Pokémon GO Progress #14: Level 70!

Level 70 arrived in Pokémon GO. Now the task will be to get up to Level 80!

I recently exceeded 500 Shinies in my Shiny Species living Pokédex.

I also have only 9 evolutionary lines (applin, snom, indeedee, duraladon, grafaiai, toedscool, wugtrio, dondozo and tatsugiri) to reach 100 or more candies in.

I also recently got my third shundo: Deoxys Speed forme.

Pokémon GO Progress #13: Over 250 Million XP!


I now have over 250 million XP!

As of writing, I also have 491 in a shiny species living dex. I have more than 50 additional unique forms shiny as well, not counting Costumes, Shadow, Purified etc.

My missing 3* Counts are:

Kanto: 3 forms (galarian birds). I hyper trained my Mew so it was finally at least 3*

Johto: 9 forms (Unown forms)

Hoenn: 5 forms including 1 Species (Kecleon)

Sinnoh: 28 forms including 4 species

Unova: 3 forms (both Keldeo and the unimplemented Meloetta-P)

Kalos: 18 forms (including Hawlucha and all Zygarde formes)

Alola: 28 forms (including 11 species)

Galar&Hisui: 107+ forms (including 36 species)

Paldea: 81+ forms (incuding 70 species)

I have over 900 species in the game now.

Pokémon GO Progress #12: Level 50!

Finally, I made it to 999 excellent throws! I now share the same trainer level as the most elite of the Pokémon GO player-base. I’ve now got 8 special research on the GO, so I want to focus on completing some of them, including the Level 50 challenge. I’m generally keeping up with collecting in the overall Pokédex.

Other than that, I’m focusing on best buddying Level 50 Gyarados and Tapu Koko Hundos, and also a second lot of Groudon and Yveltal Hundos that are on their way to Level 50. I’m also getting a female mega venusaur to mega level 3.

So there probably won’t be too many GO landmarks from now on, but I’ll try to remember to share some dex-related ones as they gradually happen.

Pokémon GO Progress #11: Level 49

Trainer Level 49!


Today, I finally leveled up to level 49. Just a couple of days ago I had 30 lucky trades to go, but miraculously I managed to climb all the way up to 50 lucky trades during this boosted event.

It looks like level 50 won’t take too long. Only about 5 million XP and many excellent throws to go.

My missing 3* species counts are:

Kanto – 1 | Johto – 0 | Hoenn – 1 | Sinnoh – 5 | Unova – 4 | Kalos – 9 | Alola – 22

For forms, it’s:

Kanto – 7 | Johto – 13 | Hoenn – 20 | Sinnoh – 30 | Unova – 13 | Kalos & Alola – TBD

I have nearly 100 lucky Pokémon now.

Next goal: Level 50!

Pokémon GO Progress #10: Level 48

After over a year, I finally got around to completing the walking tasks required for level 48!

My missing 3* species counts are:

Kanto – 1 | Johto – 0 | Hoenn – 1 | Sinnoh – 7 | Unova – 6 | Kalos – 10 | Alola – 24

For forms, with Paldea (and Spinda forms) added its:

Kanto – 7 | Johto – 19 | Hoenn – 20 | Sinnoh – 32 | Unova – 16 | Kalos & Alola – TBD

I recently reached the milestone of 300 shiny pokemon in my living dex.

Pokémon Go Progress #9: Level 47!

After raiding lots for the legendaries birds, I’ve finally reached Level 47. As predicted, I have 100+ candy for every Pokémon line that I’ve obtained. I have a total of 40 hundos now, including Shundo Kyogre.

My missing 3* counts are: Kanto: 6; Johto: 29; Hoenn: 11; Sinnoh: 42; Unova: 28; Kalos: 67. Still haven’t worked out Alola or Galar yet.

I guess I’ll use some of my spare candy for XL candy now, as well as going for 1000+ candy next in each Pokémon.

Pokémon Go Progress #8: Level 46!

After raiding lots the past week, I finally got enough XP to reach Level 46. I’ve now got 100+ candy in every Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh Pokémon. I expect by level 47, I’ll have 100+ in all Pokémon.

I have 31 hundos now, and my 3* missing counts with Hisuian forms added are: Kanto: 8; Johto: 30; Hoenn: 14; Sinnoh: 44; Unova: 31; Kalos: 67. I haven’t worked out Alola and Galar yet.

Pokémon Go Progress #7: Level 45!

After 4 long months, I finally defeated 50 GO Rocket leaders to progress me to the next level. I have nearly 4 million XP towards Level 46.

At the moment, with my spare rare candy, I’m trying to get 100+ candy in every Pokémon line. I’ve done so with all Kanto and Johto Pokémon, and am now working towards finishing off with Hoenn.

I have 24 hundos now and my missing 3* counts are now: Kanto: 6; Johto: 31; Hoenn: 18; Sinnoh: 48; Unova: 31.
