I am not one who can do those curve throws every time so that might be it but I use the berries
Ha.
HA.
HA.
It happened, can't believe I got one.
Was going slowly down some sidestreets on my way home from work, damn near drove over a curb when this guy popped up. I was starting to doubt he was even real.
Look at him. He sucks. I love him.
129 was my final total, only 6 more since I whined yesterday. Best of luck to the rest of you, I can now ascend in peace.

Congrats on that! I'm still trying. 1100 checked so far...but it is the last wild shiny of the event that I need.
Given up hope on a shiny Azurill or Santa hat Pichu.

Was fighting the ugly blue team at the local gym yesterday when a fellow approached me and asked me to join the local discord group. So now I guess I can get in on some higher tier raids. Pretty exciting I must say. Even as someone who is normally anti-social and faces a fair bit of social anxiety.
Finally. I can give up on hatching eggs and ignore the rest of this event.
Ahh so happy for you, what was your final count?
Gonna keep trying to tap on every Hatchu and Snover I see but no real expectations. Delibird was the big prize so I'm glad I got him.
Still no Shiny Delibird or Shiny Santa Hat Pikachu. 2 shiny Snorunts, but both are male. Only at 175 Delibirds checked so far though. Have not gotten anything new or shiny from a 7k egg yet, despite being at around 20-30 hatches. They put the odds way too low, especially with less gifts being sent due to the holidays. Have gained around 100,000 stardust plus was able to get a good start on Heatran candy last week.
I still think this Gen 4 rollout has been the worst one yet, and really hope my favorite gen (Gen 5) doesn't get fucked up this badly.

The Gen 4 rollout is downright incompetent.
During the recent event they let loose 5 new Pokémon, 10 with the evolutions. In this new week of that event I have come across Snover. Only Snover. After nearly two months of the new gen, I have not seen any of the new egg Pokémon except for Budew, they included fucking regionals, included some Pokémon that were nearly exclusive to raids, others exclusive to eggs, and only half of the new evolutions cordoned off behind items that are difficult to obtain and completely reliant on RNG with the other half yet to release.
It's madness. Idiocy, even.
It's not incompetent. They're very clearly targetting maximum DAU and maximum profits from minnows/whales. Unfortunately, that doesn't lead to the same kind of fun that the gen 1 release and, to a lesser extent, the gen 2 release were. And I really wonder if they've increased profits from this approach. It's definitely less fun-the only really cool things to find in the wild (outside of the first week or so after a wave releases) are shinies. I could see this approach having a negative impact on the playerbase overall.
Gen 4 was always going to be terrible due to the large amount of babies, evolutions and legendaries.
There are very little Pokemon for them to just release into the wild.
And while the Sinnoh Stone situation is very RNG based it doesn't cost anything, and I prefer that system than having to get individual items and evolution methods for these Pokemon (which would also be RNG)
They could have handled this better but they were always going to struggle with gen 4. Having multiple regionals in such a small gen though was really dumb.

People wanted some rare Pokemon to be excited about, now we have them
Thing is, I mentioned a lot in the leadup to Gen 4 that it's a weird, interstitial generation full of issues for a game like Go. But what happens once precedent is set?
We have a whole new set of legendary and mythical pokemon (13 in fact), plus who knows how many potential egg-exclusives, regionals, and general rarities or unreleased (Accelgor and Escavalier are destined for general idiocy even though prior oddities like Ninjask and Shedinja could have been handled totally fine).
I have very little faith in Niantic to not just resort to releasing 3-5 new Pokémon a month for the next year or two. And leading to no excitement beyond people loving the idea of a slightly different color of Cryogonal.

I don't really care that much about shinies. I have a shiny Snorunt and I keep that, but beyond that I'm not going to tap every Delibird until I get lucky. It's a nice surprise if I do get one, but if I'd get it in my head that I want every shiny type I'd go crazy
That's literally how they get people excited now. They're trophies you can show off. And they'll continue to trickle them. After more than 2 years, it surprises me most of gen 1 still don't have shiny versions.
Yeah, I need to stop playing this game. If my only real goal in the game is to complete the Pokedex, Niantic is actively preventing players from doing so, and spending an entire day roaming around hunting for new Pokemon to spawn is a colossal waste of time. There are other things I should be doing with my time.
I'll be back when the legendary raids change.

Had a nice day: Hatched a first Budew, caught a Croagunk so I'm up to 40 Candy and I raid'ed another two Shinx to now have Luxray. Even raided together with a ResetEra member on the last one, just too bad it was a terrible place to stop the car so I had to fight from a bit further.
I was hoping they would boost the shiny chance like crazy for Christmas day, that would have been fun
Yeah, same. Guess maybe they figure most wouldn't be able to take advantage because they'll be busy.
The best thing I did is give my 3 stone moveset Golems a second charge move. They all got earthquake, and since I now have 6 smackdown tyrants, I fast tm'd them to have mud slap, and they are all in my Heatran party. My wife and I duo it without a groudon between us. Saved me a lot of charge tms that I didn't have. And they only cost 10k stardust/25 candy. I'd say a charge tm is worth that. But that is probably the last time this type of thing will be so easy or so cheap..

I've seen two so far. None of the new Pokemon that spawn so far seem too rare, but they're not too common either. I'm at 3 Croagunk, 2 Bronzor, 2 Scoruipi and 0 Finneon so far.
I saw a Croagunk appear on stop vision while in the slowest grocery check out line ever. The stop sighting expired about the time I got to my car with my purchases, but I still barely made it lol
No shinies yet, but between work crunching and family gatherings, I only have roughly 50 observations each.

Have seen one, or more accurately felt one as it set off the go plus in my pocket with the unknown Pokémon rhythm and i had clicked it automatically only for the fear to set in as i waited for the confirmation vibration.
Croagunk, Bronzor and Skorupi all get posted in the neighborhoods of my city Discord, so they seem pretty rare. Or uncommon. I dunno. I would say like 5 get reported in the day in each neighborhood spanning a 5km by 5 km radius?
Am interested in to see if Croagunks evolution is good in Go. He felt like a glass cannon when I used him in the main games.

first day I saw Bronzor on nearby and it wasn't THAT far but it was out of my way, like first hour of the event - and I was like, nah, these will be spawning everywhere.

Turned on Pokémon GO, saw a shadow, immediately got dressed and rushed out for my first Skorupi.
The list is in the OP.
Oh I see! I scrolled past it and could only find the leaderboard one, thanks!
I started to play the game some weeks ago again and enjoy it a lot. But I can't believe that the game is still urban-centric and not countryside-centric. I often go up to the mountains or distant valleys. That I can't find pokestops I can understand. But that I rarely meet Pokémon is really disappointing because it would be a great game to play in the nature.
Really want a Moltres... it gave me a shiny Zapdos. Weird mixture of happiness and disappointment.
My wife gave birth on Christmas Eve. Happened to turn on Go while we waited for the maternity room to be ready and there was a Bronzor. First and only I've seen. The next day it was a Skoropi
