It's 4 hours into CD here and time for my lunch break so here's my take on it.

Total Roselia caught: 287

Total shiny: 14

Total 3*: 58

Total 4*: 0

My country still in restrictive movement conditions so I can't travel far, only played in the nearby park.

Whole 4 hours were weather-boosted so it was stardust galore.

And that helps with XL candy grind. I started with 17 and now stands at 354. Of course hatching Budew also contributes to that number.

Is the catch rate difficult or not adjusted to CD standard? I'm iffy and not sure really. They were time when I can catch CP1k easily with regular balls no berry and they are times when very low CP keeps breaking out despite berry. So subsequently I razzberry every encounter so I can't assess further if the rate was changed or not.

Hatched 33 2km eggs and got 4 shiny Budew. However though in my estimation, 80% of eggs I got today are 2km while the rest are 5 and 10km eggs so be aware of that, it's not a guarantee of 2km egg.

On top of that, it's not a 100% guarantee of hatching Budew. I had hatched Wingull, Snubbull from 2km eggs I received during CD hours.

The usual CD perks like CD pokestop research, 5 photobombs, special research Roserade knows both exclusive moves are still there so that's nice.

I'm not sure if field research rate is reduced because I use roughly the same route and in my estimation, 80% research is that catch 3 Roselia while the rest are event research. Normally during other CD, I only find 1 or 2 non CD research l, but today's I found a number.

Two things that annoy me though.

First is the ongoing Team Rocket event, in which the grunts are on the map so at time I clicked on them when I was trying to click on nearby Roselia.

Secondly is the bug they haven't repaired yet, in which if you clicked on Pokemon that just ran away, the game is stuck and you have to restart the game. It's been there since end of last year, come on.

In general, nice CD as always.
