Lets complain about melan hunts!!!
Forum Index > PokéFarm > Discussion >
During my entire type race hunt I got 3 shinies and 1 albino... it's so frustrating, I worked so hard to get lustrous orbs and collected them over the last few months for this typerace and I couldn't even get enough s/a to sell to make a profit.. I didn't even hatch a single one during the sei/niet day we got, and despite having z-crystals on during the entire typerace, 1 albino in 300+ eggs is ridiculous.

TYPERACE = 0
328 eggs later on Shazi day + full buffs + 2.5k chain and only 3 specials: 1 shiny and 2 albinos. Geez dude
Dude this hunt is, honest to god, impossible to turn a profit on; i can't even raise my prices any even though shinies and albinos practically don't exist anymore (it took OVER two weeks to hatch one albino. My albino rader still has to be going at all times, i wasted over 950,000 interaction points total to power it and got One albino. Riddle me that one batman), because the site already has an accepted amount that s/a are worth, based on the last ~6 years of the site Existing. People will just go to others selling at the same old prices. Can't turn a profit worth nothin, can't imagine how legend hunting is going to be like 😐

I mean at this point I'm not even on pfq for the hunts
because of how terrible the end up being.
Mostly just here to collect items and gain currency.
There are so mang talented artists here that I like ordering from.
That I'm not even really on pfq to go on melan hunts like I used to because they always end in disapointment and cost a lot that I could be spending on art!
I just got Arceus rank for the first time not too long ago, and very disappointed. This "melanistic bonus on long chains" is a joke. I'm 3.3k in on this chain and not a single melan to show for it, even after getting Arceus. This chain has existed since 2017, before the special rates were nerfed. At one point I was running every bonus except Arceus and no melan.
I can't even hatch enough shinies and albinos to break even on the cost of the über and shiny charms. These new rates are ridiculous, so ridiculous that HM isn't worth it if I can't even make enough to maintain the charms. Only hatched one albino since restarting this saved chain. Why did I even bother? I'm going to lose Arceus rank again after this tourney is over, and I honestly don't feel the motivation to get it back. It isn't helping, the only good it has done for me is that star on my trainer card.

Why won't anyone listen to us about the rates being a problem? I loved this game, and i found it worth the wait of a melan. But ever since the changes, where "well, albinos are suppossssed to be rare!", I can't justify the cost of this. I'm almost 5k (4.7ish), no melan in sight. One albino in a month. Do you even conceptualize the amount of Wasted interaction points that is? 80k, every day, every single day, clicking to gain them back only for them to have zero worth whatsoever. Fix the game. There was no reason to change it, and I'm tired of all this "sally you silly goose gimme my specials XD" I'm not asking a mascot, I'm asking someone working on the game to fix it. I'm not even asking for the broken x8 melan chance the uber had, I'm just asking for some better albino chances, anything to fix that at all to make it a little bit worth trying again.

I completely agree! I was barely able to hatch a melan scatterbug as my first Albino of the SECOND ROUND! All maxed out besides Arceus, I had Z's, HM, UB, everything!
I've hatched nearly... 3k eggs since the start of this hunt and only 3(technically 4) albinos to show for the 3k eggs, that's with all Boosts too! Maxed Albino radar and everything! It's so annoying now...
I use to be able to hatch maybe 1 or 2 albinos daily before with my rockruff hunt, now I can barely hatch 1 Albino weekly
These eggs are so tiring to look at...

I'm at 6,700+ and no melans.. I've also had problems hatching albinos. My luck... is just horrendous.
My ubercharm runs out in 2 days, if I don't get it by then, which is likely. I'll pause my hunt and go for arceus rank. Because clearly, I can't get a melan without it.
Sigh. These rates are garbage.
