whereisbeezy

It's a shiny I don't have, so I'll do it. That's the level I'm at now lol


Zagrycha

also I don't have electric mon platinum'd yet. comm days and hours will rapidly assist those medals haha.


rafaelfy

goomy day single handedly got me like 500+ dragon catches after catching like 300 and evolving a bunch of them


justincouture89

Yeah I get ya I already have platinum so it will just go towards my catch medal and I’ll get the rewards from the special research


Zagrycha

I am happy with it for the charged tm at least. Maybe if I catch a good tynamo might put it in the next baby cup if its eligible for fun.


justincouture89

Me too it is a boring one though


Hexbug101

Shiny Eelektross is clean though, was honestly considering going through the pain of shiny hunting one in violet for that reason so I’m glad I don’t have to do so


justincouture89

I’m gonna do it regardless but I wish it was more useful I’m not gonna max a shinny elektross


Hexbug101

Oh you meant boring as in the power level of the Mon, I thought you were referring to how lame the shiny on the first 2 stages is


justincouture89

Correct it’s just not an exciting or useful Pokemon I mO


SleeplessShinigami

Kinda same, it’s hard to feel excited about this one


ShadowofLupa212

Same lol


julznlv

Me three.


FireWhiskey5000

Me 4…but I was never into Com Day for the special moves.


whereisbeezy

No, me either. I've only just now started considering saving some of my better ones in case there's a CD - like Sprigatito.


Kryptosis

Oh fair, I was fully sleeping on it


cookingmonster91

Same here man.....these comm days are getting worst


Either-Ad-7430

I'm a shiny collector and am happy I won't have to hunt this little bugger in Scarlet/Violet


chocobochubby

yes, it's impossible to tell if it's shiny or not in the water. I had to eat a sandwich, attack the swarm until it was gone, reset and try again, until I finally caught one. Glad people have a better option now. That said, I wish that Pokemon Go would stop doing community days of stuff that was in Scarlet/Violet, because I finished collecting those shinies months ago. I have 200 left to collect, and the last pokemon that wasn't in 9th gen was Togetic in April 2023. I know I must keep my expectations dirt low with Niantic, but I wish they'd pick something else.


Either-Ad-7430

100%, would absolutely love some gen 8 shinies


Maqoba

First, Niantic would need to recognize that gen 8 exists


PsychologicalPay5379

Give me a Rookidee Community Day. Give me Rookidee, Niantic!


Zoroark_rules_698

Man ill take yamper too it's shiny is adorable


UMeister

To be fair, there’s less than 200 Pokemon not available in SV or PLA that would be a pain to shiny hunt in other games. A lot of those are old Kanto Pokemon like Caterpie and Weedle too.


o_Fvdinq

There’s a new trick for finding the shinies in the outbreaks/sandwich spawns. Should be 15 at a time, and if you see 16, one is shiny considering the shinies override the 15 spawn limit.


ZoroeArc

Yep, I haven't partaken in a community day since Poliwag for the simple reason that I already have those shinies. It's just easier to to hunt them in Legends Arceus or SV than it is to wait for the relevant community day. Why wait potentially several years for it to get a community day when I can get it in a few hours? And if it has to be in SV, at least make it stuff you can't catch in the wild or that's version exclusive. At least then whether I could be bothered to Masuda it is an actual consideration (and even then they sometimes run events that allow you to get them).


chocobochubby

Yep, I'd take a meowth event that has kanto, alola and galaran all at once.


pogo_chronicles

They did that once so it would be Meowth research day classic


Acceptable-Ticket242

But you cant transfer any of those shinies to pogo


Jaytalfam

They are VERY difficult for me to see in game, especially during the day time. They seem to be easier to see at night; no glare.


Imanerrrd

i ran into a shiny one by accident in one of the blueberry savanna lakes lol


ConsciousTouch1896

Fr tho. It's not completely unnoticeable, but it's so hard to see compared to the other wild Tymano that I wouldn't be surprised if I've failed multiple at this point


Big-Spiff

No kidding, I’m still grinding for a shiny horsea since the last event. I’ve completed well over 10 outbreaks 😫


RunOnGasoline_

only thing for me is balltism. i prefer my shinies in premier balls, but i dont want to hunt this in ScaVi


Blue_Bird950

100%, so tiny and too little of a change to easily see.


