Got 6 shinies and a normal hundo totadile yesterday, only played for half the event so I got pretty lucky
OP
OP
I did! lol. Used like 8 of those to try to pinap it, but eventually just used golden razz berries.
Another Suicune! I'm not even mad anymore, I've just accepted it. Over the past month and a half I've gotten 2 Zapdos and nothing but dogs.
Complete with all eggs in the lead up being guaranteed trapinch. And all hatch candy from other species being converted to trapinch candy upon hatching.
I'm ready for Ralts Community Day. And then they should release Gallade at the same time.
It's really weird that they're doing what basically amounts to a Feebas Community Day next week. They could've gotten away with doing that in its own month.

Well it's not getting a special move either way. I just meant they could have done this for February and most people probably would have accepted that being the month's CD.

That's what I mean. It's not getting a special move. And this is better, as means we can get something else (like Bagon! or Trapinish....) for Feb.
Maybe if we are lucky, we will get Traphinish for a quest... lol
On the one hand, meh. On the other hand, if it gets a good move and gives me a use for the 1100 candy I have...? Bring it on.
Slakoth seems like a much less interesting probable CD candidate.
Got myself about six shiny Totodile, and evolved 9 Feraligatr. Pretty good day, except it was raining for the first 45 minutes or so and the app refused to believe it. I felt cheated lol.
I'm excited for Feebas next weekend!
Also, incredibly jealous of the user who keeps getting shiny breakthrough Pokemon. I keep getting the dang dogs, plus one regular Articuno.

Given community day talk, I was curious about looking into likely candidates as the year goes on. Of course, we have some parameters we can use to narrow the list down. I've put together a list of trends/major requirements we can observe (and that should already be obvious) -
1. Every other month is a starter in Pokedex order (barring December's roundup).
2. Besides Eevee, for unique reasons, every community day Pokemon has been a 3-stage evolution.
3. Niantic has been utterly reluctant to introduce later-introduced pre-evos (Igglybuff, Azurill, etc.) in the wild, which might negate their appearance for community days.
4. Let's assume, for our collective sanity, that Niantic won't do a Beedrill community day and will disqualify very common and utterly meta-irrelevant species.
With that in mind, here is a list of 3-stage evo Pokemon as of Generation 4, as I am operating under the assumption that Generation 5 won't be around until late this year and thus not eligible for 2019 community days, with my above guidelines factored in. Furthermore, I'll lop off previously featured Pokemon by listing them first. I've taken the liberty of pruning down obvious above-point 4 Pokemon; feel free to disagree.
Previously featured community days in order -
Raichu (Jan 2018)
Dragonite (Feb 2018)
Venusaur (Mar 2018)
Ampharos (Apr 2018)
Charizard (May 2018)
Tyranitar (June 2018)
Blastoise (July 2018)
Eevee (Aug 2018)
Meganium (Sept 2018)
Metagross (Oct 2018)
Typhlosion (Nov 2018)
Feraligatr (Jan 2019)
Now, assuming starters remain on the normal schedule, let's add -
Sceptile (Mar 2019)
Blaziken (May 2019)
Swampert(July 2019)
Torterra (Sept 2019)
Infernape (Nov 2019)
Empoleon (Jan 2020)
Which leaves us with February, April, June, August, and October 2019 to fill out, assuming that this December will be another roundup. So, choose from the list -
Vileplume / Bellossom
Poliwrath / Politoed
Alakazam
Machamp
Victreebel
Golem
Gengar (was previously in a special raid day)
Crobat
Ludicolo
Shiftry
Gardevoir / Gallade
Slaking
Aggron
Flygon
Walrein
Salamence
Luxray
Roserade
Garchomp
Weavile
Magnezone
Rhyperior
Electivire
Magmortar
Togekiss
Mamoswine
Porygon-Z
Dusknoir
My personal assumptions -
Gardevoir / Gallade - Gives them a twofer and perhaps an excuse to introduce the next round of Gen 4 evos
Salamence - Obvious reasons
Garchomp - I think this one could be used to introduce a new Pokemon by way of community day, which might be very handy in Gen 5 if they keep the slow trickle and keeping in mind that generations plethora of 3-stage evos (20 of them!).

