"ICYMI: May Special Box Discount Analysis ((They're good!))"

#PokemonGO: In Case You Missed It the current special box deals in the shop are pretty good. There was a lot of other news the day they came out so I just wanted to draw some attention to those that might've missed the transition.I always write an analysis for the GamePress.gg legacy special box list if you want to review past sales and see how these stack up. Good deal? Terrible? Bookmark that page and I'll do the math/thinking for you.Before we get into it, a note on price justifications- You can find the full justifications on the LSB page but notably (new):Ultra Boxes, when applicable, will be compared additionally against other recent Ultra Boxes containing 15+ Raid Passes.Adventure Boxes will be ranked primarily with a value of 0 to Raid Passes. Following each subsection, a parenthetical ranking will be provided which includes Raid Passes at full value for comparison for where it’s true value ranking falls.With the recent split of Ultra and Adventure boxes providing more Incubators, we may revisit this idea in the future. I am open to feedback. Let me know!Otherwise it's business as usual. Eggs are yucky. Incense is totally player dependent.May 2019 BoxesImageItem Box NameSpecial BoxGreat BoxUltra BoxAdventure Box# of Raid Passes33160# of Incubators2006# of Super Incubators03610# of Star Pieces0700# of Lucky Egg2455# of Incense0055Item Box Cost48078014801480SpecialA 3/2 split on Raid Passes and Incubators is a commonly seen 20% discount, ranking this box 59th all time.A 2/3 split is technically a better discount, though worthless to players interested in Raid Passes. As per usual, players are much better off saving for future Ultra/Adventure boxes.GreatLast analysis we marked the official death of the Great Box. A 3/3 split on premium items is paying 4% more for those items. It would cost 750 coins to purchase them not on sale.This Great sale does offer 7 Star Piece. With those, it’s a 29.09% discount, ranking it 64th all time. You may really want Star Piece for next CD’s triple dust but their addition is likely not enough to dig this box out of its hole. I’d cross my fingers for a CD box containing Star Piece, if I hadn’t been saving them.Ultra16 Raid Passes and 6 Incubators represents a 40.8% discount, ranking this box a respectable 16th all time. This ranking drops to 35th when compared against boxes containing Star Piece.With 5 Incense, this 46.18% discount ranks this box 33rd.Compared only to recent 15+ Raid Pass Ultra Boxes, this is the 2nd best sale (to the recent Eggstravaganza Ultra Box containing 15 Raid Passes). This box is the best ever 16 Raid Pass box by a considerable margin.AdventureAdventure Boxes will be ranked primarily with a value of 0 to Raid Passes. Following each subsection, a parenthetical ranking will be provided which includes Raid Passes at full value for comparison for where it’s true value ranking falls.16 Incubators tie this for the previous historic low of 92.5 coins per Incubator. This 38.33% discount ranks this box as a 3-way tie for 2nd (24th considering Raid Passes at full value).This ranking drops to 6th (41st including Raid Passes) when compared against boxes containing Star Piece.With 5 Incense, this 44.15% discount ranks 7th (38th including Raid Passes) all time.~Again, if you enjoyed this analysis, make sure to bookmark theGamePress.gg legacy special box list!]Additional shout outs tou/6_lasers whose opinion I tend to agree with for most things LSB. Discussions with him have helped shape these breakdowns and he also puts out great LSB analysis.u/DetectiveMargie whose Sheets optimization helps me when writing LSB analysis. If you want to play around with the numbers (price valuations/justifications) yourself, definitely their tool a look. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://bit.ly/2EgfCur