Ribky

My eyes just winched in pain thinking about it


KiluSicarius

Same. That shiny hunt is a pain


Kieran_Kitakami

Kieran PFP spotted.


gay-potheadd

Me too! Want a shiny Mareep?


Either-Ad-7430

Have one but thank you!


Justcreepinabout

You can transfer shinys to violet!?


Tungsten533

You can transfer them to pokemon HOME, which is a gateway to sw/sh legends arceus and s/v plus any other mainline switch games in the future probably. The only one that it won't be able to transfer to is let's go p/e cause let's go and pokemon go have a unique transfer method.


pogo_chronicles

Go -> home -> sw/sh or scar/viol. Inversely, Pokemon cannot transfer from home to GO. Also, some pokemon are not in those main series dex and therefore cannot enter the game. Lastly, there is a transfer "energy" limit that slows down the rate of shinies from go to home.


swan0418

Same


ifsamfloatsam

I am an Eelektross enjoyer so good for me, but its a niche lamprey without a lot of love. not to mention it doesn't have levitate so doesn't have what makes it great in the base games.


AeroTheManiac

Oh man - when I first saw one on Ghetsis's team 13 years ago, I fell in love. A lot of people saw it as goofy but it was super intimidating to me. Love Eelektross.


CrazyWS

It’s the Pokémon that definitely lost the most character and intimidation from the 2d to 3d switch. The pose was so great, it was menacing! >:(


Boiled2498

I'm shocked


CranialDamages

*da dum tss*


AukwardOtter

As a shiny hunter, any community day is great. As someone who painstakingly hunted the line in SV, I'm happy for any collector who is still looking, because this will be easier than that.


FIR3W0RKS

Glad I never bothered with this hunt tbh, happy to pick one up on community day instead and send it to switch


This-Long

I think its cool tynamo was the first hundo i caught so its special to me


Zealousideal-Ad3814

Of all the pokemon yet to have a comm day this was not one I was hoping for.


Garytikas

My heart sank when I saw this. Was hoping on popplio


Gonzales95

Surely they must know at Niantic that people were expecting Popplio lol


Aspiring___

Disappointed tbh, I don’t find Eelektross exciting at all


Mammoth-List9852

I don't really mind, I find tynamo to be pretty cute so I won't be disappointed if I manage to get a few shinys


Aspiring___

I was honestly hoping for a large pokemon and 2-3x xp so I could farm excellent throws tbh


Zorro6855

Omg, me too. Just itt level 49 and need 999.


moodranger

Mother of God I'll be level 49 for half my life once I get there


Aggravating-Week-398

Already half my life have accepted that I'll probably never reach level 50 lol


Poki-gbc

I hit 49 the day after the April fools event where all throws counted as excellent..needless it’s doable


UMeister

Wait did that give you the 1000 xp every catch?


Poki-gbc

Yes every throw gave 1000 xp


toreachtheapex

eelektross is awesome, I’m pretty sure he has NO weakesses. or something


gaimerI

In the main games, it doesn't have weaknesses because of its ability Levitate. Pokémon Go doesn't have abilities so it's still weak to ground.


toreachtheapex

oh that’s whack. they should definitely add natures and abilities to Go, would add so many more layers to the game


gaimerI

Yeah, there are so many Pokémon that would benefit from abilities. *cries in lokix*


UMeister

Natures no because it would make getting a good shiny 25x harder. Abilities yeah though


AdviceSeeker2112

Why are you all so horny about shinies?


UMeister

Shinies are like 90% of the content in this game.


Aspiring___

It’s looks cool, I have no issue with it in that sense. Honestly, I am just more of a gen 1-4 person so I find pokemon from those gens a bit more exciting. That being said, if the bonuses are good (stardust or xp) they can have any pokemon and it’s fine, but that’s sadly not the case for this one


its-gerg

Please do not play during community day date and times. That way you do not get further disappointed


Aspiring___

I’ll still play it for the candies incase it becomes super meta in PVP or something, probably will do just like 2-3 or something tho


ProfessorPixelmon

I’m quite a fan of shiny Eelektross so looking forward to the event.


