Hopefully and also triple XP or double dust.
I think that the egg hatches are cool, eggs are the absolute best way to get powerful competitive pokémon as well as bulk stardust and candy. However, I think it’s a bit disappointing and I think ideally the reduced egg distance should overlap with the eggstravaganza, but this is cool too. Think about it, you’ll be just slamming through eggs on the 15th. I personally like it.
Nah, we all thought we had it with the Kanto starters getting a community day, especially when frenzy plant got added, the next steps just seemed so obvious. 9000%, it’s an RNG. Set Pikachu for the first one because he’s the series mascot, duh, maybe they chose Dratini to garner more attention (because let’s face it, Pikachu isn’t that great and it’s shiny was already available). The pattern of the choices seemed to make a ton of sense once Bulbasaur was revealed, but I think it’s just as likely that we were connecting dots that weren’t there. We’ll have more evidence to support a pattern theory after the next reveal, but right now, Occam’s Razor supports it’s just an RNG, picks a number from the dex that isn’t legendary, mythical, or unreleased, and the devs work from there. Personally, I think it’s more interesting that way so that there’s just more to anticipate.

They should have done a better job of pairing the quality of Pokémon with the quality of the reward. If they would have paired dratini with egg distance everyone would have been excited. If Mareep was paired with double stardust or triple XP, people would be more enthusiastic.

Hit it right on the head. Some like a Mareep but gen 1ers will always be in masses.
Mareep with egg and and double xp would of been amazing.

I was expecting Mareep as a Community Day Pokémon at least some time this year. (like I’m also expecting Charmander in the near future and Larvitar as an absolute highlight, maybe for July Community Day for Pokémon Go anniversary?)
With the reduced egg hatching distance I’m a bit torn…I love hatching eggs, but at least at the moment with the Eggstravaganza I’m not getting a lot of eggs (my egg space has even been empty in between - never had that before) and the few hatches I get are trash. I can only hope I can accumulate some 5k and 10k eggs before next CD so that I can get some use out of the three hours. Stardust, XP or even candy are a better bonus, but I guess they simply wanted to try a different bonus this time.
I definitely don’t mind getting shiny Mareep/Flaaffy/Ampharos, though. The CD shinies seem to be the only ones I get…

This community day is a little quicker than the others… wondering if they are gearing up for bi-monthly community days for summer?? Otherwise, I’m OK with Mareep. I think the Shinies make it OK for everyone, but Ampharos attack is definitely high enough for me to use in raids/gym battles.

quicker?
It’s happening earlier in the month is what I think they were trying to say

Looking forward to getting another shiny in my dex to be honest!
And I have noticed that Mareep were hatching more frequently for me.

Any speculation as to what the new move would be? Im not 100% sure but I don’t believe Ampharos has a Signature or Special Move as far as Gen 3 movesets go…
It seems that Niantic is pulling movesets from later Gens as in the case of Dragonite / Draco Meteor (First appearing in Gen 4 games).
That being said - is it possible we might get a one off move from a much later gen such as dragon pulse for Ampharos’ community day move? Hmmmmmmmmmm…
Hoping for Wild Charge
11am to 2pm on Sunday is extremely hard for me to get out to participate at all. So it doesn’t matter whether I like the Pokemon they chose to feature. (I didn’t get out until 4pm on Bulbasaur day.) I’m just glad that I was able to make it for an hour of Dratini day, since Dratini’s been a personal favorite since I started playing this silly-but-addictive game.

I like this one. ever since i accidentally transferred my 95 iv one I could use a better one.
Contrary to popular belief, not every Pokemon player has a full squadron of Raikous, Zapdosses, or even Jolteons. For those players, who will attend raids in your neighbourhood, Ampharos is a perfectly viable solution when Electric types are required. And with the Community Happy Hour event, those players should be able to evolve about 3 Ampharosses if they just keep catching for the events’ duration.

I’m not too happy with Community Day Mareep. I can catch 1000 of those in the wild.

I’m down for this one. I’m still working to evolve the final form, and I rarely find a Mareep anywhere, so this will out me get closer to filling that Pokedex.
I don’t need Ampharos because I already have 2. But both my kids don’t have it yet.
By that I mean haven’t they been towards the end of the month in the past? This one is a little earlier (15th) so I was just speculating.
