thats still a solid day. i haven't been able to do the last couple of comm days so this definitely made up for it. haven't done this well since swinub day last year. maybe February is my month. I've got a lot of lucky friends right now so definitely worthy shiny trade bait here.

Been a while since I checked in.

Caught 15 Shiny during the event. Best was a 91. Did manage to lucking into 3 Hundos though without the maps(have been very spotty in our area when it comes to IVs since the last changes to the code)

Just scored my tickets for the Philly Safari Zone. Actually totally forgot about the tickets coming out today and was only able to get Sunday early access when the majority of my friends are going on Saturday

Closing in on 160M XP which I should have in the next week or so.

Congrats in advance on the octo-40! I've been super casual since hitting 100M. been playing super sparingly with just some event stuff and occasional raiding. i've done only 14M in the past 9 months. keep it up man! can't wait for you to hit 200M!

This one was pretty tough. My son had a ballgame while it was going on but luckily there were a ton of spawn at the ballpark. I was worried I would miss out on it.

I had gotten enough candy and had some good ones before hand to help.

Congrats on all the XP! Enjoy the Safari Zone. Hopefully they bring one closer to me one day so I can attend.

I only got 4 shinies this time around, none of which were worth evolving. I did have a couple high level (33 and 35) regular guys waiting in my Dex though, so I evolved them all the way. My boyfriend/I were able to get a lucky from trading, so I evolved him as well since he was level 28. It was raining here the whole time, not sure if that had any impact on the spawns.

I missed out on community day this month. Was busy doing some work to the house so I didn't get out to play at all. Bummed I missed out on the Ryhorn event.

That sucks man. I'd trade you a shiny but we are quite away apart distance wise. We are getting closer to best friends.

Between work, the kid, and projects around my house I haven't been playing a whole lot lately. Try to when I go somewhere, but that doesn't happen too much anymore either.

Ended up with 18 shinies. Started off hot, got 7 in the first 30 minutes, I thought I was going to break my record of 27 Swinnubs. Didn't get one perfect, caught about 380 or so regular Rhyhorn. Did get a few high 90's IV's, only evolved 3, only had 3 Sinnoh stones
Getting excited for my trip to Barcelona, there are so many pokestops there and a ton of high density spawn spots. Hopefully this stupid coronavirus thing doesn't eff up my trip!

Well, thankfully we didn't end up going. The cruise we would have been on got turned around halfway to Barcelona and even if that didn't happen, we very likely would have had either a hard time flying back home or sticking it out there and avoiding this thing in a foreign spot.
As far as the game goes, there are still people in my local area out there coordinating raids on discord. I've just been logging in at home, catching a few mons here and there, maybe spinning a stop if the GPS is generous and lets me reach the closest stop. The 1 hour incense is a nice way to waste time while watching sports reruns on tv. Hopefully I don;t run out of pokeballs before we get this under some sort of control so going outside is an option again.
Caught a shiny Sneasel from home a few days ago, it's got an amazing CP of 26! Hoping I can luck out and get a shiny Baltoy in the event that started today.

Wife and I went riding today and 1/3 of the fungus turned to Ditto. Not bad, no shinny Pokémon to be found.

I've been having more spawns at my house but getting our and playing is tough so I just haven't been playing much. We got Animal Crossing over the weekend and I've been hooked.

effing ditto, caught about 20 in the past hour... only decent 1 was a 3*. Did catch a shiny Sudowoodo. Did beat Giovanni for the 2nd time in 2 days though. Beat him yesterday and the game froze, never giving me a change to catch Entei. Wrote to support and they gave a super radar to find Giovanni. Not sure if it was worth it, was only a 2* but i havent purified him yet, so it might make it to 3*.

I read an article that said they were working on this feature, it just hasn;t rolled out yet. However, making the distance to reach gyms now doubled may be the only way they can make it work. I will note that making the distance double is a pain for me because there is a pokestop near me that I can only reach when I get favorable gps drift, but now the game shows the disc active but I get nothing but, please try again later
And what the heck is Animal Crossing, I;ve seen a bunch of people mention this and some stupid facebook memes about it.

The double distance is only for gyms, not for stops. So it might highlight, but you cant spin it.


And the double distance did nothing for me. Still ant reach anything anywhere. Work, Other Job Location, my house. Nothing. They need to make it simply, if you can see a gym on the map, you can spin/use it.

I can see 15 gyms from my job, not a stop I can reach, even with double distance.

I am biking to my stops every day. I have 7 gyms and close to 15 stops close to me. I can do one lap in about 20 minutes. Every morning I beat every gym and every night someone takes them back.

We have a great love/hate relationship going. lol

I am able to get stops from a further distance but it is not much further, I think one I can get is on the other side of a fence and across a road. I am able to get that one.

Unable to do major raids but doing some smaller ones. I have found one shinny lickytung and that is it for shinny.

I am dittoed out so I am trying to avoid them.

How’s everyone’s event going? I absolutely have killed this spring event. Everything from the Yanma up I caught during the spring event along with 2 Hundos: riolu and chancey. If anyone needs gifts, let me know. I’m fortunate enough to have access to pokestops. Shoot me a PM!

Nice job with those shinny. We have about 10 stops and 7 gyms within a bike ride for me. Shinny have been pretty hard to come by. I got licky tongue and evee and for Easter I did go battle team and two shinny merrel.

I’ve been trying to get a good IV Togepi and hatched a 100% then realized I’ll never be able to evolve it. Only positive thing is I have a large nest right on my house including two water spawns so can catch them all day.
