Pokémon Go |OT| Tap those mons!

You went playing at the right time? No Squirtle would be weird in even the most slow neighbourhood.
So gyms can have a higher turnover, any casual player can take it down
So there's a cap ? Do you know what level you need to be too reach it?
Pokémon have a motivation, which decays. The longer they are in the gym, the lower it becomes. There is a certain decay rate, with higher CP Pokémon decaying faster.
At full motivation, a Pokémon needs to be defeated three times to be outed. At the lowest motivation, only once.
Oh, I tried that!
So, when they say "Community Day" they actually mean "Community Hour"? Because I went walking 1pm - 2pm, then 3pm to 4.
I don't recall any of their correspondence mentioning set hours :/
I've seen that happen, what I'm referring to is that when I place my 2800 cp Snorlax in a gym it automatically gets bumped down to 2400 CP. Pulling numbers out of my ass but it's along those lines.
Where are you located? Did you have the correct time?
Edit: the time are pretty much in every notification and tweet.
This page will give you your local time

Yes, it's a 3 hour window that varies depending on your location.

For some reason every pokemon loses a little CP automatically when being put into the gym. I guess it's to encourage you to give it a berry right after adding to a gym. It probably was meant as a smart in game way to teach people about the gym system/the need to feed berries maybe, but that's what's going on and it happens for every pokemon. If you give it something it'll go back up to full health.
199 Squirtle.... of which
Best IV were 2 x 96 (both goggles) but I already had 100iv Blastoise so not too bothered.
All in all a good day, only 100K from Level 40 now thanks to 13 caught Arty and 5 that ran yesterday.... no shiny there sadly.
Need to get back into sending and opening gifts, these last two days been quite full of Pogo and item/mon managment while in a heatwave here in London. Hope you all had a blast this weekend.
- 57 with goggles
- 8 were shiny

Interesting. I never tried to give them a berry right away so that could be. I see a gym down the street right now with 5/6 spots so I'm gonna go get in there and try it. 2813 CP Snorlax inbound.
Yup that was exactly it. Bumped him down to about 2500 and 1 berry fed it's back up to max. Case closed .

Ah. I was just going by what they said in the in-app message (talking about a community day and all). I must've overlooked the whole three-hour thing.
That Articuno thing was only a few hours long, too. Sucks if you work weekends or night shifts, ey?
About to pack my drinks and a snack and get ready to be in position to snag some Squirtle! Goals are modest
- at least one shiny
- at least one glasses
- enough candy to get a Blastoise with the new move
I think I have about 60 candy already from the water event last month. I don't really want to be out the entire time today.

They all should be and if the reward is s shiny squirtle then it's shiny for everyone who gets that quest and completes it
I like the idea it makes sure people have a chance of a shiny - as it's an encounter it's level 15 and has decent (ish) iv's
it's too hot for these events, phew.
Good day so far though, not sure how many Squirtles I've captured, but I've got four non glasses shinies and one glasses shiny. Plus a few other rare Pokemon like Chansey and Electabuzz.

Got a decent amount of Squirtle although none are as good as the one I had previously
3 shinies (two sunglasses, one regular)
Best one today was a 91% sunglasses one that I turned into Blastoise.

It seems like they're alternating between useful Monday (other than mareep) and starters
Yeah, just checked Reddit and there's a prediction that Ralts is next up which would be very nice.
God that would be great! Useful across two gens with two typings with lots of candy needed and I haven't seen or hatched one since March maybe.
Seriously, outside of regionals and legendaries the ralts evos are the only things I have left to get.
Yeah Ralts would be awesome, I'm done with Hoenn dex for now and the only Gen 4 evo for which I don't have candy yet is Ralts and it's a looooong grind at 5 km per candies and awful spawns in the area (haven't seen Ralts in months... I think the last one I came across in the wild was during Hoenn event in February).
Community Day over. 20 regular shinies, 6 sunglasses shinies, and a bunch of regular sunglasses.
Pretty decent community day.
The Good: 5 regular shinies, 7 sunglasses. Hatched an Alolan Volpix, 2 Alolan Grimer, and a Chimecho, all of which were new to me. Plus 2 Beldum and a Bagon. Managed to get several hundred thousand exp.
The bad: Probably the worst technical issues I have had on a community day. If you had a PoGo Plus, it crashed half the time you collected a quest reward, and then took up to 10 minutes to get the damn thing reconnected. I probably spent a good half hour of the two and a half hours I played trying to reconnect it. Also ran out of Pokeballs, because the Pokemon Go Plus still doesn't have an option to use better balls almost two years in.
Also, I assume Ralts being next will be the first bad prediction. I think they'll save that for when Gallade comes out. I think we'll also probably get an Eevee community day towards the end of the year, to commemorate Let's Go being out plus to take advantage of Eevee having most of its evolutions once Gen 4 is out.

It was a quest? Ah, that would explain it, I should probably pay more attention. Oh well.
the problem I had was since you can only get one research quest per stop per day, I ran out of stops in the first park I was in. Had to go to another park to continue getting those quests/Squirtles with glasses.
10 Shinies, 6 Sun Glasses Shinies.
Really happy with how Community Day turned out for me. Haven't had this much luck since the first one, where I got 11 Shiny Pikachu.
By the way, fuck the Summer. Not fun walking around for 3 hours in 100 degree Weather. My iPhone X also overheats and hardly runs the game when it's exposed in the sun for more than 5 minutes. Gotta walk around the shade and stand beside a wall/tree the whole time. Not fun.

After a while my wife and I had quests start to bug. We went to a mall that has like, 30 stops in it and there were ones I knew I hadn't gotten quests from (it's a giant circle so it was the back end) that just didn't give quests out.
First time doing this Community Day thing and it was a blast! Haven't seen so many people out here playing Pokemon Go since it launched. Was a great, great time. Think I ended up with something around 6 Shiny Sunglasses, at least 10 normal Shiny, and about a dozen more normal Sunglasses. Only part that sucked is a good group of us battled a Regice that popped up and I was unfortunately unable to catch it....not quite strong enough yet to take one down with less people.
Can't wait for the next one though!
110% agree. Walking around for 3 hours is fine but walking around for 3 hours when it's over 100? Surprised my phone didn't overheat at a couple points though I did get a lot of freezes/slowdowns.

They seemingly did that on purpose so that you wouldn't lure up and loop around one place.
