Pokemon were running away too fast when using incense, too many team rocket grunts (no shadow shiny boosts so idk why they spammed them) that made it hard to click on pokemon, pokemon kept overlapping when spawning in.
Yes was very annoying trying to click on an unknown and kept getting stupid team rocket.
Same. Also, I didn’t get a single shiny
Yeah it sucked
@@trapperjohn6089 yup, me either, not a single one, didnt even appear. A pokemon would appear, I click on it, and poof, it's gone. While others, just wouldn't go away. This go fest sucked.
@@arieljaquez5444 yea this is probably the worst one for Pokémon spawning in my opinion I only got like 3 or 4 shinys this go fest and they just wanash when I clicked them
My biggest issue is the fact that they charged $15 for this event. If they would of charged $5 and the event was the same, I think a lot less people would be upset. $15 for a very small shiny boost and nothing else just seems like a scam based on what people expected to get for $15.
Did you know they charged $15 dollar for 2020 go fest and most other go fest before it above $5, just because they made it $5 once doesn't mean they should forever especially since they have to make money. Also I think a lot of people are forgetting they are getting August finale event ticket FOR FREE if they bought go fest ticket which they announced for August finale ticket, it would cost 10.99USD. This basically means Go fest has 3 days if you bought the ticket compared to 2020 only having 2 days. People are just getting spoiled due to covid era and are now realizing what pokemon go was kinda before covid-19. For christ sake they even announced the remote raid passes ticket were reduced price when they were release and now that they're bringing the price a little bit more higher everyone is complaining it's honestly a spoil baby moment for most people.
technically, 18 free raid passes an exclusive pokémon and research and whatever shiny odds is more than $15 but the event in general just suck
Yes I agree with you!!! 😊
u poor?
bro 15$ W. Rth it from r me I got 123 shiny on go fets
The thing is that not a lot of people can get plane tickets hotels and all those accommodations to go to an in person Pokémon event!! Globle players are basically getting punished for it which is sad to say
I agree with you You're paying for a shiny pokémon and if you're only getting one or two and two days of non-stop grinding it's not fair cuz you look forward to it I still took off work for 2 days spent a lot of money on raid passes food gas and I only got too shiny pokémon and all the glitches come on That's ridiculous why should we be punished for not actually attending something that is global they should make it easy that we all should be the same and if you're in person there's just one special major thing that you can get if you go there in person if you travel to it it's just not fair
@@debraphillips9588 because they wnat whales and only whales
also on top of the plane ticket, food and hotel prices you have to buy the ticket
I got 2 whole shinies through out the weekend. I really hope they don’t forget about the majority of players and only focus on the in person events for the minority of the player. Not everyone can afford a plane ticket to Seattle or Germany, or Japan
Thank you for saying this. It sure feels like that is the way it is going.
Yea this was painful
I got just under 50 shiny Pokémon and I played for almost the whole event
@@DarthCobalt55 how did you get this many I only got 12
I played casual hard. Got 26 over the 2 days
The incense issue was blatant. The Pokémon would despawn after 10 seconds of being on the map.
It was the rare and evolved ones that went away fastest too
I'm SO GLAD I didn't waste my money on this event. Niantic has let me down way too many times. As a free-to-play player, Go Fest was extremely boring. It didn't even really feel like an event was going on, and it's supposed to be the biggest event of the year!
I’m also free-to-play, I heard about the event and noticed a lot more Pokémon spawning and drastic weather changes but I didn’t realise you actually had to pay to get the event. It’s a scam
I think they need to have more in person locations for go fest. Since the only one in America is in Seattle (on the other side of the country from where I live) I’m stuck with the global event, so if they are nerfing the global event, they should add more locations
I do hope they keep the global GO Fest events since this would mean anyone can get involved anywhere + it'll be easier for travelling as well since people won't have to travel far if they don't want to.
Dear GOD no. What problem would that solve aside from you personally wanting to go to an event? Would it change any of the shit business models they've been implementing?
@@altruisticsloth More in person events would be great, I'm not sure why you're so against it. Clearly they have the money and resources to do it. So why not try to get more communities to come together?
@@SwagJaws not everybody can afford to travel. Even if they add more in person events global gofest events are more accessible to EVERYBODY.
