Still loving the comparative (pve) meta-irrelevant CDs, they're always way more relaxing than trying to hurry during that last hour to evolve as much as possible

Last CD let you evolve mons for 2 hours after the event ended for the special move.

And now you can use +turtwig&4*,3* in the search to quickly find the best mons to evolve after the event

"Meta relevant" CDs for me usually involve a lot of post-event trading high-level, low-IV mon, since inevitably the number of straight catches that are both high-level and high-iv are vanishingly low

The people complaining vs. fine with it in my local discord seem to be split along the line of "did you get burned by getting a bazillion trapinch out of 10km eggs at some point in the past"

It was the obvious choice for community day. The rotate between a starter Pokémon and a 10km egg Pokémon. Trapinch is the last 10km egg Pokémon from gen 3.

I'm sitting on hundreds of Trapinch candy from getting loads of them out of 10ks and i'm still fine with it :v:

Flygon is basically discount Garchomp since they're both Dragon / Ground and since I doubt i'll ever get a drat Gible with my luck, I'll gladly take more Flygons :allears:

With the pattern we have, they will definitely do Gible day. Maybe early next year.

It could be good if they give it a 2-charge Ground attack. I'm speculating Earth Power as a new move, but we'll see.

Trapinch Community Day owns because Flygon is cool as heck and I'll be very happy for the dude to be usable with Earth Power or another move. Flygon is one of the best looking shinies in the game too.

Not every single CD has to be meta relevant hugely important Pokemon. Favorite monsters getting attention like Flygon is super cool too!

Good: catching a ton of Gibles and finally having enough candy to evolve the one I have into a Garchomp.

Bad: Garchomp's shiny is utter rear end. It's categorically the worst kind of shiny: the one that's completely indistinguishable from the normal. I'll take ugly shinies over the indistinguishable ones any day.

(Now shiny Mega Garchomp looks baller as gently caress but I have no idea how Niantic is going to handle Megas.)

Meh, Flygon is fine I guess.

Wish they'd do PVP-friendly Community Days every once in a while. Skarmory, Medicham, Altaria, Azumarill and Lanturn would all be awesome Community Day choices. If they really wanted to blow everyone's minds, do a Tropius day.

Do you really think they're going to do megas after Game Freak gave them the axe this upcoming gen?

they’re gonna do megas, z moves, this new dynamax thing, and whatever other gimmicks the main games do, and they’ll do it as lazily as possible, in a way they can get money out of us.

Speaking of, I shelled out for passes today and went hunting, because I’ll be damned if I let a little thing like no raid hour stop me.

Obviously I dunno, my dude. Why so aggressive about it? :confused: I was just musing over a situation in which shiny Garchomp would be worthwhile to have.

They axed them in s/m and then brought them right back in us/um. Watch them do the same drat thing to move units late cycle, just like they've already done.

They didnt axe them in SuMo, its built right there in the game on the last island, you could download the rest off of wifi via codes

They brought back fuckign Shadow Pokemon. Of course they'll bring Megas so they can get people to do stuff for another two months.

Plus, unless they dripfeed one pokemon at a time next gen, there just ain't enough pokemon to go for a year.
