Ended up with three of them before the event ended.

Everyone please tell me your first Pokemon Go shiny

Mine was my new best friend, Porp the purple Wailmer. I am motivated to do my run every day to get candy for him so he can become Porp the purple Wailord.
Mine was a Pikachu when the park next to me was a Pikachu next.

I didn't even notice. It took my kid messing around and asking, "Why is this Pikachu more orange?" for me to understand.

Duskull just chillin' in the park. Evo'ed it into a Dusclops. Eagerly waiting for Dusknoir to be a thing.

One day after a month of trying to find any Ghost mon's and sloooowly getting the ten ghost pokemon needed, the park I walk through to get anywhere turns into a loving Misdreavus nest :argh:

I don't understand how people are having such a hard time finding ghosts, do you people not get up before 7 am or something? I walked into work at 7 am this morning and there were two Duskulls and a Gastly sitting there.

They didn't spawn (or at least very rarely spawned) during events because they were overwritten by the special spawns, and we've had events going for the last several weeks

I still saw tons of ghosts spawn in the morning, generally at 6 am. Usually Shuppets.

Yeah after it seemed pretty clear the RNG gods didn't want me to have a shiny Maku/Medi I got really really sick of that fighting event lasting forever. Honestly a relief to see a Sandshrew.

Fwiw I'm up at 6 every day and have hardly seen any ghosts at all, in the morning.

I got past that goal during the Gen 1 event, fortunately, but I'd be hard pressed to find many ghosts right now.

Was this Night = More Ghosts actually proven?
I finish work at midnight, if I'm playing I don't get back until about 1/1:30am (going through a train/bus interchange, a shopping mall, a teeny cemetery and two parks) and ghosts still wouldn't spawn.
Why can't people find Trapinches for, they're just right there :smug:

fwiw i found all my ghosts between 5 and 7 am at a church next door to my work and ghosts are definitely not part of my normal biome spawns.

I have lost all powers of reading comprehension and counting ability hours ago
There are significantly more ghosts at night, but maybe it is biome limited? Fwiw, I found all mine at strip mall parking lots

Apparently people tracked a bunch of spawns over a long period of time, and found that ghost/dark types do spawn more frequently at night. It's not a huge increase, but it is an increase.

I have yet to catch a shiny. Oh well.

I did finally manage to snag my 10th ghost and move on to the next step in the Mew quest.

Now all I need to do is walk about 270km worth of fish candy, since they barely spawn around where I am. (Right beside a great lake, go figure.)

My first shiny was Cool Ranch Snorunt a day or two after Christmas. I don't count Community Day shinies since it's like 75% for sure you'd get one if you play for the whole duration. That said, I got no shiny Dratini.

What does this mean? Is there now Rare Candy in addition to <Pokémon> Candy? Because if there is, I'm apparently blind, and missed whenever it happened...

Instead of putting rare candy one at a time you can choose to transfer a bunch to one Pokémon
