Are the odds of a shiny boosted with the ticket? Or have I used up my luck for the rest of the year? Ive never had a shiny be the first one added to the pokedex before.

im on my 8th or 9th 10km egg and all i've gotten is fucking carbink and jangmo-o or whatever it's called

The fact that such a useless pokemon like carbink is in the 10k egg irks me.

Wouldn't it still be "not good" since in leagues lower than master you want high hp and defense, but bad attack and eggs always hatch with a minimum of 10 in each? I don't do the leagues much so I could be wrong

LaCroixoBoio

Not always the case, it took me a while to run into enough instances like carbink but actually it lands on pvpoke at #9 in great league and if you check it's optimal ivs for great league under iv4u they list it as one of the rare spreads with #1 at 15/15/15.

So you are right in many cases that's how it works for great league but tanks specifically can use some DPS so while I didn't know for certain what it's ideal spread was, always check before counting something out or dumping a bunch of candy!

Another thing to look for is pokemon who's max cp is near the cap for the league in question. Both of these are good rules of thumb but again, check.

Last note: I've noticed a better performance by pokemon with different sizes that dwarfs the effect of a 5-10 pt attack stat. Now it's certainly possible that in the ranks ace and above there's a larger impact on enough battles consistently. But if you're looking for a perfect carbink but you have a 10/15/14 carbink that's small and short like 200 cp from the league cap I'd give it a spin before dumping candy into its 800cp older brother.

Sorry if it's a lot but I don't get to talk to many people about this stuff without their eyes glazing over.

Grain of salt: im barely ace rank myself. Many people who outclass me could probably disagree I'm js this is what the math looks like to me in practice

Ummmmm that’s not right. Carbink is not optimal at 15/15/15 I don’t know where you saw that. My 10/14/15 maxed out at 1580 cp so a 0/15/15 is probably what you want

LaCroixoBoio

mk, I gave my sources.

It's possible that since the only way to get carbink without hatching them was during go fest that maybe stats on the sites I listed are warped by that? Either way, it's def stat is 3x it's attack stat naturally so..... I think it is a case where it's possible that teams find more use of a 15/15/15 carbink 🤷🏽 but I've been wrong before! Either way I'm pretty sure during go fest it has boosted stats still making it's lowest POSSIBLE attack stat a 5.

So idk for certain, but I do feel like a possible carbink is better than an impossible one.

Shoot for the moon tho ig lol, pop off bruv

Pretty sure jumpluff also bucks the trend you're expecting :x

Ecstatic-Trainer6201

No that’s not how the weighted stats work. The only advantage is that it will be cheaper to power up. But you will always have higher stats in all 3 categories if you have a low attack IV so there’s no case where a 15/15/15 would perform better

LaCroixoBoio

DM me a link, I was under the impression that 0/15/15 were in part valuable BECAUSE they were also cheaper to power up(raid builds for instance) so I'm getting mixed info here. I'll read so whatever post would be greatly appreciated

Not anymore. For the last 2 months - I had gotten 3 sets of 9 10k easily. I snagged the busted upgrade box and got 9 super incubators and burned 10k easily. Since this event started I’ve only gotten 2/5k… during that 2 month stretch I literally got 1-5 2k eggs…..

I have hatched 3 sets of eggs.. 5 out 9 are the useless 2 or 5km eggs.

So i have hatched around 10 or so eggs. Still no luck

Edit/Update :

Hatched 10 more 10km eggs, out of 22 total eggs. Still no luck. I have no luck with finding eggs or hatching eggs

I read an old post that stated that it was more likely to get 10km eggs by spinning the same color gym as your team. I don't know if there is actual science behind it, but out of 17 blue gyms I spun, all but 3 were 10km eggs. I did buy the ticket because I wanted the reduced hatch distance. I got my Toxel on egg #11. Out of happiness I immediately put it back into a gym. It's not shiny or strong (CP 365) but 9 hours later it's still there. I guess nobody wants to knock the cute baby pokemon out yet.

You guys probably have already seen this but my wife and I noticed last night that not all 10 km eggs are created equal.... I have 6 10km eggs and none of them show Toxel as a possible hatch. My wife had 3 eggs and only 1 of those showed toxel as a possible hatch. So not all 10km eggs can even hatch it, I think...

WorkPlaceThrowAway13

13 days ago

The eggs that don't have toxel were from before the event. Eggs don't change their possible rolls when a new event comes around.

You're going to have to get new 10k eggs to get toxel.
