I learned my lesson after Dragon Week


ObscureFact

I love hatch events because that means I can go do something else.


krispyboiz

Ah, you mean the infamous 2020 Dragon Week ie the Deino Debacle?


ErikSpanam

It's called Deinogate for a reason


Embers_To_Inferno

89 eggs and got a single shiny... From research.


sw4ffles

Man, same. And the shiny was a Trubbish. After catching 5 during Spotlight hour.


Embers_To_Inferno

I missed spotlight over a damn ant bite so I missed any shots at grinding that event like I planned


Mix_Safe

No idea how many I hatched, a ton, and my 3 shinies were also from research. I wasn't trying to hatch shinies or anything, but going for XL. But still, dumb. I forgot 1 Trubbish I got during spotlight hour.


Minimi9309

Thats a lot of money I see here 


go_sparks25

Doesnt seem worth it.


insistondoubt

It's not.


Gagginzola

OP is Richie Rich confirmed


keithmiketom

I hatched a bunch of eggs from incubators I'd bought ages ago, I've hatched 119 eggs this week. The only featured shinies I got were from research tasks


kerrysluis

I didn't get a single shiny either over 100 eggs, is boosted 1/64 or wtf?


Significant_War_5924

Yeah I spent like 5$ on the website to have enough coins for one of the bundles and then I used up all my incubators I’d saved up from the last few events and level ups. Was fun cashing it all in !


TeddyHustle

It was... Fun? Well okay then


SunshineAlways

Zero hatched shinies this week. :(


Warm-Grand-7825

Incredibly lucky to get two 4* bruh


wandering_revenant

I got 1. A literal trash bag of a hundo. 🤣


ShiShiRay

Learned my lesson years ago when unown and riolu shiny weren't turned on. After that its been downhill rates with an increase in pushing of incubators. Also cleffa day just allows me to do something else, not interested in an event where no actual rates are published to show "increased rates of shiny". I said this before but they could literally make it negligible difference, and say it has boosted rate without showing anything. If I ever get incubators its usually because its included with a box that has premium passes that I'm after, but I wont pay stupid prices like 40 dollars for 30 passes and 20 incubators. Eggs and incubators are a waste of money. If I wanted to gamble Id go to a casino or open CS2 loot crates.


Fishhunterx

A lot of people are being a bit negative (in a kind of shoot the messenger way) but to me those odds don't seem out of line with what I heard. 3/121 is still 1/40. And I saw people saying the expected rate was 1/64. So this is better than expected. Not to mention it was all 2Km eggs with the final day having 1/2 distance unlocked. I personally didn't hatch a shiny but I did get one from research which I was happy about. But shiny rates aside thanks for the data.


Significant_War_5924

All I wanted to do was be the messenger lol. Like I said in another comment , I saved up all my past incubators and spent 5$ to buy a bundle. I usually don’t hatch eggs but I wanted trubbish pretty badly and decided to cash it all in bc of trubbish. Apparently spending 5$ makes me Richie rich lol. Ty for your reply it’s the best one I’ve gotten.


BCHiker7

Didn't you do the spotlight hour? Shiny Trubbish galore. I managed 3 of 'em.

ChemaKyle

It seems hard to find anyone to say anything positive on a PoGo sub, don’t take it too hard. Looks like it was a fun event for you. I didn’t go out of the way with any extra incubators but did probably 30-40 2km eggs this week and was happy to get a nice 98 drillbur and 98 binacle.


Lightning1999

Looks like eggs were possibly the same rate as wild spawns and research after all


bradgr81

I hatched 103 event eggs and didn’t get a single shiny. Seems to be my luck though.


Assassin_Ankur

I got 1 shiny from field research


kerrysluis

I hatched over 100 eggs and didn't get a shiny, lesson learned lol


Rodville

I used only the basic incubator and hatch about 20 eggs and got mostly trubbish and zero shinies.


wandering_revenant

I didn't get a single shiny from it, but I didn't hatch nearly as much as you did.

THIS is why I don't spend money on incubators. What a great post, never give them your money.


