Edit: 10x stardust rewards across 2 accounts. Smh

They should open up the rewards for training against the AI a bit. It's really not engaging otherwise. Five might be a bit much but three a day would be nice.

The 6 hour lures in high population/gym/stop density is great for anyone starting out because all stops will be lured. I even ran into useful mons like larvitar. Couldn't stay out too long because I had to get back to work.

Evolving Swinub is also 25 candy already instead of 50. Finally evolved my 96IV beast. Did have to burn through 2 TM's to get Avalanche. Glad it's available already.

Out of 10 trainer battles, I got 1 stone and 1 candy. The rest dust.

I evolved 4 swinubs. 2 of them got Powder Snow + Avalanche. The others got Mud Slap + Stone Edge. I burned my only Charged TM, but got Bulldoze. :/.

I think I'll probably just do 2 Ancient Powers and another regular.

Main goal tomorrow aside from the shinies is just to get as much candy as possible, since I already have a decent amount of high level piggies. I have 140 pinaps and they all need to go tomorrow. I need to farm candy because I got tired of catching swinub early on. If I do enough tomorrow, I won't need to for a long time.

It looks like I'll be in Utah tomorrow, which has its own time zone. Does anyone know what times the Community day window will be for that?

Got my 10 sinnoh stones. It's been confirmed from other regions too. So you can do that from midnight onwards whichever zone you're in.

I suppose if you have enough dust, the optimal move set would be to unlock a second move before evolving and get both Ancient Power and Avalanche. Or, simply unlock Avalanche through a second move later. Right, I suppose I should have thought of that before evolving 4 swinubs. Oh well, I'll probably have enough time to tomorrow to do 3 more.

That's a good idea. Except I still don't know what I'd do with Ancient Power, since I don't care about PvP. I might do that with a couple, just to have it.

I thought the cheap moves only worked on baby forms?

Edit: Oh wait, I see what you're saying, nevermind. Yeah, I'll wait and get Avalanche after.

Not found anything shiny so far. Seems like it might be lower odds since I found like 5 Totodiles last time.

It's my first community day since I haven't played for a couple years. Are shiny Pokémon more common on community days? Because I've found two shiny Swinub so far.

I caught 7 shinies within the first hour. In the Dratini event I went the full 3 hours and got only one at the end.

It's RNG. Don't know why people think any more of it. If you didn't get one it's because you had bad luck

Caught 7 shinies with just the Go+ lol. Feel like the shiny rate is way higher than before. That or I have obscene luck. Caught like 20 Swinubs total.

Event ended an hour ago here. Got 10 shinies, most of those in the first hour. One had high IV but low cp so I turned that into my trophy Mamoswine with Ancient Power. Used all my pinaps and ended up with 2300 candy, so I can make an entire Swine army now.

Hatched a bunch of eggs too, one of them luckily a Happiny in a sea of trash.

Greetings from the past. Just got my 5 AI sinnoh. I find yellow team easiest. My salamence obliterates all 3 with 40% remaining. Breakfast time.

Finally found a group to go at Palkia with, but the whole thing was ruined by network issues. Got one good run where we just ran out of time, and then constant crashes and disconnects.

I thought this was a great community day. There were tons of spawns, with only a rare stray Pokémon, none of the Valentine stuff either. Got everything I wanted out of it. First hour here all the piggies were boosted too because of the sunny weather.

I don't know if the update caused this, but I've been experiencing issues as well. When I want to enter the lobby at the arranged time, I've had the network error multiple times and I've had to restart the app with others already in the lobby.

So I had that error, I had one where there were 6 of us in the lobby and it just started me on my own, and then I had a recurring one where the large "GO" animation just stayed on screen and the raid didn't start. It's so frustrating, and doubly so when you don't find a group very often and you're limited on time.

Tbh, I think the idea of how raid participation is limited to your geographical location is kind of bullshit anyway, but I very much doubt that's going to change anytime soon, even though it easily could.

No shinies, but not too bothered anyway as I seem to have fairly poor luck with them. Got enough Combee candy to evolve and just a few away from Rhyperior then I've got everything from Sinnoh so far. And 10 extra stones that I'm not going to need unless there's a new wave needing them.

I've been playing since launch. Just started to get more seriously into this game after getting an EX pass gifted to me by a friend last month (and realizing I wasn't very good at the raid/gym part of things). Are there any good places to find local raid partners for 4-5 star raids? I work on a college campus so I have a lot of gyms and stops around on weekdays that I frequent but live out of town so weekends of Community day can be bittersweet. Oh well going to Goodwill and the grocery store with a stop to see if I get lucky this afternoon.

Got 6 shinies on my main account and 5 on my second account.

Not bad at all considering I stopped for brunch and went to an art gallery during the CD period.

Look at the Silph Road Community Map if there's a Discord server for your area: https://thesilphroad.com/map#2/40.29/-76.66

However not every city works with discord, some use fb groups too. Discord is way better to coordinate for raids, but some cities cling to FB still. So search for your city + PoGo in FB too.

Hey Qwark , are you QwarkWulfric ingame? Because we're one gift away from ultra friends. I sometimes forget to give people a nickname and I see you're not on the spreadsheet, so I'm not sure. If it's you we can set a time for an egg through pm

I was hoping to time it together with Brazil

Day wasn't a total loss raid-wise. Didn't have a Shinx yet so I found one of them in a raid and got my Aggron to kick it in the face repeatedly.

Concussed Shinx get.

Wanted to do a Raid near me but it's Palkia so yeah no one is going to show up for that one. So guess it's waiting for tommorow. Today will probably be walking and collecting pokeballs and gifts so I can send some out.

Was not planning on participating but I was out with people so I opened up Go and the spawns were tremendous. Managed three shiny despite not really doing too much. Got a good Mamoswine too.
