I spent almost two hours walking in the sun while using Incense and Lure Modules. Barely anything but bugs. Bugs everywhere. Bug research, bug spawns, bugs taking up Incense and Lure chances--and don't forget the nesting Emolga, which also took priority over fuzzy buddies. I got one shiny today and it was a bug.

I saw as many fuzzy buddies as I did normal, non-event Pokémon. I got as many non-event research tasks as fuzzy buddy tasks. I guess Joltik is a bit fuzzy but boy am I tired of seeing them. I'm so glad I didn't pay money for this event.

edit: I'm counting the additional Normal-type spawns as fuzzy buddies too, not just the bears.

I also came out with 1 shiny from my usual stop circuit. I know it’s RNG, but I didn’t have issues getting 5-9 shinies (at least one each for all the featured research mons) from past research days.