@@SwagJaws You aren't wrong, more in person events WOULD be a great thing for players, but in order to have players that actually want to go to said events they need to fix their broken ass game first.
My go fest was honestly sad. I played from 10-6. Non stop raids non stop checking and I only got 2 shinies. I’m happy for the people who had finally got the shinies they wanted and the Hundos they wanted. For the ones who didn’t I am so sorry and I understand your pain.
Edit: I Dont have money to just buy a plane ticket to attend the in person go fest. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I forgot to mention my shinies of course were new for me (Bronzor and Doduo) I forgot to mention I also had the ticket and completed the ticket.
Yes, travelling to in-person go fests is a rich man's game, most of us don't have the few thousand overall cost for the trip, lodging, meals, etc. Making things "in person" only really takes away from the average players, in favor of the wealthier, and the "Niantic Partners" who get it all free and planned out for them.
Dodou was probably full odds
9 total shiny over the weekend, not as many as last year 😔
I only got 3
I got none and played all weekend 😻
@@coshmee same. best thing i got was a 100 IV Bellsprout but it's level 3🗿
I got nine but that’s more than last year
I only got 3
I got 19 shinies. I wasn't so much upset with that as I was the spawn timer on the incense spawns. Some seemed to disappear within 10 seconds. Also, Axew and Unowns were almost nonexistent from incense. I honestly didn't see a difference in shiny rates between the two days. They completely dropped the ball on their biggest event of the year.
I see lots of people saying this so I guess I got lucky considering I got a shiny unown B and shiny axew both off Insence haha
@@thomaskelly6678 Congrats on your catches! I did get a couple axew off the incense and a couple in the wild. But, I'm sure I did close to, if not over 90 raids. I managed to get 4 of them shiny. But, not a sniff of a shiny unown.
@@danielanderson6728 yeah I was with 5 friends and it seemed like I was the only one getting unown spawns haha. Even got the shiny unown on my second unown check. Best thing ever is that it was B which the shiny form released that day which makes it more rare
I got a million axes yet none of the new shinies, and I really wanted shiny shroomish, from the get-go they should’ve made shiny axes more likely to appear during the event because chances are you’re never getting a shiny axes after go fest since they like never spawn at all (I only got two before go fest the first one was from an egg and the second one was in the wild)
@@knowhatnot347 I think I had 4 before the event. 2 from eggs, 1 in the wild, and 1 from a trade.
5 shinies through the entire weekend and 1 of them was an egg hatch. Missed a 98% Kyogre because it wouldn't stay in the ball on day 1, and then caught a 98% Nihilego on day 2. Overall could have been worse but only 4 wild shiny Pokemon for the whole 16 hours with ticket seems incredibly low.
you got scammed 🤣🤣
@@michaeljimenez5756 everybody basically did last year 30 this year only 10 new
A friend of mine got 2 shinies in 2 days with a pass playing 80% of the time on both days
What I personally would change back is gofest in summer and not spring, when it's holiday it's much easier to play. I couldn't play the whole first day this year sadly
Funny enough, I wasn't able to play the first day either. Luckily the second day I was able to play most of the day and got 4 shinies. Not that great compared to other events, but hey, at least it was something. From what I heard, a lot of people got even less than that.
As a player in southern Texas, I would cry if it was any later in the day. Both Saturday and Sunday were over 95 degrees Fahrenheit and my group couldn’t walk at our local park for more than 30 minutes without risking heat exhaustion and dehydration. Niantic wants people to go outside more but in the same vein I had far fewer Pokémon spawn at the park than at my house with an incense and I kept getting kicked out of raids and having my game crash for lack of adequate cell service at the park. That plus 5 shinies over both days… not a fan of this go fest.
@@rachellazo1894 we kinda got lucky because it was hot for us but it rained literally hours before we had left
I couldn't play either day so didn't get the ultra recon research
Honestly, if Nihilego could be shiny the event would make much more sense.
Btw on my go fest I caught a total of 32 (19 on day 1 and 13 on day 2) shinies and sadly 0 hundos...
