"A better Magikarp replacement than Metapod:"

#PokemonGO: So, I have been thinking about the Niantic's decision to replace Magikarp with Metapod as the easy Tier 1 raid literally anyone can do. Personally think they should have instead used Eevee.Breakdown:Magikarp: Easy to beat, useful candies because of useful evolution to a powerful pokemon, helps new players work towards a rare-mon, High IV is desirable, the pokemon is super common in game in a many Biomes.Eevee: Easy to beat, useful candies because of useful evolution to a powerful pokemon, helps new players work towards a rare-mon, High IV is desirable, the pokemon is super common in game in a many BiomesAdditionally, it seems to me that one of the reasons they kept Tyranitar and Machamp, etc is so that new players would still be able to get them, avoiding a disparity between older and newer trainers. Having eevee in T1 raid slot would allow new players to also get the eeveelutions which have now been removed from the raid pool.Simultaneously, experienced trainers still desire good IV Eevee whether to roll the dice for Gen 1 evolutions or walk towards Espeon/Umbreon. In the same way that some people did Magikarp in the hope of high IV shiny Karp, i think that the additional flexibility catching an Eevee offers would draw higher lvl players to actually do this T1 raid. As it is I can't see many players ever even bothering with a method.Thoughts? via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2AdnlF9
