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"...

I still don’t have one and I spin/solve good number of tasks each day. I solve all the encounter tasks, except sometimes I’ll toss the hatch an egg exeggcute one..also catch 5 electrics, that seems impossible

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.

I'll just throw away this quest because I don't need anymore Electrike. "Evolve a Meowth" and "Catch a Skitty/Poochyena" are insanely rare that you'd better find a nest of Hoondour and Snubbull rather than completing these quests.

For sure, it's an instant discard. But it doesn't make any sense to require something that's hard to find to get something that's quite common.

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.)

When they're spread out across 20km? You can definitely draw some conclusions about things being buggy. The likelihood of hitting 8 stops in a row, across 20km, and all getting a "Do 3 (task)" is astronomically low.

The distance between the stops is a nonfactor, they're 8 different stops. There are astronomical numbers of different stop sequences experienced by players every single day, there are probably hundreds of people who experience a weird streak like yours every single day.

OK, 8 stops is quite low... On my way to work I spin almost many more, but the quest is in every case not found until now in 3 days... And I've just seen a Spinda right now in all gyms I vist... So I really think it's quite too difficult to find the quest...

Have you talked to your local discord or FB group to be alerted when one is found?
