Research task for Spinda
Hi,
am I the only that has big difficulties to find the research task needed for Spinda? This is the third day I do my loop of stops (nearly 50), and didn't find the research task needed... Instead I keep finding a non listed "Catch a Meowth or Growlithe"...

There's Minun and Plusle which are relatively common spawns everywhere and you can stack Voltorb rewards if you really want to complete the catch 5 electrics quests. Areas of electric biome or a nest can obviously make it very easy to complete. Personally I trash it because I have 0 need for Mareeps.
It's quite rare. My city has thousands of stops and I only see a few of those quests reported each day. Seems to be in a similar rarity than the Absol and Chansey quests.
The Meowth/Growlithe quest is super annoying to me because both of those mons are pretty hard to find in my biome, whereas the reward, Electrike, is significantly more common. The quest just doesn't make any sense unless you live in the fire biome and see regular growlithes.
Nope.
I think this month is bugged; I may have seen 5 Electric types in total since this event began, I've only seen 2 Meowths in the wild (and no Growlithes) and today I keep getting "Do 3 of Something" quests for Stardust, Balls or Potions. (Hatch 3 eggs. Battle a Gym 3 times. Make 3 Curveballs.) I've spun 8 stops today on my way to work (so 20km apart or so, first to last) and EVERY stop has given me these "Do 3 things" quests.
I'm glad that I have so many Alolan Meowths and a few old Growlithes that I've been considering saving for a Community Day; when I do finally find that elusive Spinda quest, I can actually complete it.
IF I FIND IT. (It's so elusive the entire phrase deserves to be big, not just the IF.)
