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"

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:

Pokemon being able to run away in general is a bad mechanic I wish wasn't in the game

:agreed:

During Armored Mewtwo raids we had a group of 11+ and less than half got theirs. If you put in the work to do a Legendary raid and succeed, you should just get the drat boss. Going through all that effort and work only to have it refuse to stay in the ball and run so you end up wasting all that time is dumb as hell.

Managed to luck out and get two shiny Trapinch! Evolved one into Flygon, saving the other for my gf since she didn't get any. But, that's not the highlight of my Community Day:

Egg hatches seem oddly better as well. Got a 14/14/13 Gible, a 15/14/15 Absol, and a 13/14/15 Golett out of my last few 10ks. It's kinda rad.

Testing out changes to the gym system (in Australia only). The normal 6 coins per hour rate is cut to 2 per hour and the daily limit is increased to 55. There’s a list of daily tasks that if you complete all of them you earn a whopping 5 coins.

Jesus christ. So you'd have to defend a gym for 28 hours to hit the daily max. That seems a bit ridiculous.

Why are all of his Fast move options so bad?

Also, for Ice types, I just popped a Glacial Lure on a nearby stop and got a Spheal pretty quickly. Same with Steel / Electric, just popped a Magnet. If you're not able to hit stops I imagine it's gonna be a bit trickier, yeah, but if you're able to get out and hit one easily the Lure options make it relatively painless at least :v:

Sinnoh research is live and at one point it requires you to catch a Ground type. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only Gen 4 ground types that spawn in the wild are Hippopotas and Gible, yeah? There's not many Gen 4 ground types at all.

Have any of you lot got the special incense feature yet? Apparently once a day it will just automatically spawn a Pokemon for you that nobody else can see so you're guaranteed to at least get one encounter a day. I have zero idea what mine was because my girlfriend was driving at the time and I didn't get a chance to see what popped up :v:
