Day 162/365: Pokémon Go: Medals and Legendaries

[nanila]

In “this game keeps introducing small but important changes that maintain my interest” news, Pokémon Go seems to have adopted an almost continuous rota of themed events, based on Pokémon types and lasting weeks at a time. It’s helping me to complete my medals, as shown above. The only remaining silvers I have are Steel and Dragon, and if I keep tracking down Arons, I should have Steel into gold by the end of the month. Alchemy!

Completing one’s Pokédex is, of course, a never-ending task. Being a solitary player, I was never going to be a fan of raiding, so I’m very happy that the Field Research provides a different mechanism for collecting legendaries. Thus, now I have Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno.


Flaming Moltres (this should be a cocktail)


Electric Zapdos


Icy Articuno

I’m on Step 6 out of 8 in the Special Research. The sticking point is the “Battle in 10 raids” task. I’ll get through it, but it’s going to take me a while. Not that I mind!

How are my fellow PokéGo players doing?

I absolutely love the research tasks and the chance to get legendaries via the research. Once I change jobs, there will be no more legendary raids for me :( Anyway, I was soooo happy about Articuno <3 And about finally completing my dragon badge with the Alohan Exeggutor.

And yes, the game has been super good about keeping me engaged lately - also good for my attempts at jogging, that's my favorite way to replenish my pokeballs. I can't really catch pokemon while running, but spinning pokestops works :D

Maybe you'll find some raiding buddies at your new work? Articuno is so beautiful. I didn't realise that Exeggutor was a dragon type until their appearance was almost done, boo. :P
