Right now, I need hard rarity eggs for Paldea research.

I adopted three random eggs blindly (since this research is now more difficult without premium). They're easy, medium, and rare.

PH is trolling me. :,v

Welp, pretty much immediately ran into a retro gengar, but of course it ran away. We'll see if I'll get another chance this year. :b

Also, witches are very scary...

Oh damn, I think this is my first lab legend. A great time to have my break at work it seems. :,D

Aaaand that's mew plushie #15. Had to buy 33k DP to get there, which cost me 5k nuggets. ...But I've got the shiny 10th anniversary mew in the bag. :V

The hit on my nugget reserves doesn't actually feel that bad since I've been selling heaps of gems I got from sending all those plushies and using that PD to buy overpriced nuggets. :b

Oh gosh, at long last, I have cleared the Pro Path in the Royal Tunnel. Sheesh. I started getting so nervous when I noticed I got up to level 80. xD

...Yes, I'm quite bad at pokemon trivia. I really can't remember when most pokemon evolve or when their eggs hatch. :b

Okay, got 11 mew plushies and now I'm really starting to run out of DP for the first time in a really long time. Welp. :,D

So I'd have to dip into my premium nugget savings if I wanna get a good chance of the 10th anniversary mew as shiny, hmm... I guess I still have some time to consider my options. :d

"Results of Magearna's Raffle:

We are afraid that you didn't win this time. ... But better luck next time!
Your chance of winning was 76.67%."

Uuuuuuuggghhhhhhhh. RIP, my game chips...

Okay, losing to Sweden with jury votes stings, but I'm more salty about Germany. Lord of the Lost was bloody great and this is an outrage. I demand justice! >:[

...At least Croatia's fabulous traktore got the public votes they deserved.

(For the confused, this is just Eurovision rambling.)

You never really appreciate the little things in life enough until they're violently taken away from you.

..Meaning, I hurt my right thumb pretty badly as a right handed person and I'm feeling dramatic. I never really thought about how much I use that one finger. :,D

At least I didn't break bones so my suffering shouldn't be long.

"Congratulations! A shiny Groudon hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #100)!"

Nice. That's number 2 so that's a wrap.

#MyCoolestPokemon is Darth Vader.

Before Pokeheroes, I was on a different pokemon adopting site and decided to shiny hunt charmander so I could have a shiny charizard named Darth Vader. Because Vader is cool, charmander is the best starter, and shiny charizard is black.

(There, the story behind the weird name revealed in case anyone was curious.)

However, as soon as I hatched my shiny charmander, the site announced its closure. Never evolved that first Vader to his final form.

Shortly after, PH opened up for business, I joined, and promptly had another hunt for a shiny charmander after PH's shiny hunting mechanic was overhauled from that... interesting first version.

He was the first shiny charmander on site too.

"Congratulations! A shiny Groudon hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #40)!"

Oh. Huh. Neat. :,D

Oh gosh darn it, I forgot to open the first door of the advent calendar. Dx

"Congratulations! A shiny Slowyore hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #136)!"

And that's number 3! I can move on to other things now, hurrah. :,D

So... Who's gonna hunt a shiny mega with perfect IVs? Bonus points for a legendary. :b

"Congratulations! A shiny Slowyore hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #125)!"

Great, just one more and I can be done. :v

"Shadow: 151/151"
"Shadow: 127/127"

At long last, that final unown eludes me no more. :,]

Welp, there went my last trick or treats for this year, no retro gengar encounter after the first day when it ran away of course. Curses.

I saw this coming though so I just bought a placeholder retro gengar earlier to fill that one missing spot in my retro dex until I can finally get one myself. :b

"Congratulations! A shiny Slowyore hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #69)!"

Nice. One down. :,v

"The Shadow Ditto has been caught successfully!"

And with that, I finally have all the Kanto shadows. Now I only gotta hunt down one unown. >:]
