February's Community Day, and new legendaries, and pokemon!

[ephemera]

February's Community Day will be Feb 24th, and the Pokemon of the day will be Dratini. Oh boy am I hoping the rumours that being the featured Pokemon means a shiny variant as well as the event-specific moveset!

But first! Rayquaza is rotating in as a legendary raid boss (Feb 9th to March 16th - Kyogre's sticking around until Feb 16th) and they are releasing a further batch of new Pokemon. From the 9th to the 13th Hoenn region Pokemon will "take over" in the wild (I'm not clear on if that means 100% of spawns will be Hoenn region 'mon, or just more than usual) and Lures will run for 6 hours until the 23rd (which IMO rather undercuts them running for 3 hours on Community Day on the 24th...)

How did January's community day go in your neck of the woods? How are you going with Kyroge and other new critters? Any joy with Ex-raids?

I was out of town for the Jan community day, but the place where I was had an active group and a huge number of people at a local park, where we did 3 legendary raids in a row and caught lots of Pikachu. I managed to snag two shinies, so I evolved a shiny Raichu as well. Definitely looking forward to February's, when I'll be home with a free weekend.

Kyogre was a pain to catch, but it's been around so long I caught a good stable of 'em eventually, including a couple weather-boosted to Lv25. Only done one Rayquaza so far and it got away.

Doing pretty well on Hoenn so far, got my badge up to 100 and I have a few more I can evolve real soon.
