Me personally I had a blast with my friends. We mostly did raids, wish that I skipped the altered Dialga and Palkia raids to do more stuff like
1. Hatch more eggs
2. Do more routes for basculin
3. Skip Wednesday raids and catch Lake Trio from the wild instead
4. Do more field research
5. Turn off Go Plus+ when not raiding and shiny check everything
Did you get what you want? If you could Roar of Time and come back to last week, what would you do differently?

>3. Skip Wednesday raids and catch Lake Trio from the wild instead
​
if i knew this id still have 3 remote raid passes, gotta be the only thing id change.
Would have taken a snapshot of that only uxie I found
i got 3 origin giratina, 1 reg dialga, 1 origin dialga, 1origin palkia, i got a shiny Uxie from the snapshot missions but i didn’t see any more so i couldn’t finish that quest line, i did the go rocket missions and got shadow regigigas. i wish i got more shinies and at least one 4*
Do Mega Garchomp raids in the morning before Go Tour to get Earth power.
I just realized that on Monday
Chose Pearl instead of diamond
actually play the tour.
(i had lots of personal events till the point i wasn’t able to play the ENTIRE event. yes, the entire 10am to 6pm for 2 days.)
I spent the whole week-end with my children, saturday i did let the Go+ make all the work and sunday, i was in a place with just one stop and very few pops so… hire a babysitter ?
Not spend money on it
What’s the deal with Basculin? Why would you do more routes to get it?
Not use passes for Azelf on Wednesday and use those on Dialga and Palkia. For the rest I had an amazing weekend, but should’ve upped my item bag so I could have more pokeballs.
Forgot to do the Mesprit encounter after taking the snapshot, luckily In caught 2 from raida
Waited to do raids untill the last day. Wasted (at the time) my only remote with a Palkia on saturday, before I unlocked the “catch Palkia” task
I got caught up with the raids and didn’t evolve everything I should have. So looking back, probably that.
Definitely skip lake trio. Caught shinies from wild and not raid anyway. L for pokemon folks for setting up their raid 
I would have reallocated all the rare candies from raids go to Palkia instead of dumping them into Scatterbug.
I’d hire a better writer or editor to make some of the stuff more clear, like it wasn’t a guaranteed encounter with your choice legendary depending on the path you picked, and the wording for the Regi’s challenge. I was super disappointed all I got was two Regigas encounters when I still don’t have a Registeel yet.
Get more lucky
Buy green raid passes in bulk, knowing now how many raids I would have to do for spacial rend
Get palkia instead of dialga because spacial rend does more for me than roar of time.
Wait, so Basuculin was spawning because of the routes SO and I were doing?
I would actually participate and not schedule a weekend long event that would prevent me from playing.
Id save all my incubators for the weekend so i dont waste them on the 2km eggs
I didn’t take any pictures of Uxie and Azelf. I didn’t find the third one. There were so many things going on that it was hard to keep track. I did raid a lot and had fun on Saturday, Sunday I only did 3 raids and relaxed. Caught some nice random shinies though!
I wish I did more preparations, I used up all my balls on the first day and barely even do anything on the second day.
wish i didn’t live in a tiny town. nobody plays out here, and i couldn’t do raids because of it. i really didn’t get much out of it:(
Have less work?😂😂😂
I wish I would have focused more on the Hisuian spawns since they were some of the only Pokemon shiny boosted during this event. The first day I was a lot more spread out across the day and I wasted a lot of my time and energy on Pokemon that were full odds. The second day I prioritized my time and energy by only really focusing on habitats with Hisuian Pokemon and Origin form raids.
Pick Palkia instead. I would get so much more use out of spacial rend
Definitely leave small raids before everyone bales with 1 second wasting my remote raids
1. Do more palkia raids. I only got 1 palkia out of 2 that I raided
2. Party quests. Was playing with my friends and didn’t know I could get regis
3. Routes too
Only do altered forme dialga/palkia. I got to the use roar or ages or whatever and realized I needed to do altered forme raids and was out of raid passes without the budget for more and have one more quest I’m not going to complete
Not go to work
I would used my only remote on dialga, the only dialga raid I could complete (phone died before I could get to a charger during one) started at 6:01 ish and I got a origin dialga with Draco meteor despite picking diamond, and it was 10/10/12.
I got 2 palkias and one of them was 10/10/14 so that’s cool. Can’t mirror trade with anyone I know since they all don’t have a ROT dialga due to picking pearl or not raiding.
choose palkia
Possibly participate. I live rural so the extent of my catching was in a walmart parking lot 😂😂
Cleared more space to hold more Pokémon. I spent so much time transferring old Pokémon in order to hold more new ones
save passes on azelf and use them on dialga
I could have got my partner to get a spare Spacial Rend Palkia to exchange for a spare Roar of Time Dialga.
Got Azelf over the weekend in the wild or through research without using a remote pass.
Finally, I wish I knew you could not transfer origin form Palkia and Dialga to Pokemon home.
Aside from that, I’m happy with how the event turned out.
Personally and this is on me. Stop while I was ahead in raids. It took me 50 palkia raids to get a shiny. I got a 15/14/14 like my 4th raid and went on to try for better and shiny. Long story short didn’t get better and my shiny was a 2 star.
On the bright said I now have a lv50 palkia with the move. Can’t complain. But yea I guess less raiding and more shiny checking. I wasn’t able to go around much this weekend sadly so I did with what I could.
>Turn off Go Plus+ when not raiding and shiny check everything
Go+ grabbed me a H-Growlithe and H-Qwilfish but lost 2 Turtwigs (grabbed at the exact same time I did) and an H-Sneasel. Learned my lesson in time to turn it off and not lose an Eevee but the Turtwigs hurt. Went 0/24 on legendary shines in raids this week, so I definitely should have focused on shiny checking spawns more instead.
I struggled to get into two last minute remote Uxies Wednesday for myself and my bf who couldn’t play that day, so was super bummed to get them so easily this weekend.
Other than that, we had a great time being outside all weekend and meeting a ton of local people raiding. We live in a suburb with a usually small/quiet community of 15-20 players, but ton of people were out this weekend so we never had to remote into any Palkia/Diagla which was a pleasant surprise!
Would keep Routes on forever. Apparently it didn’t matter if you started the route or not, as long as you were walking in the vicinity of the trail, Basculins would keep spawning. In fact, I was able to stretch this out even after the Global Tour had come to an end. I was still getting Basculin spawns today walking along the route. I really really wanted that shiny Basculin.
And do more field researches, I got a Hundo Qwilfish and a Hundo Gible off of them. Could have probably found more if I kept at them.
I think the event was poorly communicated.
Chose pearl and did raids on the 24th. Got a very good O palkia WITHOUT special rend because the story hadn’t progressed. Very few shinies as well.
Actually make friends to do some raids because it’s just me now who plays my brother used to but not anymore 🥺
Assuming that I cannot change the outcome, I’d play it *less* hard. I played all day and got 4 shinies out of hundreds caught, and all of the Palkia/Dialga’s I got were crap IVs. I’d have gotten one each with the moves and saved my money.
Spend more money
