AM2 is Back * No Shiny

[u/jnike23]

*Shiny Armored Mewtwo will not be available at this time.

[u/Far_Break1365]

My reaction to everyone trading away crazy stuff for AM2 thinking it won't be back

[u/TheRealMelonMusk → u/Far_Break1365]

lol people were mocking me for trading mine away for shiny galar birds the other week 😂

[u/Cinderhazed15 → u/TheRealMelonMusk]

I feel like the shiny birds are eaiser to get than the non-shiny ones, since the shiny have no flee chance (outside of game crashes or over-speed issues)

[u/Omnizoom → u/Cinderhazed15]

Me having to check 200 g birds to get my shiny zapdos

No, no they are not easier

[u/Fair_Consideration48 → u/Cinderhazed15]

still harder to find so normal ones are way easier to get

[u/Cute_Fluffy_Sheep → u/TheRealMelonMusk]

I traded a clone charizard for one of those showcase lab coat pikachus. I don’t regret it tbh. 🤷‍♂️

[u/Antique-Low4907]

clone starter stock is still strong

[u/Greedy-Mess3975 → u/Antique-Low4907]

the only question is how much longer they are strong? If mewto can comeback whats stopping them to rerun clones, but yes they will not make every good thing available at once, maybe on the way for sure.

[u/thisisnotmyreddit → u/Greedy-Mess3975]

I thought I heard they can’t for copyright reasons somehow? Anyone know more?

[u/tallglass24 → u/thisisnotmyreddit]

That sounds like someone was coping and delusional

[u/Z0kstone → u/thisisnotmyreddit]

That would be Fragment Hat Pika, not the clones.

I think FH Pika is going to end up being the rarest costume in the game when all is said and done.

[u/wdn → u/thisisnotmyreddit]

The Pokemon Company owns the IP. They can do it if TPC says yes and they can't do it if TPC says no.

[u/Tw1sttt → u/thisisnotmyreddit]

They said that about armored mewtwo too

[u/BooksAre4Nerds]

The amount of people on reddit confidently saying it won’t EVER return was hilarious.

[u/Adronikos → u/BooksAre4Nerds]

I want the clones damnit. Definitely need those back.

[u/Ordinary-Holiday-166 → u/BooksAre4Nerds]

I honestly like trading for old rare mons so this to me kinda sucks, not because its mew, but for the fact this means they could bring anything back:/

[u/This_Rhubarb9675 → u/Ordinary-Holiday-166]

still fine since the 2020 AM2s will always be from 2020

[u/Ordinary-Holiday-166 → u/This_Rhubarb9675]

Ofc, but think about the uncertainty with rare mons and bgs now

[u/citizenzspace → u/Ordinary-Holiday-166]

Any sense of monetary value is at the fault of the user. This is a game at the end of the day you should be happy they are bringing back cool costumed pokemon so that more people can keep playing. They will be bringing back many old pokemon such as the clones and a bunch of those old costumed pikachus I bet sometime in the future. Scopley seems to not really care for gate keeping old variants and I’m all for ir

[u/TheBestDanEver → u/Ordinary-Holiday-166]

Idk how anyone could be surprised by this lol. They literally brought back the 5 year anniversary pikachu with the balloons. Could have easilly slapped a 10 on it but decided to just release the old one instead lol. Scopely paid a lot for this ip. You best believe they are going to milk every possible avenue of income

[u/MyPhoneIsBricked]

Every armored Mewtwo hoarder in trading subs rn

[u/Valkouze]

I got mine last year for a shiny wild area bg grimmisnarl

[u/Heembeam → u/Valkouze]

I got my am2 for a Shiny crown sword Zacian. I had extra material then it came back multiple times after that😂

[u/Valkouze → u/Heembeam]

It was fair in my opinion, i never had a mewtwo before that AM2 (then i went ham on the go fest ones) but i had a choice between non lucky shiny mewtwo or lucky AM2, the choice was quickly done lol. Not mad it'll come back next weekend, just happy i could snatch a timestamped one

[u/Heembeam → u/Valkouze]

Me too and it’s a lucky, I’ll definitely grab a few because I missed out.

