I WON POKÉMON GO FEST!

[@Anthony-zm8of]

Love seeing people out playing GoFest with their friends, all my friends who used to play quit

[@profredz1363]

Same 😢

[@hillebumm8312]

Same but i still play got 4 shinys in total and one of my favs ever

[@stevenwonder7]

Yeah 😢😅

[@iMagnific3nt]

Same.. and living in a very rural area makes it hard af to find new people

[@thatdudewelove8498]

Same.

[@mikes9393]

I had an absolute blast doing Rayquaza raids and shiny hunting this go fest. While I couldn’t do one of the live go fest events, I did global at a very popular place and it felt great.

[@liannesiegel217]

I saw you all on the Pier! I was too shy to say hello but it was fun to spot you all. Love seeing the vids in my neighborhood. :D

[@Oobi666]

I ran into all of you guys that day and it was so cool to see you guys irl I was def awkward cause I was so hyped lmao

[@TheMostRandomEverything]

Got a SHUNDO RAYQUAZA my first ever shundo, go fest is so worth it

[@BecksFerro]

Definitely the best Global Go Fest yet! The whole weekend was a blast!

[@yvonnehorde1097]

You did not play 2021, did you? that one was brilliant. Better than anything else in the whole Pokemon Go world before and after.

[@9to5pokemon29]

@@yvonnehorde1097exactly!! 2021 was the best one all legendary Pokémon were released!!

[@Paintballpro18]

Honestly, this GO fest felt the most refined in a while. Both in person and global actually had good shiny rates, no major bugs for a very good portion of the 5 days (minus Verizon customers on Saturday afternoon park), and actually pretty straight-forward Global days without 20+ tasks you had to accomplish. It was simply catch all the pokemon that spawn once on day 1, then raid at least once on day 2 which focused on raiding (and even then, it wasn't a timed research). For me personally I don't mind a lot of quests, tasks, research, etc. but it also felt nice for once in an event meant for catching, to allow you to focus solely on catching.

[@hectorruiz7987]

I was one of those unlucky Verizon people on Saturday smh still had a blast though lol

[@GENERALBEAVER]

Nick! Thank you for the meetup in New York! Glad you are feeling better! KZbin best friend lol!

[@kirbyultra]

Shiny bingo with friends is the way to play global go fest! Great video

[@anamistica]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :) I played all weekend, all hours and with a purchased pass, I only got 7 shiny... pretty disappointing in this aspect, but I enjoyed being with my friends, and I was able to do several Raykuaza raids.

[@unluckylandon]

I was very disappointed. I know shiny aren't guaranteed but to only get 1 over 2 days after buying the ticket is frustrating

[@electrowave75]

I’m sorry to the two of you for the lack of shinys but in all honesty you make me feel better. I was the same, play all day etc…got 5 shinys Saturday and 7 on Sunday. I’ve racked my brain for years trying to figure this out. How the influencers get an insane amount of shinys, I don’t know. I play pretty hard too. I did mouth off to Niantic once so I’m thinking my account might have been de-throttled but who knows. I wish I could get an answer about this. I just rarely catch shinys in general and I play every single day of my life. It’s frustrating and at times doesn’t make the game fun when everyone else around you and on KZbin just obliterates you in shiny catches.

[@slayisbae6546]

Shinys are easy man just walk n walk b click through everything u see , catch everything u see

[@slayisbae6546]

@@unluckylandonu must just suck tbh 😭

[@hectorruiz7987]

If you can get someone to drive you around I guarantee you’ll get 15+ a day easily lol

[@MysticSpiral13]

Like the other videos, I used my Plus+ but I refused to look at my journal to see how many shines ran away. I saw the pain Tom, Zöe & Nick went through

[@z50king29]

We saw your group a few times in Santa Monica on Saturday! My nephew was too shy to ask for a picture, but was great to see everyone playing together again

[@forentaylor]

