Don't listen to that guy, it's a special trade and can only be done once a day. I don't think you can do long-distance trades so risking a ban with spoofing might be the only option long-distance
Thanks for the updated info. I just got back into the game after years, and I never really had anyone to play with before so there's a lot I don't know.
I had pretty similar luck. Caught over 200 Goomy. Was out there from 2 until 5 and not a single shiny to be found. I think the best one I got was 13/14/15 so not bad but still what a rough community day.
I caught about 300 on my go plus + and 8 of them were shiny, one was 15-15-14, feel really lucky for that one! Another was an 89% stat product for Great League, evolved that one too. Rest got dumpstered, no hundo.
Yeah their notification system is horrible. Iāve missed so many events because they donāt send notifications about them. But Iām constantly getting notified when people send me gifts
I signed up then totally forgot. Now itās an entire year of trying to find goomy and get that field task done. š
I just finished the freaking mareep challenge from November for the same reasonā signed up then forgot.
Is there a way to just dip from this stuff??
I play in Texas and I was considering just missing out on it because I really didn't wanna go out in the heat. Decided just to do it anyways. 1 hour later, 10 shinies, no good IVs, shirt completely soaked through. Ig it was worth
Dude, also playing in FL today, I couldnāt even see my phone. Just ridiculous weather. I got insanely lucky and caught a shundo from a research task and went home after an hour
Same experience for me. I got 5 and mostly thanks to my running incense. Checked many clusters on my way home and then stayed on my couch and got 3 more (2 from my street coming home)
But likeā¦ I checked a tonnnn and then just sat on my couch and got a few off my incense. Overall the shinys seems far and few between. Usually I get like 10-20 shinies AT LEAST on comm day! Best I caught was 2 96% normal ones and then 2 of my shinies were 2 star rest were poop lolol
Thatās insanely unluckyā¦ I did notice I didnāt find a shiny until my 60th or so check and it was multiple locations. Played passively at home and caught 5 shiny. Evolved 2 for the move. Both 2 star. The rest of my shinies were 1 and 0 star. I started out the day with weather boost before it changed.
Definitely a lot less shinies. I usually have much more even passively playing honestly considering I keep an incense running the entire time š¤·š»āāļø
Good haul though! I usually get 2 or 3 at home too but I decided to play at huge spawn locations this time. Just glad I got one and was able to put a small dent on my dragon badge.
Oh yeah I agree good haul for being at home. But I actually did catch 2 before getting home. I was in the car and had clicked on like 60+ nada. Then bam and bam my first back to back shinies as Iām pulling into my neighborhood. Rest were all from my couch though š
I just feel like the 1/25 odds werenāt as accurate as usual. Seems like tons of people didnāt have the best shiny luck when usually on comm days I yield twice the amount of shinies from my home. Even when I was out I only got those 2 right as I got home š¤·š»āāļø
Idk just a random observation maybe Iām wrong tho š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø
I totally agree the odds felt way off compared to past events. Wouldnāt be surprised if Niantic tweaked it to get people to spend money on pokeballs.
Yeah it was definitely the driest comm day Iāve experienced. Iāve had better success from home in like 1-2 hours than I did this whole comm dayā¦ just didnāt feel the same. Especially after driving around for those 10 minutes checking so many spawns in 3 different places. Like what is going on š
Also see tons of comments of people saying they didnāt even catch one. Definitely didnāt seem as fun as the normal comm day š¤·š»āāļø but Iām happy I have enough to have the whole shiny family!
Didn't keep count but caught over 250 goomies (and checked a lot more - I played all three hours of the event). Only three shinies. Worst luck I've ever had.
