I haven’t played too much since last time, but I evolved the two Tyranitar, and played FireRed until I could trade—and did the 15 available trade evolutions. Next is breeding for the Charmander line. I also may start the other FireRed save file to get the Squirtle line. Then it’ll be a case of going through either save files to get the Kabuto line and all the version exclusives and both to get Suicune and Raikou.
After months and months and probably at least a couple of updates, I’ve finally caught up on completing the Math Topics on Duolingo. I’m still catching up on the Grades part.
This week I finally reached trainer level 74.
I’ve gone up to 48 hundo best buddies and working on 2 more.
I’ve got at least 100 candy in every evolutionary line and I think I have enough candy to evolve in every line apart from Snom, also.
And I have 933 3 star and up now for unique species. 17 below the current maximum.
After counting more accurately, it seems 342 is the maximum to collect in one LeafGreen save file alone. I’ve prepared all the trade evolutions except the 2 more King’s Rock I need from another save file. I just have to evolve male and female Larvitar into Tyranitar and then it’s time to start FireRed!
I went over 100 hours played this week. Hatching the 1:7 female Pokémon took ages, particularly for the last Eevee in particular, which probably took some 30+ egg hatches. Evolving for Dragonair and Dragonite is my next task and then onto filling in the LeafGreen Johto gaps.
Evolving two Rhydon was a pain! Not many Kanto Pokémon left now to get on this LeafGreen save file: both Mr. Mime and Magmar; Male Pinsir and Lapras; Female Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Omanyte, Omastar, and Aerodactyl; Male Dratini; and both Dragonair and Dragonite.
Edit: Bulbasaur line to get female too.
Recently, I achieved Level 60 in Pokémon TCG Pocket. I now have 85 emblems and 75 profile icons with B3 recently dropping. I try to aim to complete every mission and get 2 copies of every 1 ♦️, 2 ♦️, 3 ♦️ and 4 ♦️, and even 1 ⭐ where possible. I usually both copies of 1 ♦️ and 2 ♦️ midway through the month and 4 ♦️ by the end. I am currently trying to catch up with my missing 3 ♦️ cards as well as my Holofoils. These are the 50 ♦️ (all 3 ♦️) cards except Holofoils I still need second copies of from before B3:
[Triumphant Light] — Abomasnow.
[Genetic Apex] — Gengar, Machamp, Pidgeot.
[Space-Time Smackdown] — Mamoswine, Rampardos, Torterra.
[Celestial Guardians] — Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Persian, Drampa, Lycanroc (Midnight), Oranguru, Primarina, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Lele.
[Wisdom of Sea and Sky] — Ampharos, Bellossom, Cleffa, Ninetales, Octillery, Politoed, Porygon-Z, Togekiss, Tyrogue, Unown (Power).
[Mega Rising] — Beautifly, Blaziken, Chandelure, Coalossal, Cofagrigus, Delcatty, Dusknoir, Eiscue, Exploud, Golurk, Gothitelle, Grimmsnarl, Hydreigon, Jellicent, Jirachi, Klefki, Lilligant, Shiftry, Terrakion.
[Fantastical Parade] — Alolan Muk, Chandelure, Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon, Slaking, Swampert, Zapdos.
I’ve filled storage slots up until Exeggcute now that don’t require trades. I’ve also prepared Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, and Haunter to evolve. I think I should be done with what I can collect from a single LeafGreen save file in a couple of weeks. I believe there is a maximum of 350.
This is my 100th blog post!
While I’ve only just got over a box worth more of Pokémon since last week, I have done 3 of the annoying happiness-based evolutions. I’ve still got to do Chansey and the other Togetic.
The other upcoming challenges are Safari Zone Pokémon and breeding the female starter and fossil Pokèmon. My Venusaur is level 95 now, so I’m sure it’ll reach level 100 by next week.
After around ~240 throws, I finally caught Entei in a Poké Ball. I used Ariados with Quick Claw, which had a 20% of not letting Entei flee, followed by Spider Web that prevented it from fleeing directly, followed by BPing to Electrode which also prevented it from fleeing via Roar. I was able to use about 60 Poké Balls a time. So it took me around 20 encounters to finally succeed.
I’ve counted 172 Pokémon / 421 Pokémon in my Poké Ball Genderful Living Pokédex after some more breeding/evolving following that. So it’s now just a case of breeding/evolving wherever possible, including doing the in-game trades before I start my journey on FireRed. Maybe I can do a level 5 living dex on there.
