Make Borealis Lantern an Uber-Rare Item in Boxes
Forum Index > Core > Suggestions > Completed >
Quite a few Mass Click Weekends ago, the Borealis Lantern summon item was created as the reward, allowing those who met their target to summon a Bunbori and thus evolve Litten into Feral Incineroar. Having made that item, it feels rather a shame that it's no longer available to use, and yet it hasn't been made into a legacy item either, so clearly there is still a reason to seek it out. So my suggestion is that, as a compromise between it being a legacy item and being available but unusable, it could be added to the Über-Rare Item pool for boxes (including Gragon's Gift), where things like the Mythrite and the Dragon Ball currently are.
Pros: It isn't infeasible for items in a certain category to operate outside of the rules of that category - Kokorunite Q isn't folded into Mega Stones as a category, for example - so I can't imagine this not being possible from a coding standpoint. And since Uber-Rares tend to be on the expensive side across the site, it wouldn't compromise the rarity, or the cost, of the item.
Cons: Would adding the item to the Prize Shop be obligatory, if it's an Uber-Rare? If so, Bunbori is already attainable through the Tournament Prize Shop at a relatively low cost, so it may not make a great deal of sense to add the Lantern to the prize shop alongside the Mythrite, the Korokunite Q, etc.
EDIT: It was brought to my attention that Gragon's Gifts aren't the only boxes to contain Uber-Rare items. The suggestion has been edited with this new information in mind.
They/them, for simplicity. Beathan sprite; egg sprites from Bulbapedia; avatar; Acacia sprite by me; Bee from Pokefarm Advent
Support for generally making it count as an Uber-Rare item, but not for only making it count as one in Gragon's Gift.
I've been waiting for a chance to get a Borealis Lantern (or, well, multiple, I'm a lantern nerd), but am also unable to buy ZC, let alone buy even close to enough to get Gragon's Gift, and while there are some on the Market Board, they're painfully expensive and I'm using those credits for Shiny Charms too. It'd make me very happy if I could have a chance to get it from normal boxes like at least some other Uber-Rare items can (I remember having gotten a Dragon Ball from one some time ago, and the other day I got a Korokunite from a box and it made my day).
But in general, support.

Bump, to gauge interest!
Support, but I don’t think it should be added to the prize shop because the Bunbori egg is already available to buy there.

Support! Its such a pretty item.
I saw a similar suggestion for the rose bouquet; perhaps it just needs to be coded in?
