Summary
Pokemon GOplayers are worried about the introduction of Max Mushrooms. The new item was announced shortly after the reveal of the Dual Destiny Season, the 17th ofPokemon GO, which will be available to players in the next few days.
With the announcement of the new season, it was revealed thatGigantamax Lapras is coming toPokemon GOin one of the first events of December. As well as the chance to catch the alternative form of pocket monster from Kanto, Niantic has revealed a new item called Max Mushroom. With this mushroom, players can deal more damage during Max Battles while the effect is active. But while the announcement of the Max Mushrooms has excited trainers, the same item is now making the community scratch its head.
Pokemon GOplayers are concerned about Max Mushrooms and aren’t too thrilled about the introduction of the feature. Redditor redwineandbeer is one of these players, who published a screenshot of the item’s prices. To get a Max Mushroom, players mustspend 400 PokeCoins, which will cost $4.99, the price to buy 550 coins. To get three Max Mushrooms will be more expensive, however, with the price at 1000 PokeCoins or $9.99, the cost of acquiring 1200 coins. On Twitter,thepokemodgroup revealsthat a possible free trial will be given to players, with the effect lasting five minutes.
Pokemon GO Announces Max Mushrooms and Makes Players Worried
The comments section expressed the same concern as the OP about Max Mushrooms' introduction and shared their opinions. One Redditor fears that the new item will become an exploit for communities that can’t do Max Battles without them. Another player called the prices “atrocious,” and was troubled by how much it might cost if Niantic added all the ingredients of Max Soup, an item introduced with the release ofPokemon Sword and Shield. A third Redditor explains that one mushroom is equivalent to eight days' worth of PokeCoins obtained from Gyms, which for them would be better invested byexpanding the storage capacity inPokemon GO.
Gigantamax Lapras is just one of the debuts promised for the Dual Destiny Season, withPokemon GOconfirming that the Dynamax versions of Machop and Krabby will be added at some point during the season. In addition, Niantic has confirmed the return of Hoopa, Zekron, and Reshiram to the augmented reality game, although, at the moment, players don’t know how these battles will take place. Another critterreturning toPokemon GOis Necrozma, which, along with its fusions, will be featured at an upcoming event.