@@sparkzgaming5861 XD
HOW
The main issue for me is that this year a ticket to the Global Go Fest cost €17/$15, which is 3x more than last year, this year was worse/underwhelming. Compared to last year, we got a rotation of multiple legendary raids and a higher shiny rate etc, for a lower price. So the high price for a ticket this year wasn't justified for the things we got. The habitat hour spawns weren't too exciting, the raids were so-so, besides Axew, we didn't get event tasks from spinning stops, the shiny rate was lower, glitches with incense spawns ...
Last year, we got more for less (money)
THIS! And I hear a lot of the tubers reviewing now after the event, trying to justify Niantic nerfing the event because of ending of the pandemic, with the start of in-person GO Fests again and so on. But hey, if you gonna nerf a global event like this but increase the prise with 2/3, it's not that surprising the community will go off?? (plus for me the worst thing; the incense despawn bug that took away half of the whole experience this year, with all of the incense exclusive checks that just got lost!!)
Go fest 2021: 31 shinies
Go fest 2022: 6 shinies
I love this game, and have spent more money on pokemon go than any other game. It would be nice if we could recieve the same love back, given how much money we give niantic.
Same bro same
My favorite part about this Go Fest was Niantic trying to gaslight us into believing a major gameplay bug was merely a visual bug, then never doing anything to fix it for 48 hours.
Really feelin' the love.
I'm not buying the In-Person Ticket if they're going to screw us this badly and just get away with it.
Dude I only caught three shinys and I literally played all day at multiple parks. Really upset about that
The nerfes are acceptable if they add more locations (like other people pointed out). If yall remember the locations on the Cday in person events there was a whole list of locations, if they change the in person go fests to that amount of locations I wouldn't be mad if they removed the global one completely, but that's me
Caught 16 Shinies on Day 1.
3 on Day 2.
19 total. Didn't get A Shiny Numel, Shroomish, Axew, and Karrablast but did get a Shiny Binacle, Shelmet, and Girafarig so in happy! Wish I got more though! ✨✨
I got a shiny numbel Grimer klink 2 unknowns shiny Blaziken shiny infernape shiny rockruff shiny burmy shiny swinub shiny Groudon shiny steelix shiny bronzor shiny zigzazoon shiny muk shiny wheezing and a shiny eggecutor the tall one and regular one. Shiny Gyarados
We can't be saying we're spoiled. If we're paying money for these events then a significant boost should apply. Whether it be global or in person spending money on this game for special events like go fest should have a significant boost. All these UA-camrs who have the luxury to go and travel to these places is such a cop-out to say we're spoiled. The avg Joe don't have that luxury because we aren't all dedicated Pogo UA-camrs.
I got the ticket and I ended up getting three shinies on day one, niantic thanks a lot, but I got 6 shinies on day 2, could have been 7 but go plus sold. This event was terrible changing the rates from 1/500 to 1/499 doesn’t count as shiny rates increased, and day 2 needed more then just a new Pokémon. Last year’s was way better.
The increased shiny rate was supposed to be on incense. I bet the "incense bug" killed that, the despawned for many of us before we could event tap on them. I suspect further that many people who got a lot of shinies had something about their device or configuration that made the bug either not there or not as bad.
i literally got 2 shinies over the weekend. knew that i shouldnt have spent $15 😭
This entire event was just absolute dogshit, got 1 shiny in 16 hours, I'm never playing go fest again
That's probably because you didn't buy the ticket but I understand and respect that. It was expensive...
@@barczu6851 i did actually, the sad thing is that i went to work an extra day to pay for the ticket...
Day 1
played 8 hours walked 27765 steps
7 shinies
Day 2
played 7 hours and 80 axew raids
0 shinies
Best go fest ever!
This is my 4th and final go fest not buying a ticket ever again Niantic just knows how to suck the life out of this game!
I was literally so hyped for this event. I watched go fest 2020 and 2021 on UA-cam and saw those UA-camrs get so much shiny’s!! I was really expecting me get at-least 30 but I got 19 shiny’s instead and a Hundo larvitar. Not complaining but I really expected more. Hope the event in August will make up for this tradegy.
At 7:26. Sun is shining and you still get weather-bonus (rain) for the piplup.. amazing :D
Not planning on traveling to Seattle now for my first in person event. Why would I spend that kind of money to be so disappointed? I got a total of 4 shinies on the first day and none on the second. The glitch of spawning but disappearing Pokémon was heart breaking. Regret spending the money.
