WHY DID POKEMON GO NOT DO THIS? FREE Zygarde Cells / Lunar New Year Event 2025

[@eyedeerman]

Niantic really doesn’t care about quality events anymore

[@WompWompWoooomp]

Niantic decided to wait until after Halloween to debut Sinistea, so 🤷‍♂️

[@vegeta8598]

Bro this event is worse than fashion week.

[@RHall1]

That is a pretty high bar but unfortunately you are correct.

[@yeseniaadames4389]

I actually like fashion week 2025, I've gotten some shinys from it, including my dream shiny, a shiny female heracross.

[@shearnos]

@@yeseniaadames4389 that’s not from the event though?

[@yeseniaadames4389]

@@shearnos yeah, but it's cool.

[@TheBetterMythical]

Yeah but the lucky trades are gonna be crazy!! Also dratini and darumaka spawns are insanely helpful too

[@nathanplays7082]

The only thing im excited about is the free 10 zygarde cells im not to far away to get 50%

[@VQuinn-he9rv]

I need about 40 more to get to 100% so I appreciate that! And more lucky trades.

[@dhruvshukla280]

Im just waiting for the event where lucky trades odd increases on best friends trade.. did the increase the old mons trade limit? Anyone? I am hoping to swap shiny legendary for lucky roll

[@cedricgant8535]

Pretty skippable tbh. I only need shiny Daru wish that was boosted

[@sunshinegamer5807]

I'm hope they increase guaranteed lucky limit during the lunar event but they didn't

[@Axecon1]

Trash event

[@yeseniaadames4389]

Hey, I'm excited to get a shiny Ekans.

[@WhiteLightningGames]

Terrible event 😂😂

[@VQuinn-he9rv]

@@yeseniaadames4389me too! I caught one (and named him Rayquaza). I want another to evolve. And those zygarde cells sound good to me!

[@near3d945]

They have less than 100 non legendries/mythical/paradox pokemon to release. No way they will release 9 new pokemon in 1 month.

[@justacouch7799]

Damn Niantic doesn’t care about Pokémon go anymore there events are literally so much worse than how good they used to be

[@brocklee9202]

They refuse to release Silicobra in the wild. That's why they didn't introduce it. They've already put Shroodle and Rookidee in eggs and knew how 'unfair' or rather, ridiculous, it'd be to put a third Pokemon in eggs so soon, and refuse to toss us a bone so, they'd rather not give us anything new. Giving us shiny boosts of Pokemon most of us have more shinies than we know what to do with, throwing a hat on a semi common Pokemon, and introducing a new mega, to Niantic, that's spoiling us, so they had to put their foot down, obviously.

[@TwiceSmittenOnceShy]

They absolutely should have either had Zygarde 10% in raids, or let us trade our existing ones at the very least.. By the time Kalos Tour comes around next year, power creep is going to make Zygarde nearly useless.. If Kyurem ends up having Ice Fang added to its moveset to solidify it as an ice attacker, Zygarde will be eaten alive!

[@josephberrios8982]

I've always said Zygarde should've been in raids. Just like deoxys had all its forms in raids, zygarde could've been raided for. And just like megas, if you beat it fast enough determines how many cells you can collect. Man I should've been working for Niantic 😆 🤣 😅

[@TwiceSmittenOnceShy]

@ I’d be completely okay with that! I’m so tired of them dripping content to extend the life of the game; beyond the point of making sense.. By the time they provide full access to Pokémon like Zygarde, its shelf life will have nearly expired by then.. Just wait until Zacian Crowned is released! Every single one of these dragons will be completely irrelevant..

[@oliverwilkinson5773]

Honestly am soooo close to leaving pogo am getting sick of gen1 rubbish or locking everything in eggs or raids

[@dhruvshukla280]

💯 agree

[@azmusic2000]

Yeah, they have not done a good job on spawn selections for a while now...Sliacobra should have been introduced in this event and Seviper should have been included

[@BrunoAlmeida-cm7yt]

Snake pokemons deserve more quality

[@ravengamingxyt504]

Niantic could of put Sevipernor and or Arbok for this event

[@Beakrat]

In the wild?

[@ravengamingxyt504]

@ yes, also misspelled to say seviper, but yes they appear in the wild sometimes plus it fits perfect with the lunar new year event

[@Beakrat]

@@ravengamingxyt504 ohh that makes way more sense Seviper should be in the wild

[@nokturn882]

I will be doing this just for the zygarde cells. But whoever planned this event , really dropped the ball.

