My sad prediction is that we are all going to figure out dynamax does nothing for us, and with Niantic failing so hard the past 2 years, the game will implode. Hope I’m wrong.
@@edmondYJ I have seen XXL Falinks win fighting showcases, also seen people have success with Makuhita and Bewear. Falinks is nominally longer than Machamp is tall, so it can be a toss-up. The Fighting type has a lot of potentially large pokemon but no true definitive "big one" like Onix, Celesteela or Wailord
Best thing about that Raid day is that there is no pressure to actually free up time to do it 😂. When Lucario Raid day was on, I was indifferent about it at first, because I already had enough shiny Riolu from the hatch event as well as two 100% Lucarios, but then the extra bonuses on rare candy XL got me fired up. This time, there is absolutely nothing to look forward to.
Totally agree with you on this one. I did a couple of raids on my way to groceries, did manage to get a shiny fairly quickly and got some free raids in which is nothing to complain about. But yeah, for a raid day this just seemed like a terrible idea. Just for the sake of EXP and Stardust seems like a very underwhelming argument aswell since the EXP and Stardust is generally also there for stronger Pokemon. Looking forward to the Legendary Heroes event, hopefully we get something amazing.
Well, the event just finished an hour or so ago in the UK and it was a fabulous washout where I'm based out of (the North West of England). Incessant rain meant most people stayed indoors, so unless you were in a major city center you were pretty much running around in umbrellas scurrying from corner to corner. My kids and I did go out for the final hour and did a few, but it felt pretty 'meh.' I mean, Falinks looks a fun pokemon, but this raid day had nowhere near the excitement level of the Mega Rayquaza Raid Day. It felt more like a Raid day suggested by an intern that everyone said 'Sure! Why not?'
80% of people gonna say, "Count is being too negative" in this case he's not as its criticism and honest opinion, this raid day is 🗑 anyways, it's a useless meta pokemon, it should've been Zacian or next month for Zamazenta
It was one of the galar Pokémon released in 2021 alongside skwovet and wooloo. Theyre releasing those shinies in the wild so they needed a way to release the falinks shiny, thats why they've done it.
Is anyone else getting fed up with raids, where you defeat the beast , then cannot claim the Pokemon, irrespective of how many excellent throws you make . It’s basically a SCAM . Avoid Raids
I’m sick and tired of the animals of the Pokémon go community always being “yes people” and just accept everything and then complain when we have valid critics 😅
I think Niantic is just seeing what the numbers are for shiny hunters. This has to be an event where they are taking a look at numbers. It’s a test, but can’t really guess for what
I'm ok with Falinks being the raid day mon. We've been back to back on medium to larger events with comm classic day - beldum, battle weekend/battle championship, and upcoming comm day - popplio. It's nice to get a breather with a lower key event that we can casually play. For the USA, it's Labor Day weekend. Between family & friend events, traveling, work, Pogo comm day, it's a lot. I'm relieved to not have another thing to be sure I get to specifc X place at Y time to meet the local community and grind like crazy especially if it's going to be hot outside.
This kind of reminds me of the Mega KangasKhan raid day. Useless ‘Mon but it was a shiny. I may or may not bother with the raids, depends on if I am busy. I certainly will not be blocking off time for this though.
I like this added to do trades for candy and XL candy. But like you said, this Pokémon is not too good for holding gyms, or battles. But Great Pokémon to catch and trash.
it's a nice shiny and can be done for free and easy to do by yourself. not everything is about getting something for pvp. We are getting better events worth your precious time later on.
I'm really excited for this raid day it's a new and epic shiny and been long overdue a shiny release, once again Count like com days you can't expect them to do meta relevancy all the time 😏
I was so excited to see a raid day on the schedule. I thought maybe we'd get a new mega, like Mega Metagross (at last!) after Beldum Cday classic. Then I say the pokemon and I was just like, "Wut?" I wouldn't be surprised if some of my friends try to use some of the raid passes from this for Kyogre raids instead. I'll do my 7 free that I can do that day / weekend to try for the Shiny. Not buying the ticket for this.
I am down for just a easy raid day. I wont remote this raid. But just an easy going raid that i can listen to football (Go Bills) and just play sounds nice.
It just about the 💰 There is no way they could make money from this Pokémon ordinarily so they are hoping that people want the shiny enough to pay the 💰
