They'll get put in research breakthrough probably around summer I bet.Cobalion as the next boss makes a lot of sense. Once all of the Swords of Justice are released, they can start planning a Keldeo event similar to the Regi event this weekend.
We did raid hour and that's it. He's too hard to try outside of that, and too hard to catch, and there's no shiny so we know he's coming back again so why not wait.demand for darkrai raids was below my expectations. best dark attacker in the game and raid groups were sparse. i got ultra box at the start and i still have 4 passes left. are people shiny hunting that hard?

Darkrai made me realize that Niantic has a marginal utility problem. Sure Darkrai is the best attacker but I already have six dark Tyranitars so how much better really is a bunch of Darkrai? And if they keep pushing everything up to T6 where I need a huge group anyway, what does it matter?
Just do free ones for the chances at rare candy.
It may look like it but they really don't have a problem with that. Hardcore raiders that have full teams maxed out already will care for each small DPS increase. Shiny hunters will care for each new shiny. Active, non-hardcore raiders will still look to spend their passes on some raids. And casual players will only crawl out to serious raiding when it's Mewtwo lolDarkrai made me realize that Niantic has a marginal utility problem.

Nah, usually the case to wait till the new month. This been trend of long time now. Esp for announcing the new T5 raids. Often they wait till literally they get put into eggs. lol It will be announced just before 1pm PST tomorrow.i feel like there is no way the research breakthrough for next month is going to be decent if they are taking this long to announce it
feel like often times it is announced way before now

Same here, been needing something big to try against for it and the only thing close has been Darkrai which I don't have enough people around at anytime to beat.Maybe I can finally finish this fucking 3 Excellent Throws in a row task.
Niantic probably has a big white board with everything figured out for next summer. I think that makes sense.Starting to think next year's raid days during summer will be Palkia/Dialga/Giratina-O since they're doing Regis this weekend and the Lake Trio are regional.
Heatran was in raids from mid-December until mid-January.Probably both. What was it last December? Could also focus less on raids and just the Christmas ice event.
Any good research rewards?Less than 24 hours to go.
The research quests added for the Colossal Discovery seem very much in line with Go Fest.
Plus it was a 'tier 6' raid, so people were generally less willing to gamble on enough people coming out and using competent attackers.I honestly think that the lacklustre interest in Darkrai was due to it not having a shiny.
The rewards won't be known until the event is live and people are claiming them. The tasks can be found in the network code early.
The MASTER update doesn't detail rewards. Though, I'm really curious if they'll all be Rare Candies like Go Fest. The quests are basically the same.
Shadow Gible added to the game master lol
How rare is that one gonna be? Maybe it's the reward for beating Giovanni hahaha
The next best I have is 13/10/12 so no luck on my Darkrais.Your best CP wise? Or do all your Darkrai only have 10/11 attack IV? If you got a Darkrai with 15/14/13 attack you can totally invest in that one, even if its CP are lower. Personally, I wouldn't invest in a 11 attack IV one tbh. But it also depends if you need another good Dark type attacker or if you've already got a good team. Darkrai will take some time to come back for sure, the shiny probably won't release before Halloween next year, so you'll definitely get some use out of your current Darkrai.
13/10/12 sounds good enough if you want to level one up tbh. Defense isn't that important as Darkrai is more on the glass cannon side with it's rather low def/hp.The next best I have is 13/10/12 so no luck on my Darkrais.
I have 2 lvl 40 and 2 lvl 30 dark move ttars so I think I'm good. Guess I'll wait until Darkrai comes back
A shiny Shuppet, a shiny Gastly, and a shiny Houndour. That's the best streak of shinies I've ever had.So what's everyone's results from the Halloween event? I got:
5x shinies (Sneasel #2, Sneasel #3, Rattata #3, Shuppet and Cyndaquil)
3x 100%'s (Roselia, Sneasel and Poochyena)
Overall, getting double hatch/catch/transfer candy so close to the Gen 5 release made it a lot of fun, not to mention making Golett widely available (even if it was a hard task), boosting Litwick spawns (even if I would've liked them to be more frequent), bringing back the Spiritomb special research and releasing Darkrai (even if T6's are pretty demoralising).
Biggest disappointment is probably the lack of the Alolan Marowak raid day. I was hoping they simply delayed it because of Japan's CD redo but the complete lack of anything since their accidental announcement makes it seem like they cancelled it entirely.
The Niantic twitter saying it isn't happening didn't give me much hope. Might still happen on the 23rd/24th if we're lucky. This weekend is Regigigas and then we have CD two weeks later. The week between I'm guessing they'll drop Team Rocket, so I don't see a raid day then.Biggest disappointment is probably the lack of the Alolan Marowak raid day.

Use this trick to cheat them:A shiny Shuppet, a shiny Gastly, and a shiny Houndour. That's the best streak of shinies I've ever had.
Didn't get enough Litwicks to evolve but I haven't lucked into a Unova stone yet so whatever. I have two Golett tasks that I can't seem to beat (got pretty close yesterday on a Tyranitar raid but threw the last ball just a smidge early and got the great, then caught him).
Hopefully but I wouldn't be surprised if it just gets delayed to Halloween next year or something.The Niantic twitter saying it isn't happening didn't give me much hope.
