The Perlu event in Pokémon GO is over, and not only did our author Noah find this event great, but we will tell you why it was one of the best events ever.
Therefore, the prerequisites were poor: Before the limited research with Perlu began, many players had mixed feelings. Last month, Barschwa made negative headlines with its research. Too few Shinys and overly difficult quests were criticized.
This is the conclusion of the Perlu event: Despite all the negative prerequisites, Niantic hit the mark with this event. I would even say that it was one of the best events in Pokémon GO overall.
This is why the Perlu event was so brilliant
That was the first surprise: Against all expectations, there was actually the shiny Perlu in the game. This made the entire event even more exciting and the hunt for Shinys was on.
This is how Niantic improved with Shinys: I was initially afraid that the Shiny of Perlu was as rare as a shiny Barschwa. But that was not the case. In my community, many players quickly found a Shiny, and the atmosphere was overwhelmingly positive.
The Shiny rate for Perlu was significantly increased. A large part of the players who played the full 3 hours and completed some quests were also successful.
This is why the quests were so good: I’m actually a fan of difficult quests that demand something from you, but when it comes to possible Shinys, the quests can also be easier. This was exactly the case.
The field research like “Catch a Krabby or Enton” or “Spin 2 PokéStops” were not only easy to complete but also very diverse. It was simply fun to complete so many quests.
The limited research had event character
This is what I liked best: During the Barschwa event, everything revolved around the field research, and one was glad when they found enough Pokémon to complete them.
The Perlu research consisted not only of the quests but also of a water event that was running simultaneously. Everywhere there were possible Shinys in the wild, and catching them was incredibly fun.
There were not only increased spawns of Krabby, Muschas, and Co. but also their evolutions. I caught Blastoise, Kabutops, and numerous Kingler. These Pokémon not only bring more Stardust but also provide variety in catching.
This bonus was especially nice: If that had been all, these 3 hours would have already been very successful. But there was also double Stardust for water Pokémon. Since the spawns consisted almost exclusively of these monsters, there was even more double Stardust.
This is how it can go on: At this event, one could tell that Niantic listened to the players and visibly improved something. I had a lot of fun and hope that they will repeat such events. I’m definitely in!
There is still the chance for Shiny Latias all week:
