Currently, there is an event going on for the Pokémon Day in Pokémon GO. Despite cool spawns, trainers are facing a major issue: sending event Pokémon.
This is how the current event works: There are plenty of rare spawns in the wild. Even Machomei and Dragoran can be found more frequently. Additionally, there are Evoli and Pikachu wearing party hats.
The big problem lies with the party hat Pokémon because they cannot be sent together and must be selected individually. This can take a long time, and trainers are wishing for a change.
“There is no reason for this function”
Players are now complaining about this: On reddit, the currently most popular thread addresses this issue. A user named JuggernautG1 states: “The most annoying part of event Pokémon. Let us send them in bulk. There is a reason for the favorites function…”
This resonates with many trainers. Another user adds that it has become even more pointless because there were already events where such Pokémon could be sent. On Halloween, players could send all starters in costumes in bulk, but this was no longer possible in subsequent events. According to the reddit user, that just doesn’t make sense.
Why does Niantic keep this function? There are no official reasons for it. The game always asks twice whether you really want to send this event Pokémon.
It’s similar to legendary Pokémon or Shinys. There, you also have to agree twice. Niantic seems to consider event Pokémon as “special,” which is why they want you to be sure before sending them.
However, the problem with many event Pokémon is that they are not rare at all. In the current event, Pikachu and Evoli with party hats are everywhere. If you catch 100 Pokémon, at least 10 of these event Pokémon are included. The monsters are therefore not “special,” but actually quite common. Sorting them out then often takes several minutes because you have to confirm each event Pokémon twice.
Here the function also makes no sense: Currently, the clone Pokémon are available in raids. They are only available for this one week and only from level 4 raids. So, you have to invest a raid pass to get to the monster.
The problem here is: These Pokémon can be sent in bulk. In contrast, the hat Pokémon, which are everywhere, cannot. Therefore, in places where the function is really appropriate, it does not work.
