Not exactly CD but I’ve encountered 2 wild Latinas today, and the second was shiny!!! I used 25 Golden Razz, 20 Silver Pinap, 15 Razz, 15 Ultra, 88 Great, and over 100 Poké Balls without going in. Honestly would have preferred if it fled - I was a passenger in a car so once I left to open gifts the encounter was gone.
I also planned out a perfect Remote Raid Pass budget (without spending real money) to get all the remaining Hoenn legends: Mega Latias / Rayquaza outside the weekend (caught that shiny Latias!), Kyogre, Groudon and each Deoxys form at the weekend, then Rayquaza on the 28th. I got Kyogre, Groudon, and 2 Deoxys last night, so of course now there’s a research quest telling me to get Groudon!
I’m shadowbanned on Reddit (thinking for copy-pasting my friend code post almost exactly 24hrs apart) so have to rely on invites, can never get more than 3 in a room so no chance on that one :(

An update on the above…failed my Deoxys-Defence capture. Only got 10 balls because it took so long to wear down.
I went into the village to host, and actually found the only 1 of the 3 gyms had the correct Deoxys! So of course I had a bunch of flakers and glitches. Still, I persevered through cold hands (its like 5 degrees outside rn with a bit of wind), managed to get a Groudon and a Kyogre raid going for that quest (if I’d known it sucked, I wouldn’t have bothered, and maybe tried again later for Deoxys). Captured the Groudon, Kyogre broke out of 15 balls (10 excellent, 3 great, 2 slapped away and I don’t have a good enough buddy).
Today, on my alt, whilst I wait for a shot at Rayquaza tomorrow with my main once I get more coins from gyms, I did a Rayquaza raid. Weather Boost, only 2-star, but went in on the first throw and more importantly SHINY!!!!!. I’m so happy I’ve got shinies of my two favourite Hoenn dragons out of this!

I obtained my first shiny Pokemon from an Egg in Go today. Don't know how I went that long without one. It was a shiny Torkoal. Pretty cool since it is typically a region-locked Pokemon.
Going to a popular park here in Tokyo for comm day tomorrow.. and it just so happens to be top of 10c with rain predicted mostly all day. :'( whyyy
Ah that’s both really cool and sucks hahaI’m in the UK, its similar but that’s an improvement - after a mild winter the past month has been freezing nearly every day, could barely feel my fingers after the Hoenn event when I cycled a few miles to a village to do some raids! If its nice enough I might cycle into my village after the fact to farm some coins, but I think for CD it’ll be home + incense
I’ve also got a full set of Vivillon lined up for the double candy…well I’m not going to get the necessary 8 Sun candies, but everything else I have!
Pretty great Community Day all in all!
Got off to a great start as I was making space in my boxes for the incoming Scatterbug and Slowpoke haul and noticed that my Scizor had returned! Owned since 2017, but held hostage at a rural church for over 300 days at some point this week it was finally released from its prison!
I pinned every gift I had, whether I could open it or not, and managed to capture 19 Scatterbug at double candy! Still not enough for the complete set, I’m going to wait out to see if my 3rd Sandstorm bug a) happens, and b) is 3-star, as the other two suck.
I had the absurd experience when trying to capture Slowpoke of being in a shopping area at the center of town, surrounded by 4 stops and a gym ALL of which had my lure modules on, and running an incense, yet having no spawns for over 5 minutes. Despite that, I went on a hot streak in the last 10 mins, catching 5 of my total haul of 6 shinies - 3 Kanto, and 3 Galar so with evolution I have the complete set!

Theres many words I could use to describe Niantic or should I say Titantic?

Don’t give a crap about rural players
Don’t give a crap about anyone really, they mess up remote raids and in person raids alike.
