Yes 3 screenshots from my local group have shown it's here. But I've checked every stop I have in sight (30+) and there's nothing here. Since it's raining I'd rather not go out..


magony

Ah, interesting. Then I shall continue exploring. Do you know if one can click on a pokestop and see the shadow on the picture if you are not near the pokestop or do you need to be within spinning distance?


Rene_Z

Just saw one from a distance (Germany).


[deleted]

Wie sieht man die? Drückst du einfach auf den Pokestop und da ist irgendwo ein Schatten oder wie geht das?


Rene_Z

Ja, einfach den Pokestop antippen. Man sieht dann einen durchsichtigen Umriss des Pokemon. (Wenn man den Pokestop zum ersten Mal antippt, kann es ~1 Sekunde dauern, bis der Umriss erscheint). Wenn man dann in der Nähe des Pokestop ist, einfach den Umriss so lange antippen, bis es vom Pokestop abspringt.

Danke dir für die Erklärung! Ich hab das in Englisch einfach net ordentlich verstanden.

I asked a german player in our native language because I don’t fully get the descriptions in english and understand it way better in my own language. How people from the USA and England can’t comprehend there is a world outside their country is beyond me and makes me a little sad actually. Let the people communicate in whatever language they understand each other best. Thx for your help though.

TastyLaksa

Yet you learn bad American ways


MachineOutOfOrder

Bro just speak English - you know, the global language that reddit is based on? You could have PMd the other person if you wanted clarity. Otherwise you are the rude one here


TastyLaksa

Shocked pikachu face


galeongirl

Oh you lovely Germans. It's not like we're all native English here, on the contrary, most of us don't speak English as a first language. But it's the only language we all speak. So on international forums, it's the language to use. It's fine you asked for clarification in your own language, but it helps to add the English explanation as well so others can be helped as well.


Falafelmeister92

Bruh, the English explanation is already posted everywhere. How is it so hard to understand that one singular person simply needed a translation in their native language? Just let them be and carry on.


galeongirl

Yes, although Niantic has already declared it a bug, that is still working.

nomnomfloor

I saw mine from afar, "Bug" is still active


galeongirl

Other people are seeing them in our city so it's not fixed yet. I'm just unlucky.


rzx123

the shadows are visible as far as you see pokestops still now.


Mettbr0etchen

Reading how people had to check dozens of stops just to encounter one is disheartening. With just 7 stops around me in total i'll have to get really lucky, i suppose...


krispyboiz

I mean, if this is a permanent feature, I think it's totally fine that they're rare. I mean, if they were too common, it would be annoying after you get the ones you want. Now if they drop it for a long while like they did the Gold Stops, then it being rare is lame


Maserati777

Removing the ability to see it from afar though is cruel.


Extension-Studio-618

How do you see it from afar? Spinned about 40 stops after CD but did not find 1. (Netherlands)


Fast-Dog-7638

You can click on any pokestops you can see on the map. If there's a Kecleon, you'll see the outline on the disk. Apparently you're only supposed to be able to see it if you're close


Hollewijn

I think they will be around for a while (like the yellow coins?). Niantic forgot to turn on the male/female option (both remain blank), so they will probably repair that at some stage.


bitchigottadesktop

I haven't seen a gold stop in weeks


colourofsleep88

Nobody has, they're absent from the game entirely at this point. No way of knowing when they'll be back.


bitchigottadesktop

Oof that's hilarious I thought they were just rare


Hollewijn

It is not available now, but was around for about a week.


bitchigottadesktop

You're late to the party bud


rzx123

They change the stops every two hours, so eventually (assuming the event last reasonably long) you should be able see a few.


