Quick update to say I finally got over 1 million in a mini-game. The highest scores tend to require fluke combos, and I happened to get an over 990k one, allowing me to reach the incredible milestone. I do want to get 9,999,999 one day, but I have no idea if it’s actually feasible.
3 days ago I finished beating every boss rematch in under 2 minutes, and I’ve finished uploading videos for them all today.
For Kleavor, Lilligant, Dialga and Palkia, they are also no damage runs (mainly because less damage means quicker time).
I’ve also mastered all the moves for my pseudo-alpha Giratina now.
Regarding my other progress: I have 212 (12 to go) species and 304 (19 to go) forms alpha. I also have the 10 home-exclusive alpha forms, such as regular Typhlosion. For shinies, I have 118 species and 139 forms shiny; and 4 of my shinies are exclusively alpha, while another 6 I have in alpha and non-alpha.
I’ve jumped up to 105 perfect entries, and 41 paths of solitude completed. For my maxed out count, it’s now at 26 species, 34 forms and 47 variants.
A brief progress update. I realized that the shiny Giratina I had transferred from GO a while ago was in fact the maximum size possible for Giratina in PLA, a pseudo-alpha. Once I realized that, I began thinking about how I could get a minimum size one, an omega.
I had seen information about Pokémon from previous generations being the minimum size when transferred to PLA, and once I began holding that thought, the Sinjoh Ruins event popped up in my mind. Not only did I have a chance of getting a minimum sized Giratina, but it could also be level 1!
I quickly began looking on the GTS, to see if I could get one. At first, the Pokémon they requested in exchange for a level 1 Giratina were impossible for me to get. I didn’t stop looking though, and after several hours, Zacian was requested, something I could easily obtain back. I rushed to trade and finally I had a Sinjoh Ruins Giratina in my hands. Next, I transferred into Pokémon Legends Arceus, and checked its dimensions. It was indeed a minimum sized Giratina. Remarkably, it also had only 1 move, and 0 effort levels all around. It was minimal in every respect.
Not only did I have living minimum and maximum specimens, but the other part of the Pokédex entry for Giratina was complete: perfect height and weight ranges! I also decided to buy every move for my level 100 Giratinas (one of them being the maximum one). The only thing I haven’t done yet now, is mastered the moves for all of them.
I guess the next update might be mastering all the moves for my maximum Giratina (and the other maxed out ones) now.
Following on from my 999 for Shadow Claw, I gradually 999ed the other move-related research tasks for Giratina.
Maximising Number caught was an interesting challenge though. The only way I believe it can be incremented past 1 is to receive a Giratina from a trade. Luckily, I already had another switch and an alt account, that’s in French/Metric to show off maximum and minimum sizes.
I had to buy another copy of PLA though, so I could trade Giratina back and forth. A trade takes roughly 50 seconds, so it’s over 13 hours in total to do 1000 of them. I split them into 20 periods of 40 minutes each so I didn’t get too fed up, and watched anime at the same time I was pressing the buttons.
I finally achieved the final 999 today!
As for other progress, I’ve got 211 (13 to go) alpha species and 300 (23 to go) alpha forms; 103 shiny species and 120 shiny forms; 3 of my shinies are exclusively alpha, while I have 6 others in alpha and non-alpha.
I have 64 perfect entries and have still only completed 35 paths of solitude. I now have 19 species, 27 forms (I believe the last post counted a shiny by mistake) and 33 variants (including shinies) maxed out in total.
My next post will either be completed alpha or perfect Dex.
Today I got my first 999 in a research task: Shadow Claw usage for Giratina.
I’ve now got 200 (24 to go) alpha species and 287 (36 to go) alpha forms; 78 shiny species and 89 shiny forms; 3 of my shinies are exclusively alpha, another I have in alpha and non-alpha.
62 of my entries are now perfected. I’m still on 35 paths of solitude completed. 19 of my species and 28 of my forms have a specimen maxed out.
If the lost and found record stats cap out easily, that will be my next post, else Giratina all 999ed, all alphas or perfect dex will be my next post.
Today, after 314:16 hours (pi hundred hours), I finally reached 99,999 research points. I have completed 100K’s worth of research tasks now out of 125.2K research points available, so I’m about 80% of the way through getting a perfect pokédex.
I have 190 species and 275 forms alpha; and 67 species and 75 forms shiny (legendary shinies are imported). 2 of my shinies are exclusively alpha, while another is caught both non-alpha and alpha.
54 out of 242 of my entries are perfect: all legendary/mythical. I’ve completed 35 of the paths of solitude and have 16 species and 24 forms with a specimen maxed out (level 100 and 10/10/10/10/10/10 effort levels).
The next post for this game will probably be either getting a perfect dex or collecting every alpha. See you then.
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.
Yesterday, after nearly 140 hours played, I finally completed my Pokédex on Legends: Arceus and received the Shiny charm! About 3 days ago, I finally completed every request also, after a lot of grinding for the Path of Solitude. I did some other Paths of Solitude and I’m now up to 26 out of 242. As for Perfect entries on the Pokédex, I’m only at 7 out of 242, but I’ll probably increase that as I alpha and Shiny hunt more.
I have collected one of each non-alpha-and-non-shiny form available in the game and transferred over an extra Alolan Vulpix so I could have both Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Ninetales. You only get one out of Alolan Vulpix or Alolan Ninetales, and only one each of every Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, which means I’m missing 26 extra legendary and mythical formes. It’s hard to see how I will get every Arceus form on the game, but the rest don’t seem too difficult other than Enamorus, which is currently Legends: Arceus exclusive.
For alphas, I have 197 out of 322 forms. For Shinies, I have 18 out of 690 (with 2 unavailable shinies transferred in) so far. I have about 7 Level 100 Pokémon, 2 of which have maxed out effort levels: Arceus and Darkrai. It will be interesting to see these numbers go up over time if I continue to play this game.
I have also 65, 270 Research points out of a possible 99, 999. I expect the next update will be when I reach this maximum.
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.
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.