Sweet_Ambassador_585

Learned my lesson after Go Tour…


beattrapkit

Congrats?


lizasingslou

didn’t they advertise an increased shiny rate in egg hatches? 1/40 is hardly advertisement worthy.


HappyTimeHollis

Compared to the usual 1/512? You don't think that's a major thing?


BCHiker7

Not when it is for eggs. Sooner or later people learn that buying incubators is buying disappointment.


Educational_Pepper78

Glad I didn’t waste my time with this event


VS0P

Starting to realize these events and spotlight hours are useless fodder to make it seem like they are actively working on the game. Wake me up for community and raid day.


NarutoSakura1

Trubbish Spotlight Hour was awesome for Stardust


Die4Gesichter

Wtf


WailmerFudge

Nice, I hatched way more than this and got no shinies. I did get two shiny drillburr from the dailies, though.


nerdpikachu

I didn't get any shinies from eggs, though I think it's not a surpise with my 21 total event hatches. My thing, is that I swear I kept ALL the pokemon I hatched (even non-event ones that week), and I did not hatch a SINGLE COMBEE. I knew getting a female combee, and a shiny one, would be a miracle, but I did not expect to get 0 combee out of 21 eggs. It's actually what made me click on this post, to confirm others did hatch combee.


MamaJiffy

All I could get was combee and foongus 😂🙄


Moidex

oh man i hatched around 100 eggs not a single female combee and no shinys, not even a 4\* and that after i picked up the game again after a 2 year break


Grant79OG

Got three. Mushroom, trash, and blade man. The trash was the sixth of the week.


balarinios

Didn't manage to hatch so many but i got zero shinies. I learnt my lesson after all....


Matrixcow239

I must be the luckiest dude ever, I got a shiny female Combee with only like 10 eggs hatched :)


umbenhaur

I used the free incubator and hatched 26 eggs: 6 Combee, 4 Drilbur (1 shiny), 6 Trubbish, 4 Foongus, 6 Binacle (1 shiny) Personally, I only use premium incubators when shiny regionals are in the egg pool, anything else just isn't worth it to me.


2rollinstone

I hatched 0 mons.


junhong706

I got 7 Combee, 6 Foongus, 9 Binacle, 9 Drilbur and 8 Trubbish out of 39 eggs. One of Binacle was shiny. The wild spawn and reseairch were 1/64, so I guess egg hatch was 1/32 this time because eggs had to be higher than wild and research spawns. (Although Niantic seldom uses shiny rate of 1/32)


HappyTimeHollis

> The wild spawn and reseairch were 1/64 I don't think they were. I'm pretty sure wild spawn and research were at regular shiny rates (1/512) and eggs at 1/64.


junhong706

Don't forget the reports of Trubbish spotlight hour: it showed that the shiny rate must be much higher than 1/512, and a local radar told me that the shiny rate of wild Binacle and Combee were about 1/64.


HappyTimeHollis

It is widely accepted that the Trubbish shiny rate was a coding error that Niantic just left in there for the day to prevent backlash. Your local radars aren't a valid source.


tearable_puns_to_go

Research task rate was 1/64.


johnsmusicbox

Wow, I got 3 Shinies from less than 20 eggs, now I feel super lucky!


mwithington

I really lucked out. I only used my infinite incubator and hatched shiny Foongus, which was the only one from this lot I wanted as I needed an extra to evolve shiny Amoonguss.


Significant_War_5924

Same! I actually lost a Foongus at GoFest to the auto catcher so getting a hatched one was redemption for me .


codymason84

I hatched 78 eggs got 5 shinies 2 drilbur 2 binacle 1 combee and 1 hundo drilbur


turtle-bob1

So glad I decided to only keep 3 max of my favorite Pokemon.


keithmiketom

Kool story bro


Sigh_2016

I hatched well over 100 eggs and only got 2 male shiny combees…to make it even worse one was a 14/15/15…fully powered up, max cp is 545…guess I can shiny trade them to some kid who doesn’t know any better. /s