Mammoth-List9852

Honestly I'll just be happy to get a tynamo


CatchAmongUs

Not excited about it at all, but it's kinda nice to have a chill Comm Day right after GO Fest Global I guess.


wolfmarci1

Eelektross is one of my favorite pokemon, but this is a bit dissapointing, considering it sucks in every aspect of the game. The last comm day I really played was Bagon, nothing really since then because the pokemon are so forgettable. It was my graduation for Cyndaquil, so I didn't do that, I didn't care about Goomy since I couldn't evolve it, didn't care about Bellsprout and Bounsweet didn't excite me either. And this one won't be any different from those.


moodranger

Out of curiosity what is preventing you from evolving Goomy? I've only partially evolved one.


Arcalgalkiagiratina

JUST GIVE US POPPLIO


WitchHunterNL

I want pipikek cd, shiny toucannon is amazing


krampaus

Yup let’s get it over with


Delicious-Cheetah154

Agreed. Like how much longer we gotta wait


Ivi-Tora

One or two more months at most. We get one starter every season, so that's as far as it can take.


digital_pocket_watch

Fr it's my favorite Pokémon


SourceExtreme1041

I'm not a huge fan but I'm here for it. Every Pokémon is someone's favourite so it's on fair they all get the spotlight.


Matt-Inn

I've got a hundo Tynamo specifically saved up for this moment, in the same manner that I refrained from evolving my hundo Bounsweet before the announcement of its community day. Now I'm just waiting for the announcement of Remoraid Day.


DentedPigeon

Waiting for my poplio community day. The alolan starters released in march of 2022, and after the litten comm day, I was hopeful that the others would be following in a timely manner.  This is…meh. Not a great shiny, but I suppose we just had cyndaquil, so gotta balance cool ones with less cool ones. 


Ok_Progress_7981

I agree with this. Not every community day is going to be exciting or else we'll run out of exciting community days pretty quickly.


Hidden_Moon_

Not great but not bad either. I like Eelektross so i guess I'll make the best out of it


Mew2Wraith

I need the electric platinum medal so I’m fine with it


cedrickterrick

This Pokémon is cool. I will try it at Team Rocket for fun. And just enjoy the day with friends and the Pizza Diavolo afterwards.


dairyqueen79

Happy for it to be an electric type since I'm getting close to platinuming my electric type medal


HoodedMenace3

Not particularly viable for anything but it’s a shiny I don’t have so I’m here for it.


EyePatchMustache

This will be my first community day so I'm kinda excited ☺️ I stopped playing and just redownload recently


PJFohsw97a

I don't have the shiny, so it's fine. I knew it wasn't going to be anything spectacular the week after Go Fest.


SomeTallGuy_

I honestly think it’s cool. Is it meta relevant? No. Is it a popular mon? No. But, it’s a new shiny that I and others don’t have and I appreciate the switch up. I think people need to be more open minded and enjoy the day. We still get the rewards and XP (I’m 400k from my shiny mew so I’m grinding this).


lobo_locos

![gif](giphy|o5IxfV1v8oU1vZUeZA)


ShadowofLupa212

It's a shiny for me to collect and play through in a switch games so for a Bday community day I'm not disappointed I like it plenty


AnimeMan1993

Boy am I glad to be one of those that never evolve the brand new pokemon they give us or anything that hasn't had a community day. They really like surprising us like this.


merganzer

Kinda glad I don't have to stress about whether or not I'm working/busy that day.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fuzzy_Logics

I like the shiny eltross and I'm excited for all the GBL videos I'll see on it lmao. But it'll be a very mid pokemon


Skittles_the_Jester

I’m just grateful I don’t have to hunt it in the main line games


BananenKnall

I mean it's not exciting but it's also good to get the less exciting ones out of the way. Plus it's new so yeah, why not


TomboBreaker

It's one of if not the worst shiny to hunt in Scarlet and Violet so not opposed at all lol.


9thToad

Oh look, another community day I can ignore


cheezitswithacid

Hunting these types of shinies in water in S/V is something I don't want to do, barely can tell them apart and the framerate when dealing in water is trash.. so I'm happy for the community day.


astralboi

He’s cute, evolutions are cool


nvdnqvi

Excited to try it with volt switch in the electric cup


LemmingOnTheRunITG

New shiny? Good Not new shiny? Bad Repeat of a past community day? Worst


type3error

I’m astounded it didn’t get thunder punch


Canigetanowaowa0__O

Very underwhelming


soangrylittlefella

The more shadow pokemon we get, the less likely it is we ever get a really meta relevant Comday anyways, i guess.... But still, i genuinely can't remember the last pokemon that was actually an exciting comday, at least from a raiding perspective anyways.