4:35 the music stops and all you hear the geese honking in the background laughing
I personally had a pretty good event, I went to Chicago with my gf to play and I did okay. I ended up getting 11 shinies on day 1 and 15 on day 2. I wish it would’ve been more but overall I had fun and that is all that matters.
Go Fest Report:-
No. of shinies caught - 0
No. of raids played - 4
No. of Pokemon caught - 237
This was the baddest go fest for me, in every special event I get atleast 2-3 shinies but during go fest 2022 it was no good.
Go Fest 2021 - 15 shinnies
Go Fest 2022 - 3 shinnies
Played both days - not sure about anyone else but I felt as if it wasn't that special this year. Did they change the shiny rates?
Really disappointed as a day one trainer.
i got like 20 shiny pokemons last year becuz i bought the ticket i didnt buy it this year becuz of how trash this go fest is i only got 3 shinysthis year
The phone throw was relatable for this whole event
This was my first go fest. I was so excited. It was so underwhelming. All my favorite UA-camrs had awesome videos from go fest and then when I played this go fest it was worse than December community day or johto
I’m talking about the UA-camrs past videos of old go fest
Exactly. felt like a longer community day.
4:49 lol wow, I appreciate the throwback!
Just got back into GO and remembered you from CoC back in the day and switching to GO when it first released
I think part of the nerf this year is the added finale in August as well
I didn't get a single shiny the first day. The second day, I got 4, but 2 were community day shinys. So not great.
During the first day, I got a hundo Axew, then got two shinies. I got 3 more the next day. I'm quite disappointed compared to how I've gotten 30+ shinies in the years prior. I got Piplup, Chimchar, Girafarig, Litleo, and Baltoy. I did have the ticket btw.
That’s really unfortunate I played all 16 hours of both days I got 40 shinies
@@ryanhaines5223 Oh wow that's awesome! What was your favorite catch?
I caught 900+ Pokémon and shiny checked so many more. I caught 5 shinies from the event and 1 more in a Kyogre raid. So 6 out of 1000+ checks and raids was far more disappointing than what I thought. AND I went into the event with already lowered expectations. I didn't go in thinking we'd have Com Day rates (1/25). I expected the 1/64 ish shiny rate (which would have given me about 15 or so (give or take of course). But I didn't even get the 1/125 shiny rate which would have gotten me about 8. Some of my friends in bigger cities seemed to do ok, but I didn't hear of anyone near me that was happy with the event. I was trying to get my friend back into the game, but he caught 0 (granted he caught far less than I, but still ... 0 is rough). I was ok, but if for putting that much effort and money into the fest (25$ or so after I expanded some storage and got some remote raid passes), I feel like I'd like to see more. This has certainly made me more wary of participating in the future. Plus, Niantic, Why are we still doing the best events in situations which require substantial means? For as much as they claim that this is a game about getting out and exploring and meeting people, they really mean "explore cities" and "travel to expensive destinations to meet people." And that's rough.
On day 2 rocket grunts should have pokemon that could be shinies with a rate of 1/56 and team rocket bosses 1/20. That would get met to spam rocket grunts like crazy but still realistically only end up with 2-3 shadow shinies realistically.
4:29 I lost a shiny karrablast just like that.. exact same.. almost did the same to my phone too.. I never got another one after that :(
yeah for playing the entire weekend i got one shiny - similar to a lot of the playerbase, i wouldnt exactly say we've been spoilt for wanting more than one lil shiny slakoth - hope this doesnt come off rude to you because i love ur content keep it up :)
It's a little ironic that your only shiny was a Slakoth. Kinda like it was snitching on Niantic for being lazy this year, lmao
@@JediMasterRevenantMADNESS omg yeah LMAO
I played and was very active both days except maybe 30 mins day 1 and 1 hour day 2. I got two shinies all weekend. A shroomish and a 0* axew. The go rocket grunts literally everywhere with no added benefit, quick despawns from incense, and lack of shinies made me extremely mad. I got like 19 shinies in the Johto Tour for comparison. Only saving grace was I got a hundo axew and larvitar. Pretty upset though. Glad some people got plenty of shinies though.
