This is a splendid idea and I am planning to try the hell out of it. I've got an active compass at the moment, so I'm going to go on a Poke-walk in the Chicago Loop. I'll let you know what I find.

Is anyone else noticing that the spawn rate for Tentacool is severely lacking? I feel like I have seen a lot more Torchic, Rhydon, or Teddyursa than Tentacool.

I would love to hear your findings.

I hit 10. Three Arlos, two Cliffs, and five Sierras. Not a shiny among them. I'll be back in the office again on Monday, so I'll likely just keep the compass going until then so I can search some more.

Two Community Days with all the special moves from 2018 and 2019 available again eh? Not too shabby, though I Think I have all the meta relevant moves already. I did miss out on Blast Burn Blaziken and there are a few others I didn't bother evolving though. And I can maybe get Leageon and Glaceon with Last Resort if I can find the right lures out.

Don't forget Murkrow...I found a murder of them on the way to work this morning. Pulled into the parking lot and nine of them spawned at the same time

Okay, just so we're clear - they're shiny in the original battle? Because I'm seeing videos of battles where a vanilla Scyther leads to a shiny encounter.

Did anyone here added me (wuppa88) as a friend yesterday? I woke up this morning with a new friend request. I wanted to make sure it wasn't anyone here before I reject it.

Edit: request was from Awan2471

Hatched a Cranidos from a 10 km egg. Very nice since I only ever managed to Catch one Cranidos and it had like 21 CP. Will need to walk it a bit Before I get enough candy to evolve it though.

That friend event came and went in a flash. What was the shiny for the event that I assume most of us missed?

I don't think there was a shiny. It was just a bunch of Diglets and the occasional Nidoran.

Nope, no shiny specific to the event. I would have sworn it was Doduo based on how many of those I saw

Was hoping that this would be where I caught my shiny Nidoran M/F but after catching about 100 of each in this event alone, still no

On a separate note, I beat Giovanni yesterday and got a Shadow Zapdos! It took me a couple of tries to do it, but I ultimately beat him fairly easily.

I used Giratina, Gyarados, and Tyranitar

Managed to beat Sierra for the first time, already beat Arlo twice so that's the only one I was missing.

I have now beaten everybody but Cliff twice. Once you know the best combinations, it gets a lot easier. Cliff was easy...I've only found him once, though
