Was just doing some grinding in Lush Jungle, I always SOS chain Passimian or Oranguru because the Trumbeak give off the most experience in there and it’s the easiest to grind. Boom, Shiny Trumbeak 😭 that’s number 9 for me doing this. To say I’m gonna have a full box in the future is looking more and more likely 😭

Forgot about Tentacool Spotlight Hour (at least the first half) and tried to find a shiny at my aunt's park but had no luck.

Normal SOS luck returns. Got an Eevee in 297 calls, a Shiny Cubone in 454 calls and yesterday I spent 8 hours on a Paras and finally got it at 632 calls.
Going for Pancham/Pangoro right now, at just over 100 so hopefully get it soon!

That's dedication. Hopefully you are multi-tasking because 8 hours on Paras sounds rough.
The latest Pokemon update for me is that I got my second shiny Caterpie yesterday. It really sucks so hopefully I can trade it to my step-aunt or my brother and it will be better for them.

Not exactly multi tasking but it passed the time so I guess that works. I'm doing Pancham/Pangoro right now and I've been doing it since Wednesday but I've only spent a few hours at it the past few days. Put it down tonight at 501 so I'll continue it tomorrow while listening to the football on the radio.

Got out of bed for an hour and continued my Pancham hunt. Was sure I’d get a Pangoro which I don’t need for my living dex as I’ve got two already. I was sure I was getting a third just by how infrequent the Panchams were, but I got lucky and got the Pancham at 524 encounters. I can now play through some of the story tomorrow and then I’m going for ditto.

Nice. And yeah at least having something on in the background should help make the grind better.

Believe it or not, I actually find SOS hunting and soft resets to be relaxing, because you get into a routine with it it doesn’t end up being a pain. Yeah I get burnt out at times but you just put it down and go do something else for a day or two and then go back to it.

So I totally forgot about Porygon Community Day yesterday... Caught the last hour and had no luck.. Thank the Lord that my step-aunt got 6 of them in an hour so I will get one of hers. On the way to my grandma I ended up getting a shiny Roggenrola so that was the universe's way of apologizing. I'll take it too since it is much rarer to get a random shiny like that then a CD shiny since the odds are so boosted. My brother bought me Pokemon Let's Go Eevee so I really need to start playing that today. I want to use three Alolan Pokemon I trade over from Pokemon Go (Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Grimer, and either Alolan Diglett or Alolan Geodude) but it sucks that I have to wait til Fuchsia City to get them apparently.

I got 9 Porygon, so that was good. Then got a shiny Minccino during my lunch break at work, my first standard shiny find in two and a half weeks. Definitely happy about that, now I have Minccino and Cinccino as shiny.

Played some story on Ultra Sun and then started hunting Ditto last night. Got it in 91 SOS calls. Been doing Island Scan for Squirtle today but no luck so far. Got 3 hours left until my DS clock ticks over to the next day so fingers crossed I get it or I’m gonna have to wait and continue it next Monday.

I'm pretty sure I got 3 shiny Minccino when they released them last year. That was a pretty awesome day since I didn't expect to get so lucky.

Damn, did 1150 Island Scan encounters yesterday and never got the Shiny Squirtle. Oh well, will continue the hunt next Monday.

So I started Let's Go Eevee and so far am in Viridian Forest.
My team so far is:
Bold Eevee Timid Pikachu Timid Bellsprout Careful Nidoran male Careful Spearow
And the sixth spot is a random Caterpie I just caught. I tried to catch a 1% Beedrill but Pokemon that move around are so hard to catch. I HATE the Pokemon Go system of catching on this game... The Switch not being touch screen totally kills that. Hopefully I get used to it otherwise I might tap out..

Scored a shiny Drifloon tonight at work. Stoked about that one, really cool looking shiny.

Bold Eevee Timid Pikachu Timid Bellsprout Mild Butterfree Hasty Geodude Gentle Clefable
I got to Cerulean City. My team changed quite a bit. I think so far the only people I will keep are Eevee, Pikachu, Bellsprout, and maybe Clefable. I caught it in Mt. Moon but sadly it has a horrible nature and now that its evolved I need to use TMs to teach it any usable moves.
I was planning on using Clefairy for a while but since I got lucky with a 1% Clefable I figured I should use it for now at least. I actually caught 2 more but stuck with the original since it was level 10 at that point (started at level 6).
My team is level 10-15 so I need to go on a catching spree to increase the lower ones up while boxing the others since I hate not having my people 0-2 levels within each other.

^ You really need a Clefairy, Clefable fully evolved at that level doesn’t learn Moonblast. I think Clefairy learns it in the early 20’s so it’s well worth it.
I played through aether paradise last night in Ultra Sun, but went back to the third island to do some shiny hunting. Got Elgyem at 536 SOS calls, a Pawniard at 91 and I was ridiculously lucky with finding a Bisharp on the second encounter in the route considering it’s the rare rare encounter. Started Trubbish as I need one to evolve. I’ll be going back to do another Pawniard and Elgyem before staring Poni island as I needed the whole line for both those.

Yeah I know it won't learn Moonblast which sucks but Dazzling Gleam will have to do.