For what the GO Fest ticket costed, the event was underwhelming.
We had confetti for 16 hours and confetti isnt cheap
@@Danikyu Confetti? Who cares about them they already disappeard, however all the cool pokemon we didnt get, the shinies, etc. We miss them already, even tho they never existed
My issues with the weekend:
1) the known incense issue. I'd quick catch something and I'd come back to the map and there'd be an Unown or Axew, etc that would instantly disappear.
2) Abysmal shiny rates for most trainers. In our group of 7, I think I was the only one to hit double digits on day 1 and I only got 2 Shelmet off the new list. Day 2 wasn't any better...I didn't even hit double digits and zero of the new ones. I didn't figure on getting Axew, I get that would be tough but Karrablast? Nope. Shroomish? Not a chance. Numel maybe? Don't make me laugh.
3) Raid mix was hot garbage on both days. Too many Pikachu, and day 2 Snorlax barely showed and 2 Druddigon for the entire day and we had visual on over 25 gyms in downtown Indy. Way too many 3 star Alola mid evolution raids. Day 1 Kyogre and Groudon? Those are available outside Go Fest.
4) A couple friends kept getting bumped out of raids, sometimes it ate the pass, sometimes it didn't.
5) I played in one of the previous featured Community Day locations (White River State Park in Indy) and the added stops were stacked so close you couldn't catch anything spawned between them.
5) The general spawn rate was low. Had I not known it was Go Fest, I would have assumed I was playing on a random Thursday afternoon, NOT the "biggest event of the year"...Community Days have denser spawns. I would have been happy to get a couple rare spawns that weren't even shiny...Noibat, Goomy...give us 12k hatches in the wild (we got 1...Pancham)...SOMETHING aside from 2 regionals and 4 unowns (2 of which are the same we get every year)
6) Past Global Go Fests debuted new things...shadow legendaries, etc. We got 1 Ultra Beast this year. They gave us double radar components...WHY??? There was no reason for it. No shadow legendary available.
Overall, I know people who got 12 shinies for the whole event and played 16 hours. That is 5 1/3 current Community Days for $15 and walked away with low results for a single Community Day that we play for FREE. Niantic knows shinies are a big deal, they make the announcements about the new ones a big deal.
I understand nerfing the event, but don't charge as much. I had fun and enjoyed the new mons, and the Shiney mons, but wasn't much to justify the $15 ticket.
I agree completely
I wish they had more locations for in personal on go fest. I’ve never had an in person one within a thousand miles of me and I’m sorry but I’m not flying to the other side of the country or world just for a video game. But if there was one within my city I’d happily pay 15 bucks to do it
I didn't get 1 shiny😭
got 20 total (ironically all on day 1). the only good thing they did was make the incense super effective even if you weren’t walking around
Do you think the finale will be super hype to make up for the lack luster go fest?
It better be in this whole event me and my friends were walking around the whole time and only got 15 shinies total (There were 4 of us). And we all bought the ticket. For the ticket buyers i think we should get more than this
I’ve taken your advice of setting up tags into account. I’ve got one for Shinies, Hundos, Nondos, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, Legendaries, Mythicals, Ultra Beasts, and Megas/Primals.
Got only 12 shinies in total... got SIX shinies on day 1 and day 2.
HOWEVER, they were all new ones so that's at least fine with me
Also got 12, 3 on day 1 and 9 on day 2, even got the shiny axew
@@elyazlabrada6289 nice and I felt a bit more lucky on day 2 than day 1.. AND I played all 8 hours
Same
Damn, I got 44 Shinies and I only got Karrablast from the new ones -_- no Trubbish or Rufflet or Binacle or Galarian Darumaka either
Sorry to hear that
Ultra beast really aggressive even Giovanni, Arlo, Cliff and Sierra not capable to hold Professor Willow into hostage.
now this was my first po go fest but apart from the incense glitch and the low shiny rates i was still able to get 15 shinys and 3 98-100 axeus, over all i thought it was great.
