The second Valentine's Day event from Niantic is here! It will last from Feb 13th until the 15th so get out there and catch as many as you can! Here's what's going on for these two days.

UPDATE: The event has now been updated to the 16th!

  • Increased spawns of Luvdisc and Chansey
  • Triple stardust from captured Luvdisc and Chansey
  • Luvdisc now has the opportunity to become shiny

Remember that tomorrow Kyogre will also be leaving as a raid boss, so make sure to catch one if you haven't already!

Happy hunting :)

Caught lots of Luvdisc, which helped me earn some more Stardust than my usual farming day. Since most (excluding those AWESOME low CP ones that are basically 300 free Stardust) can be quite annoying to catch, I got the idea of spending Golden Razz Berries on them (I tend to do that on most Stage 1 species anyway because of the increased gains); I had 300 and set a goal of getting them down to 250 today. This not only makes the Luvdisc much easier to catch, but also frees up some much needed Bag space that can get filled mostly with Pinap Berries and Ultra Balls, as I stock up for the Community Day. Gotta maximize those Dratini gains.

Unfortunately I didn't get any Shiny Luvdisc, I'm at 137/174 caught/seen total now (of which only 5 were before the event, from random seaside park spawns).
I currently have 552 Luvdisc Candy, although I should get much more tomorrow; in fact it's possible I'll get past 1000, although I don't really feel like using 50 more Golden Razz Berries on this.

Anyway, while I didn't get the Shiny (yet, hopefully tomorrow though), I did get a 100%: Luvdisc 143, spawned nearby in the city centre, people told us in Discord, we rushed to it.

As for the Chansey department, I did catch two (one with Golden Razz, one with Pinap); and this gave me enough Candy to power up my lone Blissey to 2753 CP. Slowly and steadily getting to that barely-before-3000.
 
Yeah, I've been having a similar problem. Luvdisc needs to be around 100 CP before the ring becomes green, but most of the time they're 300-500. I've just been mostly checking them and then leaving thrm if they aren't shiny.

I don't think I've seen one Chansey yet, but I haven't been looking too hard lately.
 
I elected to catch them for their 300 Stardust. It is easier to catch than your average Stage 1 Pokemon which would yield the same amount of Stardust.

I haven't looked for the Chansey, they just spawned on top of the Lured PokeStops I was hanging by.
 
Apparantly you can buy team rocket and rainbow outfits now. or soon.

Yup!

Hat: 100
RR Shirt: 400
Rocket Shirt: 400
Gloves: 50
Pants: 100
RR Boots: 200
Rocket Boots: 200

A little bit pricy. They should really add a way to gain cosmetics without Pokecoins. If they added them as a low chance item for a 7 day streak, it would make people really happy. It would also probably make Niantic more money, since people would get a part of a set and want to complete it (which would take months/years from just 7-day streak RNG).
 
Still no Shiny Luvdisc here and I'm up to 740 Candy (didn't catch as many as the first day because I'd not spend Golden Razz Berries as much).
The extra day sure is nice, although I won't be able to play much.
 
Final stats: 748 Luvdisc Candy, only the 100% kept everything else transferred.
Seen: 266 Caught: 186. No Shiny :( But not bad Stardust-wise.

Also got the 100% Chansey and some others for the Candy, this was a bigger highlight of the event! :D
