I got about 20 shiny Turtwigs today, but the real winner was the 9th shiny Swablu. I'm really very good at finding shinies I already have several of and don't want anymore, instead of finding shinies I don't have.

Last week and this week Alolan eggs can have the gen 1 regionals with a chance for shiny.

Froist posted:

Right now (until today/tomorrow, depending on your time zone) you can get shiny gen 1 regionals from those eggs. And the contents are decided when you receive the gift, not when it hatches.

Also the egg pool in general has expanded, so it’s not just Alolans in the 7km eggs any more.

Edit: wow, beaten twice in two minutes.

Oh my :o

The Gen 1 regionals are around until next Monday, so keep hatching, stardust and disappointment await!

How are you guys catching so many shinys. I walked for 2 hours and 15 minutes constantly catching stuff and I got 0. Amazing.

Part of it is "not catching everything, just checking everything that could be shiny and running from anything that isn't"

If you mean for community day itself, I just load tf up on pokeballs, run the gotchas, and just walk around the local high-density area, occasionally stopping to prune and use stardust/incense if it's a stardust multiplier day. Usually end up with anywhere between 5-10 shinies per account that's doing it.

If you fast catch you’ll get a bunch more as well.

Basically click and hold on item select, and drag your finger off it. Then throw the poke ball with another finger while keeping the first held down. Once the ball hits the Pokémon, stop holding down and click anywhere and the escape button will pop up and let you run. Saves like 10 seconds on each catch.

I have to confess I prefer this time to the afternoon slot, and that'll be even more the case as we move into the winter and it gets dark earlier. I guess the opposite is true for the southern hemisphere - does Niantic adjust for that or do people just wander around in the dark during Australian winter community days?

Pretty much, but no one in the northern hemisphere gives a gently caress about the southern hemisphere and even seem surprised it exists, like people being surprised when ice types appear for the solstice event when it's summer in the north. Like people in this thread even go hmmmm maybe it's because you eat cold icecreams and stuff in the summer???? Surely there's not an entire other hemisphere where the middle of summer is the middle of winter????!??!!????? Nah that'd be stupid.

Don't believe anyone who says they have one weird trick, whatever Niantic have used to create their RNG is not coded correctly and never has been, so finding shinies is both entirely random, and a broken kind of random that favours some accounts over others for yet to be determined reasons, probably something stupid to do with the user ID

Oh hey, looks like they changed Mewtwo's Psystrike move so that it's not absolute aids to use in a fight now. Dropped the damage from 100 to 90 but cut the cooldown time in half so now its beastly to use

Welp, looks like we have regionals again. I'll catch panpour and heatmor on someone's throwaway if someone wants to do the same on mine for Durant and the grass and fire monkeys. Let's see how common these things are, first though.

If your inventory isn't clogged with balls, what's it clogged with? 1500 of my 2000 is dedicated to great and ultra balls so I'm confused how anybody can be full up with no balls.

There is but you won't like it... You can buy a bag expansion under the Shop for 200 Pokecoins. You can get Coins from defending gyms, max of 50 a day if you defend for 8 hours, or buy them with your hard earned cash at 100 Coins for 1USD.

My inventory max is 400. I've got potions, hyper potions, revives, lucky eggs, camera, fast TM, rare candy, raid pass, ex raid pass, gift, balls, berries, 2 incubators, king's rock, metal coat, up-grade.

Oh that makes sense. Only way to upgrade is to pay 200 coins for 50 additional slots.

Good lord that’s too many poke balls. I wish the gotcha could use great/ultra balls. I keep 100 ultras at any time since I’m not manually catching often (only on weekends) but I never have enough poke balls to keep the gotcha going all the time.