[@gabzpot]

I just got my 100% Zygard. Start to collect for the future shiny

[@Shonufff88]

3:00 10 cells won't help if you already fully evolved it and have 250 cells in your inventory 😂

[@yourlocalmetagrossfan]

Snek

[@brentrice4742]

Pass on this event 😂

[@Alan2ez]

guys i work at niantic here is a road map 2026 mega metagross 2027 mega mewtwo 2028 dynamax zygarde + shiny 2029 arceus 2030 ultra necrozma 2077 good game changes like pvp revamp from tappy tappy system to what it actually is like in trailers, more things you can do remotely and less fraudulent practices

[@nelsonparsifalcantebury5083]

Arbok is my favorite Pokémon. I’m happy but man are they dropping the ball. 😊

[@VQuinn-he9rv]

I like the zygarde cells and the lucky trades aspects

[@bobthebuilder5213]

So many people just cry so much all the time in these comments section is hilarious.There r so many good events from gallade to ho-oh to dmax legendary birds and new pokemon & shiny boosted ones to hunt too.Some people can never be satisfied

[@MikeXeno365]

If you got people thinking your events is skippable maybe you're doing something wrong

[@shearnos]

i’m not sure how gallade was good, ho-oh is old and it’s not apex, dmax will be unobtainable for most players. one mouse again isn’t all that exciting for “new pokemon” and shiny boosting a single pokemon released a decade ago isnt anything to call home about

[@bobthebuilder5213]

@MikeXeno365 if every event is the best,none is.They aren't highest but they aren't bad either

[@bobthebuilder5213]

@@shearnos how gallade was good🤔,idk bcoz it was new maybe? Ho-oh has a raid day not a raid weekend so more shiny odds and a shiny shadow hundo is way rarer and way more worthy to hunt for.For Dmax pokemon is just u gotta git gud,for rural players they should introduce remote raiding.Not everyone is as piro as u,not everyone has all the shinies in the world.Also if every event will be a banger,none would be.Highs and lows is what spark excitement.

[@MikeXeno365]

@bobthebuilder5213 no one is saying that they need to be the best they need to be worth playing which they're not. Mage Gallade was nothing special if you already had better Megas and Unless you live in a populated area non remote raids are unplayable so there goes all that hype

[@traviseland5694]

Do you answer people on twitter?

[@dhruvshukla280]

Hi lifting sir, could u please confirm for the current year did they add old mons traded become guaranteed lucky... Like previous it was around 15or/20 guarantee old trades..just that 2024 ended did they announce of old mons trade limit increased?

[@liftingandzombies]

don't think they have done this yet

[@dhruvshukla280]

​@@liftingandzombies searched youtube and got this confirmation.. Trade a pokemon caught before 31 dec 2018 and it will be guaranteed lucky trade . And the limit is per player 25 guaranteed..however they forgot to increase the limit this year end

[@shaokahn9487]

And I just completed my zygarde 😤

[@KatrinaVoshell]

I might not do the hatching part, but the rest seems cool. I definitely need Zygaurd cells. I think I have like 3, lol.

[@bobthebuilder5213]

Lifting during the lunar event,max battle day is happening.Sandaconda could most probably feature there since it's the only Gmax ground type pokemon & will be very helpful in taking down zapdos and moltres.Coincidence? I think not.

[@arf3433]

What do you mean by this? We already have dmax drillber and excadrill for dmax, and ground is useless for flyers like the birds

[@arf3433]

It’s be a cool gmax but we really need a rock type😢

[@bobsponge8539]

What? Ground type does almost no damage to flying types because of how type match ups work. We're you thinking of the rock type?

[@bobthebuilder5213]

@arf3433 ground type is super effective against fire and the only counter against electric and sandaconda is the only ground type Gmax and since it's the year of the snake it fits perfectly but no use in talking about that now. Niantic announced Gmax kingler

[@bobthebuilder5213]

@arf3433 true we really do need a rock type

[@jaimeabaya6728]

I was expecting Silicobra😢😢😢

[@gwrduck]

Could have Therian form Enamorus

[@geraldcormeraie1009]

0 interest for me... the $2 ticket - most likely 3 euros - isn't worth it as I have over 20 eggs in my inventory (level 50) and the spawns are extremely uninteresting. I do not have Shiny Nosepass or Evans but those low odds makes it not worth it either this time around. I'm happy about the Zygard cells though!

[@rosagiusti7076]

Ooo another event I can miss...nosepass!?! Honestly

[@emoinkling1597]

I need a new zygard

[@xzombie_king19x11]

Sad that this game has become what it is today 8 years later Still only spawning pidgey in the wild lmfao The first game boy version of Pokemon was more advanced than this sad excuse for a game. Everything in Pokemon go is limit this, make this weaker, make this cost 1 million stardust smh

[@ShadyRK9]

Why is Darumaka in this event? Of ALL Pokémon?! Its so out of place next to all the snake Pokémon. Also WHY Nosepass out of all the Pokémon in eggs?! Also really Niantic? No Silicobra? THERE WAS A SNAKE EVENT RECENTLY IN SCARLET AND VIOLET THAT WAS BETTER THAN THIS LUNAR NEW YEAR EVENT!! 💢 (It was an event that featured Shiny boosted spawns of Silicobra, Ekans, and Seviper between both the main game and the DLC!) ✨️🐍

[@VQuinn-he9rv]

He says in the video it’s cos it’s red.

[@SlimShadyVro]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@taguro1006]

Niantic employees are job slackers 😭😂 typical dei hires

[@deadmanfan1000]

All events are trash now at this point, thanks to Niantic

[@technomad9071]

another egg waste

[@deadmanfan1000]

Trash, guess I’m chasing Darumaka and Gyarados

[@joelgorsev]

This year has been so boring for events so far The new year event was good but that's about it
