Valentine event, part two

So the Valentine event has been running for a couple of days.

Without tracker maps we can now conclude that most players will never even become aware that chansey had its spawn rate increased, because most players will never see one during the week long event.

It's spawning at maybe double or triple the rate of snorlax or lapras, which isn't nearly enough for a casual player. For those with trackers? You'll catch chansey in the double digits, which should help immensely for completing one chansey (and evolve later into blissey). If you're farming, maybe a second or even a third one.

Fifty chansey, with the associated closer to 400 candy, is doable for the hard core farmer.

The rest of us will grab maybe a dozen or two. Say a hundred candy, and a shot at a nice chansey to powerup.

So, what else?

Farm porygon. 300 odd candy or so should be enough if you ever plan to evolve and max out a porygon 2. After the event you'll see porygon once in a blue moon again.

And lures. At six hour per pop you should gather a gang and paint a dozen stops in a big circle pink. Just walk from stop to stop in a six hour bonanza of continuous spawns and bag refills.

Oh, and your buddy will be happy.



Well, that's about it. Lickitung is a pain to catch, we already had all the clefables we needed and even the pink balloon is getting tedious. Slowpoke at least tend to stay in the ball, and a few extra sixpack eggs are always welcome should we want to build an extra exxeggutor.

Did I forget something? Not really. The double candy should only apply to old school big game, namely snorlax and lapras. Possibly a dratini or two, and one week without a change in spawn rates for those simply doesn't make that much of a difference.
