I did it!
I completed 2 days ago. That bagon raid was the hardest because I refused to use a remote pass.
Boff! Best Buddies !
That was a reeeeaaaallll hard slog, suffice it to say I shan’t be rushing to get the platinum…
Here’s the fellow that became my hundredth best-budster
Somebody already hit level 50!
I don’t see getting there myself before 2024.
Yeah, this one is pretty easy, no need to find task (Plusle and Minun) and raid (Bagon), or do incense day to get them
A bit of story time; here’s what i’m currently up to in the game:
So i’m one of the few that is going for level 50 as fast as possible.
In my city there are only 4 people who had enough total XP at the release of 50, and 2 more now have enough XP. So with only 5 possible contenders (2 of those aren’t even trying) and no official race i still want to be the first level 50 here, just because i can.
Right now i’m at least 2 weeks ahead of any possible competition at level 47, waiting for the adventure sync to tick over 2 more times.
Then i need to do trades for lucky pokemon, 500 gifts and get 35 medals, where i’m at 31 medals right now.
The trades and gifts will take at least 5 days (with the 100 gift limit per day) and most likely even more, so that means that i have at least 16 days before i can get 49 and need my 35 medals. At least 16 days thus, most likely more.
So medals… last night i fixed myself a Heracross trade, so i can get gen 2 dex at 100% and the medal. Leaves me 3 more to go. 1 of those is 2500 trades done, since i don’t trade that often. Easy as i need to get 50 lucky pokemon for that level and only need like 250 more trades. 2 down, 2 to go.
No real other options remain though.
I still need the dragon medal with 60 dragons to go… no dragons are spawning so that’s a no go.
I still need 37 photobombs… but that takes me at least 32 days (with CD giving me 5), that’s way too long.
Pvp medals? I got 2 at silver, barely… i need a total of 450 great league wins, and over 700 ultra for those medals… 16 days… that’s just over 70 per day. and not just games, it must be wins. Luckily I don’t play PoGo alone, my girlfriend does aswell. So every day, for like an hour per day I just have to pvp, with our 2 phones, my team vs a 10cp team and just keep going. Not fun at all, but if I want to be “server” first lvel 50, I’ll have to. And I will.
Being ahead of the rest gave me issues with doing 50 rockets leaders very fast and powering up 3 pokemon with almost no candy. A bit of pvp is then an easier task i guess.
And for the last levelup, i’m already stacking many sudowoodo and Miltank in my queststack for easier excellent throws, the rest is pretty easy…
With 2 weeks ahead of my competition i think it should be possible to reach level 50 before the first one even gets to 48… yeah, that should be doable
Yeah, so that’s gonna be my gameplay for the time being
I got 75 million XP to go before Level 50. So I’m still saying 2024.
A question, the list of leveling up says to get level 48 you need to max out three Pokémon.
Do you have to do this in that moment or it´s enough to have three level 50 Pokémon in your storage?
I know, I’m still far away of this point, but I would like to know if I have to store XL candies, or if I can max out whenever I have enough candies.