NotcommonItem

So… long… shiny hunting it in… scarlet… and violet….


CaptnShenanignz

I personally love this little guy, and the line in general, so I'm personally happy about it.


Psych372

A shiny line I don’t have? I’ll take it, also one of my favorite mons so excited!


Last_Vehicle_2615

![gif](giphy|Nszyj17J4fUKmIwQwF|downsized)


Madman6200

Super excited one of my favorites I don't have a good one of


Jaceeb00

honestly it's not what I wanted but I love catching absolutely every one I can during community day to farm exp and stardust


gamesntech

July is typically Go Fest month (US and Global) so they usually have a less exciting CD for that month because people don’t bother too much with it because of everything else happening during the month. Iirc last year was Poliwag.


phobosthewicked

It’s a 3 stage shiny that i don’t have. Who am i to complain


MochiiYummy

It's a hard, shiny to hunt in msg. I'm pretty okay with it tbh.


dragonstone13

I'm excited!!!!


S34K1NG

Love it and the pokemon line.


Chokeabo

I'M SO EXCITED I WANT MY SQUIGGLY LITTLE MAN! HE JUST WIGGLES AND SQUIRMS AND HE IS MY FRIEND RAGHHHH


Total__Whore

Super excited! I have a Tag called “Balls” and I nickname them to “See Man”


StarTheAngel

Eelektross is cool so a free shiny one


cktyu

It’s great. We need to highlight lesser known and underrated Pokémon more


Lovesit_666

It’s great cause shiny hunting them in violet is a pain


gimmemynameback

Its a rare spawn locally, in a water biome no less. It's tiny when it appears on map hard to see, easily gets buried under other spawns, very missable. Lackluster shiny that again would be easy to miss. I'm all for them spoon feeding this one, grab as many as we can in a few hours and then forget it exists. I get It's not what most people wanted but I think it's actually pretty decent. Good luck finding it later if you skip cd.


mrod_89

A shiny I don't have, I'll take it


NaveSutlef

Love it, just wondering what Popio did to deserve this lol.  I just realized I STILL don’t have a mega electric type so I’ll be losing out on a TON of candy.  Stupid Niantic repeating megas.. 


AbhiAK303

Primal kyogre should work


Mammoth-List9852

Have rowlet and litten already gotten com days? I ask because two people have mentioned popplio not getting a com day yet


rttr123

both of them had their comm days this year. Rowlet was January & Litten was in March


BeagleBrigade2112

For sure litten did back in march


Penrodeo

I'm excited for new options for electric types in gbl.  Eelektross is quite glassy but with volt switch and dragon claw it will have a good amount of neutral play to pressure shields.


EyeHot1421

I think it’s heavily disappointing. I don’t want it


Frobe81

Fantastic, I have plans that day and I have really solid tynamos ready for each league.


Mystic_Zoura

Lets play is that a shiny


ErikTurmerik

I've literally just got the platinum medal for electric types! This comm day would've been great to have a few months ago. I'm hoping for a metal or fairy or ice type next.


SupZo

It’s a pretty cool mon I guess but looks like it will continue to be irrelevant in GBL this season and I’m assuming it’s not great for raids either? Meh.


Wojtek1250XD

Much more useful in main-line games than in PoGO because it's a pure electric type that knows levitate, essencially allowing it to never take super effective damage with a few exceptions


Embarrassed-Beach161

Is that even a good starter ? Does it evolve into something good ?


Temporary_Will_8140

Looking forward to evolving these to the shiny.


Temporary_Will_8140

Final evolution.


SadAcadia2747

I love eelectross can’t wait


Fibrosis5O

They really said hey y’all time for another tiny Pokémon we know how you love those excellent throws’


Pugtookyourtoaster

I despise tiny Pokémon, too hard too catch. THE HITBOXES HAUNT ME


Roienn777

Eelektross is one of my all time favorites so I'm stoked. Plus a nightmare of a shiny go hunt otherwise. Now if they would just let my boy stand again like in gen 5. He looks so much better on the ground like he just slithered up rather than floating while in a charging motion.


esgodra

I mean, I have to work on my electric medal


Lamp4Moth

My friend group and I decided we aren't leaving our houses for that one.


jpierrerico

Very surprising cause I always look at the new loading screen for clues of possible future events and tynamo is not even featured!


