Are you west coast? Event ended at 2 there.

I’m east coast and evolved a dragon with meteor at about 4:50.

Yeah, I'm west coast but I thought they said they were extending it to 6pm PST.

Edit: it was JST, not PST, oops

I evolved two and both had Meteor. Central time, it ran from 1-4.

Unfortunately I had commitments today so had to take what I could get. Only got the Silver badge.

I got over 60 of them, 2 shinies, my gold badge, and a 97% one which I evolved immediately.

Overall I'm pretty happy, and it was fun to see a ton of people at a park walking around catching stuff. Someone stopped me and asked why everyone was on their phones.

Honestly if it was all day I'd lose my mind.

I'd have like 800 dratini.

Well, I learned today that pokemon coming out as Shiny are unique to each player account. I caught 3 for myself and none for my friend, and she is understandably upset.

I really hope trading will be here some time before the next ice age because I have a pretty massive list of things I'm trading to her first thing.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
Still, it's pretty bullshit to have these exceedingly rare events last for a couple hours when people have, you know, lives and poo poo.

I went to my local park and captured a few dozen Dratinis. No shinies and I haven't checked the IVs, but I finally had enough candies to evolve my Dragonair that I've walked ~80km with over the last several months. 96%, Dragon Claw and Draco Meteor. :getin:

I'm coming in here to cry about catching 4 shiny Dratini for my friend at work while getting 0 myself. Local tracker also failed to load the one 100% IV Dratini in my town while those with custom code got the notification.

I also didn't catch enough to get a gold dragon badge. Have my tears, friends.

Caught a good, big bunch of Dratinis. Got two shinies and my girlfriend 3, plus a couple over 90% regular dratinis. It was a fun event, specially since our best area to farm pokestops is a 5-block-one-way street, so it was swarming with people going back and forth on the pokestop clusters.

Oh! And we both got our first Rayquaza. Was really nice because it was with two other couples, of which one was two old chinese people who were level 40.

Got a L33 100% dratini. Evolved and maxed it already with Draco Meteor. Buddy's was a 100% shiny. A few others were shiny too. Caught 8 shiny overall and more than 200 tinis. Pretty successful event, I must say. Plus over 300k dust.

Three shinies, but I only evolved two because Dragonaire is so drat pretty.

How can they top this for March? Unown?

Yeah, it's kinda weird to me because all of their other events are like super long, except for this specific one which has really cool prizes and stuff. I got out of work at 4 so by the time I drove home I would have had like half an hour to catch some stuff if I remembered, which is what happened for the Pikachu one last month where I made a dash to find a shiny one before time was up. I know you'll never please everybody, and the idea is to get people together, but it kinda sucks for you if your schedule doesn't permit it.

Larvitar would be nice, since, AS A RURAL PLAYER (should I shout that louder?), I don't have 25 perfect Tyranitar from raids. Bagon and Beldum would also be acceptable, as they have cool rear end shinies and I've never seen either of them, aside from Gyms.

Today was a good event, got my gold dragon medal, 5 shinys, and a 95% dratini.

Ended up with two Military Green Dragons, kept Two pretty pink snakes, and left my last Shiny as a baby.

How about for 3 hours, they make the raids “never ending”. Meaning you can battle whatever it is in the gym as many times as you want, as long as you got a raid pass.

I had heard there were some files on the Pokémon Go website that pointed in that direction.

It's all secondhand anonymous rumors though, so take it with a giant pile of salt.

I think the raid system is stuck. Every day for the past week or so, the two gyms near my house have produced raids between 7 and 8 AM. The reliability would be nice, except that nobody around here is active at those times.

I don't know if that's on purpose or not. Two of my nearest gyms have had raids pop between 9 and 9:30 AM daily for 5 days. Like you, I have no one willing to raid at that time.

Other gyms in my town seem to do the same, dunno why.