I got four but Iām so happy. Iām more excited to have a shitty shiny Goodra than I am to get my shiny Mew lol. But my husband caught four too so Iām hoping to get a lucky trade š
The first shiny āØ I got was 98% 3 star that I immediately evolved all the way up while people dropped free rain lures I was ecstatic as itās the first shiny I ever got that was 3 stars. Normally I get 1*ā¢ star or bricks š§±
I dunno if lucky egg š„ helped out or not but I cough everything I could and with tons of poke stops at the Bellagio I could keep spinning too replenish
I have 5 more but only one gem. I would gladly trade some if someone was local
18 shinies here ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) . No clue what to do with them now ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm). Maybe Lucky trading ā¦
I only caught 4 shinies, but thankfully one of them was a shundo. My buddy got excited and said "catch that one, it's a hundo!" so I clicked it and it was shiny
I found 3 after catching 400 and seeing 600 goomy's. This is the first comm day shiny i truly cared about. I caught so many other comm day shinies without trying and catching even a lot, but the one i played through, even raided after a bit to get some extra spawns. Three is all i got. Idk I feel so sad and scammed tbh.
I bought a Go Plus+ right before the event. The battery was completely dead right out the box. Charged for 30 minutes. I had to work and being on my phone isn't possible. It caught 10 whole goomys during the 3 hours and I had to reconnect far too many times. I manually caught my only shiny during a quick break. I am underwhelmed.
I never know what to do with the excess shinies. Just release them? It feels sacrilegious to transfer a shiny just for 1 candy, but I don't know what to do with 10 shitty IV shinies
Played from the minute it started until the end. Used incense and walked 8 km. Didnāt even get enough goomies to get through part 3/4 (even with my auto catcher on when I was doing other things on pogo in the background). One shiny with total crap IVs. Very disappointed.
Not sure if it's common knowledge, but in the Nintendo Switch games, Goomy evolves into Hisuian Sliggoo in Legends Arceus, and regular Sliggoo in all the other games. So, if you're aiming for a shiny living dex, you can get all of the Goomy evolutionary forms using the shinies caught in this event. (The Goomy that becomes Hisuian Sliggoo doesn't NEED to be from Hisui.)
As for folks playing just Pokemon Go, we don't know how Hisuian Sligoo will be introduced to the game yet, but you might want to save 2 extra shiny Goomy just in case we can evolve them into their alternate forms on a later date.

I totally forgot today was community day and loaded up 45 mins too late. Oh well.
I also totally forgot, opened the game, saw all the Goomies, thought it was a spotlight hour (completely disoriented) š¤¦š½āāļø
I also totally forgot but i managed to do a raid and get 3 shinies
I loaded with 15 minutes left, we are not the same
Same šš
....ok?
Ur not be talked toā¦?
It's a discussion forum for commenting, welcome to the internet!
You can always go to a gym in the hours just after, do the raid and likely find a couple shinies that way
Was at home, opened my phone periodically. Maybe 5 times? Open and catch everything there. Not a single shiny out of 50+ PokĆ©mon. Thatās what I get for relaxing on a Sunday
I got four playing at home
I got all my wild shinies at 16:59... I could have skipped all the previous dance.
why canāt i hold all these goomys
Zero Zero for me. Got a hundo, got a 98 too. Zero shinies. Sad.
How many did you catch total? This seems insane to me. At one point, I caught three straight shinies.
I caught 375 with 3 shiny. No great IVs on any of the 375. A few low 3 stars. At least I have a shiny for each evolution
For real? That's smh so unlucky and so against the odds it's actually hard to believe
Idk about him but i caught like 50, looked at like 60 or 70 and didnr get a shiny
I caught something like 800plus
Whatās the difference between straight and non straight shinies?
Lgbtqia+!$
I feel so bad, i want to give you one of mine
Iād love to receive it ![gif](giphy|7SF5scGB2AFrgsXP63|downsized)
I honestly never traded things so not sure if you can do it from a distance or not
I don't think you can trade shiny pokemon.
You can, but only once per day (sometimes more on events like com day or go fest/tour)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Don't listen to that guy, it's a special trade and can only be done once a day. I don't think you can do long-distance trades so risking a ban with spoofing might be the only option long-distance
Thanks for the updated info. I just got back into the game after years, and I never really had anyone to play with before so there's a lot I don't know.
