How do you like the Valentine Event so far

I like it. In half an hour, caught 18 Luvdisc (including one shiny). With starpiece, got myself +8000 dust, fast and easy.

Disappointed, made Luvdisc first catch of the day and only got the usual 700 dust, not x3.

Low catch rate makes it feel only slightly better than catching two easy-rate weather boosted 1st evolutions. Shiny is hideous. Luvdisc won't ever evolve so all this candy is worthless, and it takes up far too many spawnpoints.

Also salty that there's no double candy, even if only for one day.

Well, the stardust's just in time for preparing my Houndoom and Shiftry for the Ex raid, and since there's a new shiny out there, I'll be seeking it to add it to my collection, even if it's pretty useless. Too bad i can't afford a star piece.

with starpiece = 8100 stardust
without starpiece = 5400 stardust

1 starpiece = 2700 stardust. Is it worth it??

I have loads of starpieces and will always throw in one when taking a 1/2 hour walk.

2700 stardust/0 coins = dust/coin ratio nearing infinite. If you've bought a bunch of ultra boxes that give a load of them you'll have a lot of them to burn too, I use one on my 7th day streaks even if I'm not doing anything else to gain dust during that 30min.

This event is terrible given the expectation of double candy. 2 days of insane amounts of Luvdisc isn't really my cup of tea.

Don't think of it as two days of insane amounts of Luvdiscs, think of it as two days of insane amounts of stardust.

Disgusting, Underwhelming and Appaling. They didn't even boost the encounter rate of most pink pokemon and double the candy and i had never saw a chansey. If every event is just like this then just don't make any.

Disappointing and underwhelming. No double candy, no double xp nor stardusts for all pokemons.

Well, 300 dust per Luvdisc is Okay, 450 with star pieces, but this event totally failed to impress me.

I racked up about 40K stardust in a little over an hour. I dropped two star pieces, and just grinded Luvdiscs continuously, ignoring all other mons. Exceptions were a wild Chansey (only the third I've ever seen, the other two being during last year's Valentine's event), a Lapras, and a high-IV L33 Growlithe.

Tomorrow night, I will spend even more time continually grinding Luvdiscs with star pieces. This is an opportunity that cannot be squandered.

This is exactly what I will do. Luvdisc is not particularly hard to catch and every catch will get you 450 dust. Fast and easy way to rack up 40k dust in an hour or so. Isn't it? I do wish this event lasts for a week or even10 days.

I enjoy any event that offers stardust bonuses. Don't see what all the whining is about. Maybe those complaining on here have all of their favorite Mons and 100%ers maxed out and have millions of dust saved for future gen releases? Who knows.
8K in dust with a star piece is a little low. I just did a half hour grind and got 18K. Less than half of what I caught were Luvdisc. To be fair I was at a cluster spawn point in my city.