I really appreciate your breakdown of future go fest’s and people being spolied. My biggest thing was the incense Pokémon running after only 2 seconds, glitch’s and yes shiny rates. If you going somewhere to grind 8 hours I feel people should have a better chance at getting 15-20 shiny’s. The individuals that only ended with less than 10 I feel got cheated 100 percent. Lastly, I disagree with global go fest being less than an in person go fest just because not everyone can afford to go to one go fest. Global gives people a chance to play without spending 100s of dollars to travel to said location. It would be great if they added multiple locations for in person go fest but who knows.
Less then 10 try 5 an 3 were already com day shinies. Oh yeah an my area had 2 axew raids in both days lucky my g/f got a few new 1s to trade me But ya i Felt Cheated 100%
1 shiny on each day, so brutal. Might not do events anymore…
I really regret not buying a ticket for the event that had the Shadow Kanto legends and I hold all events to that standard; this one definitely didn't compare well
I got a hundo shadow zapdos during that one.
@@s.willis8426 who?
@@coffeechloe645 During the gofest with the shadow Kanto legendary birds.
If Niantic are going to nerf all global events to supercharge the in-person events then they should REDUCE the price for the GLOBAL ones. I mean... Comm day cost a $1 for 3 hours.. :(
4 from day 1 - wingull, meditite, trapinch & magnemite & 2 from day 2 - burmy and an axew from a remote raid. Feeling completely ripped off as I am not a person that walks around much, but for Go Fest I thought I would go all out.. Literally played 10-6 both days except for short breaks in between. I got more shinies last year from my friends kitchen (and no sore body)
I surprisingly got more shines day 2 than I did day 1 (that being said I got 5 on day 2, and 2 on day 1) I played the entirety of the weekend…
For being on crutches, I grinded the best I could. 2 full days of game play, 3 shinies total, 4 new dex entries and my hubby only got 1 shiny (com day shiny) all weekend. We were very disappointed in this Go Fest 😕
It was rough because of the $14.99. CD don’t ask for that much and we got even more shinies… just thinking about it makes me mad
This past weekend my pregnant butt walked all of the zoo and botanical gardens, and I got two shiny Patrats. That's it. 37 Axew raids and nothing to show for it. I've gotten more shinies on a regular day. So Pokémon GO Fest 2022? Not worth $14.99. Hoping that the next few events and community days will make up for it.
This event was $19CAD, I thought the special research would have showered me with XP and/or items, but I was pretty underwhelmed... I dont care too much about shinies but I still wanted my money's worth.
It's nice on how when the ultra beasts are like in their egg form (like when they're about to spawn) it shows a wormhole instead of an egg. Pretty creative for the game I got to say. Yesterday I caught nihilego and my brother and dad caught it with their last Pokemon talk about luck xD. I think they're going to use this the next time when another ultra Beast releases in the game.
“He’s Kermit the Frog now”…”Look at all those chickens” “no no simply no!” 🤣🤣 thank you video made me laugh! My Go Fest was poor, not a single shiny minimal 3* nothing above, glitches, deflating day 2, just poor. New dude Rhi was interesting now just has too much to say, bring back Willow! Good viewing, thank you for taking the sting out of Go Fest.
At least tell us that it’s nurfed compared to in person events, I’m in the same place as mystic rn when it comes to the mindset, they did say the rates on day 2 would be lower but I got more on day 2 than day 1, love the game and spend a lot of time on it, was a fun weekend and the experience itself was all worth it!
We definitely are ungrateful 😂
Just think about that.
"We definitely are ungrateful". No. This is a _paid_ event. We are customers that believe they got oversold and are disappointed at what was delivered. A company selling me something is not ENTITLED to my gratitude. They are a commercial entity that charged me for a product. Disappointment on the poor return for my money is a perfectly reasonable response. You have the vector backward. Companies like Niantic need to be grateful to the customers that give them a billion dollars a year, and those of us sending them that money should expect quality in return, and are under no obligation to be "grateful". It isn't a gift we receive, it is a commercial product sold to us.
Just an example. If you got bought a new model car based on expectations set by the manufacturer, and when you got it, it was nowhere near as good as you were led to believe, should you be grateful to the manufacturer? Complaining about the item you bought would be wrong?
@@rhymeswithorange6092 I’m not really talking about go fest when i say that, more on what Covid gave us, I haven’t bought anything other than this event. We’re just ungrateful for the shiny odds and 6 hour community days and other bonuses we got.
