Leekduck always understands the mission...no matter how much there is going on for an event the mans just finds a way to present it all pretty clearly.


iluvugoldenblue

Clean af


czarl13

The infographics are great, but I need a better one with the Pokemon names on it cause I suck :-)


innatelyAware

But the Pokémon names _are_ on the graphics.


scost711

except Typloshion says Butterfree


Twoaru

It's not Blast Burn Butterfree??


innatelyAware

What's a Typhlosion?


SgvSth

Typhlosion? [Here you go, courtesy of Serebii.](https://www.serebii.net/pokedex/012.shtml)


SgvSth

What? You don't have all 1,025 Pokémon memorized? :P (Seriously though, I forgot that Mega Banette even existed until recently. Despite having multiple of them at Mega Level 3...) In any case, if it helps, [here is Bulbapedia's full list of all Pokémon by Dex number.](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_National_Pok%C3%A9dex_number)


4th_times_a_charm_

I sometimes see an obscure D-list pokemon that I forgot exists and instantly the name springs to mind; I'm like.... why? why do I know this.


chris_tortilla

They called typhlosion butterfree lol


camreIIim

BUTTERFREE USE BLAST BURN


quantum-mechanic

"Butter...butter...butter.... \*BURN\* YOU JERKS"


Frobe81

I have a few shadows waiting to be evolved and this was the first thing I checked lmao


bookluverzz

Have you already TM’ed frustration away?


TheSnowNinja

Are we able to do that right now?


bookluverzz

No. Only during Team Rocket Takeover events (or otherwise specified events).


SgvSth

Well, it is now. Time to rename all your Pokémon.


Blazing_bacon

The featured attacks coming back after not being in Hoenn Tour is awesome


Senior-Chain7348

I'm still ticked about hoenn tour. That was so lame


Negative-Inside-6171

I was under the assumption that we would receive a origin of our choice from the global special research along with some candy


Breezer_Pindakaas

The wording would suggest so yes.


kalosstone

Me too, I’ve been unsure which version to pick, because I like Palkia’s adventure effect but I need Dialga for the dex.


Chardan0001

Same


bookluverzz

It wasn’t mentioned in graphics from leekduck. You get the move guaranteed.


hymensmasher99

But do you get a guarantee encounter with the origin of your choice outside of raids?


Jadedragon1016

I wont lie I was under that impression this entire time. I am pretty bummed out if thats not the case. Knowing the move seems almost irrelevant if we cannot get an encounter.


hymensmasher99

Yea because it would sucm if it was locked to raids. Catch rate in a raid is too low. So the entire path would be pointless


Dionysian53

Nope, no guaranteed Palkia/Dialga. Had to raid for mine. I just finished the quest line and you *do* get a shadow regigigas though. 🙃


dmc1793

Still waiting on confirmation whether mega energy will be available from spinning stops & gyms. Tyrannitar or Salamence, depending on the path you chose. NZ goes live in ~30 mins As a trainer who missed the Tyranitar mega raids, I'm on the edge of my seat about this.


ThatIsNotAnAdvantage

After playing for nearly 5 hours in NZ I have no mega energy tasks from stops/gyms at all.


shhhhquiet

RIP


Breezer_Pindakaas

If we get the energy im gonna spin like a madman.


ObviousSherbert

We did in LA so 🤞🏻🤞🏻


Ryvn_Plays

Do we have any updates on this?


dmc1793

I'm sort of assuming that if people were getting it, they'd post. So.....not looking good imo


ThereIsBearCum

Day 1 nearly over in Australia, not seen any mega energy from stops.


OpusL

The… Stone Edge of your seat?

Bite


Pelu_k

Yesterday I obtained ‘catch 10 water pokemon for 10 blastoise mega energy’ at 11:30pm (it was still Friday in my country). I don’t know if it was chance though


Chrisapk

Butterfree learns blast burn! AWESOME! I was waiting for that


steveholtbluth

We do not deserve LeekDuck. Even as someone who pays a lot of attention to what’s going on in game, I would miss half of these wildly inflated events if it weren’t for the fine folks at LeekDuck. Thank you!!


Jadedragon1016

Wait so your not guaranteed at least one encounter? Just the move IF you encounter it? I wont lie, that feels VERY misleading, but then again I suppose I expected too much from Niantic.


