Hi everyone,
As the event ramps down, many players have had questions regarding the new Alpha monsters, so I'd like to make some clarifications regarding them.
We often use events as a way to preview new features in a unique manner. Alpha Swarms are no exception, and this feature will be made permanent during the 3rd patch in the 10th Anniversary patch series.
Eevee is the final Alpha Swarm species released in this event. The first release of this feature will have quite a few more, but we will not be releasing every Hidden Ability within a single patch. Hidden Abilities give us an opportunity to extend the lifespan of the game by continually introducing new batches of metagame-changing monsters, before we eventually introduce new generations.
Players who have monsters they don't want to rebreed will be given an avenue to introduce the Hidden Ability attribute for existing monsters, but it will be a very costly process to upgrade them.
Thank you very much for enjoying the event. It's a very humbling experience, when our hardest problems are trying to accommodate so many players.

What can I say about this, I've been waiting for HAs since I joined this game. They were rumored close to 2018-19, which was when I joined, and now I get the notice yall instead want to milk out the game content instead of think on the metagame integrity.
I feel like this ain't a good idea to the PvP in general, OU will be ok, but what about UU/NU? Those tiers will be a mess for a big while thanks to this decission, and not talking about LC, 'cause yall obviously gave up on that tier to be as an official tier on the game.
Anyways, I guess we'll need to be patient to wait all HAs to be released. . .
