whereas during the Halloween event 90% of the spawns seemed to be ghosts/dark/witch hat Pikachu
It's absolutely adventure sync. It gets steps not just from GPS but from motion on your phone. It gets nearly all of the distance I do on my treadmill, which is great if I'm working on eggs in the winter - or hell even the summer as I can get cardio, eggs hatched, and watch Netflix at once.
It's not surprising they'd make hatching easier as that's income to them.
I think the spawns are working as intended around my area. SoCal; Santa Monica all the way through to Redondo Beach. All the ice Pokemon are out in full force. But I'm also not seeing any of the latest gen 4 pop up like scorpi , bronzor ect. I'm pretty sure when this event ends I'll start seeing them around here. I've been playing avidly yesterday and today, plus my job allows me to have my phone on and out 24/7. If those Pokemon existed here I'd see them.

EX raid invites went out just under half an hour ago. These should be the first Attack Forme Deoxys raids.
Damn, got an EX Raid pass for over the holidays when I'll be across the country.
My third research breakthrough this month was an Articuno. I'll take the candy, can power up my 96% one. Still haven't received another Sinnoh Stone from this or any trainer battles.
I haven't seen anything except Snover from the new additions yet. The ice spawns are generally about 50% of what I'm encountering however. Nice to get some sweet Sneasel and Snorunt candy.

So ~6x with super incubator? Good lord, those eggs are gonna hatch fast.
They must have figured the best way to stop APAC from dying is to make them last so that spoofers especially will have already gone through Community Day in their countries.
Hey, I just saw this. I didn't know there was an XP bonus, so that was a really nice surprise. Thanks for all the gift swapping.
Also, since I don't know anyone near me to battle with, I've been randomly challenging people from Era on my friends list when I see they've opened my gifts. I hope I'm not annoying anyone!
Currently 2 for 2 with Heatran. Caught enough Snovers for an Abomasnow. And caught a single Skorupi and Croagunk. I haven't had a chance to go running, so I haven't hatched any eggs.
Double candy is so nice. After Pinap'ing, you only need to catch 4 to evolve.

Really? I'm seeing a TON of ice pokemon. Lots of Swinub, Jynx, Sneasel, Snovers, and Santa Pikachus out there. Of course, it was snowing yesterday, too, so they could've been extra boosted because of that.
Yeah ice pokemon are def. rampant here as well, even though I haven't caught any of the new rare ones. I'm disappointed Piplup isn't included in the batch. He may be a water type but he'd fit for this winter event.
Got a sinnoh stone after training, only need 3 more to evolve the remaining ones I have enough candy for. Togetic and Gligar will take a while.

I have a question for you guys... how is it possible to solo a Tyranitar raid? Are 6 machamps required to do it? What's the minimum level?
It is now possible, you need to luck out on ttar's movset, you need cloudy weather, and 6 lvl 40 high ATK IV Machamps.
Caught a female Heatran. Just need a male one and then it's back to ignoring T5 raids.
Still trying to get any winter shiny. Have checked around 200 of each so far and nothing.

Bleh... that's a tall order. I can solo Machamp raids, so I was thinking of building a Machamp army to get a bunch of TTar candy, but seems I'll probably still be short. Bleh, I might try anyway, and see how far I get. It's good to have goals :)
I don't mind. I'm already level 40. Whenever you are ready.
Basically you can do it if you have 6 good Machamps (they dont need to be level 40 but the higher the better) - in cloudy weather and the Tyranitar has Crunch as its charged move (you want it to have Crunch and Iron tail) and then a little bit of luck getting your 2nd charge move off before your machamp faints
There is also a trick to buy a few extra seconds on the raid which makes it possible to do some of the other Tyranitar movesets which is :
Create an empty party
Go into the fight with that as your selected team (your dropped back into the lobby) - wait a second or two and then rejoin with your Machamp team
This basically bypasses the bit 'Go' banner at the start of the battle and gives you a few extra seconds which is all you should need to win - have a look on Youtube for Solo Tyranitar videos to see some examples (and a lot of people have also posted their team - I've seen ones with some mediocre Machamps that still won.)
Pretty sure you cant solo a Fireblast one (on the old system Fireblast was the hardest Duo)
