WOW, I like that very much, that is indeed a glorious collection!
This is the closest I came to a perfect one (so I evolved him into an Umbreon, I really wanted that one!) and I’ve one more that’s similar to this one that I’ve yet to choose what to do with.
To see so many and so good all like that is a collector’s delight!

Well, this one was a surprise! I don’t care for Popplio (looks a bit too clownish for me), but Primarina? Yes!!! I really want that final evolution, it just looks so great, and I only had 2 or 3 other Popplios, all very weak really, so to get this one and not even on the (soon to be) Community Day? Awesome!
I probably won’t catch a better one, all my community days lately have been kind of a bust, I just hope to get enough candy to evolve it all the way to a Primarina, which I’m very excited about!

The only thing you have to have is patience. I’mplaying this game now for eight years, and I found a lot of perfect 100% Pokémon.

I started in 2022 (I tried it when it came out but my phone just couldn’t handle it, so I quit) but then stopped, on and off in 2023 but now I’m more heavily into it. I’m not into raids or battles (apart from grunts or if there’s a special prize I want to get in Battle league), but I like collecting pokemon - completing as much of the pokedex as possible - and having my set of favourites (as great as they can be). The game acts basically as my walking motivator, so the hatching part is a big thing for me, too.
But yeah, patience is definitely key here! I’m really enjoying seeing everyone’s findings, special pokemon, etc. it’s good to see what’s out there! I tend to see pretty much the same creatures in my area, with some surprises now and then, so I’m paying more attention to community days/spotlight hours…
Maybe it could be interesting for you to take a look at this tables, specially the table 48.

Yes, it’s a Ditto! FINALLY I found one last night! I still have a research task from 2022, when I started playing the game, that asks for 3 dittos, but as I stopped playing until 2023 (on and off) I never got to complete it.
I’d been trying for the last months to find one, catching pokemon it usually disguises itself as (I looked this up online), used incenses… nothing!
Last night I saw an Oddish and, at first, I wasn’t going to pick it, but then remembered I needed more berries to get to a Vileplume, so might as well… Suddenly it started turning pink/red and in confusion I was like “is this the dynamax thing? I thought it didn’t work like this…” only for it to be a Ditto! It’s been so long I didn’t remember it anymore.
It’s like the 3rd time I almost don’t catch a pokemon only for it to turn into something great/needed. There’s a lesson here!
Hopefully I won’t wait for too many months for the other 2?!
Update: I caught another one last night, this time disguised as a Koffing… Maybe they’ve increased the spawn or something…

I hatched this one today for the first time (2km egg), I thought I’d never get to see it!
I also finished the research task “It’s about Time and Space” and after battling Giovanni I caught this colourful giant:
This increases my legendaries to 4 (Zygarde, Cosmog, Cosmoem and now Regigigas). However, from the talk I got in the end, it was like I was supposed to have caught Dialga or Palkia?
I’m only finishing this research task now and can’t remember much about it, but from what I can see I must have chosen Palkia route, because I completed a task and caught (beautiful) Mismagius recently.
I looked up the guide and the 2nd phase of the research task says “catch Palkia”, which I mustn’t have got to in time, when the event was active, because I don’t have it now.
I looked up online and that was replaced with “Catch a Legendary Pokemon” (instead of Palkia), and it must have progressed after I got one of the Cosmog…
Oh well, that’s a bit disappointing but I wasn’t playing as consistently as I am now, so it slipped. And since I hardly ever do a task from beginning to end, it kind of gets mixed with everything else!

Happy with todays haul used for Candy building and later XL Trading. Hopefully I can get that third 100% Trading the Dreepy from the other family accts.

well, it seems your inventory is dreeping with the good stuff!
I’ve caught two so far, but nothing over 1 star. It’s still worth the pokedex entry, of course, but I’m aiming for better luck in egg hatches - same with grookey, I need to evolve one by tomorrow but the ones I’ve encountered are all below 2 stars, I hate spending berries at “random” just to complete sth!)
I can’t believe I finally have a fantastic Gardevoir! I got it after completing a research task and it was quite the jump when I checked the stars, as all the ralts around my area (even though they are very uncommon) are below average. I managed to evolve 2 good ones (nothing above 2 stars…) among the scarcity of quality because I was hoping to at least get a decent Gardevoir (found one in the wild but no stars) and now this! Amazing!

Now, this is a much better Cresselia! For some reason, I thought I’d only be fighting Giovanni very rarely… 
(I must also say I had a much harder time fighting him now, with the need of 2 very good fighters as Kangashkan was the second one. I had to use more strategy, as Machamp is my best boy but I really needed an extra strong one, so I had to find a way around that! Last time went very well, but it was a better combo for me anyway. Something to look into as soon as possible!)
.
I caught my best growlithe to date, that I immediately evolved (I always have plenty of candy, as they’re everywhere around here). I adore this pokemon, especially the evolution and although my Hisuian Arcanine are pretty great (not perfect…), I was lacking a bit on the Gen 1 variety… until now!

My goal for machop’s spotlight hour was to find at least a very good one, so I could have another machamp I could use regularly. I already had the last machamp in the pic and managed to catch 2 machop that were really good and that I evolved after the event (they are the first two).
So I now have 3 great machamps and, besides being a pokemon I find very cool, I was really in need of another very good fighter in my team!
This is the best one, but the others are pretty good, too (except 894, who I found in the wild some time ago):
There’s another machop I caught that’s also pretty good, but I’ll keep it like that as it’s quite a big boy and I may need it for showcases…
The only thing I wish I had done better was using more pinap berries, I was very short on them, but sometimes I’d just forget to, as well -.- (I was short on pokeballs in general, so I had to manage differently) and now the leveling up process is going to take some time. But whatever, that’s fine!

and some stardust, too… 
Fortunately it is a pokemon I see often in the wild, around here, so nothing major to worry about.
Wait, people are giving out stardust? 
I’m going to purify it and I think it will get pretty close to perfect, but not quite (attack), right?
Anyway, I’m super glad as the majority I capture from grunts are very weak and I like my birds to be as good as possible (flying type is one of my favourites). I don’t have enough candy to evolve it just yet, but this will be my archeops definitely!

That Archen will become perfect if purified.

well then! I was going to wait until I had a task to purify a shadow pokemon, as I thought it would be one value short… I was very lucky then!

Every value increases by 2 when you drown in Holly Water.
