DEEP STATE PLOT posted:

the bird days also helped. get on a raid train for the full three hours, keep popping stardust (and lucky eggs) for the entire event, do 15-20 raids, you'll at least walk away with enough stardust to power a few good pokemon to level 30.

i expect they'll do similar days for the legendary beasts and the regis (UGH) so just wait for those to roll around and follow that strategy.

Yeah that doesnt work in small town Canada though. Theres a dedicated group of ~10 people playing here and if you miss them hitting up the raids you are SOL, especially considering there are so few gyms and they are so far apart.

Dont care though, I might never be able to solo a raid or fill the dex but my Beedrill, Breloom and Cloyster will always look fabulous floating above a gym.

I’ve gotten nothing but alolan garbage from probably 12 yellow eggs. This event sucks butt.

I've cycled 21 eggs now thanks to jogging with my gotcha. Over half Alolan Meowth.

there is no date yet, it's only known to be the october community day pokemon due to datamining.

either way, shiny metagross is badass as gently caress, hope i can get a good one.

Third time I've walked a 'mon to it's final evolution when it was announced it'd have a community day.

First was when Magikarp shiny was released, next was the Dratini.

Eh, as long as I get that white and gold shiny.

Luckily got a Mr Mime, now called Moskva (thanks pod6isjerks!) in my last batch of regionals, making 3 from 16 (the other two were Farfetch'd). All I need now is Mewtwo and another 5 Dratini

They posted dates for the next three community days but only announced Chikorita for the September one. No official announcements for what Pokemon are featured for October and November but now most people are assuming October is for Beldum.

I wonder if somethings going on with what you already have. My alt had a bunch of incubators so I've really only walked eggs on that one, and every one so far has been a regional (3/3, Tauros, kanga, farfetchd). It has to just be freak sample size but it's weird.

3 alolan meowths, an alolan vulpix, and a farfetch'd, so one in 5 and one of the regionals I needed as I have nothing but my local Mr. mime

How do community days work, are spawns just beefed up everywhere for the whole day or do I need to be in like specific places?

Kind of a combo of both. They're beefed up everywhere for the 3 hours the event happens*, but you also need to be in a place where Pokémon spawn frequently. So, these events suck for rural players, and even for me, because not much spawns at my house or job normally.

*Despite being called Community DAY, they lie. It's a 3 hour event.

It's pretty ridiculous. I've hatched about 25 eggs and more than half were Alolan trash. Also got 4 Tauros, 1 Farfetch'd, and 3 Kangas. The level of Alolan poo poo is pissing me off though.

4% for kangaskhan and tauros, 2.25% for mr. mime and farfetch'd.

i've hatched 2 tauros, 2 mr. mimes, a kangaskhan and 3 farfetch'd. i'm still hatching eggs so i can trade to local people who don't or can't buy incubators and end up missing out on any of these.

at least you get alolan geodudes, which are relevant both for their own evolved form and to get geodude candy to power up regular golems. then again i already have a team of six golems, so the two dozen alolan geodudes i've hatched are just gonna be traded off for easy distance.

Unless you live in the geodude breeding grounds like me. Then you're like... add it to the pile of geodude candy.

I think I am near 40 and have gotten 2 Farfetch'd, a Mr. Mime, a Porygon and thankfully only one Tauros. I hope i don't need to buy another round of incubators to get one Kangaskhan. (US/Michigan/Detroit Area)

Love the Go-Tcha watch. What app are people using to overlays/checking 'Mons?

I got my Mr. Mime which definitely dulls the pain of hatching 4 Tauros.

I also got 2x Kangas and 1x Farfetch’d which I already had, but trading fodder is always good.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but has anyone observed any difference with the operation of the gotcha in the last couple days? I feel like the app has stopped tracking my movement when the screen is off. I'll walk for ten minutes and get no gotcha activity, and then turn on my phone screen and suddenly get two or three catch attempts.

I'm not sure if it's just my imagination or if something changed with my phone, or if something changed with the app.

It's been working fine for me, but I also haven't updated the Go app to the latest version that hit the store yet.

Just to add on to what the other guy said, the featured Pokemon will end up having a high chance of spawning in place of what ordinarily spawns, but again, it makes no matter if you're playing around somewhere that typically has low spawns anyway. My town, for instance, typically mobs the downtown park and main street because of how dense the spawn rate is there and there's tons of stops for you to spin so you never run out of balls. But if you feel like playing from home or wherever you are at the time, you can still run into things and maybe get lucky.

It's always from 11am-2pm PST. The featured Pokemon also has an increased chance of being shiny during the event. If you want the exclusive move for this Pokemon, you typically have to evolve it to its final form only within these three hours.
