I don't know, I've played for the same amount of time and have seen zero Gible but a Gabite, so I'm not complaining. But I'd seen much more Gyarados in the last event in that amount of time.It seems to me that Gible is spawning at the same rate as Gyarados during the last event. Had never seen a Gible before and am currently at 2 in the first 3.5 hours.
Got a shiny Hippopotas. I don't see myself getting a shiny Riolu so I might be done with this event for the most part lol
In the wild. Full odds though so you'd have to get extremely lucky. Got it on my 30th or so check.Is the shiny hippo available in the wild or just from hatching?

Sure, that's the bigger problem, but people eating up all the stupid hat mons and trying to get those shinies is definitely a problem too because clearly Niantic's getting the wrong message. But I was mostly joking.I mean, yes but also no. I like those party hat Pokemon as long as they're easily available. People buying a shitload of incubators to hatch shiny Riolu are the bigger problem and the reason why so much stuff gets locked behind eggs and raids.
I think I totally cracked the Battle League.
Before tonight I was 7 for 16, a 43.75% win rate, and those wins were harrowing. I now have a win streak of 8, bringing me to 15 for 24, a 62.5% win rate, and I'm routinely not even bringing out my 3rd Pokemon.
The answer is Seismitoad!
Sure, he's the same typing as Swampert and Whiscash (been seeing lots of those), but regardless of type the small party size and rock-paper-scissors approach often meant, to me, who uses up their shields first.
Seismitoad eats shields. With a combo of Mud Shot and Muddy Water, the quick move fills the charged move in 3-4 hits. I've fought some people who have gone through two shields before they've gotten off a single charge move. Better yet, Muddy Water has status effects - lowered Attack.
So comparing pre-event and event Gible shiny rates, it looks as though it went from 1/64 before the event started to 1/128 with the event going on.
Full odds would be a nightmare considering how infrequently it spawns lol. I imagine Chansey will be roughly the same experience next weekend.
It's alright :P I probably won't even touch it until CD or I can lucky trade it for one.

I'd say maybe a dozen spawn every hour.
Holy shit.
