Croagunk are available from Field Research tasks, Raid Battles, Eggs, and in the wild this event, while Sudowoodo are available in Field Research tasks, Raid Battles, and in the wild. Tricky Pokémonįor this event, researchers are tracking Sudowoodo and Croagunk, two new shinies released for April Fool’s Day this year. These data provide substantial evidence to support the standard, unboosted shiny rate for these species (combined data have a 99% confidence interval around the shiny rate of 1 in 275 to 1 in 855). So far, researchers have gathered data on 3,133 Exeggcute, 3,211 Marill, and 3,133 Buneary, and have captured 9, 4, and 8 shinies of each, respectively. Spring is in the air! Researchers have a number of shinies on their “hit-list” this event, including Exeggcute, Marill, and Buneary wearing a flower crown! All three of these species are found only in the wild this event. This rate will continue to solidify as more western time zones enjoy their event and more data is available. Based on these data, the most likely scenario is that Marill is using a shiny rate of 1 in 10, a rate that has been consistently used for Raid Days. These data are still preliminary, but alone give a 99% confidence interval around the shiny rate of 1 in 6.4 to 1 in 14.6. Data is still rolling in, but so far researchers have gathered data on 324 Marill rewards and were rewarded with 35 shiny Marill. Using a Premium Battle Pass, Marill will appear after every win as a guaranteed Premium Reward.Īs boosted shiny rates are common in other events with a short time window, researchers were keen to test whether the same would hold true for GO Battle Day. During this window, Marill will appear as a guaranteed Basic Reward after travelers’ first and third wins. To celebrate the launch of the global top 500 leaderboard, a special event is taking place on April 12th from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm local time.

These data support the standard, unboosted shiny rate (99% confidence interval of 1 in 290 to 1 in 1,570). Researchers tracked 4,305 Wobbuffet encounters in Spotlight Hours all across the world, with 7 lucky researchers receiving a shiny. Researchers were eager to see whether this species might get a surprise shiny rate treatment as well. Wobbuffet (without a party hat) has never been available to catch in its shiny form in the wild before. Spotlight got a bit of a surprise this week, with shiny Wobbuffet making a special appearance. These data strongly support the standard, unboosted shiny rate for both species (combined 99% confidence interval of 1 in 365 to 1 in 795). Researchers have found 11,518 Illumise and 11,989 Volbeat since the event began, and nabbed 24 and 21 shinies of each, respectively. Data from this post will be restricted to Field Research Tasks and wild encounters. Illumise and Volbeat are also available from Field Research Tasks and in Eggs. These species are normally restricted to one hemisphere or the other, but for this seven-day event, travelers can find these fireflies roaming all over the world. The Buddy Up Event features two new shiny Pokémon: Illumise and Volbeat. Now more than ever, we hope you are all staying safe out there on the Road. We’ll keep the newest and most relevant information at the top of the post, with past events shown below for reference. To simplify the jobs of our volunteers, we’re going to be combining our research on shiny rates during events into a single article for each two month period. Happy Spring, travelers! Like the rest of the world, the Silph Research Group headquarters have been a little hectic this past month.
