Took 90min to get my first one. 17 all up in the end with nothing better than 2 stars.
Got a 100% so that’s good. Get one from trades and I’ll have the whole family.
I let the GoPlus do everything and loaded up on Gyms a long way from home.
The CD was great! I got 7 shinies, many Hoppip with good IVs and even one hundo! 
I went to a park to take AR photos and there were plenty of Skiploom. I used an incense and star piece. I evolved 8 Jumpluff with Acrobatics and got one from the special research which had good IVs. There weren’t many raids at the time I was playing so I couldn’t use the free raid passes that were given during the CD.
Having 4 days of 3x transfer candy was the highlight of my week.
Then came Community Day, which was kind of like having two separate events, back-to-back: Twenty shinies in the first half (though none over 300 CP). Zero after that. None. Nada. Zilch. Period.
Just f’n dandy. But not all that big a deal, since Hiphop is one of my less-favorite mons. I mean Hopip. Whatever…
As for screenshots, I’ll post all my good ones from today (i.e. none). Besides, @bobbyjack8 posted enough for both of us. (Congrats for the nice collection!)
It was raining cats and dogs here in the UK.
So I spent much of the time sheltering from the storm, whilst leeching Wi-fi from the various coffee shops around my local town.
Hoppip? I got enough - who really cares?
Community Days are a busted flush - time to jazz-‘em-up a little please Niantic…

5 shiny caught during CD, but in terms of bonus, this CD is the best, 3x catch dust + 3 free raid passes, and double catch candy + 3x transfer candy from Valentine event.

I was going to try to walk around for the entire six hours again but I really had a hard time with that as I haven’t done a walk in weeks. Ended up getting 36 Shinies though, and hopefully Niantic finally comes up with some more interesting events so I can prepare for Johto Tour.

In the 45 minutes I was able to play - 15 more than I expected - I caught 0 shinies. Which kinda sucked. I do like Hoppip as a pokemon.
Did have a wonderful day, doing one of my favourite things: sit around a fire with people who I love.
Could’ve been better if I had that green animate helicopter though. Gotta grind that one a bit more in December I guess
It was okay. I played for two hours (from home). Got 4 or 5 shinies, one kantonian sandshrew and the rest alolan. Got 1 good IV shiny, rest was garbage. But that’s fine

About the same. It was neither heinous nor huge; just sort of meh. (Kind of like my general impression of the featured Pokémon.)

No idea how many caught. Let the GoPlus do all the work while I drove around sight seeing with little Miss Kanga.
No 100% of either region.
13 Shiny all up with a 7/6 split.
Only good thing was the mixed spawns the entire time not broken in into 1 region per hour on rotation.

Pretty much skipped out on it. Heavily nerfed incenses, already have a hundo Sandshrew and both Shinies, lackluster bonus led me to pretty much sit this one out. I caught what I saw for the Stardust, but that’s it.
Got all I wanted, but with one strange effect:
On the main account 6 alolan shinys, on the alt 5 kantonian shinys.
Running around a lot, but no chance to get them mixed up.

Community Day spawns were absolutely broken. In the first four hours, the Kanto form hardly even spawned, then they were everywhere for an hour and after that the spawns were more balanced. At some point I clicked on an Alolan Sandshrew, which turned into a Kantonian Sandshrew, and then they all randomly did and vice versa. Niantic definitely “shrewed” up again.
Either way, I got a total of 99 Shiby Sandshrew still, which is slightly more than usual. 65 were Alolan and 34 Kantonian. No wonder I got more Alolans, as 90% of the spawns were that one until 14:46, which makes no sense. No Shundo, only three even had 3* and were still bad, but that’s no big deal to me. It was still one of the better Community Days they’ve done so far.
Also, just after the change point I actually got three Shiny Green Skin Shrews in a row, without even clicked a regular one in between:
PS total says 98 because I put one Shiny in the research stack.

Very unusual CD for me. Playing on a small Caribbean island with hardly any spawns and virtually no Pokestops or Gyms.
It also has incredibly expensive data roaming charges, so I was stuck with the apartment wi-fi.
Curse the nerf to incense! - the only time I really needed it and it was useless.
Anyhoo, luck was on my side and I scrambled 3 shinies - including the Alolan I needed to complete the full family set. Now I can forget PoGo for a bit and concentrate on the rum, swimming and sunbathing.

I was sick during Community Day, so I couldn’t go out. I didn’t buy the special research, I couldn’t hatch eggs, so I only used incense. I had luck in the beginning, I found two shinies, both Alolan Sandshrew that I didn’t have. I have around 7 spawn points at my house, so I was able to play because incense is so bad now. In the end, I got 4 shinies in total: 3 Alolan and 1 Kantonian Sandshrew. Luckily, I had 2 shiny Kantonian Sandshrew that I caught before. I found a couple of good-IV Sandshrew, so I was able to evolve both forms. This wasn’t one of the most exciting CDs, but I’m glad that I managed to do everything that I could in these circumstances.
Highest CP shiny
All the evolved forms

For the Mudkip classic I was pleasantly surprised to be able to play. Not much beyond that was pleasing… It’s probably a toss-up which was worse: the spawn rate or shiny rate. Using lure and incense the whole 3 hours, my main and alt saw 67 and 64, respectively. Alt got 2 shiny, and main got 1. 
All up it was a big disappointment
Only got to play for 2 of the 3 hours.
No good non Shiny IV and again for the second time no Shiny IV better than 1 star. XL Candy haul between catches and and transfers was way below what I was hoping for and that was the main reason for making an effort.

It was a lovely spring day in my part of the world.
Warm enough for lunch outside and an ice cream.
I evolved my hundo mudkipper into swamp thing and got enough XL candy to max it Level 50.
Little else of interest was achieved.