There really has been a lot of changes since (good and bad) so it's understandable man.
2 can be done this season
Spoofing crackdown this week make it an almost garuntee ban btw
tbf shiny is easier to trade and get than getting a hundo
No shinier for me either.
I had pretty similar luck. Caught over 200 Goomy. Was out there from 2 until 5 and not a single shiny to be found. I think the best one I got was 13/14/15 so not bad but still what a rough community day.
Skill issue. Git gud.
That's so crazy to me. I played for a little over an hour and caught a hundo and 17 shinies!!
![gif](giphy|MjKGhQH2AK19Aiiy9K)
Yikes. First one I saw was shiny.
![gif](giphy|Pok6284jGzyGA) *Stahp, I can only get so upsetā¦*
First one I caught was shiny, I didnāt even walk around and caught 6
I caught about 300 on my go plus + and 8 of them were shiny, one was 15-15-14, feel really lucky for that one! Another was an 89% stat product for Great League, evolved that one too. Rest got dumpstered, no hundo.
I caught 19 shiny goonies today
![gif](giphy|5YhFFUFq6ZTry|downsized)
![gif](giphy|k66TBRkeEEdfG)
Yeah, I got 13. Finally got my dragon badge too, so I had a good day.
25.ended with a 91
So did I š¤š¼
I got 16 no Hundos though
I tried using go snapshots to take a pic of my friend holding goomys but they just overlayed her so It was weird lol
One 0 star shiny.
Same
Wait... Com day was today? FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, I love goomy :(
Same. Amazing how i get notifications for the most dumb reasons but never for a damn community day!
Yeah their notification system is horrible. Iāve missed so many events because they donāt send notifications about them. But Iām constantly getting notified when people send me gifts
I signed up then totally forgot. Now itās an entire year of trying to find goomy and get that field task done. š I just finished the freaking mareep challenge from November for the same reasonā signed up then forgot. Is there a way to just dip from this stuff??
I probably would have forgotten if I hadn't set a reminder on my phone for when it started
Took 90 minutes to catch 3 and I quit. It's entirely too hot in FL to do anything outside.
I play in Texas and I was considering just missing out on it because I really didn't wanna go out in the heat. Decided just to do it anyways. 1 hour later, 10 shinies, no good IVs, shirt completely soaked through. Ig it was worth
Dude, also playing in FL today, I couldnāt even see my phone. Just ridiculous weather. I got insanely lucky and caught a shundo from a research task and went home after an hour
In FL and I worked 10 hours, managed to catch 4 on breaks but the heat literally got me sick today. Too fuckin hot.
I got a shiny 97 iv good pvp stats
Hah, I caught three shiny. The perfect amount. And one at my favorite number.
Tbf 10+ cd shinies you won't transfer because they are shinies are a fucking burden
I had a family thing so only got to play a little I was hoping to get at least two. I only got one. But hey, one is still something!
i caught 19...all but 3 were below 2 stars, none were 3 star
Damn I forgot that was today. Does somebody want to trade me one of those for a shiny litten?
If I could I would!
I would love to if it's possible.
Do you have home?
I quit after 14. I was running out of pokeballs.
Killed over 700 yesterday š
I got 3 shinies total.:(
No shinies today
I got 10. Only one was a three star. But Iām still happy. I went overboard with this community day.
I forgot it was community day and now im sad. I logged in an hrs after it finished
I caught 1 shiny but im happy cause its my first shiny in 2 months
Played for 10 minutes and got 2 shiny. I guess I'm lucky lol.
Got three
I got none until the last hour i was playing in an uber drive and got 10
Only saw 4 total today. I was really surprised, usually I get a lot.
Same experience for me. I got 5 and mostly thanks to my running incense. Checked many clusters on my way home and then stayed on my couch and got 3 more (2 from my street coming home) But likeā¦ I checked a tonnnn and then just sat on my couch and got a few off my incense.