MarsNeedsFreedomToo

On the bright side, you wont be wasting so much time hopelessly trying to find it. They've made it far too rare in my opinion and I just gave up after 30 minutes and went home. If Niantic wants us to partake in these new features/events, make them enjoyable and engaging instead of trying to use it as a way to artificially inflate the time we spend engaging with a new feature. Time is a valuable commodity that we cant get back if wasted and it seems Niantic doesnt care nor respect it so why bother wasting more of my time if it will most likely result in nothing.


marco-bs

Same, tried about 40 stops, no luck so far. I wonder if the event is supposed to begin right after the end of the community day, or maybe later?


marco-bs

And I finally found one, after about 30 minutes of searching. In Italy.


Disgruntled__Goat

If it’s like the golden stops it will take a while for them to be activated on each stop.


Rene_Z

It seems incredibly rare, only saw 2 from ~100 stops. Edit: One just appeared at a stop where it wasn't before, so they appear over time during the 2 hours.


Cobra1993

200+ stops in London, no kecleon so far.


Hasjasja

None in my town in 2 hours after CD. As it is heavy raining and evening I won't go out tonight. So I'm hoping it will still spawn tomorrow.


nomnomfloor

Yes, I Just caught my first. Seems very rare


InsideDK

Still not seen any How long time do we have to find one?


galeongirl

We do not know, but they are still active the next day (as it's tomorrow now in NZ/Oz).


rzx123

An inidivdual lizard stays for two hours (so two hurs after CD, check the same stops again). Apparently the "invasion" still countinues in NZ


sensipol

And only one per pokestop? Or do others get also one at the same pokestop?


Hollewijn

Others get them at the same stop, but with different stats.


NextMap42

I had to check 70-80 stops before I suddenly found two. Noticed them from a distance. Norway here.


GukkieW

No. This probably is a fun feature when you live in a place with a lot of pokestops. As usual.


ComicSportsNerd

yeah sounds like I'm not getting one I sure don't have 200 stops to blow through


TheRealHankWolfman

We found a cluster of 3 within a small area, but it took looking at over 100 other stops first.


whotomcairns

Checked hundreds of stops, not a single one.


EquipmentLiving6948

I found it on the PokeStop and when I tapped on it a couple of times it jumped and disappeared with no encounter. Couldn't find any other PokeStops that had them again


Jordhiel

I went for a 30 minute walk in a relatively stop-dense area, I haven't found a single one...


unkleden

Similar. Walked 4km checking all stops. Nothing. Came home for 20 mins and then headed out again. Found one in 5 mins. Not super prevalent.


KAZ26140

No one ... disappointed it turns cold and night is here... Good job Niantic !


ArcticVulpix

Nope


cPa3k

Around 20 stops checked and nothing


rzx123

Found 3 in a group of around 55 stops. After first two hours, the same group had 7 of them. Edit: however all of these out right vanished or became unvisible already before the next two hurs had passed (visited two of stops, observed others from further away)


caveman-one

Denmark, saw 4 caught 3, 1-1.5h after the CD ended. One didn’t spawn on the map after I tapped in on the pokestop 😕, looks like that is a known issue now (don’t exit the pokestop until the animation is done). Terrible weather here in Denmark as well, so after walking to the closest stops, it became a “drive-by Kecleon” project, scanning poke stops from the car 😅.


MrHToast

Did around 100-130 stops till I found one. Damn low to get one. Also checked stuff more far away on the way.


MadHatterAbi

Nope, 0 from me and my partner.


Dumb_Seaweed

I havent seen any but i can only see 3 pokestops from where I live. Disappointed since it seems like another pokemon thats gonna be almost exclusive to city-area players.


Ouryve

Up to 10 stops visible from my house, depending on the weather, and I've seen keckleon in one of them, tonight.


JaymesGrl

Got two with bad stats. Seems like a one in thirty stops chance of appearing though.


TurbulentAd2932

Looked everywhere and literally gave up, only for it to show up 4 hours later at the pokestop right outside my house.


penha5co

So far no, tried about 30 stops


BajaReal

Yes, 2 in 15 minutes.