I'll solo using the free tickets, but yeah, falinks is soooo boring to pick as a raid day. It has been out for a long time, plus it has been out in the wild for several different events. The release of its' shiny is not enough to make me go out and play hard for it. Honestly don't care even if I don't get the shiny during the raid day, because I know there will be plenty of opportunities to catch it in the wild. Plus with this being a Galar season, no doubt in my mind that there will be ample opportunities to catch to shiny outside of this raid day. This would have been an excellent chance to release something cool that might not be out in the wild, like maybe duraludon, would have been so hype.
Yeah, skipping this one since I am doing Mega raids this time around with Houndoom, Gardevoir and Absol. Plus I'll save my money for Zacian shiny instead.
I dont care about the pokemon itself but boosted XP and stardust will make it a worthwhile day! We usually share eggs and starpieces in my raid parties which is nice
They don't always pick pokemon that are worth it. Almost all of the hisuian raid days were pointless in terms of meta relevancy they were just to get the shinies, so it's just another one of those raid days, nothing special.
If its a soloable raid I'll go do one. Otherwise I'll skip it and use that money for better raids in September. Good luck to those shiny hunting though
I've been playing since I was a child I have never stopped a day in my life (actually games first obviously this wasn't around when I was a kid) a shiny's is a shiny so I'll be participating period lol, especially bc it's been over 170 raids so far and no shiny nothing I haven't been able to get one since thunderous.
As an edit the very next raid I did was a shadow riakou had to drive an hour and a half away to a place that had a community and I finally broke the curse and got a shiny from it!!!!
We just had falinks featured earlier this year as a bonus spawn during the dragon event. If this just about the shiny then it should have just been a regular shiny introduction in an event. Its such a meh raid
I would if I knew the shiny odds. But of course it's a big odd so why would I waste my mula when kyogre and mega absol is coming out soon?? I would've done the shiny in like an egg encounter. Raids? No way 😂😂
Stupid to set the bar with the last raid day to have guarantee XL, and not do the same with this one. At least with guarantee XL I would still applause any garbage raid boss they give us
I think Falinks is lame, I have always felt that whenever I first caught the thing. However, I think the event will give a lot of XP with the ticket and lucky eggs. It also can be done solo, so I will personally be participating. But, if the raid day was someone like Dreepy that would've been a banger.
I would like get the shiny ✨ other that bad choice them not going remote raid it either wish make shiny ✨ Galarian bird think really draw big crowd for that be best move.
I kinda thought it was useless as well. I remember them being all over the place and I have enough of them JUST because they got in the way of the Pokémon I wanted.
You are too negative again, man! They give us 5 free passes and with increased shiny rate, we may get a shiny, which, otherwise, would be very difficult get one in the near future. I will do just five, and have fun within that limited expectation.
Boosted shiny odds, on a brand new shiny dropping. There is no reason to skip this unless you don't care about a new shiny. It would be super annoying to try and get this shiny from GBL only. My 10-12-15 Falinks per Pokegenie is 95% for PVP IVs so you can get useable IVS, even if its not rank one. It will be in 3* raids so you can solo it, and its not elite raids so you can do remote raids. This is seriously everything I see idiots on the internet whining about except its not the most relevant pokemon. Here's the strategy for pokemon you should keep. Get a good IV one, one that's good in PVP and get the shiny. If the pokemon is only going to be good for PVP then the good IV's and PVP IV's can be the same one to save bag space. or just get the shiny for trade and keep nothing else from this day. Why can't people just be happy they gave us something to do and what should hopefully be a free shiny for everyone.
Niantic are screwing up my shareholder value 🤷🏻♂️ Who would buy a ticket for this fail? Niantic needs smarter employees in order to increase my shareholder value. The CEO must leave.
I personally love an easy Pokémon to take down on a raid day
Galarian Birds for raid day would’ve been amazing!
Niantic would have sold many raid passes
@@PurdueRox13 Even if it's still that 99%+ flee rate? Which you will technically be catching with a glorified Pokeball. lol
@@alpha0090 Touché.
My sad prediction is that we are all going to figure out dynamax does nothing for us, and with Niantic failing so hard the past 2 years, the game will implode. Hope I’m wrong.
Bonuses for this should be 8x stardust & 80% more XP plus 2 guaranteed rare candy XL
Agreed, I'd raid the shiz out of Falinks even if it's just guaranteed 2 rare candy XL truthfully
Only use I can think of for Falinks is that it's relatively large, so an XXL has the possibility of winning a General Fighting-type Showcase
Terrakion/ Machamp are much bigger
Do you know what's biggest fighting type pokemon?@@edmondYJ

