Trainer’s Log: Entry 128

And this month’s Community Day is also a success, even with the Water Festival spawns watering down the Larvitar spawns–managed to get an almost perfect-IV shiny Larvitar who I evolved all the way to Tyranitar to go with the shiny Shellder–now Cloyster– that I found yesterday, out of absolutely nowhere!

So, yes, this year’s Water Festival is definitely more successful than last year’s.  Not only am I rolling in Totodile candy (managed to get 100 candy today–I only caught 2 last year, both on the last day), but I also finally got a shiny Magikarp!  One evolution and many powerups later, I’ve got a shiny Gyarados that I can show off in a gym (with a fitting name to boot)!

Update: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?

…OKAY THEN

Water Festival 2018 has begun and on Day #1 I have a crocodillian friend invading my apartment.

…Why couldn’t this have happened during Water Festival 2017 when I only got my first Totodile on the last day, after walking 68 miles over the course of the entire event…?

Ah well.

Played Pokémon Go yesterday at the local arts festival and got a genuine Helix ammonite fossil, and, of course, I had to get that AR pic.  And I also finally finished the mission checklist and got Mew!

Today’s Community Day was also a great success, on more than one front!  I got my shiny black dragon (he’s got great IVs, but was only half CP when I got him, a lot of candy was spent getting him into fighting shape, but, worth it…), I got my first Ho-Oh and Absol (Ho-Oh I missed out on the first time as I was out of the country with no data during the first go-round, and, for Absol, I was never in the right place at the right time for until today), and hatched a Chimeco!

Found a shiny friend last week, was too busy to post about her until now–this is the second non-Community Day shiny I’ve gotten (last one was Sableye last Halloween).  She’s got second-tier stats, and I had to power her up, but she lasted more than a day at a gym!

And today, I managed to get in on a Latias raid and managed to catch her, as well!

This Earth Day/Earth Week event has been good for filling up some of the holes in my dex–and so I cracked open a Lucky Egg and did just that.  These are just some of the new ‘mons I have.

No shinies, but, ah well…
