This event is good

To be honest, I don’t really understand all the negativity surrounding this event. I want to highlight a few points to show why I think this event is good:

1. Many different legendaries: No event, to my knowledge, has provided the opportunity to catch so many different legendary Pokémon. Many of my friends have missed out on certain events and, as a result, have been missing out on certain Legendary Pokémon. I think this is a great opportunity for that.

2. Galarian birds have a high catch rate (often don't run away after the first throw): I only caught one Galarian bird in 2 days, but in my opinion, the chance of catching them with daily incense for a month is much lower.

3. Shiny rate should not be high: I'd be happy with a 1/64 shine rate. But making the shine rate 1/20 would be tantamount to "devaluing" the shiny legendaries. This would likely result in players driving more (I doubt it would be walking) just to run into the shiny. I don't want to get tired of shiny legendary Pokémon like I do with Pokémon during CDs. The legendary must remain legendary.

4. Uses of incense: Only the recent events have begun to somewhat relieve the incense reserves that had accumulated over all the showcases I've participated in. Previously, I didn't see the point in using them up.

5. You are limited only by your own strength, desire and free time: Considering that many people have received White Kyurem in recent events, and rare candies are given out in large quantities in field research, I don't see any problem with spending a little dust to make catching easier. As mentioned above, if you haven't been wasting incense in the past (and there haven't been many reasons to waste it before), then you should have accumulated a sufficient amount.

6. High level legendaries: Yesterday I caught two Legendaries, level 49 and 48. I can't imagine how many raids I had to complete, how many XL Rare Candies I had to accumulate and spend to get them to such levels. Yes, they may not have good IV, but in my opinion, having a useful legendary Pokemon with high CP without spending XL and XL rare candies i's much better than trying to get 100% Pokemon from raids, arriving in an eternal wait, due to not wanting to waste XL candies on non-100% Pokemon.

7. Possible uses of master balls: I haven't used a single master ball since they were introduced, simply because there hasn't been a need for it yet. Now that we can roughly understand that a legendary Pokemon has a level above 45 and is actively used in battles, then maybe this is the very moment when it is best to use it.

These are the main points I've been thinking about for two days. I might have forgotten something, but for me, this is enough to enjoy the event. Maybe I liked it because it's one of the few events where I, as a F2P player, can actually participate in the event (reminder about the GO tour). Perhaps you also noticed some benefits of this event that I didn’t mention?