Showcase.....another useless feature
@@tonyfranco6155 🧢
I am going to use this day to get the last two gyms in the city gold. This will get a ton of progress on them. I love it.
Its not even worth the free daily raid pass
😂😂😂
Suuuuure
But I like Falinks…
@@sanswich3375 enjoy the day!! Great shiny 😃
why am i more interested in that than a 5 star raid day? oh yeah because i can solo that
Well, I have to win 16 more raids to hit level 41, so.... I'll definitely make use of it😅
If it drops xl rare candy like mega lucario did it might be worth the time

90% will just complete all the free passes and call it a day 😅
I'll raid until it sparkles then call it a day 😁
@samodonnell6220 hopefully you get it with the free passes, best of luck to you ✨️
@live2lift392 thanks and same to you ✨️
As long as no one buys the raid day pass. As much as I would love the stardust yer na not worth it haha
How did you guess my plan! 😂

if they slapped a little hat on it I'd imagine the community wouldn't even be complaining😂😂
Falinks with a little hat? I'm sold
@@Seblak i just thought a little cowboy hat on him and i need it
It’s… basically a shinny hunt day. After you get shinny, you can stop anytime.
It would’ve been better as a research day
Niantic found gold by giving XXL rare candies per raid in the Lucario Raid Day, yet they decided to use stone.
Stardust. Xl candy. Easy to farm with people. 20 remotes to farm stardust.
80% of people gonna say, "Count is being too negative" in this case he's not as its criticism and honest opinion, this raid day is 🗑
anyways, it's a useless meta pokemon, it should've been Zacian or next month for Zamazenta
We can’t expect them to do zacian or zamazenta. Maybe in 2-3 years for a raid day
Agree but Great to get more candy.
it’s a good shiny
idc about the “meta”
It was one of the galar Pokémon released in 2021 alongside skwovet and wooloo. Theyre releasing those shinies in the wild so they needed a way to release the falinks shiny, thats why they've done it.
Watchlist gets killer moves and is actually good. I think it was a wild spawn at one point. So I have a pvp stat one so.
Imagine the backlash if this raid day happened a month ago? Its best fast move is Counter, which thankfully got nerfed starting tomorrow.
Will plsy up the raid pases for the ticket then do something else
Is anyone else getting fed up with raids, where you defeat the beast , then cannot claim the Pokemon, irrespective of how many excellent throws you make . It’s basically a SCAM . Avoid Raids
I might do a few,but I'm more annoyed about ponyta community day than Fairbanks
I had the same reaction. “Huh??”
Another 🗑 raid day brought to you by Niantic 😅
I’m sick and tired of the animals of the Pokémon go community always being “yes people” and just accept everything and then complain when we have valid critics 😅

You can’t spell falinks without fāl.
gotta catch em all!
Not worth a raid day. They should have released it during a research day. Don’t get why a dex entry ( one and done ) is worth a raid day.
Could we stock the free raid passes to use it in another day?
theres not many pokes that I really dislike but this thing has always creeped me out lol
Free rare candies atleast, won’t pay a dime tho, but when I saw the raid day pokemon I burst out in laugh. 😂
I don’t know, I might do the free raids just to see if I get the shiny.
This kind of reminds me of the Mega KangasKhan raid day. Useless ‘Mon but it was a shiny. I may or may not bother with the raids, depends on if I am busy. I certainly will not be blocking off time for this though.

I might still do it just because I am disabled and theses help us lv up.

Dope vid Count and yup not invested in this raid day
I'm really excited for this raid day it's a new and epic shiny and been long overdue a shiny release, once again Count like com days you can't expect them to do meta relevancy all the time 😏
Hopefully the buff this thing!!! I thinks it's a fun one!!
Ya and are we gonna get banned or suspended for doing to many raids?
It would be great if he could Dynamax! But they forgot to mention.
I loved falinks (cuz in german it's Legios and it sounds so smooth) but nowwwww
Ehhh
Falinks is still cute but no one needs it to fight
I was so excited to see a raid day on the schedule. I thought maybe we'd get a new mega, like Mega Metagross (at last!) after Beldum Cday classic. Then I say the pokemon and I was just like, "Wut?"

I agree. I am disappointed!! Only hit it with free extra passes. I won't waste my passes on it!! You have a blessed nite brother! 👍🏽✌🏽🌴❤️🌴🇵🇷
Been insta transferring these for years from PVP rewards
I am down for just a easy raid day. I wont remote this raid. But just an easy going raid that i can listen to football (Go Bills) and just play sounds nice.
Absolutely ridiculous but nothing surprises me anymore with their bs
It just about the 💰
There is no way they could make money from this Pokémon ordinarily so they are hoping that people want the shiny enough to pay the 💰
I wouldn't be surprised if the next raid day would be something like skwovet
Personally, I like Falinks, and excited about the shiny. But I agree, kind of a lackluster raid day. I'll be playing though.
Count this vid is amazing, you made a good video for this raid day! 2/10 event

I just hope that this means that falinks will STOP being the only reward for winning 3 out of 5 pvp battles. That would make the day worth it.
Hopefully we can remote raid Kyogre and get the bonuses on that
you can, but needs to be different area
I hope to use the extra passes for 5* raids.
They don't always pick pokemon that are worth it. Almost all of the hisuian raid days were pointless in terms of meta relevancy they were just to get the shinies, so it's just another one of those raid days, nothing special.
Wow I'm so glad I long stopped playing this game all together,great idea for a raid day event 😂😂
I’ll just try to not spend money and as soon as I get the shiny, I’ll be done.
Rare candy XL and shiny is all
Bro that’s what I’m saying it’s seriously the dumbest raid day in existence wtf
I am just hunting for the shiny ✨
Xl candy chances might be the only thing worth it lol
If its a soloable raid I'll go do one. Otherwise I'll skip it and use that money for better raids in September. Good luck to those shiny hunting though

Pretty sure i only need one shiny and i will be done for day 😅
God forbid folks just want the shiny.
We have been getting shiny costumes that can’t evolve for years and you can trade for lower ivs. Just saying.
A useless raid day but hey look a new shiny, they will make sure majority will only get it after 20 raids
i just want the shiny then im done
This guy has drop his negativity after he got his shundo background
I'll be getting the ticket to grind the xp for lvl 50
