>Start a festival plaza mission and get 2-5 participants >Join

Thought it was better the more people there is. I never get any stars playing alone but when I join and start up a game with 10-40 people I always get between 30-45 FC

getting more players is much better which is why I'm miffed that whenever I start a mission I only get less than 10 participants.

>>30610929
Exactly! lol I don't see OPs problem here.

Sometimes there's no missions to join, and if you start your own, no one shows up.

This also bugs me, there's a shitload of players in every mission, but as soon as I start one I'm lucky to net above 15 participants.

Since then I only use my tickets to play different missions so at least I have a record other than 0

Seems like everyone just plays Type matchup and inverse type matchup.

Maybe if the other missions were more engaging than "find this specific text"

Honestly I have never seen anyone host anything else except type matchups.

>>30611394
Type matchup also gives wayyy more coins than anything else. There's just not enough time for 5 stars in anything else.

There was one I joined which was "Inverse-type match up" and got around 400+ participants. It was fucking insane and ofc, I got the maximum FC which was 60

I've noticed that the more missions you host in a row the more participants you seem to get. at least that's what i saw. i did 3 in a row and every time i had more participants.

The servers prioritize those closest to it (aka lowest ping).
The servers are in Japan.

Why don't you faggots play show off muscles?

>>30610869
because you're ugly and nobody likes you

>>30612746
?

Japanese players are the only ones who seems to have enough sense to focus mainly on inverse type matchups. Shit's easy money

Payout notwithstanding, a lot of the other missions are really vague in what you're meant to do. You can easily waste over a minute trying to figure out exactly what NPCs you're supposed to look for.

People would probably play the other missions if they weren't luck-based.

>Find Water type Pokemon!
>Take a loop around the plaza and not a single fucking person has a water type.

Anyone else do what I do? Just join and afk, just browse 4chan. Wait til it ends and hopefully collect 25 coins?

When's the best time to hop on festival plaza for maximum participation? I've found early mornings work. Guessing that's evening time in Japan.

>>30615645
Whenever japanese players are up.

>>30615645
I've been grinding them from around 8 to 11pm central time and I get decent results constantly haven't tried mornings yet
