So looks like you can beat a team rocket leader and if it’s not a shiny shadow type, run away and come back one and a half hours later to the Pokestop and it will still be there and it will have re-rolled so you’ll have another chance at shiny, but it will disappear at 10pm in your time zone.

Egg Hatching event is live until Jan 16th, double stardust when hatching eggs and if you walk 50km in a week you’ll get a bonus of 50k stardust and 15 rare candies. Time to get walking.

Time to get walking.

In the middle of winter. Thanks, Niantic.

In case she doesn't have them yet, you can have her remove you and re-add you (you don't lose your friendship rank) and it will count.

[Souj]

Thanks for the adds.

I had 17k walking distance last night, but managed to get to 50k while watching 3 episodes of The Expanse by shaking my phone lol. Had 9 eggs, too and didnt hatch shit. Only thing of value was a klink which gave me 22 candy, which sucks considering its 2x hatch candy atm

The sock trick still works if you want to game the system a bit but can’t get out and walk.

Put phone in sock. Twirl sock around. Try not to hit anything or get bored. The game will register the phone movement as you walking even though you aren’t actually moving.

January 19 (a Sunday) will be Community Day, and the featured Pokémon will be Piplup. Lures will last three hours during this period and eggs placed in incubators will have 1/4 hatch time. Kinda lame community day I think.

[Souj]

On par for most community days.

Considering I've seen 3 Piplup ever it's not that bad to at least get some candy?

[Vaspinne]

I had a Piplup nest at my work a couple months ago. Went from never having seen one to a fully evolved Empoleon in like 2 days. It was some double candy event too so I was getting like 13 candy per catch too +_+

[Anoat]

They are pretty common from 2k eggs and if there is a water biome near you (lake or ocean or river) they are a fairly common spawn. I usually do my walking around a park at a lake so I see them all the time.

[Anoat]

Trade evolution is def something they are pushing now with these new Unova Pokémon needing 200 candy to fully evolve if not traded.

I can confirm you don’t HAVE to trade at 2nd stage evolution for it to work, you can trade it as 1st stage and will still work. For example if you receive a Machop in a trade it will take 25 candies to become Machoke but then you can immediately evolve to Machamp for free.

[Anoat]

Third week in a row my EX raid invite is for the middle of the day fucks sake Niantic let us pick our EX raid times or trade in an usuable pass for something

[Anoat]

I ended up with three shiny Piplup today so now I have the whole shiny penguin family, hooray

[Souj]

Wife got 3, I got 2. Wife caught a bonus shellder.

[Melena]

Anyone having issues with buddy tracking today? Yesterday it was fine tracking steps, but today it's been stuck on .12 kilometers all day.

Finally finished my Kanto dex thanks to a world traveling friend who traded me a Kangaskan and Mr Mime. Those darn regionals.

Vote for next community day pokemon. Vulpix, rhyhorn, machop, dratini.

Why Dratini? It's already had a community day. Yeah, new move, but... eh

Also, the way you vote is kind of annoying, especially if you dont live somewhere with a lot of pokestops. Makes it seem like it'll be a more random result more than anything else.

Make your voices heard—vote for February Community Day’s featured Pokémon
Pokémon GO
Trainers,

Community Day is a key piece of what makes Pokémon GO a unique gaming experience. It’s an event that encourages all Trainers to go out and play together one day a month, and we’ve been endlessly inspired by the impact it’s had on building local communities. To allow Community Day to live up to its name even more, we’re letting Trainers everywhere vote for what the next featured Community Day Pokémon will be.

We hope to take the lessons from this experiment and use them to make Community Day the best it can be, and we thank you for your patience. More info below.

Voting Timeline

Here is what you can expect in the coming weeks.

