"PSA: Don't bulk buy Ultra Boxes expecting to grind out or guarantee a shiny baby - still extremely rare"

#PokemonGO: Myself and my 3 friends each purchased 4 Ultra Boxes (8 super incs x 4 = 32 incs x 3 hatches each = 96 hatches per person or 384 total.Of the 384 total hatches recorded, only 22 were shiny eligible babies. (5xMagby, 9xTogepi, 8xWynaut)That leaves 362 trash hatches. Of these, 106 were non-shiny baby hatches (26xElekid 29xSmoochum 22xTyrogue 12x Cleffa 6x Iggly 11x Azurill)That leaves us with 256 hatches. 84 starters were very popular and accounted for 29x Mudkip, 38x Torchic, 17x TreeckoThe remaining 172 were a splash of common-uncommons and rares11 Beldum, 2 Chansey, 7 Trapinch, 6 Cacnea, 7 Spheal, 11 Ralts, 14 Poocheyena, 8 Swablu, 14 Feebas, 10 Larvitar, 14 Bagon, 21 Wailmer, 2 Porygon, 8 Machop, 3 Tangela, 4 Numel, 11 Taillow, 6 Dratini, 3 Mantine, 1 Skarmory, 1 Lapras, 9 CarvahnaA total of 0 Pokemon were shiny, leading to the conclusion that, even if it is a boosted rate for the event, it is not boosted like raids and there is still an extremely low chance of hatching a shiny eligible baby let alone a shiny one.Do not waste money hoping to hard grind a shiny, the odds are not in your favor.Have fun hatching and getting bonus stardust tho, star piece plus event is wild. and don't sweat it if you don't get one, seriously rareedit: I am not claiming that I feel like we wasted money on the boxes, it was an experiment that we wanted to try. This post isnt to discourage people from buying these boxes via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2pCDb8l
