"GoFest (Make-Up Day) vs Non-Event Spawn Pattern"
#PokemonGO: TLDR: Spawn points mapped non-event species (A pool) to event species (B pool) in a pattern that appears to be closely related to dex number.A & B Spawns had same timersIf weather boost was the same, the IV and level were the same for A & B but species were different (L30+ trainers obviously)Height/weight sometimes were the same, if A's were within bounds of B's possible valuesThe A species usually mapped to one of the next few B species with a higher dex number, with few exceptions.There was a clear spawn pattern comparing spawns seen by trainers participating in the GoFest make-up day and those that weren't. I was in a car with a non-GoFest player and we took several screenshots of the same spawns and compared them, caught the same ones and compared IVs, etc. This gives more evidence of the A/B spawn pools that have been discovered and discussed here in the past. Let's assume the A pool is normal possible spawns and B pool is GoFest spawns. All of the A pool spawns were converted to B pool spawns for trainers doing the GoFest makeup, with the same IVs and level (assuming both had the same weather boost). If the A pool species was weather boosted and the B pool species wasn't, the IVs/level were rerolled. It seems like the height/weight would also be the same unless the height/weight from the A species was outside the range of height/weight for the B species, in which case it was rerolled. Some extra spawn points were activated that only spawned B pool mons (non-event trainers saw nothing).During the event we assumed when someone reported a L35 spawn species that for us it would be one of 1-3 event mons and we were almost always right with very few exceptions. We assumed it was one of the next few species from the GoFest pool in dex order from the non-dex species (never the next GoFest pool species). For example if an A-pool trainer saw a Starly #396 we assumed for us it was either a Pachirisu, Drifloon, Buneary, or Bronzor. Another example, if someone saw a Meditite #307 we assumed it was either a Swablu, Feebas, Shuppet, or Duskull. I haven't figured out the exact pattern (and there were some exceptions, like Natu mapping to Togetic), but we were pretty close. It's also possible some Niantic intern did the mapping by hand and just grouped X number of non-event mons in order into a group that mapped to a B type, then did the same thing for the next one, with no particular care to dex #.I uploaded the comparison screenshots to here https://imgur.com/a/gj72YdhIn the photos you can see a few event-only spawn points:Bronzor (photo#4), Clefable (photo#6), Roselia (photo #7), Turtwig (photo#8), Teddiursa (photo#8)A Pool (non-event, right photo)B Pool (GoFest, left photo)Hoppip #187Snubbull #209Plusle #311Duskull #355Gulpin #316Roselia #315Natu #177Togetic #176Rattata #19Sandshrew #27Meditite #307Duskull #355Shellder #90Cubone #104Gastly #92Cubone #104Misdreavus #200Sneasel #215Natu #177Togetic #176Psyduck #54Alolan Sandshrew #27Bellsprout #69Geodude #74Murkrow #198Sableye #302Yanma #193Houndour #228Hoppip #187Sneasel #215Other reports not pictured:Stantler -> PoochyenaSentret -> EeveeBuneary -> SnoverPlusle -> ClamperlSwinub -> HoppipRemoraid #223 -> Pachirisu #417Makuhita #296 -> Absol #359Meditite #307 -> Shuppet #353Starly #396 -> Bronzor #436Starly #396 -> Drifloon #425Drifloon -> BronzorCherrim -> BronzorRemoraid -> LarvitarThe GoFest or "B" pool spawn list is here (missing Shuppet) : http://bit.ly/2LePXGN via /r/TheSilphRoad http://bit.ly/2X0dPQC
