    I feel like this change was a punishment for us keeping the spin distance from pokestops and gyms.

  4. niksjman

    Yep, that’s how I got my shiny Lugia and my shundo Articuno

  5. lazybandicoot

    I started playing at the worst time…

  6. Agent_00_crazy

    Yeah it’s kinda obvious at this point that they want to monetize legendary pokemon

  7. Mr_Wayer-

    Atleast yours can be shiny. I got Parasect twice in a row.

    I feel like they should go back to doing the monthly legendary spawns for research breakthroughs. I used to grind out the research to make sure I could get as many candies for a legendary during the month that I possibly could and helped with completing the Kanto pokedex

  9. I’ve gotten that furry jackass 5 weeks in a row.

  10. we used to get LEGENDARIES from breakthroughs?!?

  11. I was thinking exact the same thing!! What a waste

    To be fair, I think Pokemon Go for the most part was throwing out Legendaries left and right way too easily. They are legendary Pokemon for a reason, why does everyone and their mothers just have like 12 of them?

    A legendary should be something that is not easily obtainable. My opinion

    That’s just it, fam. Some people are acting like the remote raid pass was the only thing, but it’s been a lot, for a long time. The game is just getting worse, and it has been for a while.
    I quit because the pass situation, but it’s been this kind of stuff over a long time that has destroyed my interest.

    Nope, haven’t hit a year play time but getting a chance at legendaries just for logging in and using 3 berries a day seems dumb..Definitely devalues them

    At that point we didn’t get daily tasks delivered to us, we had to go out and spin a pokestop to get research.

  16. The_Eye_of_Ra

    That’s how I got my shiny Groudon and perfect Latios.

    As a member of this sub, how could I forget?

  18. Maserati777

    Yes, back before covid. It was a thing Niantic did to incentivize playing daily.

    Ashame they are only cherry picking the negative features to revert.

  19. themassmauler

    Yup, it’s where I got my shiny lugia from.

  20. xFlamePrincessx

    Parasect four weeks in a row. Behind livid

  21. NoNamePhantom

    I remember getting a shiny rayquaza from that. It was the first and last time i ever caught a legendary.

  22. FawntusNantus

    Idk why they made it stupider on purpose

  23. jedinatural

    I just got a goomy that’s just shy of being perfect 😑

  24. Nepeta33

    no. because i was a rural player back then, with no one else to play with. it could take me entire months to get one breakthrough, and then the legendaries were gone.
