In all likelyhood you've already been flooded by tips for the upcoming three hour larvitar bonanza.
So here's another one. Or rather two.
I hope you've taken note of the word 'community'. Do get them chat channels ready if you haven't already done so. Reporting high IV catches vastly increases the chance you get one yourself.
And for the second one.
With lure clusters lit up like a christmas tree you're likely to run into three minute spawns en masse. It really, really really helps if you make it clear that you caught that marvelous larvitar from a lure. Even a moderate distance is enough to make it more or less impossible to get there in time. Not only won't there be anything to catch -- people running to the spot will be confused and keep looking for something that's no longer present instead of collecting much needed larvitar candy.
Well, that's it for community day from me.

When to design it wrong
A very short strategy note here.
Common sense dictates that you place blissey as the first defender in a gym. There is, however one corner case scenario when you might want to reconsider.
To begin with, this is only done withi context of a gym raiding community.
If you have reason to believe fellow team members will get physically close to an attacked gym in some five to fifteen minutes, and when you believe this to be true for long periods of time, then start with absolute crap in the gym.
Preferably hard hitting crap, but basically anything could go in first.
Now why would we want to do this?
1) Gyms lock for ten minutes after the first defender is kicked out. Nornally that means the blissey is kicked out. By placing shite in the gym first those ten minutes start to count down with the best defender still available for receiving berries.
2) If you're lucky you'll receive push notifications that the gym is under attack before the defending pokemon are already ousted. In such an occasion the first defender basically acts as an early warning system.
Lastly, this is very much a corner case scenario. After all it requires someone to act as a sacificial lamb, but it's hugely fun when you pull it off.
