I haven't got anything I want from the research breakthroughs. Multiples of Zapdos, Moltres, and Suicune until last week when I got Raiku. Which is of no help. I need Lugia for the Pokedex, but also wouldn't mind actually catching a Ho-Oh as the one I have was a trade. I had a similar experience before my last two catches. I have a few Zapdos & Moltres, three Suicune, and a couple of Raiku. I've got 8 Suicunes so far lol 8 What am I supposed to do with that lol It's really annoying because all the people in my discord group are posting shiny legendary birds and I'm stuck just getting the same useless dog time and time again.

I got quite lucky yesterday. I caught a shiny Feebas on my first ever Feebas raid. That makes up for Niantic's mess on Feebas day.

How hard/easy is it to find the Spinda task in the US?
In 2018 it was quite easy over here in the UK. But the recent January and now February tasks have been incredibly hard to find here. Without my discord group I wouldnt have found the January task. This week I've checked hundreds of pokestops across 8 different high streets and not found it.

I haven’t found it since November. August I found 1, September 8, October 6, and November 2.

I was panicking to get Jan just in time, I never knew they wouldnt change his form for this month That’s good, then I’m only missing one instead of two. I guess it’s because all the tasks and stuff were meant to be for two months so they didn’t change Spinda. Although there was a new form added to the coding or whatever with what looks like a heart as one of the dots. Perhaps something for Valentine’s Day.

Spinda has now changed, its the Valentine's one with a heart on his face. For some reason his task is popping up everywhere now lol

I picked up two of the tasks while out finding my Pete Dunne figure. Also got a shiny Meltan after our battles. That was a telling sign for my Target run lol.

Damn it lol i struggle fighting your melmetal as it is, now i'll be taunted with battling a shiny one lol For tomorrow's community day i'll be out catching my swinubs when i'd usually battle you. i can still battle at the same time but i may put out very weak teams to experiment and i wont use shields, i'll get straight back to catching swinubs after lol. we got 5 battles to get rewards from tomorrow, right?

Yep 5, and they’re all supposed be stones. If you can battle me before your CD starts then that would work out much better cause I’ll be awake all night.

Wow. I did 9 Latias raids yesterday and went through 8 Clamperl tasks, and checked 200+ eligible water shinies ... my total shiny count for the day was a fearsome 0 lol
All my friends caught shinies. Most of them caught multiple shinies. Some people got 6+ Clamperl shinies. My sister even got a shiny and she only did 2 Clamperl tasks.
I've never spent a penny on the game whereas all the other people in my community must drop hundreds on the game.
Do you guys notice anything similar in terms of free-to-play versus paying players' shiny luck? Or am I just incredibly unlucky?

How much do you actually play the game daily? The people I see with lots and lots of shinies are those who seemingly play all the time. I’m sure they spend enough money, too.
I didn’t really play yesterday. Picked up 2 tasks, the first of which was not shiny. No other shiny encounters, but that was probably only like out of 25-30 tries.
