It's halfway into CD now and time for lunch break. At the same time, here's my take on it.

Total Swablu caught: 177

Total shiny: 11

Total 3*: 36

Total 4*: 0

The weather in real life is partly cloudy but not in the game unfortunately so no boost. So far gotten 82 XL candy today.

Maybe it's just me but the catch rate doesn't feel like your usual CD. There's been some Swablu that requires few Pokeballs to be caught. Yes I'll admit I'm just using normal balls with normal Pinaps only and also Swablu even at CP400-ish is quite high level already so maybe it's that.

But my advice to everyone for this CD is focus on XP! 6000 for excellent throw plus other additional XPs, this is the real bonus of the day. IMO way easier excellent throw than Fletchling.

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

Now I think I saw LeekDuck infographic on Field Research rewards giving out Golden Razz but I'm sure I didn't find any, just like Snivy's. In addition, there's also 20 Altaria Mega Energy as reward too. So hurray Niantic for giving out Mega energy! So I'll guess there's no need to raid it?

In general, CD with XP raining!
