Same old Raid Bosses, or Event?

They've ben very Event Happy lately, the fighting event, adventure week, then water festival all in little more than a month, does it seems likely that theres going to be another one right after this one? Possible Groudon return/ground event with new raid bosses or a break from events and the normal raid bosses.

Either way im just hoping Piloswine's in there somewhere

I'm guessing that we'll see a short break until the end of Go fest, or we'll go right into a ground event.

I'm hoping that there's no event for some time immediately afterwards.

Getting really burned out by all the constant events. I forced myself to play this Water event because I needed the stardust for my Ttars.

Hard to say. Safari Zone Dortmund with its global bonuses is less than 2 weeks away, so any event would probably overlap with those bonuses. Would be a good time to have a small break, but you never know when it's Niantic, they need to sell those boxes.

Like many, I suspect we'll have Groudon next. But I don't think it will be part of a ground event. My suspicion is that Groudon will launch, and then a few days later we'll get another Alolan pokemon (Golem, perhaps) to tide us over until the next set of events.

We've gone from events being a once in a rare while thing to having events overlap and change and surround each other. It's like Niantic thinks we will only stick around if they keep putting shiny things in front of us.

I am not sure we will see further Aloans in the wild; Aloa-Eggie might have been just to wet our appetites. From the announcement of pokemongolive: "Gifts can also include a special surprise: an Egg that, when hatched, will contain an Alolan form of a Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region!" It would make sense from a game development point of view to make Aloans available only to those players that use the new friendship system.

They did also hype Alolan Diglett (that hair!) and Geodude in the last press release... so will those be in boxes? Or taking up 1/4 of all spawns like a certain tree?

I missed that one. So at least those to will be available the normal way, at least for a short time.

I would prefer a break until FIFA world cup is over :)))

I certainly won't use any more Premium passes on old Mons just to hunt a Shiny again. I'm already tired of this and I have a perfect Groudon from January.

Understandable, but I wasn't around when groudon was first released, im so glad ive been doing Kyogre raids like nuts, because i need Ground types (i have a golem, but they are all rock offense from pre-smack down tyranitar) for Dialga and 2 of the Taio Trio in gen V

You should rather work on your Machamps for Dialga as they will have the best DPS and are the best gym attackers right now. Golem is not worth mentioning as a ground type either way and Groudon requires rare candy, but keeping your eyes open for weatherboosted Rhyhorns is certainly a good idea.

Ground types are far outclassed by dragons as Tao trio counters unless they get major DPS upgrades with a moveset shakeup. Garchomp against electric moves Zekrom, Palkia against fire moves Reshiram and Dialga against either one with dragon moves. Dialga is likely also going to be one of the best counters to Kyurem.

I wouldn't count out Groudon, even my weather boosted groudons consistently outperform my 100% lv 34 double ground Rhydon. Even a modest investment into a couple Groudon is well worth it (when ground it the preferred choice--admittedly not very often).
