How was everyones community day?

I caught 175 beldums, including 9 shinies, using a pinap berry for most. I ended up evolving 6 (including 2 shines and 1 lucky) and saving the remaining candies to power them up. The only problem is that most of them are L20 or lower. I'm hoping for double candy for transfers over Halloween, and I plan to trade some internationally for 3 candies each.

I'm going to wait until the CP rebalance to power them up.

Didn't get anything exciting, the best of them is either a 88IV or 91IV and I probably will power that one up.

Not sure how many Beldum I caught, but I ended up with 8 shinies, one with 15/15/9 IVs. Evolved the best to Metagross so now I have a team of 6. Pretty good community day!

I think I've only caught beldum once, so according to my dex entry I caught the rest (104) during community day. Pinap for most of them, 6 shinies. Unfortunately all high level IVs were mediocre (even though I traded about 20 of them with an ultra friend to reroll IVs) and I ended up evolving 4:
lvl 30 with 73%
24 lvl 87%
lvl 30 shiny with horrible IVs (for a potential trade)
lvl 17 shiny with 73% (might power it up one day)

IVs were kinda disappointing but I don't have a lot of strong Pokemon and the 2 level 30 are both very usable so I'm really happy with what I got

Bad IV after bad IV after bad IV after... you get the idea. But hey, 500 CP shiny Metagross gonna look funny in the gym.

First community day where I actually played for the full three hours. Caught about 160 Beldum and evolved 5 of them. Definitely the best community day we have had.

I had a good CD.

Caught 14 shiny Beldum, although none had good IVs.
Ended up evolving four of them anyway.

Had saved a 100% Beldum that I evolved and I also hatched a 98% one during the day that I also evolved.
Then I evolved another two, one of which had 93% IV, the other was just a high level one.

So now I have eight Meteor Mash Metagross that I might use one day. Still have 870 candies left to power them up, if I decide to ever spend any Stardust.

Did six Mewtwo raids (I think), but didn't get any good ones. Skipped about five such raids as well. Niantic was very generous with M2 raids today.

Apart from that I also reached 40 million XP, which had been a goal of mine since this summer.
It took me 602 days to reach level 40 the first time.
To do it again only took 221 days.
That really shows how much easier it is to gain XP nowadays (although I do play a bit more now than I used to).

So yeah, the Community Day was good. I wouldn't have mind getting atleast one shiny with good IVs, but I'm okay with what I got.

And on a final note; I could tell that this was a special Pokemon (and exclusive move) for a Community Day because there were loads of players at the mall where I played. We blocked the entire place at times, especially during Mewtwo raids.
I would say that this and Larvitar has been the biggest CDs so far. Dratini close 2nd probably.

Caught 5 shinies, best one had 15a and single digit other IVs.

Caught loads of Beldum, broke 1.2k candy before the event was over. Outside a couple 96%'ers all of them became trade fodder.

The real hype of the event was the hour after spawns stopped where my fiancee and I sat in a Starbucks trading the day's catches for re-rolls and lucky chances. Five luckies including a 91% and 96% on my end and a 96% and 98% lucky on hers. One of the aforementioned 96% spawns was shiny on her account. To top it all off, at long last I was finally able to evolve my 100% Beldum from April and max it out.

I ended the day with seven Meteor Mash Metagross, all above 89% with the exception of the 15a shiny which is 64%. Hands down the most successful community day so far.

I also had zero clue exactly how good Meteor Mash was until I got home and read up on it, to which I say... really? I get that community day events should be special to those who participate and I love having an army of these things but it baffles me how Niantic seems to have zero idea on what game balancing is. You get some Pokemon with gargantuan stats that get crap moves so they aren't game-breaking and you get other Pokemon with mediocre stats that maintain relevancy due to getting key moves, but THEN you get Pokemon with gargantuan stats that get the most game-breaking exclusive moves that effectively render other attackers of that type insignificant. If someone could explain the logic behind it I'd love to hear it.

I caught almost 300 Beldum, 8 shiny (low rate) but one was 14-13-15. Caught a high-level 96%, low-level 98%, and traded during the hour after and got a 96% Lucky. Evolved 9 total and maxed 3. All-in-all a great CD for me.

13 shinies and this guy included. One of the most fun CDs i've had.

I brought out my main account and my mini account (which I use strictly as a repository for shinies to send to my main... double the shiny chance ;D) and in total I got 25. Girlfriend got five and a Meditite.

I pre-evolved into three shiny MM Metagrosses to send to my main; already traded one over, bad IV, as soon as midnight hits I'm sending the second one over. Wish me luck, boys and girls.

Complete and utter death and destruction. The first hour went well but the last hour was literally unplayable. Empty map for over 30 mins, nothing spawns, no stops, no gyms. Then Niantic told us that there will be another community day but anyone with a brain can guess nothing will change and it's the same server errors.

The only thing that saved me from complete and utter devastation is i reserved 2 beldums from 10km eggs and the psychic event, powered 1 up and evolved them, so i now have 2 meteor mash metagross available. One was a Beldum from the Psychic Event, other was a shiny that is close to being good with 14 atk and 15 def but 4 hp. I will power up the other one some day.

It made me literally want to die on the inside and is just a pure atrocity, nothing more. Niantic should be revoked developer rights by Nintendo because they are a piece of SHIT. This is blatantly intolerable, no matter how you put it in, lest be on a monthly basis.
