Unforeseen Scarcity

Previously considered a common item in Pokemon Go, Revives are now in short supply, catching many trainers off guard. The phenomenon has left players questioning why Niantic, the game's developer, has made obtaining Revives so difficult.

Expressing their frustration, players have taken to online forums to share their experiences of rapidly depleting Revive stocks. Some players, accustomed to having ample supplies, find themselves grappling with the unexpected shortage, with one trainer lamenting, "Don't even look at storage 30% of my Pokemon are dead and I have to find somewhere near 60 Revives to heal all my mons."

Mixed Reactions and Strategies

While some trainers were able to stockpile Revives before the shortage hit, others find themselves struggling to cope with the sudden scarcity. Some players have expressed astonishment at the change, with one remarking, "Right? I thought I was the only one feeling it, more than 300 Hyper Potions, and no Revives."

From conserving Revives for their strongest Pokemon to seeking alternative healing methods, trainers are devising ways to navigate through Raids and battles with limited Revives at their disposal. In light of the Revive shortage, trainers are advised to exercise caution and monitor their Pokemon's health more closely. Additionally, players are encouraged to explore alternative means of replenishing Revives, such as participating in Raids and opening gifts.
