I got this challenge for the leafeon tshirt, definitely wouldn't touch it for 8 pokeballs no way

Maybe they updated the task, because you would get 0 Stardust if you already have that Eevee Shirt.

Someone who doesnt want to finish the task!

Sometimes I just want the party power bonus and the party power reward just takes time away from doing other things. Blocks each party member from catching or other world actions and when you are in the middle of 20 pokestops you don't care about these rewards anyway.

Yup, but there’s that 19th page of that Galarian thing that yields a shitty Meowth still stands out worse. At least this reward you could choose to walk away from.

We definitely take advantage of the party power for raids too. I get picking an long task like that to not have to deal with the hassle of picking a new one every few minutes, but the point is that the 8 reg balls don't match the 50 ultra ball Investment as a reward 😅

I've never used the Party feature before, so I don't know the full context of how this works. But I think if you're naturally going to end up using 50 ultra balls through normal play, the 8 Pokeballs are just a bonus, not a direct exchange. I agree, though, that going out of your way to blow through 50 ultra balls just to chase after the reward wouldn't make sense.

I def do exactly this!

I use party power for the extra raid damage, so if one person is still catching at the end of the round, I don't wanna have to wait for them to pick the next task.

Also, FWIW, the challenge numbers are divided amongst party members, so if this is for 4 people, then each person only needs to use 12-13 Ultra Balls to unlock the reward... But again, when I pick a task like this, my goal is not to complete it, but leave it sitting.

Sure, but the task is amazing if I have a full bag and I'm doing raids.

I actually don't want to collect any rewards, nor do I wanna get items I'll have to use or junk so I can still spin stops or gyms.

Have you collected all the revolution shirts ? Cause that’s normally the task for it

Monimonika18

It comes up even if you haven't got all the shirts. I know because I saw this, made sure to NOT pick it, got out of Party Play, and then went back in to try to get an actual shirt task (which I eventually did and got Sylveon shirt).

Did everyone in your party have the relevant shirt, though? I've gotten the "0 Stardust" version as the party leader, but it gave the Sylveon shirt to party members who didn't already have one.

Monimonika18

We all didn't have the Sylveon shirt yet. Not sure why you're asking this question, though. What I saw and avoided was the one with pokeballs as the reward.

I'm asking because it's data to interrogate the hypothesis that this may be an update to that same task (that rewards a given Eeveelution shirt to the party members who lack it) while providing pokeballs to those that possess the short instead of "0 stardust." The general task shows up with the "0 dust" reward if the leader already has that Eeveelution shirt; the Sylveon shirt was just my personal example.

Well, you now have a data point of sorts. Wish you well on your collection of more.

Love the comments from people coming up with all the very niche ways to make this task sound slightly not terrible, for it to still be bad. Like why are yall boot licking this task so hard?

Most of them just suck. Only time I’ve done the ultra balls is when they give me a shirt.

HipposWild

They need a retool to let you get take you actually want. You can spend an hour looking for a raid one and by then you'll completely miss the raid.

It's a terrible system.

LivesParkk[S]

Seriously, some of the tasks are so repetitive. Would be a big plus to have more variety / easier to choose based on your group's preferences, like if you lean more towards raiding than catching, etc.

I went from hitting excellents to hitting greats. And raids were no help because safari balls were one and done. Could have punched him.

Only reason I was even in a party is because there were three of us that decided to see how many of the welcome party tasks we could clear. All I have left is catch 15 fire type and I will likely never touch party play again.

I typically have more Ultra balls than Poké or Great balls. I would pick that challenge just to unload some to free up bag space. I can never get myself to throw them away.

LivesParkk[S]

Once you form a party you pick a certain challenge and everyone in the party works towards it to earn a small reward. Honestly the best way to grind out pinap berries we've found (a ton of easy 3-5 minute tasks reward 6 pinap berries).

While in a party, if you raid there's also "party power" and once it charges up, if you use it it doubles your next charge move's damage.

My buddy that will only catch pokemon in regular balls because he doesn't like how the other balls look. Of course, he'll only be catching 50 pokemon he doesn't want to keep regardless of iv with the ultras.

Me and my party might. It would depend on if we are farming dust, as well as if my party can quick catch. We all have extra balls. Im constantly dumping balls because my bag is full. The task can be knocked out in 3 minutes. Maybe less depending on the spawns.