A one way ticket to Seattle for gofest for me is around $800. If that’s how much I need to spend to get more than 10 shinies in a day for Go Fest. I think I’m retiring
It’s weird that people was complaining I caught over near 100 shinys playing in New York . But there was people in my group that only got around 6 first day . Somethings definitely off
You got more shinys on day two then I got the whole weekend so that’s cool
I spent ALL DAY of Saturday and Sunday out running around doing raids and shiny hunting. At the end of all of it, Welp, I got one shiny Pokémon… It was really below my expectations especially because I got like 10 shinies last go fest when all I did was literally stay at home and check every two hours or so.
EXACTLY last go fest i sat at home with an incense and got 19 shinies but this event I was out walking for the whole event both days with the ticket and only got 6
The shiny rates where...rather low this year and damn near everything was running away as soon as it spawned especially with incense
My only complaints was that mons were running away. A LOT! Axew being mostly in raids and not in the wild was kinda bogus
this was my first go fest and it was pretty underwhelming... i barely went out on the second day and missed a hell of alot of good incense spawns
Mad I had to work this past weekend. I always miss the weekend events.
Hey ty for reading the Rhi dialog. I just clicked through on the day because I was rushed but it's a good storyline.
Well if Niantic strategy is to make in-person Go Fest better and nerf the global Go Fest than they should really nerf the price for the global Go Fest if we are not going to get the same experience. It's only fair. They really need to balance out the price of the ticket to match the experience
I got 11 shinies over the weekend, only 3 on Saturday and two of which were more Spheal, which is a lot less than the 30+ I got last year during go fest and less than most community days. I wouldn't have paid $15 if I'd known the shiny rates would be that bad. Overall I'd rate it maybe a 4/10.
Rhi said you're the first human i see but he know professor willow
Which mean....
Professor willow is not human!?
7 shines day 1, 0 day 2 playing all day. Kyogre was hard asf to catch, missed a hundo kyogre on excellent balls every throw. Go fest was ass. My friend caught 0 shinies both days
The biggest issue is a successful event has a different meaning for Niantic than it does for the players. For the players success is in how many shinies you get. For Niantic success is getting people outside playing together. As long as that is the definition, people will always be disappointed.

Lmaoooo
Overall, go fest for me this year, the only go fest I ever played was a pretty good one. I don’t understand why people so much bad shiny luck on Sunday instead of Saturday because for me personally it was more of the opposite. I ended with 9 shiny’s on Saturday and 25 on Sunday. FYI my area isn’t that populated so there weren’t many poke stops nearby. Overall, decent go fest for being my only one that I ever played.
I did 8 nihilego raids my First one was a 96%iv the Others was 3 Stars but the Last one was a 98%iv
I understand the concept of the more expensive in person ticket equals more shinies/rewards, but it is hard to keep your kid motivated and feeling positive when they don't get a single shiny until 4 hours into the event on day one. My family lives in Ohio, there is no way we are able to travel to Seattle to play in person. We'd love to, but it is not possible. We all played the entire 8 hours, and my daughter ended up with 3 shinies for the first day. I only landed 6(Way lower than normal).My family spent a decent amount of money on 3 tickets plus shop purchases because the special box with the 2 remote passes and a premium pass for 250 coins was removed. We did a CRAP TON of axew raids on both days, and once again my daughter didn't get a single shiny axew. We were also going hard for rockruff as well and nothing. I know it is not all about the shinies, but let's be honest, it is a Huge part of why we all do Go Fest. Niantic needs to find a happy medium. Last year there were SO MANY community members out playing and excited to play. This year we spotted hardly any.
