Finally, after over a year and a half after I started playing, I managed to get the motivation to finish perfecting the Pokédex!

With all that grinding, I also managed to master all the moves for all 4 maxed out Giratina.

I’ve got several options as to where I go next: complete the alpha living dex; complete path of solitude; max the research for another Pokémon; focus on my Shiny Dex; or collect minimum and other maximum sized Pokémon.

Path of Solitude is a tempting choice, and it would mean I increase my max living dex at the same time, which is on 32 species the last time I checked.

I’ve also made progress with alphas, with only 8 species and 11 forms left to catch; however, most of them are still in space-time distortions, so it could take a while. Perhaps I could grind moves with Palkia or Dialga while I wait for the distortions to appear.

I have over 60% of the Shiny species and over 50% of the Shiny forms now. With the perfect dex, it will now be easier to shiny hunt across the board.

I could try to hunt the larger than alpha Pokémon or investigate getting minimum sized Pokémon via HOME trading. I could also just spam catches in-game and hope I make progress that way. It would help with grit farming and hoarding more items. I currently have 35/60 items in my satchel maxed and 96/165 in boxes.

So there’s exciting routes to go down, but time will tell if I follow them.