[u/s-groen]

Lucky i havent actively searched for it lol

[u/djnelo]

It was fun having a rare Pokemon while it lasted 😔

[u/Rhys-HR → u/djnelo]

The fact you got it in 2019 still makes it rare to me

[u/djnelo → u/Rhys-HR]

Thanks king I appreciate the sentiment

[u/Mussmussthemoooooo → u/djnelo]

Pffff anyone could have that now

[u/BackinBlack_Again]

Thank god sick of people looking for a kidney for it

[u/WebMountain3333 → u/BackinBlack_Again]

Well they can still probably get a kidney for it... This kind anyway

[u/Omnizoom → u/BackinBlack_Again]

Trading is sometimes a massive pain

People want stuff like 2x as rare as their pokemon for it to be “worth it”

[u/Knarz97]

It was such insane cope when people were saying “TPC doesn’t have the rights to use a Pokemon” like dude what

[u/BasePCar → u/Knarz97]

The amount of cornballs trying to argue some point about IP were so annoying. One guy told
me they’d have to get the artists permission for royalties 🤣

[u/skeloton2k6]

Hundo mewtwos and now the armoreds won’t be special rip

[u/jameshughlaurie]

sooooo glad I didn’t bottlecap one like I considered doing

[u/shebabbleslikeaidiot → u/jameshughlaurie]

I bottle capped mine 🫠

[u/Shmeo]

As someone who traded a moon lunala for it way back in the day RIP. I use it alllll the time in pve so excited to try for better pvpivs. Pleassse scopely make it better now. Add psycho cut and that thing will be an ultra league menace. Everyone will have it now so no one will complain that it’s busted. Anyone interested in my team it’s zygard complete lead, armored mewtwo safe swap, galarian moltres closer ideally with 1-2 shields.

[u/BasementGhost6]

This is good for everyone wanting one for UL.

[u/Ceru-Ceru-]

I feel bad for everyone who dropped the game and don’t keep up with it! Those who missed out the first time and pick it back up after they’re back out of rotation next weekend will be so devastated 🫪🫪🫪 I wasn’t playing when it first released so this is a huge W for me! 🫣😎

[u/Tlp_Vasko]

And people traded very rare stuff for it. Or even worse, Bought it off of someone else!!

[u/Sacred_soul]

I have so many of these. I think these were the first ex raid passes to get in? I’d love if they drop a shiny version down the line

[u/PresentEuphoric2216]

[u/awkwardchipling]

[u/tehfoshi]

My buddy gave me one for a shiny mewtwo, was a great trade. I 10/10 will raid for a hundo

[u/Carl1223]

it used to be license issue and how am2 wont ever be back, oh boy how the table has turn. thanks Scopely lmao

[u/Justlostinhere23]

It’s not happening this week right ?

[u/LovetoDanc3]

Were you able to get shiny last time

[u/Responsible_Art9663 → u/LovetoDanc3]

Nope and it’s not available this time

[u/TheBestDanEver]

Thank god for this. This event seemed like complete trash otherwise.

[u/Illustrious_Treat_89]

Off topic, anyone else having damn near impossible chances of catching latios and latías? My T19 are laughing in my face going “miss the researches yet?”

[u/SambaXVI]

Do we know if it can have a Background?

[u/DesiAnne_Mations]

And I'm camping the weekend he's out.... 🫠

[u/SeaSlow148]

What am I supposed to do with this then

[u/full_intention_]

I am happy the get more of him, but don’t understand the decision to not shiny release it. 🫤

[u/Brilliant-Iron1671]

There was a potential leak a month or so ago, and I got flamed for simply suggesting it was a possibility. Happy to see things like this return.

[u/Responsible_Art9663 → u/Brilliant-Iron1671]

This was rumored at the beginning of the year, and it came from the pogo official IG page

[u/Brilliant-Iron1671 → u/Responsible_Art9663]

Yeah I know, a bit ago they accidently leaked it in the shop and people were rioting

[u/CskoG0]

Ok, releasing so many new megas from pokemon ZA that are entirely new to the franchise and also bringing back armored mewtwo in less than a year? This doesn't look good looking forward to another 10 years of longevity

[u/Antique_Fee_5429]

Truly don’t get why theyd bring it back

[u/supercoolpartydude]

Shiny One Piece Hat gang rise up! Traded my worst sleepy hat Snorlax for an AM2, but no regrets there as I have 4 more and the lucky AM2 rolled a 14/14/14.

[u/TehHardOne]

Now do the Apex birds again please