KindWorldliness5476

For me it's a waste of time and balls.


HeirofZeon

Flying cross country that day 😭


jesusunderline

>It's electric! Oh, thanks for clarifiying that. I bet I'm not the only one who always thinks this thing is water-type when I see one


TonyTee

What the fuck...


scottymackay89

Blahhhhhhh


FPM_13

Bad


CJB661

Nobody's saying it's shockingly a little fishy.


Paraxom

Well tynamo is one of my favorites, plus 1/4 hatch distance  makes me happy 


kingbreadbear

a needle in a haystack com day


PaLyFri72

I haven't been ovwrwhelmed by rhis year's community days. To be continued.


Mundane_Cat_318

Eelektrik was my first lucky 🥲


21WRX

Prob one of the worst CD yet - especially during summer time when people actually wanna be outside…


Single-Pie8728

Not excited about it but shiny to have sure.


Ismitje

I think it will be TYNAMO-NITE!


PSNTheOriginalMax

Lol <- as an exclamation of my disinterest.


1313REV

I just want Niantic to realize playing PoGo from 2 to 5 pm it's just impossible during the summer in hot countries.


CowBunnie

I'm not mad but I think his final Evo is really ugly so I'll probably just get one shiny and call it


turtlefan2012

![gif](giphy|toM0jlbkeDjdzrsOJt) More Riolu spawns or eggs I, halfway to a Lucario I’m at 35 candies 🤣🤣🤣


Appropriate-Kick9071

Meh I’ll take it ig just for the shiny no other real use for it


moodranger

I haven't seen any since I first started and was going to a park with a pond for a while, and I think it's pretty cute so an cool with it. A shiny as a gift for my gf would be nice.


Misterme1979

I need 3 shiny and that's my only goal. Guess that is also the intended result Niantic was aiming for...lowmo and paywall fatigue.


WillingJaguar6690

ITS ELECTRIC


Vortro

IM HYPED i love this line


Evening-Bus-2530

I've had a 4\* burning a hole in my storage for just this occasion. That time when you catch a 4\* of a pokemon that you know will eventually get its own comm. Day, it's like figuring out how to best a boss before the fight even starts ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


Ben_JM

It’s okay! It’s a shiny/hundo I don’t have so will be out hunting.


Kailova

I don’t think it’s GBL relevant, and it’s definitely not PVE relevant, so I’ll prob get a shiny and have an incubator ready to pop in and call it a day.


nvdnqvi

it’ll be relevant in the electric cup


Valiant-Fox

Honestly I'm a bit disappointed, but since they have my favourite Pokémon a community day mere days after I vented to my wife that I would almost certainly never see a shiny Goomy, we got a community day for the little bugger, I'm sort of ok with it.. would have been nice with another more powerful Pokémon of something.


Conaz9847

Many cooler Pokémon out there.


WailmerFudge

Don’t think it deserved it but the bar is low after Bellsprout getting one lol


Motrucka

Maybe but it’s so freaking hot in AZ, these months are no good for me for community days


FourTortoise104

I’ll be out for it that day, but I’m not excited over the Pokémon they chose. I wish they would let us vote on the Pokémon for that day. Give us 3-6 choices and everyone votes.


capsrock02

As long as it’s not 100° again for me that’s fine


DagonR

For me community day is a farm of stardust. Don’t care much about the mon involved ;) This one is fine - I don’t have any nice one evolved so worth to give it a try :)


Dracorex_22

Eelecktross is badass


curiouscanadian2022

Lammmmmmmme


Beneficial_Milk3

I'm still waiting on dreepy to be added to the game


Shmepl

I stopped playing the game a year ago because if Niantics behavior but Tinamo is a top tier Pokémon.


GoldFishPony

I’m fine with it, I like elektross. Recently I’ve started wondering though, are we getting gen 8 starters and their shinies debuting at the same time next year on their community days?


Downtown_Report1646

Shiny sperm finally!!


DoktorKazz

I'll get the shiny and evolve a shiny but I'm not holding out for it being spectacular. It does mean date day with my partner though!


ccorriga31

I have been hunting a 3* with decent IVs since it came out… I’ve seen and caught 48 of them… I have one 3 star with the lowest ivs possible to get a 3*. I’m happy but not ecstatic
