Most importantly though, we finally have Glaceon and Leafeon in game!
*snip*
I hope it's okay to add that the announcement doesn't list the naming tricks for these two eeveelutions and if anyone needs them - it's Linnea for Leafeon and Rea for Glaceon! The naming tricks can only be used once, obviously like the others!
Regardless, I'm happy these two were finally released, as I was bitterly disappointed to not see them when Eevee Community Day was happening! I finished everything with them today, as several people were nice enough to throw up the special lures throughout the community day. I have both genders, luckies, and shinies registered! No lucky shinies of these guys yet, sadly! ;3;
➳ palla wrote:wow, torchic community day was a blast !! is it just me or did the spawn rate seem higher for shinies than it usually is on community days? I caught four in about 45 mins compared to three shiny eevees in two - two and a half hours during eevee community day, so either I've gotten much better at this or something has changed within the game itself. I was able to catch a spare shiny torchic today, though, so I'm really excited to save it to get that dream shiny flower eevee of mine ♡ gotta catch lots of shinies for it
I'm also really tempted to participate in a raid to get that shiny lapras on the 25th, but I've never participated in a raid or battle before so it's a little daunting ;v; I need to look up how to do raids tonight so I'm not lost haha. wish me luck!
I'm happy to hear someone else had good luck with the community day! I can't say for sure if there was a boost in spawn rates, at least not around here. If you had sunny weather, you may have seen more hence why it felt like more? If not, maybe you just got super lucky! I got three in the first 15 minutes and ended with a nice even 20 at the end of the day! I also got a 98% IV Blaziken, which wasn't shiny but was a wonderful treat for the day!
I wish you luck finding a shiny flower eevee, I've been searching for one for awhile myself and I've had no luck yet! I've seen some people say they traded shiny legendaries, shiny babies, and unowns for them though, as it's one of the rarest pokemon in the game (only available for two days!), if that helps you figure out their value? I hope you find a good deal though for one!
I plan to participate in shiny Lapras day myself, and I have an EX raid the day after. I'm excited to spend all day raiding, as it's rare I get to do all day raid trains! We're doing Lapras from 11am-2pm our time, then the rest of the day will be chansey and whatever can be shiny!
If you need any help with raiding, as it is a tad daunting, shoot me a pm with whatever you need help with, ➳ palla! I've done a lot of raids for this stuff and I'm happy to help answer your questions! <3

Also cause I like asking questions - I was wondering how many detective hat pikachus everyone ended up with now that the event is over? Also, how many people were bummed that pichu couldn't have the hat? I would have loved to see a little detective pichu!
