This is why I stop playing Pokemon Go. Why the heck shitty Niantic increase rate to the most commonly encounter Pokemon?

I still haven't caught four of those seven, so I'll definitely be taking advantage of this. I need the exercise anyway. Very Happy

Sounds like I have even more of an excuse to go downtown and walk around in my costume on Halloween. :p Plus playing in between passing out treats to the trick-or-treaters in my parents' trailer park too.

Not too happy about Zubat being increased, but more chances at catching the ghost trio is welcomed in my book! I'm still a long way off from getting Gengar, and Gastly and Haunter doesn't pop up nearly as much as I was hoping. Plus more candy from walking around with your buddy? Looks like my Dragonair might be evolving sooner!

You know they might not be as common for some people right? I for one have only seen a couple Gastlys.

Do you even see my bolded part of quoted word?
I was talking about Zubat. Zubat is super common pokemon. Do you even playing this game? Just go to any Pokemon Go community and said "I dont get Zubat yet". They will laugh back at you.

Not anymore in my area. The first two weeks they were everywhere, but with the nests constantly changing, I've only ran into a few of them since. It still varies from region to region and for those that still play either hardcore or even more casual, they could notice the nest and common changes, too. Too be honest, I've actually come across A LOT more Golbats that Zubats lately, for some reason. Believe it or not, when I travelled to Seattle for PAX, they barely had any Rattatas, but had Drowzees as something super common. So they probably aren't fans of Drowzees for this event. It all depends on where you live.

I seriously doubt that Niantic is going to increase the find rate of those Pokémon enough to get me to play Pokémon Go again. Rolling Eyes

Sounds good. I'll switch out my current buddy to a Gastly for a couple days.

I would say Zubat is common at all. Its uncommon, I only see them occasionally. They aren't like Pidgeys, and Ratatas that's for sure!

Pretty cool that they're rolling out an event now, Ghastly is pretty rare for me so I'm happy that I'll finally be able to get a Gengar sooner and Gyarados will be much easier to get now as well

I guess it just depends on your location, personally I can go a few days without find one but Drowzee is very common

Well, it fits with the theme. Plain and simple.