Meta289

It's almost dirty just how poorly-worded it was. They could have worded the badge bonus in any number of ways, and they chose to word it as "Encounter an Origin Forme [x] that knows its signature attack, [y]", a wording that in no way suggests it's only that you will get the move if you catch one from a raid.


iMiind

Niantic could teach a master class on wording things poorly


bookluverzz

Well, there should be raids popping up so that will give you an encounter possibility.


SlytherKitty13

True but from the wording it definitely seemed like we would get a guaranteed encounter without having to raid


cmg635

Are the lake guardians going to be wild spawns?


rvc113

Yes


JULTAR

All of them?? 


rvc113

Yes According to serebii


yatub21

Mime Jr. is hatching worldwide, right?


WaffleHouseOfCards

I have a full set of 9 2km eggs, will I have to get new eggs?


SkyRattlers

Yes. Only eggs acquired during the event have the hatches listed above in the infographic. I took time today to empty my eggs completely. And I won’t spin any stops or open gifts until after I fill my pouch with 9 fresh eggs tomorrow after 10am


WaffleHouseOfCards

I’m guessing I don’t need to hatch the new ones during the event period then? I just have to have eggs gathered during the event and then can take my time hatching them? Also can I get these eggs sat and sun only during the event time or all through the night as well? Sorry and thanks for the info!


Cometstarlight

I think it should be? Maybe someone in NZ can confirm!


supersmileys

I received one today in NZ in an egg :)


sandwichpuncher

I know a lot of you people probably like to wait until the last minute.....well this is it: this is the last minute!!


babybelly

no problem. dialga use za warudo!


LUEshi420

Is incense boosted ?


indigo_in_bloom

i swear to god if i'm gonna get any other eggs other than the 10km ones i'm gonna burn it all


Asren624

Don't burn them, when life give you eggs make omelettes


Fishhunterx

I have always wondered what a Lickitung omelette tastes like


chrisinator9393

Agree. I actually remembered for once, I'm clearing out my eggs right now so tomorrow morning I can go spin a bunch and hopefully get some 10Ks


full_on_robot_chubby

Had a friend tell me they're getting about 60 to 70% 10km with the balance being evenly split between the other two.  Seems like a good balance for the people still hunting shinies in the 2km and 5km egg pools.


stanolshefski

It’s almost ridiculous that those regionals are locked in 10km eggs and you’re not guaranteed to get them.


MacaroonNo2253

i m curious about the team rocket research


Hydrochloric_Comment

Shadow Sinnoh starter of your choice, one Spiritomb, some other shadows depending on your version (Gible, Pinsir, and Mismagius for Pearl; Gible, Scizor, and Honchkrow for Diamond), and a Giovanni encounter. Giovanni's team consists of Persian, a fully evolved Sinnoh starter, and Regigas. Edit: Misread serebii. Just one Spiritomb :(


ChrisChros87

same, nothing has been said about that at all


Thermokinetics

I thought we were supposed to get one of the origin formes from the research? Was that just an LA exclusive?


Chardan0001

So do you get a free Origin form? Seems to not be the case but I know the research requires you to catch one of the legendaries.


bookluverzz

Not a free one but yes, you should catch a Dialga/Palkia according to Leekduck for the quest line.


Norelation67

You get a free pass every day, so yes you get a free one, but you still have to be able to find a raid to host for an app.


silkkdaschocka

lol what kind of logic is that


Norelation67

It’s a free pass that you get for free…


RipsNLifts

Kind of a bummer shiny rates aren’t boosted across the board


Hamoflague

Do we know if the hisuian starter will have their signature moves? (Referring to blast burn, etc)


Duke1782YT

Unlikely since they're not even in their normal or ETM movepools at all currently, plus those aren't their signature moves: Decidueye- triple arrows, Samurott- ceaseless edge, and Typhlosion- infernal parade


PerceptionWorried

Do we have any info if spinning pokestops will give Tyanitar or Salamence mega energy as they did for the LA tour?


SlytherKitty13

4 hours in, nothing so far. Pretty much all the tasks are the 'power up x type or x type mon 5 times' with the types changing each hour


LeafySloth

Are Saturday and Sundays habitats and raids identical?


Cometstarlight

Sunday is usually all the Pokemon spawning at once in one big pool (at least, it has been in previous years).


LeafySloth

But I won’t miss out if I can only catch then?


Cometstarlight

You shouldn't, no. All the spawns and raids (unless stated otherwise) should be available on Sunday too.


thmt11

So for this event. Before 10am and after 6pm on respective days, nothing happens? Just a normal day?


