Pokemon Go

Just got a timed research with Varoom encounter and an incubator



Did they mess up the shiny release back during the take over event?

    I got it too, waiting for more info

  3. glistening_viper

    Just got me a shiny so yes shiny eligible

  4. jbleming

    Got 1 as well. Haven’t seen any posts about it yet.

  5. AlexDB1226

    My guess is they probably forgot to turn the shiny on and this is compensation

  6. TheOnlyRainman

    I got it to but my son’s account did not for some reason.

    Edit: he doesn’t like like fighting the leaders and never does 12km eggs. So makes since as to why now.

    Just had a pop up saying it was because of issues encountering shiny varoom in 12km eggs during the recent steel event it debuted in. My guess is they forgot to turn it on for the first day or so, hence why it took ages to get a confirmation of shiny varoom.

    I got it and got a bang average varoom and an incubator

    So after dozens of 12km eggs for a lot of people with a botched shiny rate they give ONE encounter lol.

    I know it’s not very good but this is by far the easiest way to get a GL eligible revavroom.

    I got shiny Varoom during « steeled resolve », still got 3 encounters, thanks I guess

  15. ClownQuestionBrosef

    Just one regardless of how many 12 KM eggs one hatched, I presume?

  16. Everywhereisherenow

    Another massive rip off for me.

  17. Sleepy_kitty67

    Oh I got this too. I was like thanks for the gift but I couldn’t figure out why.

  18. Ok-Amphibian3745

    that’s bogus. 24 12km eggs picked up and hatched at that rate of 1:64 odds removed, hatched 6 Varoom of the 24. used all super incubators. sounds like robbery to me

  19. AthleticoBurrito

    I got 2 encounters. Not sure how they’ve worked it out.

  20. dasKruemel

    Was wondering too what that was. Didn’t even realize shiny Varoom got released lol.

  21. Ok-Amphibian3745

    and I’m guessing now that the take over event is over the Varoom is back up to full odds shiny?

  22. Random_Enigma

    I got this maybe a couple of weeks ago? Got a shiny Varoom out of it.

  23. LemonNinJaz24

    Lol. I find it funny because it’s another instance of people being suspicious that it wasn’t turned on or the correct odds for a couple days and others just shut them down for it.

    This is why posting verification or asking for verification is so important, even if it is boring or repetitive.

  25. Dense_Cellist9959

    Also got it. Too bad the Varoom wasn’t a guaranteed shiny, though.

  26. Horror-Examination16

    Thank you. I never saw that pop up, but saw the research completed

  27. PsyBomb

    I’m laughing that NOBODY NOTICED this and they made up for it fast, but the Enamorus Therian day was a debacle and they never did anything about it 🤣

  28. KingChiggy

    Oh man, the ONE TIME I actually get eggs for the take over event for the new shiny and they weren’t even turned on? Lol makes sense. At least the all hatched Pancham so I can’t be too disappointed lol

  29. bakedandnerdy

    Now I’m so happy I didn’t fill my storage with 12kms during the event like I normally do

  31. burnman123

    Hmm, I didn’t get it but I’m pretty sure I hatched 12 km eggs during that event

  32. SlayerOfTears

    Huh, wonder what the criteria is for getting this? Did you have to hatch a certain number of 12km eggs for it to register?

  33. runescapeoffical

    Hatched 12 eggs during the event but alright thanks for the 1 real chance lol

  34. SunChemical69

    I had my research but I didn’t get a shiny 😐

  35. swanny246

    I had this pop up for me https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1elga9q/what_is_this_research/

    But no timed research 🙁

    Don’t think I qualify anyway but still. Weird. 

  36. Evening-Trouble-9585

    I’m completely out of incubators, so this was a nice, but unnecessary, surprise. I didn’t get any XL Varoom candy so my Revavroom continues to go hungry.

  38. godsim42

    Sweet, i didn’t get this though. Picked up 20+ eggs during the event.
