Just some thoughts that are thoughts I want to share, but are not stand alome entry length.
Try Megaevolve as a Pokemon screen search term to see what Pokemon you can Mega Evolve. Never knew that before.
Two weeks for 5* raids is long enough for repeat 5* Bosses. This latest Giratina Origin with 2 weeks is long enough to get a good chance at a shiny or to get a better Pokemon without wearing out its welcome. The birds at 1 week each were way too quick to me. They could have stayed out another week each. 3 weeks is an overstay. Heatran, in spite of being one of my favorites, did wear out its welcome recently. The only exception is if the Pokemon is a first time release.
I am also happy that more Nanab Berries have been dropping from gifts and spins. I usually use those as Buddy Feed and ran into problems when they were required for the recent The Seasons Change: Part 1 Timed Research. Fortunately, there was enough time to complete the research, but I was unnecessarily delayed since I don’t keep Nanab Berries. Being stuck in place in a timed event due to something as relatively useless (for me anyway) as Nanab Berries is frustrating. I know i was not the only one who vented some frustration. Basically, Nanab Berries are item storage cloggers for me. I will, however, keep a dozen or so around for next time they are called for. I still plan on using them mostly as Buddy Feed though.
No, I will not put a mask on my trainer avatar. I don’t care if you do or not. I like seeing my avatar without a mask, as it is some small sense of “normal” in these insane times. Please no comments on this issue.
So far all I have gotten as potential rewards for the AR Scanning research are: 10 Red and White Balls. 7 Blue and Red Balls, and 1 Max Revive. Not enough compensation.
Whomever made the fake Leek Duck announcement: NO BUENO.
I am looking forward to Darkrai raids!

Glad the LeekDuck announcement was fake.
I got a AR Scanning request last night, but it was too dark then to do it, so it’s still pending. Only for 10 red balls, but it will be easy to do in the daytime, so why not.
I hope after Darkrai, they bring out someone we haven’t seen lately or often. Palkia, Dialga, Lugia, and anything Giovanni has offered prior to Mewtwo would all be welcome. I figure Ho-Oh will be out again around Christmas, but they can squeeze one or two of the others in before then.

I think you are completely right about the amount of time a raid boss stays around. Sometimes when people are super busy they might go a week without a raid, but most of us who play can make sure to do at least a couple of raids in a 2 week period even when busy. After a couple of weeks people have raid boss fatigue. I’ve done tons of Giratina partly because the candy can be used for either form, partly to get rare candy. I always have a rare candy project going.
I try to keep a lot of each kind of berry so I can feed Pokémon in gyms for stardust. I’ve maxed my storage and admit to hoarding revives and potions. I like to have 100 Pineap Berries on Community Day.
But we all need to play the way that works for us. And that play includes what we keep in storage!
