Back in February we had an event for about a month that brought Shiny Meltan into the game and a reduction of time on getting another Mystery Box. Shiny Meltan was only possible to get during that event from what I understand and I was able to get 1 back then.
Since yesterday Shiny Meltan has returned again for a limited time. Just like in February we can once again get a new Mystery Box 3 days after opening it instead of the usual 7 days. This time around it won't last for about a month though. It runs through May 5th, so only for about a week and a half. If you still had an unopened Mystery Box you should be able to open up to 4 Mystery Boxes during the event duration.
I'm a bit confused about whether or not it will remain 3 days to open a Mystery Box after the event or not. As the description said Trainers can open one every three days, even after the event ends. Either they will leave it at 3 days after the event is over, or they just meant that the countdown for your next box won't reset to 7 days after the event. Does anyone know?
With the box I opened I had a few Meltan of high 600 and 700-800+ CP that I've kept for trading with others for Meltan of similar CP values. So that if we get a good IV Meltan out of the trade it's already high level. I've kept the Meltan below 200 CP as well to send them over to the Switch. As they're pretty hard to catch and the lower level ones are a bit easier to catch. All the other Meltan I caught between 200-600 CP I immediately transfer if they're below 82% IV.
Soon I will likely evolve my first Meltan too so I can send a Melmetal over to the Switch as I don't have one there yet. I have close to 1,000 Meltan Candy now so I can already evolve 2. I just didn't evolve one yet as I'm trying to get a high IV one. So far most of them are like 82-86% IV for me xD Only my Lucky Meltan is 91% IV as my highest so far. A friend did get a 100% IV Meltan spawn from their Mystery Box when we opened them! :D I caught just over 15 Meltan from that box :D
Did you get a Shiny Meltan last time? Will you try to get one during this event?
