Nowadays it seemed NN is pushing very hard with all sort of theme events. First the adventure event, then this water event. Then there is the desire to get hold of new coveted shinies in these events. It's tempting to go all out for shinies during these events, but I guess I will not be able to keep this up with these events if these events coming in fast and furious. Last time, they have one event per month, or around US holiday period, so those extra XP/candies/stardust events are pretty much welcomed after long droughts. I think I'll play at my own pace, and try to ignore the hype. Afterall, it's just a game. If I continue with this pace, I'll get burned out sooner than later. Today I did 3 raids and in every raid, I can hear disappointing comments or sigh for not getting a shiny. It set me thinking maybe we are giving ourselves too much pressure for this game.

Something strange just happened. I got my first Shiny absol last week from my first excellent quest, now I got another from my second excellent throw quest. What's happening, NN?

Went to 2 more Raids today and still no shiny Whale. Total completed 4 raids. Saw most players looks like retirees so I think NN has a problem as these players may not buy coins. I also didn’t buy for a long time , like last 9 months.

Thanks. I used to do like what u do, maybe slightly more intense in the weekends when I have pockets of free time on Sat and Sun afternoon. I'll roam around neighbourhood using the sgpokemap to find the better mons on these afternoons, usually spent 2 hours per afternoon. Past 2 months, have been more active due to the shinies appearing, and now I think I'll go back to the way I had always played the game which is how I think I will enjoy this game better, shiny or no shiny.

I already used premium pass plus cracked a luckily egg as the two raids were only 7 mins apart and within walking distance. I still drove between two gyms but I saw a lot of players walked from one gym to another.

Caught another shinny karp but CP 69 and tier 4 again ...

[Toonsy92]

Hopefully...can hatch some shiny?

[Starbutt]

Caught a level 34 2.2k CP Lapras right at my house yesterday during rain boost!!! Too bad no map now otherwise I am sure there are lots of Lapras spawns.

Shinies are the only draw for me now. It's the element of surprise and excitement when you see bling bling after clicking on the monster that makes me continue playing this stupid game.

Caught a shiny Magikarp ytd but at a miserable cp... co 10. No luck with shellder. It seems very rare.

Need to check IV. If 100% can slowly pump up

OMG I caught a Blastoise, 3rd evolution now gives 1500 stardust. If got weather boost would be more.

My story for today goes like this. Had a 3 excellent throw in a row task for a couple days already but didn't have the mood to try complete. So thought I try to find 3 wailmer and finish it off before I accidentally deleted the task.

Found 2 wailmer side by side and managed to get excellent for both in a row. Continued looking for third wailmer and then I saw this shelder and I thought WTH just click and do a shiny check. And true enough it turned out to be an orange sea hum


Got so excited and forgot that I was trying to do 3 excellent throw in a row and straight away feed a golden rasp and throw ultra curve and got a great. Then streak broken!

Haha. Was happy anyway to get the orange seahum finally. Later in the evening start on my quest for 3 excellent wailmer again and finally got it.

Thinking I might save this larvitar and wait till comms day and see if it will become shiny
