Pokemon GO's amazing Shadow Zone form is a double-edged sword

For fans of the Galar region, it's a great time to return or start playing Pokemon Go After a long wait, the missing creatures from the 8th generation Pokedex are now available to find in the AR mobile game. The last chapter of Pokemon Go Titled 'Max Out', it sees Dynamax enter the game along with Galar starters, Legendaries and the return of relevant regional forms, such as Galarian Ponyta, added in 2019.




Max Out runs until December 3rd, adding the current Zacian event to raids, with Zamazenta following on October 4th. The event is titled Zacian Legendary Heroes and will give players timed research, collection challenges, and more. The prizes are next to it as their goal is to complete the given tasks before the end of the event. One of its many benefits includes restoring Galarian Weezing for a limited time after the evolution was previously unavailable. However, this has its own advantages and disadvantages during a difficult time for many players.

Why the return of Galarian Weezing is great for collectors but bad for other players


Legendary Heroes event at Pokemon Go It's only active for about six days and ends on October 1st at 8pm local time, giving players a relatively small window to get Galarian Weezing, which has only been available at special events for the past five years. is Since the last time this form was easy, Koffing has become a possible Shadow Pokemon form that players can get from Team GO Rocket Grunts. This means fans can turn Shadow Koffing into Shadow Weezing if they have one in hand, with the Poison/Fairy variant added just in time for the opportunistic window for legendary champions. This addition may seem relatively simple, but it wasn't announced before the event.

This highlights a glaring problem Pokemon GoThe event structure is such that there is a very small window to get Galarian Weezing that closes quickly. Players looking to collect every Shadow Pokemon possible may find themselves in dire need of finding Koffing in time if they carry over any extras they've had in the past.


How Galarian Weezing refers to how often players are left out

Situations like Legendary Heroes mode aren't uncommon in Niantic's game, with long-term problems like eliminating players in rural areas. Pokemon Go Due to the very few interactions they have in their region and non-social actors are regularly left out of raids and trade challenges. It's great that Niantic is going back and making sure Shadow Koffing is viable for a limited time evolution, but having a six-day window to evolve a Pokemon might feel like a stretch to some, since even Community Day dares to do so. He has nothing to do. Just stick to offering time-limited moves for the entire day.

Players have no choice but to somehow hear that Galarian Weezing – and even the unannounced Shadow Galarian Weezing – is available just in time to get it, or panic trying to find it and possibly fail before the event ends. It's not a great situation to put players on the back end of Niantic, and it's also not a situation that will get players excited to come back for more at the next event. I hope such a change will be made next time Pokemon Gothis change is being made more public so that those who want to claim evolutions or Shadow Pokemon in time can do so without stress.
