>>56995990>Transform (Skill Copy)>Mimic (Skill Copy)Interesting, sounds like metronome, but it can only pick from main skills on your current team.
This could therefore allow Ditto and Mr. Mime to use Helper Boost sometimes.
It's probably implemented so you can't copy Skill Copy itself.
>Addition of a mode that allows various kinds of Pokémon to shineWho knows what this'll be, but I wonder if it means entirely new metrics for existing Pokémon, something separate to the Snorlax strength-gains main mechanic we've played with so far.
I've mentioned an idea for a nature mint farm before, maybe it can be a side-map where a separate team works to cultivate mints, and team formation influences crop growth and results.
>Development of a new event, stylistically different from existing events>We are preparing a new event where all researchers' Drowsy Power will help complete itSounds like a "Global Mission" type thing to me, like in Sun and Moon's Festival Plaza, or Pokémon GO's Global Challenges, where it simply measures all connected players' general participation. So, not really a competitive feature as such, nor should the game be treated competitively because progress is largely just time invested, and sensible team picks, and a load of randomness if you go to Greengrass.
Global missions rarely fail because they purposefully tailor the goal to measured data, so the goal is realistic and achieved ahead of a deadline but not too early either.
The event is also explicitly encouraging you to maximise your Drowsy Power instead of any other focus like farming dream shards, levelling helpers after hitting Master 3, etc.
An event like that will push Good Camp Ticket sales, Helper Whistle sales, etc.
