Yo, when tf did they change the shop boxes? Is it just me or is it anyone else? I was originally gonna buy a couple remote raid pass boxes with the coins I'd been stocking up during the TCG event, but it seems like they completely got rid of the 250 raid box. It seems like they even got rid of the $15 boxes. Now, I only have access to the following:
>Special Box: One of each type of incubator, an incense and a lucky egg for 200 coins. Technically above "market value" but only if you plan on using each an equal amount, which I doubt especially since they nerfed incense.
>Ultra Box: 20 great & ultra balls + 20 razz and pinap berries for 280 coins. Complete waste of money for anyone that doesn't feel the need to buy Pokéballs from the shop (aka 99% of players).
>Raid Box: 3 premium raid passes plus a handful of max potions and max revives for 425 coins. Complete waste of money for anyone over lvl. 30, and even then those passes probably won't be worth it unless you know you will be able to use them on legendary or at least mega raids.
>Adventure Box: 3 remote raid passes, 5 lucky eggs and star pieces, and 10 revives. Ignoring the revives, the only reason you would buy this box is if you want more lucky eggs and star pieces, since those are worth 700+ coins at "market price," even excluding the value of the remote raid passes. Regardless, not worth the price if you only care about the passes.
I know we've seen multiple pieces of evidence that Niantic was running low on scratch recently, but this is starting to feel ridiculous.
