Nice to see Niantic offering a guaranteed way to catch these rare birds, but locking them behind a paywall might ruffle some feathers. At least shiny hunters get another shot at flexing their luck (Keeps it lighthearted while touching on the monetization and the shiny chase, without repeating previous phrasing.)

Ah, Niantic finally giving us a surefire way to snag those elusive Galarian birds—though $8 feels a bit steep for what used to be a free chase. Still, shiny hunters and completionists will probably jump at this without a second thought. (Keeps it casual, acknowledges the monetization, and nods to the player base’s likely reaction without rehashing the details.)
