Why is it 2x stardust instead of 3x?? :(

Following the pattern from before, I was expecting this to be a 3x stardust community day. Pretty disappointed to see it's only 2x stardust (with 2x catch xp).

We had followed a 3x stardust > 3x experience > .25 x Egg distance trend for 9 months. Only the very first CD (2x xp) was out of the trend.

For the first time ever I had emptied my stardust stores, and then the stardust event is 33% less effective :(

It's still better than no dust bonus.

It's because there's no 3 hour lures and the bonus in place of it is 2x exp. So it's a balance between the dust and exp bonuses since they're happening together and not separate I guess. This seems like a really bizarre move on their end, exp is the least exciting and most shallow of the bonuses.

Not this time. Look at the bonus bubbles. Until this CD at least one has always stated 3 hour lures.

EDIT: Disregard this, I suck eggs and glossed over the note about it in the in-game message.

Also only catch bonus. No stardust hatch bonus.

After Pikachu CD, the exp/dust bonuses have always been limited to catches. Nothing new there.

Because they are just garbo from this point on. The Regis and Giratina (And the shafted bad legendary moves) shows.

I'm also disappointed, 3xdust bonus would have been much better. Still, 2xdust is a dust bonus and gives me a reason to keep catching even after I have one shiny.
