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!
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!
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!
I’ll keep that in mind, I was unsure about the value on the attack, but they are cascading towards the hp, so I shouldn’t have doubted. I’ve indeed already blessed my perfect archen!
I caught a wonderful magnemite and immediately evolved it into this one. I’m very close to having enough berries to evolve it into a Magnezone, which will come very handy to me, as I’m short on electric pokemon. I also got another particularly good one, but that will have to wait on the evolutions.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to complete the rest of the timed research, as the heavy rain where I’m at means I won’t be spinning pokestops. Maybe, if there’s a bit of a break or a cool down, I’ll manage 5, but that’s it. So, no magnetic lure module for me, no immediate magnezone…
So I’ve been unable to play for the past months because my phone stopped working and my back up one was too old, but yesterday I returned to the game and managed to get this cuteness. It’s the only christmas themed pokemon I could get, considering I had to miss most past events, but at least I got a couple of them to evolve it!
Yeah, something like that happened to me some time ago, and it’s amazing to see what we have lost in the gap.
But some of these things happily appear in a moment you don’t think it could happen.
That’s true! I was really disappointed I missed the 2nd part of halloween (goodbye spiritbomb, fortunately it wasn’t a new register, but still) and at first I thought I’d be able to catch all the community day specials, but it didn’t happen. I’ve been lurking here in the shadows sometimes, but now I’m looking forward to new suprises in the game.
Imagine, years ago there was an Armored Mewtwo, and only in one of my accounts I could catch. All the others have lost the chance. And today? No way to get it again…
And that’s such a cool pokemon to have in a collection, too. One of my friends has it as a buddy and when I saw it I was like “how did this happen?!”. It’s awesome.