I’m so happy I found you again, used to watch you a loooong time ago, was a day one player and am returning recently(sadly days after mega rayquaza was unobtainable) glad to see you’re still making content and growing out the mane, I wanna say the last time I really played pogo was around Covid and you had made an announcement of some sort in part because of the pandemic, nonetheless I’m glad to see you’re still making content, keep it up

[@jakeberry5428]

Day 2 just finished here. 39 over the 2 days. I'll take it 🤝

[@poo11apr84]

I had a blast playing with people. Good for all your shinies but I know a lot of people including myself that didn't really get any. I think it's time to push back on the "improved shiny rate". We need more transparency on what that shiny rate really is. Especially for paid tickets, they need to post rates. I don't know why our community ignores this shady practice.

[@hectorgarcia-peguero6741]

Honestly sounds like a good idea I barely got any shinies even with the ticket we definitely need to know how much “improved” the rates are

[@officerfredrenz]

I got 3 and I played the entire time both days

[@ryancolegrove5994]

Nice to see y’all out and about. Santa Monica just too OP for events like this! Congrats to everyone on their shiny finds

[@Dr.SwagPHDinDrip]

I didn’t buy the ticket for the special research, but I got a 14/14/14 shiny rayquaza (shiny rayqauza was my first and most favorite shiny in the main series) which is more than I could ask for. I also got my first Heracross which is nice since I don’t ever plan on going to South America (not that I have a problem with South America, I just hate the heat)

[@ricardo-garcia]

rip bagon, you will be missed 🫡

[@easy.peasey]

60 shinies over the weekend. This was the best event yet. Had such a fun time with friends!

[@krisnahernawanriadi7946]

congrats nick !! i'm also having a blast with this year Go Fest, manage to catch plenty of new shinies and also i catch 4 shiny of the crown pikachu. definitely better than last year Go Fest for me🤣

[@nicwalker4452]

Can I just say that this years go fest was absolutely incredible, the best one we’ve ever had, the shiny rates were amazing, no issues at all, niantic well done 👏.

[@jakeberry5428]

The *only* issue I had was that the day 1 field research tasks had onix as a reward for the same tasks as Carbink. As someone trying to hoard as many Carbink XL as I can, that was a little annoying 😂

[@alittleplaceofwonder]

The only problem I had was the second day. I was trying to do Rayquaza raids and most of the Jim's had 1* raids

[@Salamander6969]

Agreed. Mostly. I had a couple of glitches day 1 but not enough to spoil the day. Although out with family both days I had bought the Global ticket and used an auto catcher and managed two Rayquaza with Dragon Ascent and enough energy to mega evolve the hundo 👍

[@joshyyoshi1691]

I must’ve had horrible shiny luck but I’m in Brisbane Australia the second Timezone to start global so maybe the rates where broken.

[@tamilynsmith1497]

Day 2 I got shiny snorlax then game froze when I was catching didn’t get it

[@sweetsoulrevue4547]

I realized.. nick dont have an nostalgia intro now with episodes, just like last time... Miss that intro..

[@_JaySho]

I bought tickets to NY Go Fest but was offered a job and decided to accept it. That new job had me working this weekend, but I bought a global ticket and enjoyed the last two hours, today. Only really wanted Snorlax and Goomy. I got the Snorlax and 3 different crowned pikachu. 8 shinys total, the others aren’t worth mentioning lol

[@ADAMATION2007]

I’m with Zöe…I got 15 the first day and 8 on the second day while playing the entire time.

[@jonathanvail9643]

Love seeing players work together and trade, raid, or battle for fun

[@r_dubs90]

I love these type of games/bets during com day or big events. It makes it that much more fun. I got 35 shinys on day 1 beating out my group with the best shinys as well.

[@Sarwet46]

in total i got 2 shinies during gofest which is enough to make me happy i didnt bought the pass for 15$

[@snowy1622]

I ended up going to Naperville on Sunday and got to meet Billy from the trainer club. Gonna slowly get to meet you all.

[@ImEcchi]

Love to still see people play Pokemon Go, I’ve been on and off because friends and family lose interest.

