Yeah I'd reckon in lieu of the gradual rollout of the update they'd wanna keep everyone busy with the event..
*checks play store for update again*
*dawww*
Yeah I'm surprised I haven't seen any Jynx, given she's generally not super rare. I have seen a bunch of Magmar though. Sadly no Lapras.
Edit- caught Charizard! Shitty CP but ok otherwise. Oh well.
My Ampharos has Focus Blast, once I can power her up maybe I can use her more against strong normal types
My Blissey has Hyper Beam, but she wasn't a super high IV Chansey so I'll need a lot more spare candy before I feel comfy boosting her. I figure Dazzling Gleam is prob good against Tyranitar and Dragonite though.
I appreciate how since Slugma was everywhere during Adventure Week he's been mercifully dialed down to almost nothing for the Solstice Event. Do not need more Slugma.
I reckon it's meant to be a defense, someone uses water against him and suddenly BAM Grass Splosion, same thing with Arcanine getting Wild Charge
But throwin a Fire Pokemon in a gym in this game is largely a 'yeah so what I'm gon do it move' than a strategy lol
Caught my first Typhlosion (after evoing one), really weird that he can have Solar Beam
The one I evod has good stats and moves but such low CP, powering up would be annoying.. naturally right after I evod I caught another pretty good higher CP Cynda still not crazy great.. hoping for a real good one to evolve another.
Where you at Charizard (only starter form I still never encountered in the wild)
Saw a random Lapras for the first time the other day, before event started, this was in Ohio tho (by a Pokestop)
Someone put a Corsola in the gym near me
On that notion given my recent evos Unown is my last regional Johto Pokemon..