They're totally doing Lucario at some point. I wouldn't write off Jigglypuff, either. Or Chansey. They're probably not doing something that already has a shiny form like Togekiss, Electivire, etc. my bet is Salamence, Mamoswine, and Gardevoir.
Still no Gible so don't really care. They should mix the starters up though instead of going the linear grass/fire/water route.
You know what would be a QoL improvement? Shiny encounters in the overworld. I keep clicking on Caterpies and Murkrows in the hopes of a shiny and get disappointed every time. Imagine if they released all the common crap as shinies.

Also the off months (non starters) were all 10k egg hatches which is why Bagon / Ralts are two of the often talked about
Slakoth (and the terror of Trappinch) I think are the only other 3 stage evolves that were in 10k eggs ?
** edit ** forgot to add Shinx as a possible , and using those criteria Porygon could also be possible but you need something to sort out the item issues with them (on a community day you obviously need to be able to farm both Upgrades to get Porygon to Porygon2 and Sinnoh stones to get to PorygonZ)
This game really doesn't want to give me any Sinnoh stones. I've had one since they were introduced.
I started a dummy account a few days ago to do the pvp battles but no stones in a few days here as well. Most of the time I only get dust and otherwise 1 rare candy. I still need 2 for the current evos, but a lot of people have been saving up for the next batch. I haven't been that lucky yet.
I did get lucky in my egg hatches: got another gligar so I can do the evolution and another Bagon. I could get my first Salamence, but I'm going to wait and see what the feb community is going to be.

Same here.. and I have candy for literally everything ready.
Hope so. I've been saving up loads of raid passes for the eventual return of Groudon. My favorite shiny.
Heatran was gone anyway so that'll be the full two weeks of the event: Jan. 15, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. PST (GMT −8) to Jan. 29, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. PST (GMT −8)
They said Hoenn pokemon will be in 7km eggs. So it probably isn't going to mean anything good unless they raise the rate of Azurill/Wynaut or have the regionals in them, which they probably would've mentioned if they were going to do that.
Hell yeah. I can finally get Groudon! And I can hopefully catch more Kyogre to supplement the sole one I was able to catch when I first started (which is admittedly great at 15/15/11). I'm sitting on 112 premium raid passes. Thankfully I should be able to get into a healthy number of raids given these two guys are popular and desirable.
Also, with Breloom getting an exclusive move, Niantic is only making it harder to justify evolving anything if it isn't immediately useful to you.
And just got my third Sinnoh Stone, woo! Guess that'll be for my lucky Electabuzz for Kyogre raids.

They could throw in the regional pokemon again, like they did for the Kanto event.
Hopefully I can catch both a kyogre and groudon. There is not too much in the way of Hoenn I need outside the legendary pokemon and regional. Looking over my list.
Bunch of Lotads would be nice, few more Mudkips, Ralts, Slaking, Whalmer, dare I say Trapnich. That would complete must of the common ones
The email from a week or two ago said that the Hoenn hemisphere regionals will probably switch soon. Maybe this'll be the last week for those with increased spawns, and then maybe next week they'll switch with increased spawns in their new regions.
Also, the email said legendaries such as Kyorge and Groudon. "such as" doesn't rule out the possibility of other ones.
Overall, I'm hoping I will be able to finally evolve my cactus from this event, as well as get enough Slakoths to evolve, too.
Hey guys, I need to add three friends for special research and have already added everyone I know playing beforehand.
My code is: 8688 3649 1850
Would appreciate any friend requests :)

Slakoth should definitely be covered by the first, although biomes and weather will still be affecting things. There's a chance he shows up as a research task, too.
Lol they are really milking the Gen 4 release. Now we are going to go a whole month without any new Gen 4 Pokemons. Release Gible dammit!
It's awful. I still haven't found a Bronzor nor enough of Skorupi, Croagunk, or Finneon for their evos (I have seen and caught 1 Finneon).
I surmised that as a possibility above. It'd be a huge, welcome surprise and set them up to potentially do the same in Gen 5, which has 19(!) 3-stage evos. If they trickle out Gen 5 like they're doing with 4 (or, god forbid, worse), it'd give them wiggle room.
For Gen V, I'd hope they'd pull a similar move like they did for the games, and have only Gen V be available for some amount of time. Maybe not all the species of Gen V, but most.
