Thank you, I'll give it a lure spot somewhere else in a future update then. It's not ideal for a story-locked location to ever be optimal.

Interesting. Is the actual level important at all, or only the fact that it's guaranteed to be the same every time?

The stated rates were single encounters. All of the hordes in Cave of Origin are Golbat.

I'm curious, what do you actually want to hunt there? It was intentionally made underwhelming due to its limited access. -75% Golbat + 100% Golbat horde is a losing roll. It also appears at higher rates elsewhere. -10% Sableye and 10% Mawile is on par with Victory Road and worse than Sky Pillar (20/20/15 morning/day/night on both of them). -Lure Smeargle can be found at a 100% rate in Artisan Cave. Is it just the catch location in the summary that you want? You can leave to heal.

The postponement was a developer request / recommendation as we're planning to release an update in the near future with several changes which would impact the event. The most notable is an overhaul of wild encounters and hordes which places greater emphasis on season, time of day, and the variety of "phase" hordes which can be encountered alongside desirable hunts. It also includes a new shiny hunting method and additional QoL improvements such as an in-client encounter counter. We're very sorry to those impacted by the rescheduling. This should have been managed better and this was a special circumstance which the event hosts couldn't have foreseen.

While the suggestion is appreciated, most of the mockups proposed in the existing forums thread don't meet our current artistic standards. What we're afraid of when we hear an idea like this is being bound by the popularity of an entry which is less than our standards and/or clashes with the game's aesthetic. Although we're open to player ideas posted in the above thread, we're not interested in doing this type of contest at this time.

Route 209 also includes the inside of the tower, and Lost Cave has different rates in different types of rooms (item / non-item).

Cheated / bugged stats are not a thing. Breloom sometimes runs Rock Tomb which lowers your speed enough to allow it to outspeed you. It's part of your opponent's moveset so Im going to assume that this is what happened here. If you encounter something that you believe to be an issue in the future, please report it via the support platform and include a screenshot of the battle log, preferably including the previous few turns as well.

Although we sometimes use pre-written responses to address common issues, the response you received here was custom and contains no misinformation. If you feel uneasy accepting a gift from a stranger, you can either send it back or send it to an SGM/HGM to eliminate any chance of it being misinterpreted. With that being said though, 20k is such a minuscule amount that it will never result in a ban.

You should be able to change your name now.

Most likely while the ability was disabled by Reactive Gas.

The Q&A subforum mode is no longer supported in this version of the forum software. We don't develop it ourselves, so can't bring it back. Although voting was helpful to draw attention to certain threads, it didn't significantly impact a suggestion's chance of implementation, partially due to how easy it was to ask friends / teammates to click the button. I regularly browse new threads in the section and if I like something I see, I add it to the to-do list regardless of the number of votes it has. Although it often takes a while for them to be given attention afterwards, every suggestion is seen and considered, and the lack of voting won't change that. If you want to boost a suggestion's chance of implementation, constructive posts which attempt to improve it are also read and taken into account. If you just want to show quick support, a 👍 reaction is the best way to do that, and I do look at the number of those too. Low content posts like "+1" only clutter the thread and make it harder for useful discussion to happen.

The only time this ever occurs is when a player purchases RP, spends it, then issues a chargeback which results in the account's current RP balance becoming negative. The account cannot be re-instated until the balance returns to 0. We do not request or accept payment to unban accounts closed for any other reason.

It's shiny locked.

This is planned for a future update, likely within the next few months and replacing 6v6 doubles as the matchmaking and tournament format. At the time of the above, the Covert Mantle flash will be reverted as we will be including an "open team sheet" mechanic for the new format which accomplishes the same goal. The flash will remain until then as removing it would be detrimental to the current doubles format.