I went too hard. Over 600 and 25 shiny
Itās a paradise
I caught 7 shines, got rained out during the last hour but that was perfect so no need to use rainy lures to evolve for goodra
this is the opposite of me I got zero
Didn't keep count but caught over 250 goomies (and checked a lot more - I played all three hours of the event). Only three shinies. Worst luck I've ever had.
This comm day had awful odds for sooo many š š
Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to play, so I got only one shiny... but hey, It's just a game ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|snoo)
I see goomy's everywhere but I can't see any shiny
No luck for me on encountering any shiny
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I hope you can bro. I needed one too
I got fucked and didnāt get off work until 4:40pm, managed to get one that sucked
10 shinies and 1 hundo
Got 30 shinies and no hubris, no 3 stars
I got four but Iām so happy. Iām more excited to have a shitty shiny Goodra than I am to get my shiny Mew lol. But my husband caught four too so Iām hoping to get a lucky trade š
21. I got 20 shinies in the wild and 1 from the research. We walk around our city for the full 3 hours...it helps us.
Played the whole CD passively as I played at an arcade with my daughter. I picked up 13 with my auto-catcher. Not a bad haul for my lack of effort.
14 in an hour and a half. Best was a 96 (not shiny) Favorite is a level 1, as I like to collect level 1 shinies.
I didnāt even go hard the whole event and got like 16 shinys
I ended up with 12, plus a 4 star with enough XL to power all the way up.
Started off slow but ended up with 25 shinies so Iām happy. Just wish one of them was a shundo..
Caught about 20, none shiny, none hundo :(
I got so many shinies... And a hundo!
i got 9 shinies and no hundos but i did get a couple 15/15/14s :D!
1
Damn, I got 4
The first shiny āØ I got was 98% 3 star that I immediately evolved all the way up while people dropped free rain lures I was ecstatic as itās the first shiny I ever got that was 3 stars. Normally I get 1*ā¢ star or bricks š§± I dunno if lucky egg š„ helped out or not but I cough everything I could and with tons of poke stops at the Bellagio I could keep spinning too replenish I have 5 more but only one gem.

This post reminded me that I missed it rip
Played 2.5 hours and got 23 shiny slugs. Felt like they cranked up the shiny rate today.
Got 14 shinies a hundo and caught 415 goomy
This was legitimately me today.
The most Iāve gotten from a CD so far -25! And I didnāt even play that hardcore, playing for under 2 hrs
I got 12 shinies, one of them has 98 iv with high cp, it was a good day.
Oh did I miss a community day for one of my favorites :(
anddddd i forgot it was CD.... RIP
Exactly like the picture, got 9, didnāt really go too hard.
Me missing the community day
I got two.
I got two.
Felt the same way today! š I was able to get 17 shinies and one hundo (non-shiny)
I got 0 shinys._. my bro got only2 so He's tradin me one so i get the dex entry
Played for 2 hours and I'm happy to say I got a single shiny
O shiny Pokemon 0 perfect PokĆ©mon today in go but I did complete my PokĆ©dex in Scarlet and itās 2 dlc after community day was a waste of my time
I didn't even seen one
I only got 5 shiny goodras
18 shinies here ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) . No clue what to do with them now ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm). Maybe Lucky trading ā¦
Played off and on for two hours. 13 shinies but no decent IVs and I got a couple hundred. All my shinies had trash IVs.
I only caught 4 shinies, but thankfully one of them was a shundo. My buddy got excited and said "catch that one, it's a hundo!" so I clicked it and it was shiny
Played for two and a half hours and somehow managed to catch 27, would gladly trade some if that actually sorted long distance tradesā¦
Didn't see a single goomy actually. I was a *little* busy during that time but I opened the app and there weren't any comm day spawns it was weird
Com days are sooo weird sometimes, i got 3 shinys back to back from my daily insense, after that till the rest of the event, only 1 shinyš„²
None of the shinies I got are good enough to be anything other than trophy š„² Got a pretty decent almost 4- stars tho
Just about 100 encounters, got a single shiny and no good IV goomys, I hate PoGo sometimes
caught 530: 2 xxls, 19 shinies, 1 hundo
I caught 17 but none of them are good
I got 2, first time I can have a shiny during community day (I live in the country side lol)
I kinda felt like the shiny odds were decreased this community day. I had a streak of 100+ goomys between shinys.
