Trainer’s Log: Entry 131

So… things happened.  Yesterday, I got Summer!Raichu, and finally added Salamence and the last Alola ‘mon I needed, Sandshrew/Sandslash, to the ‘dex.  And after like 9 raids yesterday, finally got a shiny Articuno–my first shiny legendary ever.

And today, Community Day was a success–I got two shiny sunglasses Squirtles, one of which (the one I evolved) was found literally at a Pokéstop that is a turtle sculpture–and since sunglasses shinies were shiny for everyone, pretty much everyone stopped to take an AR pic of it because the irony was too good.  And since he’s literally wearing the same kind of shades that Robert wore as Stockwell (which were 99.9% his personal shades, since I’ve seen pics of him wear those elsewhere), I named him Stockwell (to go with the Shiny Venusaur I named after Ivan Trigorin).

I got 13 shiny turtles overall–the two sunglasses ones, and 11 normal.  Unfortunately, aside from one of the 11 that was only 10 CP, the other 10 have horrible stats.  Still, I suppose they’ll be good trade fodder for those who missed today…

Also, behold my completely un-original Blastoise naming scheme–
