Had intentions of playing to hunt 100% in hope of snagging shundo(s).
Come Saturday I had no enthusiasm to to play at all. Opened the game while at home once and caught the home spawns over 10-12min then turned the game off.
Got one Shiny.
Didn’t play Sunday at all. Did my daily Spin and catch earlier in the day when I had to go out. Didn’t turn game on again unit 8pm to do some trades.
Could call it PoGo Fatigue. When you have that feeling you just can’t be bothered with the game. I’ve let my daily streak go twice over the last 2 months feeling the same.

I wish they’d give us a special item to control if Eevee evolves into Vaporeon/Jolteon/Flareon, because I’m running out of Eevee shinies and only managed to get 5 Flareon so far… nothing else out of that randomness!
I think it could be neat to have an evolution stone, just for the community day or something…
Using the nickname trick for shinies with poor stats, just to have the register and the special community day attack, seems a bit of a waste. Am I overthinking this here? 
It’s all part of the evil master plan of making you play more to get what you want.
It’s a pity the name trick only works one time and not give you 2-3 goes to use it.

Yes, it becomes a bit frustrating…
No interest in Quacker CD apart from getting 3x Shiny. Just drove around around in the car for 2 1/2hrs letting the GoPlus and auto catchers get whatever while stopping to take the odd Gym here and there.
Returns were low and well down on the amount of balls used. Did they forget to nerf the catch/flee rate as the normally do for starter CD’s?
Around 140 caught, would have expected just below or up to 220-30.
No surprise 100%
Only 3 Shiny
Crap underwhelming CD tbh

I didn’t have as much fun in this community day as I did in the previous one, mainly because I had a much harder time getting shinies, as well, and I tried to play for longer than expected, too, to compensate. I don’t think my mood was the best that day either, so for a big part I just wanted to get it over with, which is not the best state of mind to be playing in (apart from the hot weather).
Is the daily incense anti shiny, for some particular reason? I only started playing at around 2h30 and popped that one first, just in case I found any legendary birds, and didn’t see any shinies for the first 30 min. I opened and closed the app, just in case, and nothing. Then I gave it a go with the normal incense and there it was, almost immediately after, too. I thought it was very weird… I started finding them during that incense, but I felt it was much “rarer” than previous community days (for me anyway). This pokemon was also more difficult to catch, so all the wasted pokeballs didn’t help my mood. 
Still, I managed enough candies to have all the evolutions (yey for the extra candy bonus!) and Quaquaval became a new register for me, as well as securing a complete shiny family.
All in all:
shinies: 7 in total, after what felt like ages to get them going…
Some ducks with very nice stats, something I struggled with whenever I found Quaxly in the wild, so that’s nice!

Had family visiting, so couldn’t really play. Snagged three shiny Quaxly which I am happy with. Didn’t even know what the shiny looked like tbh, I care very little for Quaxly anyway.

Better not use daily incense during Community Day, regular incense is better for shinies.

I had no idea, I thought it was the same thing. I’ve used the normal one many times, as it lasts a long time during this day, but decided to start with the daily one, just in case (and also because I’m running kind of low). Now I know!

I completely missed this one for my own Reasons.
Oh well, I’ll need to catch one in december then
Another low interest CD for me.
Already have the 100% family. Only interest was picking up enough Shiny for the family.
After 2hrs 45min I only had 2 Shiny then got another 2 in the last 15min.
Just drove around letting the GoPlus get whatever while stopping occasionally to do Raids or DMax battles.
245 caught
No surprise 100%
4x Shiny

I played one part at home and then I went out. It was raining slightly so I could still play. I used incense, mega evolved Rayquaza. I didn’t buy the special research and I forgot to take snapshots this time. I did 2 raids, put my 2 XXL Rookidee in showcases. I used 1/4 hatch distance for incubators to hatch all my 10km and 12km eggs. The results will be posted in the Pick a challenge! thread. I got 12 shinies, even found 2 back-to-back! 
I evolved 7 Corviknight with Air Cutter. Since I was using party play, I did some field research tasks and got 5 Rookidee with a special background. I also used 1 lucky egg and 1 star piece when I hatched the eggs.

Was away on a weekend trip. Nonetheless I encountered about 100 rookidee, evolved my dynamax corvisquire, found 0 shiny.
I enjoyed this one, especially because it’s a pokemon I find very cute and it has a really cool final evolution. Corvisquire is pretty neat, too, but Corviknight is impressive… different moods, I guess! I really like corvids in real life so the appeal here for me is natural and innevitable.
I already had some birds with very good stats waiting for this day to get evolved into the final stage, so that wasn’t a concern. Finding shinies was the real challenge as that’s been taking me longer of late. I used the normal incense right away, this time, but they were still very shy. Still, I ended up finding quite a few and managed to complete the family.
The weather was nice, not too hot, not too windy and I was in the mood for a long walk, so all in all it was a nice event! I also appreciated the half distance for egg hatching, that always helps.
Total:
6 shinies
1st place on a showcase with rookidee 
(I already had a gigantic little bird in my collection before the event, so I was basically very curious if somebody else could top that. Unfortunately no incubator as a reward… that should be more common for 1st place…)

Couldn’t be bothered dedicating time for this CD as I already had the 100% Blue, Orange and White families. If all the colours were available it may have got me interested. Not having the Shinys was still not enough to get me enthusiastic.
Ended up turning the game on while have having a coffee and donuts after some shopping. Caught 67 manually without getting a Shiny. Drove home letting the GoPlus catch a few more for a total of 83 caught. Got 4 shiny in that last lot 2x Blue and 2x White, stupid game.
Less than 1hr game play
87 catches
2 Blue Shiny
2 Orange Shiny

24 red shinies, 4 orange shinies and 6 white shinies. Not a single one of them is 3*. No Hundos either. I am glad to have finished at least 3 of the 5 shiny families, but I am still a bit discontent by the fact they didn’t let the other two flowers spawn world wide as well after them totally forgetting to turn on Flabébé spawns all Summer. I still think it is unacceptable. I see no point in regionals when these ‘regionals’ don’t even spawn in their respective regions.
