Community day chat

So, January's community day has been and gone - how's the world of Pokemon Go treating you this month?

I missed most of this month's Pokemon Go Community Day because of work, but managed to squeeze in the first half an hour, and two further ten-minute breaks, which was enough to net me the three shinies to have a complete set (and my strongest, who I evolved up, is a female to boot!) and a couple of decent examples for the special move, so - I didn't miss out entirely, but I did really miss seeing my local community folks. The shiny 'gator family are such nifty designs! Shame not to get full use of the 4x hatch distance bonus, but I did get to do at least two full sets of 7/10ks, (one hatched, one loaded) so not nothing, and Adventure Sync means I got credited for all the distance I got while at work, at least.

I also managed to find my first ever Bronzor on my way in, which was exciting (I've seen two on tracker, but both right on the edge of range, and they fled while I was still a good long way away).

Kinda looking forward to Feebas research day next week, the learn what this new sort of event is about, and because shiny Feebas / Milotic is *so* pretty!

I just checked out what Shiny Milotic looks like and WOW! That colour scheme is amazing and I'm a little mad that the weekend is so busy for me... gonna think about how to conserve spoons for the day *_*

I got an ex raid pass! It's to a gym near my work, and in the middle of Feebas day, blah! But hopefully I can FINALLY get a Deoxys, although I'm still bitter about not getting the first form.

I got 4 shinies yesterday, and today hit the 50km on Adventure Sync for the first time! Unfortunately I checked it a little too late so I didn't see what the rewards were for hitting 50km XD

Finally I just discovered the PvP rewards in the Style section and I am in LOVE with that gray dress.

I did not, in the end, make it terribly far out of bed, but I did get two shinies from bed (and evolved a 98% Croconaw I'd been saving up), so... that could have been worse. :-p

Really really looking forward to the Feebas event.

Some of my best pokemon were caught while I was sat at my PC! Funny how that works out sometimes. :)

Didn't really do much for the Hatchathon because the egg rates are kind of awful.

I did hatcch a Mantyke as a person I know from raids was complaining about their inability to hatch a Mantyke, so I'm convinced that my account just knew somehow because I don't ever get good hatches!

I don't know if Finneon are actually rare or if it's just the type of biomes around my area, but I saw one on my "nearby" for the first time after my run yesterday and...ran all the way back to the stop it was at. :)

CD started off looking pretty standard for my, like I was on track for 3-5 shinies... but then I had a huge up-tick near the end and finished off with twelve! Definitely my biggest CD haul outside of Squirtle (which was boosted by the Squad research).

Also got my second Fineon ever - which I also caught on a friend's account I was running for CD because she had to work, and it was her first. Then the very next day she stumbled on a wild Lumineon!

Since the last post in here I also managed to hatch a shiny Togepi, which is pretty awesome, though I've still yet to find a Mantyke or Chingling, or any of the other shiny babies. Still grinding those 7ks.

Did get a mittful of shinies, although not much more than that in the Feraligator front. Munchlax came to say hello in one of the eggs I hatched, which was cool, and I caught both Heatran and Bronzor, both new to me, while I was at the place where I was doing community day with friends.

[makiyakinabe]

Community Day was great! I caught four shiny Totodiles and hatched two Munchlax! As for the rest of January, I'm looking forward to both Feebas Day and Kyogre's return to raid battles. I'm also hoping to catch at least one Groudon but well... it's not as cute as Kyogre? ¯\(ツ)/¯

[grammarwoman]

The Totodile spawn rates seemed really off in the park I was in, plus I was super grumpy about not catching any shinies in the first hour+ I was walking. I wound up with 6 by the end, which was low for me, but still nice to have extras for friends who couldn't/wouldn't make it out in the middle of the snowstorm.

I am despairing that I will ever make the 50K mark and get an egg for Riolu. Why can't Google Fit talk directly to my Fitbit? The third-party app that can translate my steps invalidates the results for Adventure Sync, so I don't get credit for all of my steps. I don't want to have to buy a Google activity tracker.

Definitely looking forward to Groudon, as I missed that the first time around, and pondering trying to make a last minute raid for another Heatran before it leaves. I am appreciative to Niantic that they've kept the events coming fast and furious, cutting down on the blah gaps in-between.

I only caught about the last 10 minutes of Totodile Day, but I got one shiny, so that's okay.

I'm excited for the upcoming day this weekend, more, though. I don't have a Milotic yet and I'd like to get shinies too, if possible.
