Pokemon Go players slam Niantic for dropping Shadow Mewtwo at worst possible time

Pokemon Go trainers eagerly await the Legendary Shadow Raids, however some are expressing disappointment that these events seem to always occur during major holidays.

Despite being aware that the majority of events take place on weekends, Pokemon Go players are currently expressing frustration towards Niantic for releasing an essential event, like Shadow Mewtwo, during the Easter weekend.

Pokemon trainers are expressing disappointment and frustration as they believe that the timing of releasing a popular Legendary Pokemon into the game could not have been worse. Some users, such as ‘Dragonmas7er5,’ have taken to Reddit to voice their grievances: “Am I the only one who thinks that the Mewtwo event is a complete disaster? This is possibly the worst weekend to introduce him into the game, with it being Easter and all.”

The OP expressed frustration with the limitations of Shadow Raids, as they can only be completed on-site and do not allow the use of Remote Raid Passes. This sentiment was echoed by many users who felt that the timeframe for obtaining Shadow Mewtwo was poorly chosen.

Some players share the belief that significant events should not overlap with holidays. A frustrated player expressed their thoughts on the matter, stating, “It seems like they don’t even make an effort because every year, there’s an event scheduled at the worst possible time.”While not everyone observes Easter, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or other holidays, it appears that Niantic consistently struggles with event planning and timing.
