Makarovs

Congratulations to the first players who have captured Shaymin. We hope you enjoyed the surprise. We didn't have time to add an indicator for its rarity but note that it'll come back during next year's event too. I'm sure some people are curious about Sky Forme Shaymin, but we declined to implement it at this time since it always ends up in Ubers. We might find some use for it later in special instances.
 
Sorry the event was late again. CNY being so early this year made it a difficult one. I'm looking forward to being able to refocus on Johto, personally.
 
We also fixed a scaling problem with the Lucky Envelopes earlier today. Previously it was only counting them if you made it to Hard difficulty. Now it'll count +1..2..3 for each Nian >= 3. Normal envelopes were increased slightly too since they were too low.
 
新年好, and thanks for playing.

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.

Event pushed back a few days while we continue work on bug fixes and features. Thanks for understanding

Base patch out Wednesday. Event 1wk after that

For those looking forward to the 10th Anniversary event next week, we apologize, but it will be delayed by a few weeks. We're currently working on several features which aren't quite ready for deployment, and making sure the event's cosmetics and gameplay are polished.
 
Thanks for your patience
