Prioritize Rookidee in Raids
Rookidee is the star of this Max Monday, appearing as the raid boss. While it won’t be winning any awards in the competitive scene, it can be a fun addition for collectors or players looking to fill out their Pokédex. Rookidee is a Flying-type Pokémon, and its evolutions could eventually find a niche in specific formats, particularly in Great League. If you can manage to snag some extra candy, evolving it into Corviknight could be worthwhile down the line.
No Shiny or Bonus Incentives
This event doesn’t offer shiny Rookidee, which might deter some players who are typically eager to hunt for shinies. Additionally, there are no special bonuses associated with this Max Monday. Without the excitement of shiny hunting or extra rewards, the motivation to raid might be a bit low. You’ll want to weigh the fun of raiding against these limitations.
Is It Worth Your Time?
If you’re a completionist or a fan of the Galar region Pokémon, then participating in this event is a no-brainer. However, if you’re focused on optimizing your time or resources, you might want to skip it. With Rookidee's limited competitive viability and no shiny allure, it’s a good time to assess your goals in the game. If you’re looking to power up your roster or chase after more impactful Pokémon, this week might be better spent elsewhere.
