Reddit is pissed because the Shiny rate sucks but I couldn't care less. I'm drowning in Larvitars/Beldum/Dratini and I'm loving it!

The 3rd Larvitar I caught was shiny with 78% IV so I'm pretty satisfied.

Will evolving the dudes I catch this weekend give the special Community Day moves?

Will evolving a Mon that I had caught previously during this weekend give it the special move?

I have a Beldum that I caught a few months back who could do well with Meteor Mash, if it's possible to get.

e: vvv Sweet, thanks

Follow up question, do you have the evolve it during the normal community day window to get the special moves or can you evolve anytime between now and Sunday evening?

I evolved my Lucky Dratini just now and it got Draco Meteor as a Dragonite so I presume you can do it at any time until 11 PM PT.

Evolve anytime before event end Sunday 11pm PST. May as well wait unless it's a really good one though unless you're drowning in candy.

Yeah the shiny rate still sucks rear end. Been having my gotcha vacuum up poo poo for the past 5 hours and not a single shiny. I guess it kinda makes sense since there's a whole weekend of these spawns. I'm sure Dr Tran would make a "I got 750 shinies" post on Sunday night.

No shinies in an hour and a half of constant spawns, so the shiny rate must be pretty garbage indeed.

One shiny Eevee out of about 50-70 catches of community day Pokémon. More would be nice, but honestly, I’ll take just having the Pokémon available.

I willed too hard again...
Shiny rate seems prolific for me, given how little I played today. Got a shiny Dratini, Larvitar, and Eevee from the few short walks I did.

quote:

In other words, are we going to get the ultimate, trainer CP. The definitive stat as to who actually is the best. And will it be publicly broadcast on our trainer page for friends to see, as well as to other people in raid lobbies? Will raid discords start channels with a trainer ELO leaderboard.

This is IMHO the ultimate goal, my dream for this game. Real competition. Endgame content.

Nintendo hates hurting children's feelings, so maybe they'll opt to do the Smash Bros ranking thing instead where they tell you how many garbage players you're better than and that's all you know about your number. That way kids can be like "Wow, I'm better than 1,388,452 other players!" but they'll never know that's out of like 2 billion players worldwide and most of their number is made of people who opened the game once and stopped playing.

Same, I basically have just left the game running while sat on my sofa with a couple of incenses and have caught two shinies in probably 40-50 catches. Wonder if the shiny rate does actually suck or is it confirmation bias where the people with bad luck on the RNG are just posting about it more?

4 shinies, 3 from my plus. Shiny Larvitar ran but the shiny Dratini made up for it.

I cashed in my research early because damnit even a 10cp bug might have value for the new PvP.

Slept through the 3 hour window because I didn't care about the bonuses and no-one said the shiny rates would only be boosted for the 3 hours, spent 9 hours out and was the only person in the group who got no shinies while everyone else got 3+, overall this event can go gently caress itself. Literally the only good thing about this event is the larvitar candy. :smith:

I’m hoping to thread the needle and get a Zapdos or Articuno since those are the two I don’t have.

It’s... extremely unlikely.

The two I want here are Raikou and Articuno, since those are the only ones I'm missing. I get to about an hour and a half before the rollover and I accidentally get my 7th stamp. I was pretty frustrated with myself at ensuring I had yet another Shedinja, but just in case I pretended not to see the box.

Hit it 5 minutes after the switch and to my surprise there's a loving Articuno. And then I got a call with a job offer like 2 minutes later!

This was a great day.

Anyone know what the yellow box is about? It's when I caught it, but not every Pokemon has one.



Finally got a single shiny Charmander so I can live with the rest. Apparently I hadn't had a shiny bulb before either.
