Ahoy there! It's been a little while again since I've posted. I feel like I could've actually posted since I did get some nice encounters in the game between Porygon Community Day and now, however I didn't. Instead I'll just put all of them together in this post.
A few days ago I got a Shiny Shadow Koffing from the Meowth Balloon with Jessie and James! Now I have at least this one Shiny. Too bad I didn't get a Shiny Shadow Ekans, as they have left at the end of September, but I'm sure they'll return in the future!
During this week's Raid Hour with Zapdos, I encountered a Shiny Snover after catching one of the Zapdos! It's my first Shiny Snover so that was a really great encounter!
After the Raid Hour I was walking around with two friends, and at some point finally encountered my first ever Shiny Caterpie! I didn't get a proper encounter screenshot, I didn't notice it had nearly jumped out of the top of the screen when my screenshot was taken, until way after I caught it.
Technically my Shiny Alolan Raichu is not from September anymore, as I caught it this 1st of October. But the monthly Research Breakthrough encounter doesn't reset until the 1st of the next month at 10 pm my time and I got the box today so I figured I'd just get another Alolan Raichu from it. Turns out that was a great idea as I got my first ever Shiny of it!
Here are the Shinies!
Then I also got two 100% between the last post and this! During the Spearow Spotlight Hour I got my first 100% Spearow. Which I really love. It's amongst one of my favourite Pokémon, especially because I can call it Captain Jack Spearow xD
A few days ago when the Mega Event was still active with lots of big spawns, I got a message from a friend about a 100% Hitmonchan he caught and letting me know where he got it. I went outside, took my bike and managed to catch it! A minute or two later the weather in-game changed and made Fighting-type Pokémon boosted. So I was really lucky to get there in time and it still being there, otherwise it would've likely had different IVs!
Have you had any new Shiny and/or 100% IV encounters recently?
