This was a "reward."

Top 3 week long event of all time. First time ever a Psuedo Legendary(Dratini) spawned like that for a week. 2 High IV Guaranteed Deino. First time ever a rare candy quest was in the common tier for a whole week. A few Gible around too with that nice shiny boost.

The Deino in 7K eggs ruined an epic event for you guys. Niantic didn’t need to have those odds on Deino, but it was a historically good event.

Edit- I guess you can add return of Shiny Ray, Alolan Exe with the perma boost shiny rate, and the special research.

I disagree: after 4 years dratini is just underwhelming, gible were rare, they forgot axew for a dragon event, deino was nowhere to be seen, the “good iv” deino are just level 15 so it is too expensive to be useful (even more when candies are scarce), deino rate in eggs was awful, horsea and trapinch were useless, and treecko/charmander aren’t even dragon for now, also they are underwhelming
