>>58690322The main things you need to know about Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist if you're gonna go for all sizes are: Small/Normal only spawn during the day, Large/Jumbo only spawn at night, the alpha is ALWAYS Normal and the day/night transition will erase any shiny Pumpkaboo you have. This appears to be a bug that only affects Pumpkaboo and the Wild Zone 19 Gazebo mons, but they're probably not going to fix it. Essentially, the game saves the fact that you've run into a Shiny Small Pumpkaboo during the day (or whatever size it is). Then the day transitions to night. The game tries to spawn in the Shiny Small Pumpkaboo, because Pumpkaboo is a valid spawn in the area, but Small isn't valid during the night, so it deletes it. That said, if you encounter one right before the transition, you should be able to fast travel away, bench twice somewhere else, and return to find it there with more time to catch it.
So don't waste your time with a bench macro (for Pumpkaboo). If you're doing it without a macro and checking every single transition then you've got nothing to worry about though.
