February 28, 2020. One day after Pokemon Day. I did it. I really, honestly did it. I just finished my playthrough of Pokemon Sword and caught my own Zacian. My Living Dex is now officially complete. 890 Pokemon registered. I’m so exhausted because I did little else besides playing Pokemon Sword and homework this week. Have any other crazy people out there finished their Living Dex and been able to redeem their Magearna? Mine isn’t working, as expected. I really want that thing to put the icing on this cake.
I suck so much at double battles, I don’t think I’ll win a single fight of the tournament, but I need that Pokeball Guy shirt.
I won 2 of 6. I didn’t have a purpose built team though. Probably won’t do any more. You get the shirt for entering anyway.
I never shared my thoughts about Zarude but I have quite a few of them! This is quite honestly of my favorite Mythicals ever because of its simplistic design and color scheme. Compared to the liked of Volcanion and Zeraora, Zarude looks much more like an organic creature so it’s a nice change of pace. I personally think this qualifies as “mythical” because it’s literally a myth, much like Bigfoot or other cryptids. Also, Dark/Grass is great because it’s the first time we’ve had a Mythical of either of those types since Darkrai and Shaymin. I’m still trying to figure out if that’s a coincidence or not since Sinnoh remakes are probably coming next year…
Once people got the start down (for the most part) the Mewtwo Raids are pretty fun.
I’ve done three and the one I just lost was my closest yet.
I think the challenge is cool, but I think he’s a bit overtuned.
Regular move > Buff > Gmax > Regular move seems to be his pattern.
Ok…. just got into a Gmax Shiny Pikachu raid, wtf.
Oh my god with these kids starting the Mewtwo raid with only 2 people and them using their damn Marshadow….