128thMic

Correct, although it sounds like you can evolve for moves from 12am


NJQ87

The trade bonus (6x) it's just during the time event or the whole weekend?


Asren624

Much appreciated, this is so well done ! Any way to get other rotoms than with the 0hy0uf0ndm3 quest ? Will they be available in the wild during all hours ?


bookluverzz

It was available in certain previous events. No, only through the research, otherwise it would have been mentioned!


Asren624

Ah that's infortunate, really love this little spark, thanks for clarifying !


Sea_Coast9517

Rotom in previous events have come from photobombs. No idea whether that'll be the case this weekend, though.


lurkinguser

Are any of those shadow starters particularly more worthwhile than the others?


Aizen_keikaku

No wild spawn Hisuian Avalugg. Sadge.


Hydrochloric_Comment

It's only Pokémon with Hisuian base forms, so no Avalugg or Braviary.


ChrisChros87

no collection challenges? cool, more time to concentrate on raids


JULTAR

Minor error, but shiny rotom and the regionals are already out 


Anonymausss

The 2 things Im curious on: Does the starter choice in the research affect the steps, or just eg different candy rewards? Is there (and should I clear my queue for) event field research other than the spin 10 stops for candy? (Bonus 3rd thing: What has Butterfree been eating lately?)


Hydrochloric_Comment

It might affect Giovanni? His second Pokémon is a fully evolved Sinnoh Starter.


Anonymausss

>Does the starter choice in the research affect the steps, or just eg different candy rewards? Still on early steps, but seems like it affects candy and also a shadow encounter reward of the mon you picked. >Is there (and should I clear my queue for) event field research other than the spin 10 stops for candy? There is, so far it was all Bidoof rewards.


jpierrerico

Also watch out for the Lake Trio in the wild!


stevotherad

How rare will they be?


ThereIsBearCum

Seems reasonably common. If you put a few hours into the event, you should find all 3.


MCPETextureEditor

Kinda sucks that you get just one Rotom encounter. I understand it's supposed to feel rarer but it's not even Meta relevant last I had heard so what's the point on gatekeeping it..


BufoBoofer

I'm just glad I can evolve my Butterfree to teach it Blast Burn


RandomPhil86

Anyone else not that excited for this Tour compared to others we have had? Apart from getting the legendaries with the moves & maybe a white stripe basculin. The rest seems uninspiring.


guy1138

Getting rock wrecker on shadow rhyperior is cool.


bookluverzz

Have you TM’ed away frustration yet?


128thMic

Yeah, I'm looking over those and feeling pretty blah. Most of everything there has been shiny-eligable for ages, if not outright boosted from events and community days. Throw in the lack of bonus raid passes like Go Fest, really starting to not feel it. I'm probably going to end up playing for the first four habitats, then call it. Maybe play a little on Sunday just to get more eggs.


kpofasho1987

Im pretty rural and I'm so tired of pokemon and items being exclusive or locked behind the party up feature and the route feature and also raids where you can't use remote raids. I play every day and a good amount and have even driven some good distances in hopes of finding people to play or a route I can complete that isn't too long or in rough terrain (have a knee injury so I'm limited) and I haven't had zero luck. I haven't been able to do a single party up research thing nor have I been able to do a single thing for routes so both researchers haven't been started. That's bad enough but when they have pokemon that you can't solo in raids that you can't use remote raids I haven't been able to do a single one of those either like the shadow pokemon for example. I know Niantic is pushing the in-person raids and I understand that and do think those that do in-person should get better rewards I'm cool with that. Make it so they get additional candy and/or stardust and do more damage all that I don't care but not allowing remote raids for those raids absolutely sucks a big one. Only reason I went on this rant is because I was checking out the info graphics and just saw that Regigas is seemingly only available through the party up thing. Luckily I've gotten some in the past so it's not the end of the world how it still sucks not being able to do that. All my bishin & moaning and it's not even including not being able to take advantage of the additional special trades and I'm sure I'm missing some other things I won't be able to do. My fault for the long rant but man I wish Niantic would seriously take in consideration the folks that are rural because we do make up a good chunk of the player base. Niantic seems to punish the rural players because seems like every new feature they have introduced the past couple months are extremely difficult for us. I guess my option so I can atleast do some things would be to get another device and create another account so I can trade and possibly do some of the raids. For the party up stuff are you able to do that with just 1 friend for a total of 2 players or do you need more? Thanks in advance and my bad for anyone that read this book haha 😄 Edit; just realized the white-striped basculin is on routes. That's one I really want. God damnnnniiittt


brizvela

Are bonuses like 6x special trades and exclusive move from evolving active from Saturday 10am until Sunday 6pm? Or are they “off” after 6pm Saturday and back “on” Sunday 10am.