Announcement of the Community Day candidates: On Wednesday, January 22, 2020 (today), we announce the Pokémon in the running to be the featured Community Day Pokémon, what their event-exclusive attacks will be, and the Field Research tasks you will need to complete to vote for your Pokémon of choice.
Voting day: Voting day will be on Saturday, February 1, 2020, from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. in your local time zone. Votes will be counted via the total number of Field Research tasks completed globally within the allotted time.
Announcement of the winner: On Monday, February 3, 2020, two days after voting day closes, we will announce which Pokémon will be featured for February Community Day.
February Community Day: The Community Day featuring the winning Pokémon will take place on Saturday, February 22, 2020. The featured bonus will be 3× Catch Stardust. Per the last update, Community Day for Trainers in the northern hemisphere will run from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. local time, while in the southern hemisphere, it will run from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time.
February 2020 Community Day Pokémon Candidates

Your candidates for the next Community Day are Vulpix, Machop, Rhyhorn, and Dratini. Learn about their Community Day attacks and more below.

Vulpix: Vulpix as originally discovered in the Kanto region will be appearing in the wild and in Eggs. Alolan Vulpix will be appearing in Field Research and Raid Battles. Evolve Vulpix or Alolan Vulpix into Ninetales or Alolan Ninetales for the Charged Attack Weather Ball. Ninetales will learn Fire-type Weather Ball, and Alolan Ninetales will learn Ice-type Weather Ball—attacks previously exclusive to Castform. Shiny Vulpix as originally discovered in the Kanto region will become available for the first time in Pokémon GO.
Machop: Evolve Machop into Machamp for the exclusive attack Payback. This Dark-type Charged Attack will give Machamp good coverage to deal with Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokémon that might otherwise give it trouble.
Rhyhorn: Evolve Rhyhorn into Rhyperior for the exclusive attack Rock Wrecker. Known to be Rhyperior’s signature move, this Rock-type Charged Attack will be a powerful addition to Rhyperior’s repertoire. Shiny Rhyhorn will also become available to encounter for the first time in Pokémon GO.
Dratini: Evolve Dratini into Dragonite for the Charged Attack Superpower. This powerful Fighting-type attack is a recent addition to Pokémon GO and could be a strategic option for Dragonite. For example, it could help Dragonite against Ice- and Rock-type Pokémon that would normally have an advantage over it. Superpower could also help Dragonite deal with Steel-type Pokémon that are weak to Fighting-type attacks.
Voting-Day Field Research Tasks

In order to ensure fairness, all candidates’ Field Research tasks will have the same objective you’ll need to complete in order to cast a vote for the February 2020 Community Day Pokémon. The Field Research objective you’ll need to complete will be...catching 20 Pokémon to earn 200 Stardust.

These are the four Field Research tasks you will see on voting day:

Vote for Machop Community Day! Catch 20 Pokémon
Vote for Rhyhorn Community Day! Catch 20 Pokémon
Vote for Vulpix Community Day! Catch 20 Pokémon
Vote for Dratini Community Day! Catch 20 Pokémon
The Field Research tasks will be available on voting day, Saturday, February 1, 2020, from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. in your local time zone. Every PokéStop that day will have a voting-related research task. If the PokéStop you spin does not have a task for the Pokémon you want to vote for, please spin a different PokéStop. We will ensure that there is an even distribution of these research tasks among PokéStops, and we’ll account for areas that have fewer PokéStops as well.

One research task completed equates to one vote for the Pokémon listed on the completed task. You may complete more than one voting research task, and they will each count as a vote for whichever Pokémon is listed on each task. Be sure to complete as much research as you can for the Pokémon you want featured for Community Day!

We hope you’re just as excited as we are to have the first-ever community-chosen Community Day Pokémon! You have one week to help campaign for the Pokémon you most want to be chosen—be sure to use #PokemonGOCommunityDay when doing so!

Make your voices heard, Trainers. It’s time for you to choose which Pokémon you want as the next Community Day Pokémon. Let’s GO!

—The Pokémon GO team

I'd rather vote for extended event time periods.
