Pokemon GO players are starting to believe that Niantic is making Revives more difficult to obtain, following the most recent Raid Day event.

Numerous Pokemon GO players are debating how a simple change in the IV of Pokemon acquired through Special Research would improve these events. Although these Pokemon already have a floor IV that is moderately above average, Pokemon GO players who acquire a shiny mythical within these standard values feel as frustrated as if they hadn't acquired the Pokemon at all.
