Put my adventure on hold until I find a dreepy; no such luck so far.
Oh btw I love the gym challenge ceremony! It was the first time that I got excited for to face the gyms.Wish it could last longer and listen to the gyms about theirs thoughts and share a moments with the other gym challengers…. I dont how the elite 4 looks like but I would be could to have a tournament with the challegenders that got the 8 gym badges
It just wont stop snowing at the lake of outrage… I’ve been checking back every hour forever now. When I find you dreepy, I’ll be making some eggs so no one else has to go through this!
You’re doing Arceus’s work son!
Hmm. Well I just found out how to manipulate the weather in the Wild Area.

On route 2 before reaching the professors house. Stopped playing for a while cause I’m sick and needed to rest. I can’t post pictures cause it says the size is too big or something but I took my beanie off, have the white and navy stripped shirt with navy jeans and white loafers and the white and grey bag.
Tomorrow starts Aurora’s Sword Galar adventure.
Just got a Yamper (Barnaby) and a Zigzagoon (Diggory)
If you do Switch screenshots you could make a twitter just to upload pictures to. It’s max 4 at a time. Or you can get a micro SD card reader but that’s money.
Oh and feel better.

I’ve shoved a bunch of exp candies on her and boxed her, but she might be part of the team later! I just can’t seem to click with a sixth teammate…
Funnily enough, my friend who only just got badge #1 joined the raid and now she has a Dreepy too! Neither of us expected to catch it, so it’s a ton of luck.
Look at these pokemon!
Arent they neat?
Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?
Wouldn’t you think I’m the trainer
The trainer who has everything?
Look at this team!
Rarity untold!
How many wonders can one PC hold?
Lookin’ around here you’d think
Wow, she’s found everything!
I’ve got Golurk and Grimmsnarl aplenty
I’ve got Weezing and Pangoro galore
You want Larvitar?
I got twenty.
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I want to be where the Pseudos are
I want to see
want to see ’em captured!
Floatin’ around because its part…
Whad’ya call ’em? oh – ghost!
Random encounters don’t get you too far
Specific weather’s required for finding, capturing, no such luck in…
(What’s that word again?) Raids.
This is no Fun!
I cant find None!
From how many encounters must I Run?
Captured by me
Wish I could find…
Just one Dreepy!

Has anyone done a Pokéball explosion video yet?
So how can I tell if my pokemon have an egg? I put Ditto and Drakloak in the daycare so I can trade y’all some eggs.
Can someone tell me how to get the water bike? I learnt Dreepy can be found in Lake Outrage in the wild area
After how many battles does linoone evolve?!?
Alrighty, I’ve got 5 baby Dreepy for whoever wants one and will take care of it!
