linkEvent Analysis
Fuecoco is such an adorable little crocodile. Having a Skeledirge know Blast Burn should be a good gain for its move pool, same with Torch Song. I also think the shiny is quite cute, with a nice lighter pink color scheme. I'm not a PvP expert, so I have no idea how good the moves will be in the long run, but I imagine it'd be good to get a few good ones for the various cups.
Interestingly enough, this confirms that next season will not have the Four-Star Raid Battles like we've had in the past. That means we won't be getting additional chances for the shinies after the event technically ends. I don't think this is the wisest move by Niantic, even if hardly anyone was using it. Perhaps there's something else coming to "extend" the event? I doubt it.
Anyway, enjoy the event!
