WILD SPAWNS
The highlight of the Unova wild spawns is certainly the debut of shiny Snivy. However, don’t sleep on Scraggy (for PvP), and the chance to shiny hunt Roggenrola and Ferroseed.

SUPER U-NOVA
Raise your hand if you will be catching or shiny checking every Snivy that spawns? Yup, that’s what we thought. Snivy all day. But, that is not everything this event has. We get some interesting new Raid Bosses, Field Research Tasks, and some Eggs to hatch as well. Not to mention that we can shiny hunt the elusive shiny Ferroseed!
Remember, always obey you your local health and safety mandates, and stay socially distanced! Stay safe Fam!
It seems like most people have forgotten – including Niantic – that there were supposed to be Professor Willow quests with these Season of Celebration events where he was meant to be looking at the history of Pokémon for the different regions. This was announced as part of the Go Beyond stuff but was overshadowed by the larger announcements.
No one seems to be talking about it anywhere so wondering if you guys are aware of it / have any further info. Was looking forward to these and for them to seemingly have been removed is disappointing.
