Ahoy everyone, it's been a while since I posted anything Pokémon GO related. Actually even anything at all to be honest. As I haven't been online on here that much lately, kinda due to not feeling all too well overall I guess. I've also been quite busy though.
Lately I haven't played as much Pokémon GO either. I also felt like it may not be so worth writing a single post whenever I did find a Shiny for example. Especially since I tend to write longer posts, and that's not always possible when it's just about a single Shiny encounter.
What do you think, should I just make smaller posts about such encounters or stick to making longer posts only but perhaps not post frequently?
I have been playing during the majority of the past Raid Hours too, including both Zekrom Raid Hours that we've had so far. Just haven't really had that great Zekrom from it, so I didn't feel like it would've been worth writing a post about it. Tomorrow during Zekrom Raid Hour I will definitely play again.
Earlier this month I got a 100% IV Wooper from a Field Research task encounter! That makes this evolution line complete for the 100% IVs, as I once caught a 100% IV Quagsire a long time ago.
Today when I played a little bit I also encountered a Team GO Rocket Grunt at a Pokéstop. I decided to fight against it. They had Mudkiper, Poliwhirl and Politoed with them. As an encounter I got the Shadow Mudkip. After catching it I did an appraise and saw that its stats were 14/13/14 which surprised me a lot! That means purifying this Mudkip would make it a 100%! So I immediately purified it.
You can see the Wooper and Mudkip as Shadow and Purified in this photo.
Like I said, I haven't been playing that much and so when I did encounter a Shiny Pokémon I felt like I shouldn't write a post about it because it would likely be a short post. If you think that I should write some smaller posts too, let me know!
The past two weeks, or perhaps a bit more, I was able to encounter a few Shiny Pokémon. Some of them are new additions, others I already had Shiny. In this next photo you can see all 6 Shiny Pokémon I recently encountered.
Shiny Venonant, Onix, Sneasel and Chinchou are all new Shiny Pokémon for me that I finally encountered for the first time! It's been really great getting those encounters! :D Especially for those that have been in the game for quite some time, but didn't show up as Shiny for me until now.
As for Shiny Swablu and Shiny Shadow Beldum, those are some I already had and now I have one more of them. This is my third Shiny Shadow Beldum, I've been quite lucky with that one! Except for its stats, those have usually been quite bad. So my luck with their encounters seems to go towards chance for Shiny, rather than chance for good stats xP
I should really fight against Arlo and Cliff more often so that I can try to get Shiny Shadow Mawile and Shiny Shadow Pinsir as well. Have you had any luck with Shiny Shadow Pokémon?
