Magmar CD just ended here and here's my take on it.

Total Magmar caught: 422

Total shiny: 19

Total 3*: 114

Total 4*: 0

Right of the bat I'll tell you it's way better than Electabuzz's CD. The catch rate is your typical easy CD catch, hardly need berry and usually just a one throw.

I didn't really went ham this CD though because fatigue from last CD is one thing and Magmar is something I already have a complete shiny family and lots of candy.

But there's always new players so we always have to keep in mind of that. Plus, with all this XL candy stuff and level 40 beyond stuff, it's best to grind candy and XP and dust again.

The usual CD perks like CD pokestop research, 5 photobombs, special research Magmortar knows Thunderbolt are still there so that's nice.

Again there's a free research for everyone too, another nice stuff from Niantic. Although Sinnoh stones are something I have way too much, even from last week.

I don't really like to hatch stuff during CD, my main focus is catching, no matter what the boost. So I myself can't comment on the hatches. But from my pals message group, their consensus are as follows: Stops don't always drop 2km egg (last CD is almost always 2km egg), and 2km is usually but not always Magby. Everyone got at least 1 shiny Magby after 10 or so eggs.

The gripe I have is that this bug is still there: When you click on a Pokemon who just ran away, the screen is frozen and you have to restart. At least the last bug you went to a white screen but still can escape by clicking on spawn location on screen.

In general, your typical CD, a fun one and definitely an improvement from the last.

Now here's hoping a CD weekend for December again 🙏
