Two and a half ours played from home because I am currently ill.
I just got the second shiny and I’ll stop here. Got both shiny and I have evolved them
Here were a lot of shinies around, I caught about 35 of them, and three Hundos (I had two from before). So tomorrow I can do, without hasting, the exchanges with one of my accounts, and so create shiny evolutions without payings. The Hundos will evolve with candies, the danger to loose their IV is too high.
@Brobraam I hope you feel better soon!
I could only participate for a little bit in this community day and, even though I kept checking for pokemon and made use of the photo bomb throughout the event, I only managed to get 2 shiny karrablast. At least I’ll have the full family at some point. I also got an almost perfect Shelmet, so that’s something!
I’m still looking forward to what’s coming in the next few days, in that timed special research, so maybe I’ll get a shiny shelmet, too.
I couldn’t play for the entire event, only for 2 hours. I didn’t buy special research, took only 2 snapshots, used incense, star pieces, mega evolved Charizard Y, did 1 Moltres raid, won 1 showcase. I only got 3 shinies, 3 Fuecoco with special background and I evolved 10 Skeledirge with Blast Burn (best IV 98%).
Working for $ was was more important than this CD for me. I already had the 3x 100% and I have very little care for shiny. I finished work at 4pm and by the time I take a shower to wash the ton of dust and dirt off me I was left with 40min of CD time. Pulled our local map up and found a big CP 100% to get between work and home as the other family accounts needed one more.
My account got 2x Shiny on the GoPlus while the others got 5-6 on the DuoCatchmon.
Evolved one of the 100% to get Blast Burn.
I hate the Saturday CD’s as I have to sacrifice earning $ to play.
Congrats to @Branebs for the haul. I was preoccupied with obligatory stuff and totslly forgot about the CD.
I decided to wait until the Special Research was over to leave a comment, just in case I caught anything particularly special, but they were all very meh.
So, regarding the community day itself, I only played for a while, since I had another storm in my area. I was still very lucky and found all the shinies that I needed to complete the family early on, so that wasn’t a concern anymore. I still wanted to find a very good fuecoco so I had a worthy Skeledirge, but that was a lot more difficult and I had to pop into the game randomly and see what was up.
In the end, I evolved 1 Fuecoco all the way to Skeledirge and found a particular large one that made me believe, almost until closing time, that I could win a showcase. In the end, only second place for me!
In total: 5 shinies
Registered Crocalor and Skeledirge (1 being very good) into the pokedex
The bad part? No stickers again…
This inconsistency and lack of effort is disappointing, particularly when is something so simple that should “be a given”. I’m not particularly fond of this pokemon, although seeing fuecoco’s cute face many times made it more appealing to me!, but it makes me hesitant for Totodile’s community day.
I LOVE that pokemon and it was my starter in sapphire, so I’m very much looking forward to that community day and I would appreciate all the bonus I can get. And that includes stickers…
