As much as I would like a shiny Machop, I think I will be voting for Vulpix and Rhyhorn. Definitely will not be voting for Dratini.

Niantic have no plan, they’ve run out of ideas.
Let the tail wag the dog by letting people bite on what’s next 
Personally I don’t care what it will be. I won’t bother to vote.

While making us spin stops for a specific task is a little odd, this is an interesting idea overall. I sort of expected the CD Pokemon setup to have to change at some point anyway. We’ll eventually run out of starters and pseudo/near-pseudo legendaries, so this makes some sense.
My opinions on who to vote for, like most people, mostly revolve around personal experiences.
-
Vulpix: A popular Pokemon with two forms, so this is a decent choice. I’d consider Vulpix, but am not sure if I’d vote for it in the end. It’s definitely not uncommon where I live, and that factors in a little because Vulpix doesn’t really excite me at this point.
-
Machop: Long mentioned for CD, this is more than likely my choice. I’m not a fan of this Pokemon personally, Machamp is already potent, and I have a 100% IV maxed-out version of it … but, I have failed to get the shiny so far.
-
Rhyhorn: If not Machop, I’m voting for Rhyhorn. I love Rhyperior getting Rock Wrecker and while I doubt it will make it more competitively relevant, the Poke-fan in me just likes seeing a Pokemon get it’s signature move. On top of that, it’s shiny hasn’t been released yet. Nice option.
-
Dratini: Absolutely not. If Dratini wins, I will have no part of this CD. As someone who has played since the beginning, I’ve had my fill of this Pokemon. Even after several gens were released, it felt like half of my 10K hatches were flipping Dratini. lol … besides, it already had a CD! Let other Pokemon get their moment. On a personal level, I already have the shiny (several, in fact) and have a maxed-out 100% IV version already as well. Not interested in the slightest.

I can’t pass up the opportunity to re-post this… 
My thoughts:
Vulpix - meh
Dratini - been there, done that
Machop - ditto
Rhyhorn - best of the bunch, gets my vote

They are running out of Pokémon that are in previous CD pattern
Vulpix: might be good for PvP, nice shiny and has two forms
Machop: might be good for PvP, may not be good in raid
Dratini: repeated and might be good for PvP
Rhyhorn: might be good for PvE and it’s only one that needs Sinnoh Stone to evolve to final stage
I mean I wouldn’t mind shiny machop, it would definitely be my third choice, except I want a mon that doesn’t have a shiny form already released. If I have to grind harder for a shiny Machop that’s fine with me. And I or don’t really do pvp so whether it’s effectiveness in pve/pvp doesn’t really matter to me.
Just saying,
There now is a chance for gible to get a CD later!

I think it will be going to be Rhyhorn. Not just based on this, I had some fun reading which one everone wants, and most of them said Rhyhorn.

- Rhyhorn: Nice shiny, strong evolve with a move full of potential. Clear winner!
- Vulpix: Looks nice and I like the move as well. A good 2nd.

- Machop: It is alleady shiny released. It is shiny available allready and has the best moveset. Why give it a CD with such a
move? And yes: I need some shiny Machop as well. - Dratini: It allready has his CD, with his end year CD too, so new options please! Even last year some Dratini were available again!
move? And yes: I need some shiny Machop as well.

Regardless who win - the idea is just brilliant!
The major fault of democracy is that each vote has the same weight.
Here players who are active will have to chance to vote multiple times having more to say than occasional players.
Absolutely genius idea!

Except in Amerika where a vote from some states are worth more than a vote from other states. The electoral college, people.
But this way of voting is awesome
If I speak only from Shinies that I don’t have, Dratini is the only one I don’t want to be selected for Community Day since we already had him.
If I speak only for moves that would actually benefit a Pokemon outside of PvP, Rhyhorn is my only choice.

I’m a bit worried about how far away Rhyhorn stands.
I guess you wouldn’t want to stand that close to a stampeding rhino in real life though…
I’ve given up trying to catch them with a curveball and usually just loop a straight one and hope for the best - but I don’t really want to be doing that for the whole time on a Community Day - when fast catching usually equals more shinies.

I would say most promising would be Rhyhorn - it could be No2 Rock… And the only one getting STAB move.
Machop would also be nice - as getting its candy is painfully slow.
Vulpix seems useless - maybe pvp - I have no idea.
Dratini is a funny one - if chosen - and evolved in December - which move it would get then: Draco Meteor or Superpower or Both?

I think it may be random between the two
my point exactly… imagine you have a hundo you evolve in Feb with Superpower, by some lucky miracle you will find another hundo in August and keep it till December… click ‘evolve’ and bum! another Superpower hundo - congratulations!
Kindly skip the political trolling here.

There was always the chance, they wouldnt dismiss the most “attractive” Mon for CD just because it technically has its ridiculously rare shiny out
Oh and Rhyperior has a slightly better DPS than Terrakion, kinda neat I guess
