I just battled Blanche too and got one. Properly easier than taking chances in PvP battles unless you battle a lot anyway.

That was a lot of Blanche battles Grin

Wow. Will have to check that out.

Which league should you battle Blanche in then? Ultra? Master? Because in Great league, her sneasel is just dark type.

Am happy with porygon catches. No perfect but a bunch of shinies.

Master league blanche has metagross as her middle Pokémon i think. If you can get out there are dozens of grunts, psychic or ghost obvs, fairy grunt usually has a ralts or two. Any others?

Is annihilape actually good for anything particular except ticking off Pokédex? Raids or battle leagues? Upgraded one I hoped would be GL or UL profile and it's sitting inconveniently way below or just above the thresholds. So now I wondering if it's worth trying again.

ISaySteadyOn · 21/01/2024 09:23

Yes, tis definitely Blanche. I like Primeape's happy little dance though so I am glad it is my buddy.

I'm trying to get my eggs in order for next batch of friendship levelling up.

Uniquewyre - we're ready to go to ultra friend

Best friends due:
GohE2017 - 6 days
Veasard - 8 days
Galarianpony - 9 days
Schmoigle1234 - 11 days

I'd like to try and hang on so I can get you all together, if that isn't too much of a pain! I'm always short of coins and still need more Pokémon and item storage, so trying not to spend too much on eggs.

Can we try and find a time to all go together if you want to match eggs?

Tarkan · 29/01/2024 00:05

I think I just manifested a 100% Scatterbug. Grin I was opening gifts and doing the postcards and thinking about how many hundreds of them I must have caught by now but hadn't had any 100% ones, and then immediately caught a garden one which was 100% when I appraised it.

ISaySteadyOn · 29/01/2024 06:29

Awesome!

@AlmostLegendary , happy to coordinate eggs but can you remind me your PoGo name?

I am looking forward to Chansey community day. I like the shinies and haven't got one yet.

And I just caught Galarian Articuno on the way back from dropping DD1 at school. 😁

Eww the shinies are a nasty colour

Tarkan · 29/01/2024 16:39

The only shiny Chansey I have has flowers on its head so a normal one would be good too.

My kids don't play any more but every time I get a new shiny I tell them and say "guess what colour it was?". My 15yo laughs as almost every single one of them seems to be green.

AlmostLegendary · 29/01/2024 22:30

I'm thecrazyonesmum, I would have thought of something more inspired if I knew I'd be sticking with it!

I keep getting 0 star shinies and struggle to see the point of them sometimes. We have a local gym where everyone follows a theme, so yellow shinies one time, pink another. If it wasn't for that no-one would even know I had them. Still want a shiny chansey though. 🤣

The only thing to do with 0* shinies is to mirror trade them. Ideally when you’re lucky friends so you get a guarantee of a better one. Saying that I have 358 currently ( not including community day ones and other excessive duplicates I’ve dumped )

Ds is in your list of friends you’re trying to coordinate with (8 days). He doesn’t need xp so open whenever suits. I would just say don’t send him a gift for the last day as he/me tend to open without always checking.

AlmostLegendary · 30/01/2024 14:41

Thank you (or pass on thanks to your son), I'll probably have everything lined up and then forget what I'm doing and open everything with no egg anyway!

thirdfiddle · 06/02/2024 12:29

AlmostLegendary, wild goldfish! Trust you have a happy and well fed gyarados now :)

AlmostLegendary · 06/02/2024 21:51

I managed to walk her far enough to evolve a while ago. Then I discovered the next task was to evolve a feebas - which I'd just done a couple of days before, so I had no candy and binned the feebas I'd just got, as I didn't think I needed it! 🤦Fortunately DS was able to transfer me a replacement, but I had to walk a long way to replace the candy. I am slowly learning patience!

I'm hoping to egg just after 20:00 on Thurs for levelling up friendships, would that work @ISaySteadyOn? Not sure who anyone else is on the thread but GohE2017 and Schmoigle1234 we could also go then? I accidentally did Veasard today by joining a raid having been saving the gift ready to do with everyone else. I think I preferred it when I had no idea when the levelling up was going to happen and it just came as a nice surprise, this has been quite hard work to try and organise. 🤣

ISaySteadyOn · 06/02/2024 21:55

That would work fine. I will remind myself 🙂

@AlmostLegendary I am sorry I missed 8. Dealing with recalcitrant small people yelling in my ear.

Ive not been on the thread for a while but was friends with a lot of you. I’m EevieEevieEevie. Unfortunately my sons were playing on my phone and managed to delete the vast majority of my friends 😱 so if anyone would like to add me I’m 392981154295

PickAChew · 10/02/2024 00:35

Have sent a request. Trainer name begins with O.

Finally got my gold magikarp medal, tonight. At this rate, only another 18 years to get the platinum.

I think it mainly worked, I had horrible problems logging in (having thought I'd timed everything to perfection) so was also a little late!

Eevie I've got you now.

Not sure the magikarp platinum will ever be achievable...lots of magikarp but not many large ones out and about at the moment!

gillybean2 · 12/02/2024 01:53

Woohoo, just hit my platinum magikarp! Ds got his last week. A good trick is to trade large ones with a friend so you can both double up a bit quicker. Good luck to everyone still chipping away towards gold and platinum.
Next I just need another 295 tiny rattata…

WhatAboutMyIcecream · 12/02/2024 21:30

Thanks to everyone who re-added me! I finally finished the Mew mission today too so it’s been a successful day!

Still need the silver before I start on gold or platinum! 🤣 Even if I can find a friend to double up it's still a long way off, that must have taken some dedication!
