The Plant Event in Pokémon GO was a competition between Team Red, Yellow, and Blue. Which team caught the most Plant Pokémon?
Until Tuesday, the Plant Event in Pokémon GO was running, promising an increase in Plant-type monsters. Trainers could fill their collections with monsters like Bulbasaur, Chikorita, or Tangela. To attract even more wild monsters, the duration of Lures was increased from 30 minutes to six hours.
What many trainers did not know: Niantic closely monitored which team caught how many Plant Pokémon and turned it into a competition. The winning team caught about 116 million Plant Monsters. The losers “only” 72 million. Can you already guess which team won?
And the winner is:
Trainers from the three different teams have long argued about which team is the better one.
- Team Red – “Bravery” with leader Candela
- Team Yellow – “Intuition” with leader Spark
- Team Blue – “Wisdom” with leader Blanche
The result of the Plant Event could at least determine a winner among the three teams in this area. It was measured which group could catch the most Plant Pokémon during the event weekend.
- In third place is Team Yellow, with 72 million Plant Monsters caught.
- Second place goes to Team Red, which caught 102 million Plant Pokémon during the event.
- Team Blue caught the most Plant Pokémon. The trainers of this team achieved 116 million Plant Monster catches.
Unfair result?
Many players criticize this “competition” on social media and wish for more detailed numbers regarding this event. The reason is that Team Blue has the most players and thus has a clear advantage in catching Pokémon.
Therefore, trainers suggest that Niantic should publish more accurate figures for future events. Values like “Pokémon catches per trainer from a team” could clarify which team made more of an “effort”.
Overall, the idea of comparing teams has been well received by the community so far. This increases the competitive spirit among trainers.