Hydrochloric_Comment

Moves start at midnight, apparently.


Teoes

Praying for a day off from showcases.. edit: RIP.


xShuusui

Which featured attacks are to those to focus on?   I'm not all too well informed in this regard yet


guy1138

For pve, garchomp and rhyperior


madonna-boy

we should pin this


Darkalom7

Is their special moves are available now in New Zealand, if we use remote pass raid?


TheBigFatToad

Increased shiny odds on the eggs, I’ll believe it when I see it lol. I expected one or two more spawns to be boosted, but I guess 5 species boosted is good


WolfGuy77

So only the starter Pokemon are shiny boosted in the wild?? Is everything else 1/500 odds? If that's the case I don't think I'll play for more than an hour or so. I mostly just wanted to shiny hunt the Pokemon that are annoying to shiny hunt in the Switch games.


Due-Source9386

Never knew Butterfree could learn blast burn 😂


PrimalPokemonPlayer

Ugh, routes? I still don't have a single route anywhere near me.


Steel_With_It

Wait, so they lied about the guaranteed Dialga/Palkia? ... Aww, I was really excited to get one for my 'Dex. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have trusted them after they lied about *everything* in Hoenn Tour.


kenkickr-790420

Would have been great of them to just NOT give us anymore 2k eggs during this event since that is all I've received this week. Oh wait that means we have to buy incubators so I see what you did there Niantic.


book_of_armaments

I'd rather have a 2k than a 5k.


MrMints256

Except Mime Jr. will be in 2ks this weekend, so that’s exciting for non-European players!


omiimonster

what does choosing your partner pokemon do?


einfallstoll

The Unowns spell SINNOH and HISUI. Cool


Basicazzwitch

If you trade O-Palkia and O-Dialga, will the special move be included?


zurcn

trading as so far never changed moves. that is "if" trading is possible but luckily we've known the answer since last week https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1asldzk/can_anyone_confirm_if_traded_dialgao_and_palkiao/


potato4peace

The feeling trio were all visible on my map and I got a shiny mesprit- was this not a part of this?


Ok-Cryptographer-919

Can you get multiple rotoms or is it just the one from the research


bookluverzz

There’s only one from the research right now


MrClovvn

I saw a video saying encounters with the Regi’s, not just Regigigas. Can anyone confirm that at all?


jderm1

On the second last slide it says Butterfree gets Blast Burn instead of Typhlosion loool


Maxcolorz

So only stunky is gonna be boosted in the wild? Not hisuian qwilfish or voltorb?


Hydrochloric_Comment

Starters and costume Pikachu are also boosted.


Maxcolorz

I know that but what I’m asking is, is it really ONLY stunky that’s boosted? Not the other new shinys?Or is this graphic just wrong


Hydrochloric_Comment

Oh! Yes, that is the only new one that's boosted.


PugglePrincess

Is incense boosted while stationary?


TheOriginalButcher

definitely not


troccolins

LeekDuck does it again!


ScottaHemi

basculin only on routes... fun i've never actually seen any spawns from the one i have...


themellyhippo

How does the rotating habitat work?


Hydrochloric_Comment

Every hour, wild spawns and raid Pokémon will change based on the current habitat.


FunctionNo3838

If I haven't completed the last research involving Giovanni, will this new research be available to me?


astrono-me

Free raid pass?


No_Relative_5234

Wished you got extra raid passes. Can't afford coins lol


supervegeta101

Which time is which habitat?


Weird-Friendship7538

Will Aura sphere be available for Lucario? Just hatched a hundo 😎


BingoBob_1

Aura Sphere is always available for Lucario. It's not a special event move for it.


Weird-Friendship7538

Really? Thanks for responding in a non condescending way


Scp-1404

How about a link?


flycasually

do dialga-o or palkia-o get any exclusive moves?


genocyde_syo

Are unown permaboosted or no?


ToBecomeOne

Anyone know if traded origin forms keep their special move? I don’t do many trades so idk if that’s a thing or not. I’m regretting my choice and hoping I could trade with a friend who made a different choice than me


Edocsil47

They keep their moves. Moves don't change when traded.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JannikAtticus

Did it still have frustration? Unfortunately even with an extra attack slot the event attack goes into the first slot and frustration still blocks that one.


