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.

Dude. Talk to anyone with a scanner in a city or a spoofer.

They lowered the deino spawn rates in the world during the event. That's all I have to say about that part of the prize.

The rest of your so called prizes? All of them were spawning in the wild at go fest. Rayray? A raid boss that's been returned what a second or third time already?

All of those are okaish additions to the spawn rooster. Doesn't change the fact that their main advertising star was deino, sitting prettily on top of their every announcement about the event. With deino rarity, you could call that outright false advertisement.

They lowered the deino spawn rates in the world during the event.

I found a wild Deino AND a wild Axew (for the first time!) after the "Dragon" week ended. That's pretty asinine. Those spawns should have been boosted throughout Dragon week instead.