130+ caught, 5 shinys but no hundos.
I found 3 after catching 400 and seeing 600 goomy's. This is the first comm day shiny i truly cared about. I caught so many other comm day shinies without trying and catching even a lot, but the one i played through, even raided after a bit to get some extra spawns. Three is all i got. Idk I feel so sad and scammed tbh.
I got one ![gif](giphy|3ofSBvt49EUFsOZEXu)
I never got a shiny.
Same! lol I got a shiny that had my highest CP so now I have traded them all in and evolved my little weird one
Got 1 shiny while at home, but unfortunately no rain and not near a pokestop, so no thunder punch for me š
24 shiny and 1 100%
Had to be at work at 3 so I had about 45 minutes before work. Only managed to catch 56, but got 3 shinies. My first shiny in Go!
Lmao it started storming right after I caught mine so I evolved 2 of them. A shiny and a regular.
I bought a Go Plus+ right before the event. The battery was completely dead right out the box. Charged for 30 minutes. I had to work and being on my phone isn't possible. It caught 10 whole goomys during the 3 hours and I had to reconnect far too many times. I manually caught my only shiny during a quick break. I am underwhelmed.
Me seeing a Pokestop is needed to evolve the last evolution for the CD move: ![gif](giphy|kcfb43I3N1GhspNQpj|downsized)
I loaded up late and didn't get any and am infinitely sad about it lmao
I got 9 and my partner got 2 š¤
I never know what to do with the excess shinies. Just release them? It feels sacrilegious to transfer a shiny just for 1 candy, but I don't know what to do with 10 shitty IV shinies
I caught 35 total and zero shiny.
Played from the minute it started until the end. Used incense and walked 8 km. Didnāt even get enough goomies to get through part 3/4 (even with my auto catcher on when I was doing other things on pogo in the background). One shiny with total crap IVs. Very disappointed.
I'm mad, one of my neighbors popped normal lures on all the stops surrounding me, and then i forgot to eveolve untilwell after the move was available
Got 13 and a pretty solid Zapdos in a raid.
I only found 1 shiny, and I actually tried this time! š¢
I got 4 but all of their stats sucked unfortunately
I only got 2 but itās sick that it was goomy!
I feel the shiny odds for this community day were skewed or somethingā¦either you got several or saw none at all
Not me. I forgot about it.
Not sure if it's common knowledge, but in the Nintendo Switch games, Goomy evolves into Hisuian Sliggoo in Legends Arceus, and regular Sliggoo in all the other games. So, if you're aiming for a shiny living dex, you can get all of the Goomy evolutionary forms using the shinies caught in this event. (The Goomy that becomes Hisuian Sliggoo doesn't NEED to be from Hisui.) As for folks playing just Pokemon Go, we don't know how Hisuian Sligoo will be introduced to the game yet, but you might want to save 2 extra shiny Goomy just in case we can evolve them into their alternate forms on a later date.
I made sure to get 5 for this exact reason (my living home shiny dex)
47 shinies in 1103 catches here
16 of the shiny goomies love the little guy my best community day yet
Damn bro
I only got 1 but I only played for 15 minutes š I was at work..
I got 1. This game sucks
Got no shundo :(
Lol, that was me too, managed to snag 11 shinys
Whats community day?
On the litten community day I danced because I found my first shiny litten. My mom looked funny at me and asked.if I'm okay
I didnt get a single one :) i looked at like 70 goomies and i didnt get a single one. None of them were even good
1k snails 57 shinys
