Hello,

 

I have two questions, but the second one is the most important to me.

 

It seems that recently, most precisely since the Christmas event started, shadow Ekans have stopped spawning. This brings my first question : 

- It is well-known that on Pinkan, event forms cannot be found, but the rule is not as clear for nesting grounds. How does the game handle the possibility that 4 different forms (regular, shiny, shadow and xmas for example) could be available at the same time on the same map ? From my personal experience, I have never seen both a shadow form and an event form on the same map during the same event. For example, this hlw I encountered several shadow slowpokes in Forlorn, but not a single hlw slowpoke. Last year it was the opposite : several hlw slowpokes and no shadowpoke. Can you confirm that during an event (let's say vday), both vday poke and shadow poke are available ?

 

The second question is more a request to staff members. Could you please check if the spawn of all shadow forms is working as intended ? It seems to me that the only shadow forms that were obtained in the last two months are the ones that didn't have a form during xmas. Would it be possible that the xmas event somehow altered the shadow spawns ? 

 

Of course this could just be RNG but shadow forms are really important for all the people who have the ability to hunt them, and we would all love to have a confirmation that the spawns are working correctly. Also, since there are very few shadows that are encountered each day, it is difficult to have data that is reliable enough to validate or invalidate my hypothesis.

 

Thank you for reading.

Hello, Hello @Malbouffe 👋

 

First of all, i would like to thank you for the time spend on this post, also, my apologies for the delay of answer !
We have forwarded your thread to Walross and he has confirmed that there is no issue currently with the spawn of the shadow pokemon that also have an xmas form(or other event) , players (including myself as a shadow hunter) have been most likely very unlucky.

I can understand the frustration that it may cause. If you have any further question, please let me know and i will try to comeback to you as soon as possible.

 

Hopefully one of the shadow hunter can find a wonderful Shadow Axew/Noibat/Treecko/Houndour or any other little guy to confirm it.

 

I'm looking for your reply,

Hello, @Malbouffe

Shadow abra have been found today, it share an Xmas and a Shadow form. 

Hopefully, we will find the Shadow that we are looking for! 

 

Wish you a good day, 

Basculegion. 

I mean, I am glad that Shadow forms are back, but that doesn't prove me wrong does it ? The very day the Xmas client is removed, Shadow forms start reappearing. I'm going to believe Wally this time because there's not much else I could do, but I'm still 90% sure there are negative interactions between shadow forms and event forms. I sincerely hope that if it the case, it will eventually be fixed.

 

Have a good day as well,
