The addition of seasonal bonuses and Timed Research events grants Trainers a few exclusive rewards.<\/p>\n<p>The Power Plant event is the final seasonal event, which sees Trainers having to catch Pok&eacute;mon to make progress on unlocking the last door mechanism. However, disgruntled Trainers expressed frustration at the developer, Niantic, for a &#8220;boring&#8221; and &#8220;lazy&#8221; event with little offerings to rave about.<\/p>\n<h2>Power Plant the &#8220;laziest&#8221; Pok&eacute;mon GO event<\/h2>\n<p>Posted to the Pok&eacute;mon GO subreddit, a disgruntled Trainer expressed frustration over the lack of features, rewards and more in the ongoing Power Plant event. The Trainer criticised developer Niantic for its lacklustre offerings for the latest event.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"reddit-embed\" style=\"border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redditmedia.com\/r\/pokemongo\/comments\/s8kuoz\/no_new_timed_research_no_new_special_research_no\/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share&amp;embed=true\" width=\"640\" height=\"411\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No new timed research.

Or is this the laziest PoGo event in history?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Granted, Helioptile (and its evolution, Heliolisk) is one of the better additions that arrived in the Power Plant event; however, it leaves very little to be excited about. Another Pok&eacute;mon GO agreed with the comments, adding their criticism of the developer, &#8220;Niantic been lazy since the start of times&#8221;.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/7QcnE7xDMQyurqOw6cj1nyKiX19xJtNl-G7ZZ8n_TD8\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9Qb2slQzMlQTltb25fR08vU2Vhc29uX29mX0hlcml0YWdlL3Bva2Vtb25fZ29fcG93ZXJfcGxhbnRfZXZlbnRfdHJhaW5lcl9oZWxpb3B0aWxlX25pYW50aWMuSlBH\" alt=\"pokemon go seasonal event power plant pokemon go seasonal event power plant helioptile\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">The addition of Helioptile has been welcomed by Pok&eacute;mon GO Trainers.

(I hope that I&#8217;m not right),&#8221; user slimsady2 commented.<\/p>\n<p>There is hope, as such, for Pok&eacute;mon GO Trainers with the forthcoming event, &#8220;A Bad Feeling&hellip;&#8221; starting on 24th January 2022. The event will mark the appearance of Team GO Rocket at various Pok&eacute;Stops and inside balloons throughout the Kanto and Kalos regions. The event will also add a bonus for Trainers to help any Shadow Pok&eacute;mon unlearn the Frustration ability.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\" style=\"display: flex; max-width: 550px; width: 100%; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3NwYWNlX2NhcmQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib2ZmIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1483182349030510599&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fadmin.www.ginx.tv%2Fen%2Fadmin%2Fpost%2Fedit%2F17355&amp;sessionId=e53697bdffc175de8a70ce0bae4e8993e0058d86&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=75b3351%3A1642573356397&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3NwYWNlX2NhcmQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib2ZmIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1483182349030510599&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fadmin.www.ginx.tv%2Fen%2Fadmin%2Fpost%2Fedit%2F17355&amp;sessionId=9f792ff71301708d75f79a1f0d5bad4181065d63&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=75b3351%3A1642573356397&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-twitter-extracted-i1642785163319298876=\"true\" data-twitter-extracted-i1642788229452231786=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#128272; Swinub Incense Day<br \/>&#128272; Mountains of Power<br \/>&#128274; Power Plant<\/p>\n<p>Spark and the team are closer to unlocking the door with Electric-type Pok&eacute;mon.

She now works full-time with GINX and can often be found exploring the worlds of Palia,&nbsp; Conan Exiles, Elder Scrolls Online, and Elden Ring while trying to reach Infinite rank in Marvel Snap. Whilst she has seen improvements at farming in Stardew Valley (much thanks to Palia), Ashleigh more than makes up for it by being a decent Blastoise trainer in Pokemon GO. While her gaming adventures take her to unique locations, she actively enjoys following trending stories within the Entertainment industry, just don't ask why her Letterboxd hasn't seen an entry in a while. If you manage to catch Ash in between playing games and watching Marvel or Star Wars shows, you can forward any gaming and entertainment news, tips, and tricks to her via email or on social media.","url":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/author\/ashleigh-klein"}]}},"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12188"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