Keyblade_Yoshi

Yep you are right that was definitely the case.


TheOriginalButcher

sadly the legacy moves via evolution can only go into 1st charged slot and if it knows frustration it won’t learn it at all despite having a 2nd move unlocked


Ornery-Ad-2692

I'll be working on Sunday ~~my birthday~~ but it's good knowing that it's until 6pm!


SimplePhoenix

What 5* raids are spawning before/after Sinnoh tour hours?


ginji

I see shadow arti and gira here before the event


terp02andrew

Are the evolves for Legacy moves a hard cut off at 6pm local time?


Fair-Procedure-5257

What are the raid bonuses and extra candy for $5 on page 4?


Fr00stee

Anybody know if spiritomb is in research tasks from stops like shedinja was last year?


True_Jellyfish_1985

how does the party play regisgigas work? just start a party and you can encounter it in the wild?


ObviousSherbert

Has there been any announcements on Spotlights during global? I’m cleaning out my Pokemon storage to prep for the event and it’d be nice to know if I should hang onto XXL.


Hydrochloric_Comment

It's origin Dialga and Palkia, apparently


Cactusfan86

Do we know if Hisuin starters will be shiny boosted in their respective raids?  It was snowing on typhlosion day so I didn’t get one


JellyBaby42

Does anyone know what are the hatch bonuses from the paid ticket?


Kinggakman

I did not realize they made it even harder to get the regionals. That’s the only reason I even want to hatch eggs.


thatcher47

How do I get the research? I had tier 1 and chose dialga last weekene but it disappeared and hasn't shown back up yet


BlueSkies5Eva

If you buy the hatching ticket add on, do you get 1/4 hatching distance? Since the event features 1/2 hatching dist and the ticket does as well? If they don't stack im not buying it ;-;


Schootingstarr

Oh damn I wasn't even aware that the event will feature elite attacks! Really cool, I have so many stores up pokemans that need evolving!


Pirhomania

Are the Origin legendaries a separate Pokemon from the base Pokemon (like Giratina) or is it an energy thing like Megas?


ThereIsBearCum

Separate pokemon.


fbc15

So for the eggs are the gonna be shiny boosted now or only during the event? I noticed that a 2km egg I got has the Sinnoh Tour Pool already, and I wanted to know if I should hold off on any more spinning.


biophys00

So are both days exactly the same?


zzzpotatozzz

Do we know what tasks to look out for to get spirt tomb?


bookluverzz

https://leekduck.com/events/pokemon-go-tour-sinnoh-global/


Troutburps2

Has the Road to Sinnoh timed research been extended? I could have sworn it ended tonight (Friday) and planned my raids accordingly. But, now it is showing two more days.


Juckli

Do we know the odds of getting the opposing legendary mon's event move? How much time do we got to finish the Diamond/Pearl research? Forever or only this weekend?


kpofasho1987

Per the slide with the special moves Butterfree can learn Blast Burn! I know they meant Typhlosion but a butterfree with blast burn is what I want now haha


kawaiinessa

what are the odds of getting an adventure effect if you didnt pick that version


ThereIsBearCum

100% as far as I know. All origin formes (both Dialga and Palkia) I've caught have had it so far. Edit: just got one without it, not 100%.


AvatarAarow1

Hey does anyone know the rates of having the special charged move for palkia and dialga if you chose the other version? I chose dialga initially but now kind of wish I chose palkia, but if I’m unlikely to get one with spatial rend idk if palkia raids are worth


Tanuki1414

Is it boosted shiny rates for just selective Pokemon?


Any-Picture5661

I've done a few remote raids and not got the special move. Is it a glitch or no? I did pick a path.


MansonMonster

leek.gg/rotom


rohit11coc

What are the best mons to evolve for the legacy moves? Are there any good ones apart from Staraptor, garchomp,rhypherior?


MCMultyke

Is the 6 special trades bonus active from midnight or do you have to wait until 10 am?


blue_green_orange

origin forms can be shiny?


SirChumpALot

Are the Origin Raids shiny rate at 1/20 or 1/10?


TheDaveWSC

Wait so am I understanding correctly that general spawns are NOT shiny-boosted? Normal 1/500 odds or whatever? Uhh what's that about? The whole thing of Go Fests is getting lots of shinies. Why else would I bother?