[@PaleoNerdist]

Yes! Met a bunch of new Pokémon Go friends during our play here in NYC!

[@Shiny_KingT]

Managed 157 total shinies, hitting every target aside from East Sea Shellos. Glad you had fun!

[@PlushiePoogle]

There's only 3 shinies I wanted from this. Heracross, Snorlax and Goomy. Didn't get the first two at all, did about 25-30 Goomy raids, got ONE shiny and it has almost the worst IVs possible. Played all hours of both days with incense. Not Nick finding one of my favorite shinies barely a minute into the video AND get an amazing shiny Goomy 🥺 Congrats, man!

[@19inchesofvenom69]

Did they lower shiny rates for people without a ticket, 4 hours with incenses and not a single shiny for me 😭😭

[@PlushiePoogle]

@@19inchesofvenom69 Yea increased shiny odds was only for ticket holders so without a ticket you'd have the normal, any day shiny rate (which I think is 1/500 or something?)

[@NathanCastaneda-q2x]

Checking in on you brother!!! Hope you are doing well. Please let’s us know you are ok!

[@lukasmihara]

I got one Shiny over the two days, but I didn't have a ticket, so it's something :) Day two got me enough for Mega-Rayquaza, and that's what mattered to me ^^ Anyways, great to see the squad having fun together on the GO Fests!

[@tjz_demon2015]

Worst go fest ever. 1 shiny and over 30 rayquaza raid but no shiny or decent iv.

[@Afiqrudzi]

"How you guys got so many" I like that one Zoe

[@StarkBeast19]

Awesome challenge! I also got 20 but that was the whole weekend! I gotta check out Santa Monica Pier for those crazy spawn rates sometime! Sheeeeeesh

[@BohemianHollow]

Ok, it really must be true that the more you spend on the game the higher the shiny rate. The sheer amount of shinies they are all finding is insanely high!

[@johnflapper]

I did the shiny change too! Found an alolan diglet, didn't want it, let it change into a Bellsprout (not the best, but better IVs than my previous two)

[@luckypasta376]

first year I've gone without gofest, would've been one I'd have enjoyed but I really can't be bothered with the game as much anymore. RIP.

[@rais.3817]

Come on back guys! You know if you start again, it's an automatic welcome back shiny😆 might as well try get a couple hours of free go fest play. You don't have to spend $ 🤷‍♀️

[@SickTwisted]

@@rais.3817an automatic welcome back shiny ?, are you fr?

[@rais.3817]

@SickTwisted maybe not anymore now... But yeah, it's known that if people take a break from the game and don't play at all for a while that when they start up playing again, they usually always catch a shiny within the first day because the developers know that's the way to get players excited and to incentivise them to play more and hook them back in. Odds would've been much high during go fest too, but probably too late now for the go fest rates...worth a try clicking only on pokemon you'd like shinies of whenever you do decide to come back

[@skilledskittles]

Was at the pier this week so fun seeing all people out

[@bravadious1]

Such an introverted goal, to not get the most shininess, love it

I'm happy that Nick got so many shinies. But I swear Niantic secretly increases KZbinr shiny rates to get us to play more. I did not get that many shinies yesterday and I paid the $15.

[@anthonyroa5903]

Yesterday while out for dog day in town the only shiny I managed was a shiny kyogre. I was so stoked when I looked back after the raid 😂

[@AngelPhoenixR83]

I purchased the ticket for the Global event and I found 14 shinies for this Go Fest. There were a lot of Pawniard and Hisuian Growlithe spawning with incense no matter the hour (at least for me) which was the only disappointing part of this year’s event…I was hoping that the spawns would rotate much more then they did via each hour.

[@goodwolf866]

This years go fest was about the same for shiny rates for me, a total of 10. Not too exciting and that was with a paid ticket. I was hoping for that shiny Rayquaza and Snorlax with hat but they eluded me even with the ton of raids I did. Good overall though! 😊