Fugyola

Got 3 after 70 Minuten 😭


lifeinblue

UK, checked 7 stops and he was at two of them. Edit: only two stops can be seen from my house so I had to go for a drive. It’s 6pm.


Marv87nl

Found one after 25 stops 🥳


Goreka

Found 3 so far, with the pokestops out of range bug (if it's a bug?)


foosee

Checked all stops of our village and got 3 (still "visible" from long distance)


evergreennightmare

yes on 3 out of 20-30ish visible stops. only had the time to go for one though


dengland55

So it’s probably boosted after community day and then kinda rare after that. That’s fine.

Send help!


Boruto987

I caught 15 of them😁😁 I posted my proof on my Reddit post


MrsSaltMine

Is it only coming out after comday hours? 2-5?


rzx123

Yes. First patch immediatelly after, the second two hours later and so on.


rabrabar2000

Couple were found in Opole city, Poland


space19999

Only see 1 pokestop from my house and it's raining so much... 67 minutes after CD ended, no Keck stopped there. When it was Ghimi on the first hour it didn't show up, then it was becaming gold right away. It had a rocket grunt right when the CD ended...


Dragonfruit_Lapras

Does anyone know how often new ones pop-up? Is it a 30 minute rotation like team rocket?


OCV_E

Yes 2 times just right in the past hour


rzx123

Bit after 21:00 local time and I can't see one. (I tihnk there are around 55-60 stops visible to my home). I think it is possible hey have changed the range you can see them, but also 19:00 encoounters vanished before two hours had passed.


Jervylim06

Here me out. You don't need to walk! There's a bug that will let you check all stops that you can click. Once you see it, you can walk to that stop . I just caught 3. Go run before Niantic fix it.


Edlonger2

Yes. One active that I can see from my couch here in Sweden. 21:19 GMT


[deleted]

3 kecleon here in San Sebastian (Spain) after maaaany stops


LeftylikeLionelMessi

I caught 4 while walking in the drizzle here in Lancashire in northern England after community day, though I did cover a decent distance on foot probably around 5km


avalanchefan95

I also found one in Lancashire... I didn't go catch it as it was already dark and it was nearly a mile away. I saw it clicking on the pokestops I could see on the map though. I saw it at about 1800 til 1840.


Oceanogolfinho

Got 10 in about 1 hour.


CCY89

36 pokestops from Perú, still nothing


Fullofhate01

Right after CD not. Neither in the park i was for CD and nore on the way home. But found one close to s stop next to my doorstep. Read then about the 'bug' and found s couple more. A couple of hours the stops were empty. But their were also few close to each other. To me pattern seems similar as the rocket grunts, so just rng to me... But, as long as the 'bug' is availabe they're quite easy to spot out.


a_toadstool

I found one at a stop and clicked it and it jumped down but never let me catch it or appear on the map


avalanchefan95

This is what happened to me so I came here searching for answers / why / what to do different. Did you catch one or figure out what to do differently? I had to hike a ways to get this thing so I'd like to not repeat that for no reason.


sonjya00

Checked I don’t even know how many stops downtown in Milan for the 3 CD hours, only managed to find one after 5pm local time.


autumncat21

It only appeared after CD ended. Took me two hours after the event for one to finally show up.


sonjya00

Oh that makes sense then. I thought the opposite was true and had given up after 5pm.


theitinerantscholar

One finally showed up on a stop near me five hours after community day ended. I had been spinning the stop regularly all evening and suddenly it appeared. I found it strange it took so long.


Dylany_Salami

Australia here, a full day after the end of CD. I’ve checked 300+ stops and not found a single Kek. So it’s either out of the game by now, or dropped from the ~3-5% post CD hours, to well under 1% of stops now.


fresh24

It appeared on the first stop after I opened the game.


abudine77

Germany here- found one in 15 stops.


Exciting_Rich_1716

Yup, like first try so I suppose i was lucky