They can't justify making an "In Person" Event "Better" than the Global event if they are still charging for both. What happened over the weekend with the shiny rate would be justifiable and perfectly fine IF they didn't charge $15 for the ticket price. If it comes out that the In person events are completely crazy and the Global Event was nerfed Niantic is going to have an issue on their hands IMO. I don't feel that it would hurt Niantic even in a "Post 2020 Pandemic World" to keep the 2 day Global Event the way it was. I mean come on 2021 Go Fest was 10 times better than 2022 and it cost $10 per ticket less? I just don't know what Niantic's long term goal is here but I'm hoping that they have a plan and in the end after the August "Go Fest" bonus day we all look back and realize that we were jumping the gun a bit on how angry we are. But it's up to Niantic to make us feel that way. I'm holding off making a thorough judgement until we see what the 3rd day will bring because just like you said in the Video like I ended up getting 17 shiny's over 2 days and there are no other 2 day periods during the year besides maybe the December Community Day Weekend where that will happen. So I agree with you in your thoughts there and I think most people failed to think about there still being a day left because they sold the ticket as a THREE DAY event. But I can't justify In Person events being better than Global events when they are charging for both!!
so strange, i only got 6 shinies over the entire weekend and I went hard.. I dont understand how some got like 20-30+
Hands down the BEST UA-camr reading of the Rio Guy Script!
The problem is not everyone can travel for in person events. Also only got 5 shinies over the whole weekend despite having a ticket
I played both days even going to a zoo loaded with stops and gyms one of the days and still got no shinies whatsoever, felt pretty underwhelming considering the increased price point
I actually had better shiny luck on Sunday than Saturday - 15 on Sat (including the four hours that I had to work and had minimal spawns to catch) and 23 on Sun (walked an 8.5-mile loop twice for continuous fresh spawns)
Overall, I really enjoyed the event, found a lot of shinies that I wanted and were new for me, and was happy to have an excuse to go walking at one of my favorite parks! My only personal knock on the event is having it scheduled the same week as Memorial Day, since the holiday and my workplace being closed on Sunday meant that I had to work the other five days… but otherwise I loved it!
I mean statistically they boost the odds anywhere from 1/64 to 1/100 for these events, which is what it seemed like. The rates were poor because nearly 1/3 of the spawns couldn’t be shiny and they had so many com day mons. Poor decision making on their end.
You hit it right on the head. Hubby and I said the same thing. I didn't want to pay for the alolan starters we just had 3 months of that couldn't be shiny. Plus all the others that couldn't be shiny. The second stage alolan evolutions shouldn't have been in raids on either day.
I just got back into Pokémon go and I see this video. I’m like bro I swear I know this guy, then he said “I guess in a coc youtuber now” and the look on my face 😂😂
I did decent on Pokémon go fest. I got 10 shines both days, 2 galarian weezings, and normally I only get like 10-15 shines in com days. So I did pretty good for me. I also got a wild shiny axew.
I managed to get good shiny rates... this was my first year buying the ticket... I got 17 shinys day 1 and 10 day 2. It seemed like it started slow for me then started to pick up speed... day 2 was slow and the last hour I got 5. I played 8 hours both days with everything out... I feel like I did really well compared to others
I actually did better on day 2 shiny wise...granted I was not able to play for all of Day 1, but I still only ended up with 1 on the first day (Klink - new to me), while I got 3 on Day 2 (Patrat, Alolan Grimer, and Binacle, also all ones I needed). I managed to get Nihilego in my pokedex along with Torkoal. I thought it was pretty good overall considering I had other things to do and couldn't commit the days to playing. I hope that will be better for the August event and I won't be double booked over something else again.
I don't think its being spoiled to expect a good shiny rate for a $15 ticket. This event felt more like a $5 ticket. And I wouldn't say Groudon and Kyogre raids are great, they've been in the game so many times. Go Fest is about shiny hunting and the rates sucked. I was hoping for an event like last year and was extremely disapponted....
I got a total of 3 shiny’s and I played both days for the whole time. I even went to a mall that has the most gyms and poke stops in my area.
Dont forget that they give you loot in quest that is the equivalent of 25 dollars for only 4 dollars (yes the ticket is 15 but the final event cost 11, so the weekend only cost 4 dollars)
27 shinies throughout the 2 days plus 2 hundo Axew. Day 1 shiny rates were not terrible but could've been better. Day 2 shiny rates were way better. Heard a ton of people's experience was not good at all. There should've been more shinies released for GO Fest like Drilbur,Venipede,and even Skrelp would've been great shiny editions to GO Fest.
The problem with having only the in person go fest being crazy and the global ones sucking is that not everybody can play the in person ones
147 axew encounters and not one shiny... that was my experience very rivetting and fun
