I ended up with 10 standard shiny Squirtles, and 5 Sunglasses Shinies. I heard about a sixth stop for Sunglasses Shiny, but didn't manage to spin the right one.
In terms of sheer number of shinies, this was my best Community Day to date, narrowly beating out Dratini Day on standards and blowing it out of the water with sunglasses included. In terms of quality, though, Larvitar Day was my best; seven total shinies, one of which was Attention-Catching, and two of which were Wonders - and that was without the stat boosts that research gives us.
I've been working my way up to the gold Pikachu Fan medal with the latest Pika-Hat Bonanza. I'm at about 255, up from 180-ish at the start, and am optimistic about getting it before the end of the month.
I did go on a little bit of a splurge for new fashion items 9_9a The Pikachu shorts for the girl avatar are just so cute! (THE PIKACHU IN THE BACK POCKET, AHHHH!) And I'm pretty fond of the shoes as well. I have yet to see the socks from the banner actually show up in the store, which I'm somewhat torn about; on the one hand, I've been wanting new sock options for aaaaaages. On the other hand, I honestly feel kinda "meh" about these ones. Anyway, I've coordinated my outfit to a slightly ridiculous degree, and if I didn't need/want the Togepi candy so badly, I'd be carrying a (hatted?) Pichu right now.
I also hatched my first Alolan Vulpix today! She is sooooooo cute! Her stats aren't the best, though, so I'm hoping I get another with better stats to evolve. Otherwise, I'm covered for current Alola forms.
Lessee, what else, what else... Oh! Our local Discord had our first big community meetup today, and I think it went pretty well. Someone brought cold (non-alcoholic) drinks and decorated sugar cookies: Pokeballs and Squirtles! I am possibly bringing Pokeball Chocolate Strawberries next time, depending on how timing works out. And leaving a tip jar, because strawberries will be getting more expensive.
Seconding thanks to all you lovely community members who befriended me :D At only seven trades so far, I'm over half way to my silver Pilot medal! If we get a location post going, I'll definitely be participating (and possibly bookmarking).
