Raikou encounter rate - Unpopular opinion

[Enpure]

Unpopular opinion, encounter rate for this pokemon is way too low. Shouldn't have to spend endless hours/days trying to find this pokemon.

That's not an unpopular opinion, 99% of the competitive community agrees with you, myself included

[razimove]

it shouldn't even be an encounter to find him to begin with imo, it's just poor and lazy design, hopefully they'll eventually make them into something that isn't tedious.

One of the points I believe was to make the trio more easily accessible to the PVP community. Although you could buy one after a few gym reruns, it doesn't seem too accessible, especially if you'd like it as an OT. I understand grinding in an MMO is part of the experience, I just wish they did something more creative with it like they did with the boss battles in Johto. Those felt tough yet rewarding in my personal opinion.

Rather than have a ridiculous encounter rate, maybe just have it finish all elite 4s, rather than a mindless encounter rate. Still rewarding that you finished the content (takes time). Or, limit it to 1 per account if it's gonna be a low encounter rate so it holds its value. There isn't that much to do in Johto so it's a huge time waste trying to find it other then the fact of just capturing Raikou itself.

good thing im not a pvp player!

right?

 

what do you mean i'm not allowed to >>> shiny hunt <<< this thing because it's only one encounter with an undisclosed shiny rate that you get one shot at, except you're not gonna create thousands of accounts and run through johto thousands of times just to get another shot at finding a shiny legendary?

 

yes it does feel lazy and it needs a new system

That's the point of a legendary...that there is only one.

pretty irrelevant tbh

im bothered by the fact you cannot effectively hunt shiny legendaries and that they're distributed in the laziest way possible, even if you could only catch one im sure there would be better ways to implement it in a way that allows you to shiny hunt for them

i can still make loads of alts to get as many legendaries as i want to so it's not an exclusive thing

 

hell it's an mmo make it unbearably difficult to grind for just dont make it impossible, see shedinja for example it's a realistic yet extremely difficult hunt, but the point is not a lot of people have it yet it's completely plausible unlike this silly legendary dog right here

I like everything about the current legendary system. Its a long grind which makes it even more rewarding when you finally get the mon.

or just make it all regions so it doesn't feel like you're wasting days and can actually do content while finding them.

Make leggo doggos exchangeable for 3-4x prismatic pearl to fix the price at  900k-1,2m.
There isnt much motivation hunting for something that realistically will be thrown at you in a few month, for a few bucks and a handshake.

I agree, ik it is a legendary so it is supposed to be special but damn its like they chose the most boring ass way to do that

 

Like for example, Mt. Silver only being accessible after completing OT dex is cool because it directly rewards player dedication, at most some luck needed for phenos but there are callouts for that. Even shaymin was nicely done.

 

Legendary dogs though? 100% luck lmao have fun doing the exact same repetitive shit for hours on end just to watch someone be lucky and get it within half an hour. Like bruh having to put in many hours for some pixels on the screen is ok if at least the effort required is clearly defined, only exceptions should be purely cosmetic stuff such as shinies

The rates for Raikou are brutal. Took me about 14 days and 300+ lures to get him. I think the rates for Suicune were a little higher.

I wish we could breed legendaries to get rid of some of them and have lvl 1 legendaries to use for story.

So more people can make money out of it and spam new accounts.
The richy rich people can easily egg hunt shiny legendaries... 

And that on repeat every month? A constantly up and down of supply and demand

and what happens when you don't get luck like a lot of us? You waste a lot of time in mind numbing content.

for a legendary they are pretty easy to get - they should be WAY harder to get and then they would have some value - like the shinies for example if they were 1/4k they would worth 25/50k per shiny - lowest shiny is probably around 900k because of the odds

it's not about being hard, it's that the odds are pathetically low and only in Johto. Why do I wanna play this to left and right arrow key for 60+ hours. Yawn.

Icic...but there is only complain's now. Tbh idgaf if the Hunt Takes me 10 or 100h. In the end i decide,do i Like the endreward that mutch? Do i do it myself or do i drop a Milli in gtl...
