I just noticed that I misread the duration and it runs TWO whole months! As someone coming off a 10 day war, I cant imagine doing that! Let me know what you think though!
Allowing Mysterious Balls deflates the event a little bit, but highly incentivizes consuming these items en masse. It's going to be the most effective way to sink Mysterious Balls out of the game which will ultimately be a net positive for the economy in general. So much PokeYen is tied up in these as investments, it will be awesome to see it liquidated at scale. Even if you missed that boat, more liquid PokeYen will be good for everyone who sells stuff on the GTL. Also, more quasi comp mons from these mysterious balls on the GTL for dirt cheap will make breeding for raids a lot easier.
@SolomonWordcraft true! It definitely discouraged me from signing up for the event however as someone with over 100 of each ball, I'm very excited to cash out on the whales 😅 excited to see how teams like Mr hold up against the whale culture of the chinese community
@@JinxedBoon Lol, time will tell. Do we know which shiny mons are possible from the available mysterious balls, and has anyone checked them against the tier list yet?
@SolomonWordcraft the high tier ones would be things like charizard, aerodactyl, sceptile, and salamance from cherish balls. Shelgon, chansey, staryu, and glaceon from the great/ultra balls. And then premier balls are just a flat 50 points since everything is alpha in them
i dont think the mysterious balls will be as bad as everyone thinks, most of the ones you get in the balls are like tier 6-4 and i doubt people out there are going to spend tens of millions to pull a shiny cubchoo or something. theres also a finite amount of them on the GTL and arent limitless. if you could pull a bunch of tier 0 mons out of them then id agree
@desoIate I agree that I think it'll just be an advantage but not majorly. Cherish balls have a lot of high tier though with charizard, sceptile, aerodactyl and a few others
honestly i dont see mysterious balls being a huge problem. the team that goes hardest is going to win. 2 months of shiny hunting with like 4 teams being full team mr, the mysterious balls will make a tiny dent into this competition. it also comes down to luck too obviously, someone could pop 10k premier balls and get nothing.
That's totally fair! I'm really curious to see how much of a role it plays. Only one way to find out! It'll be crazy to see multiple tean Mr teams going at it and I'm really curious how the English community holds up against the chinese
@bilboswaggings0 I think the wings are super cool! But yeah 2-4th place prizes are reeeaaally bad 😅 Also, just to clarify, the event is run by mods not devs.
@ShinyUnknownOT I'm curious what you find infuriating about it? Is it the mysterious ball thing, because I totally agree lol. I think a lot of content creators are really excited because it seems to be that most CCs are mainly shiny hunters and this is the first event for shiny hunters. Personally, I'm not too big on shiny hunting but I'm happy that they have an event for them! Even if it has a lot of flaws imo.
@@JinxedBoon a huge time commitment and a huge gamble for an okay prize. you have to have 25 committed people too. and better odds for people who have copious amounts of money. and sure... maybe it is fair game for the rich to get better odds. but this is not a massive event when 99.99% of shiny hunters are gonna sit this one out.
@ShinyUnknownOT that's totally fair. I guess I'll view it more like I view apex legends or league of legends pro tournaments. It'll be entertaining to see who the best of the best are, but it's definitely not interesting me to participate.
cringe. making shiny hunting content instead of fixing any real problems with pvp and ignoring the pvp community. have fun running around in a patch of grass all day guys.i guess the devs dont listen to their players
Shiny hunters have never really got any official events before, so I think this is great for them, even with the kinks in it. Pvp players get consistent tier updates and extremely frequent tournaments, so I'm not really sure what you are on about with that.
@@JinxedBoon we are still missing hidden abilities, missing raids, no fairy types. Arguably half of the unobtainable legendaries should be usuable to help balance our broken ass meta. we’re all waiting and being patient and having faith in this game we all love AND then finally we get an update and it’s a shiny hunt update/event …. It’s a huge slap in the face. Pve and goofy causal stuff is always prioritized over pvp in my opinion from the devs/creators. And content like this that pushes that, hurts the part of the game I care about. You telling me that jellicent moving from UU to OU is an update? A pokemon were already using in OU …? Most pvpers don’t even play the UU tier. Tournaments are not new content. If you actually pvped even a little bit surely you would understand why saying that as a counter point is ridiculous. The only meaningful pvp update that’s affected anything in 6 months + has been dugtrio ban.
@Cheefsosa696 raids aren't pvp my dude. I also do pvp. Even though I am not participating in this event doesn't mean I can't be happy for those that are excited for it. I agree with your points that there is a lot of work to be done to the continuation of pvp however, shiny hunters literally have never had an official event supporting them. The only thing cringe here is you telling people how to play the game.
@@JinxedBoon raids are definitely a pvp patch. It’s implied we’re getting hidden abilities through the mons in the raids coming out. I’m not telling anyone how to play the game. I voiced an opinion on devs and content creators promoting goofball content that indirectly hurts pvp. you clearly don’t pvp like that and care more about being right than anything I’ve actually brought up. Like I said in the first comment, have fun promoting running around in a patch of grass for 16 hours a day man.

Thank you for making this video so early 🤠

So halpy to see u post onew u would but dam first one to mention it lets gooooo

if you could pull a bunch of tier 0 mons out of them then id agree

This seemed like a great event until i saw the mysterious balls part , im not taking part in this at sll rigged for whales
@GoddamitJmie same however I will be abusing the whales and making a crap ton of money off of them
honestly i dont see mysterious balls being a huge problem. the team that goes hardest is going to win. 2 months of shiny hunting with like 4 teams being full team mr, the mysterious balls will make a tiny dent into this competition. it also comes down to luck too obviously, someone could pop 10k premier balls and get nothing.

Budget Team Gold wars tbh
Hii can i join the team gold? I'm a veteran player with 530+ hours in game experience
@00_Toji_00 unfortunately team gold collapsed 😢 some bad people ended up getting in and broke it apart. 💔
Imo mysterious balls shouldn't be part of the event, makes it kinda pay to win
@Combusken3012 totally agree. My team pretty much lost interest at that point unfortunately. At least it'll be a great time to make money!
duuudde im so f** hyped
The most obvious yen sink/ rw money grab ive ever seen 😂
Insulting rewards 😂 done with this game and the greedy lazy devs
@bilboswaggings0 I think the wings are super cool! But yeah 2-4th place prizes are reeeaaally bad 😅 Also, just to clarify, the event is run by mods not devs.
@JinxedBoon fair enough I'll be back when raids drop super burned
\o/
this event is mildly infuriating. it infuriates me more that creators think this is a 'massive' thing. lets be a bit more honest, shall we?

Devs are the ones doing all programming and gatekeeping code. This event is hosted by mods. So its misguided hate imo
