And one of the top teams is going to get disqualified today because the admin didn’t even know the rules and sprung it on them last minute, niiiice lol
played for ten minutes this morning and got shiny Ambipom and Rhydon. Up to around sixty now. I think I've had six total run from me. Combee, 2 Abra, Kriketune, Pichu, Clefairy Forunately, I already have all of those in Pokemon Home.
I have the shiny charm, which is definitely helping. I'm also just breezing by everything with Wyrdeer/Braviery with the volume on high. If I hear the jingle, I usually get out of range to make sure I actually heard it and then look around. Outbreaks have been pretty consistent too. I think I've only 100%'d a few mons to def get shinies. Did it with Shellos, then got two of them pretty quick.
my wishlist right now is cherrim, paras, qwilfish, rotom, petilil, growlithe, chatot, basculin, voltorb I think I've given up on water pokemon. I feel like I just waste 100 balls every time.
Water types aren’t too bad once you get used to catching them, I think I mostly battled them so I didn’t waste pokeballs. Really glad I caught the Overquil in the lake trio sidequest, one less annoying evolution to go through.
The toughest thing for me is how quick most of them are to run. If I see a shiny, I can be assured they are running lol
You just can’t hide in the water unless you have a ton smokescreens, it’s definitely worse compared to how perfect the catching mechanics are otherwise.
Also, it’s great to finally get a purple-themed Pokemon game, although, Scarlett will be tempting. edit: unless Ultra Moon is considered to be purple-themed.
