The global challenge: We covered why this was good above, with the release of Shiny Galarian Ponyta and Pancham, but this challenge felt natural for the event unlike the previous Global Challenge and also activated triple catch XP for a considerable amount of time, which made completing it feel substantial.This raid-centric release made the Tier One raid rotation interesting for first time in a very long time, especially considering Galarian Ponyta seems to have quite a boosted Shiny rate. Shiny release: The global challenge unlocked Shiny Galarian Ponyta, which was easily one of the most anticipated Shinies in Pokémon GO.

Then, Pancham was unlocked halfway through the event as part of the global challenge and was available in raids, before switching to 12 KM Strange Eggs during the next event. If you wanted Goomy, it was there to be found. This made Goomy encounters exciting but it was by no means at the same level of rarity as Axew and Deino, or even Archen and Tirtouga, when those were released. Goomy was a rare spawn but was certainly around. They will even continue to spawn throughout the next event. Spritzee and Swirlix were common spawns that one could easily have evolved multiple times over. These species ran the gamut as far as the manner of their release, which made for an interesting and dynamic event. The new releases: During Luminous Legends X, Niantic released Spritzee, Swirlix, Goomy, and Pancham.Credit: Niantic What worked in this Pokémon GO event
