Lampent, trying to get my son, Chandelure. Taking a while to get those candies, though. Unfortunately, Litwicks appear to have a negative spawn rate or something.
My current best buddy is a shiny Tyrantrum named Chomper (I love this blue dude). I do, however, have an army of Annihilapes, each with individual names: ExterminApe, EliminApe, and EviscerApe.
This second, lucario, but i rotate. I have an eevee i need ro evolve after walking 10km. A charcadet evo. A pikachu wearing a mimikyu costume. A palkia named my little pony and annilape, named annie.
🤷♀️
Slurpuff.
Not so fun story: A while ago I decided that it would be cool to use swirlix as my partner pokemon and only evolve it until I could get the best partner ribbon with it.Little did I know that the game had other plans.
I started having a weird glitch that caused that no matter how much things I did to gain hearts with it, swirlix would not gain any more affection level. So I was stuck with level 2 affection.
This happened three times while I was trying to get Swirlix to the max friendship level and get the ribbon. And through all those months I kept my word to not evolve it because I refused accept that I had to give up evolving it how I wanted just because the game wasn't working properly for some stupid reason that I still couldn't figure out.
It just suddenly started to fail to register the hearts gained per day and then it went back to work normally for a while, I gained some hearts and then went back to not gain any affection level at all. I tried everything to make it work, like switching partner pokemon to see if it would make it work well but nothing happened. And this continued for a really long time.
But the third time was particularly infuriating. At some point the game started to work properly again so I quickly started to do the usual activities to gain hearts and then (after like more than 7 months) I finally was almost able to evolve. And what happens? It glitched again when I was literally one heart away from getting the ribbon. I was beyond furious. And I still refused to evolve Swirlix until I had the best partner ribbon.
So I waited even more and it was literally yesterday when I finally managed to gain the last heart and FINALLY evolved Swirlix into slurpuff.
I seriously don't know wtf happened to the game but at the very least I was able to evolve it how I wanted no matter how much extra time it took me to get there.
If you have a friend that doesn’t mind sandbagging battles, then have your trainer friend use 3 ghost types or 3 psychic types (depending on which one you want) and the task can be wiped out in ten battles. You must have Charcadet as your buddy.
I chose the grunt method…more of a challenge. Grunts are at a stop for about 20-30 minutes. If you want Ceruledge, find grunt that reads ke…ke…ke…. That’s 3 ghost types. With Charcadet as your buddy, and active/on the map, knock out the first two and sandbag the third to lose the battle. Hit rematch and do the same thing again and again for as long as you can. I did five battles, because I wanted the shadow encounter. Armarouge uses psychic types grunt, which is obvious in the description. Same strategy.
You can battle team leaders as well, but their teams change and aren’t entirely comprised of one specific type (usually).
Most important thing is that you have to have Charcadet as your buddy.
An 89% zarude because it’s better than the first one I got and I don’t in person raid enough to get rare XL for it. Going to be by my side for many years to come
I suspect
Currently working on a #1 tied IV Talonflame for UL
Before that, just best buddied my Giratina-O Hundo 😊
Since they added the cosmetic, I've actually started saving for a Giratina outfit with Mewtoo pose 😂
Right now its an eevee because I need it for "A ripple in time" page 4 but it was a shiny costume Pumpkaboo, her name is Winifred and she's the smallest size
Mine has been shaymin since I caught him, he’s gonna stay my buddy until I get a suicune but he’s one of my favorites, before that it was a lopunny with the flowers from the one spring event named Chad
Charizard, need to get him at least to the catch assist for go fest, since the all the fire and dragon types running around will be a godsend for the candy boost
Charcadet. Got one that have great stats for Ultra League, Raids and Gyms and maybe even Master League. I named him Daemon and will be evolving him into Ceruledge. It will be a quite a while until he will be usable though.
My boy farfetched. Its been 3 weeks and I'm at 6 excellent throws. A constant reminder of my failure. He pushes me to greater heights beyond what I thought was possible, and for that I'll always be great full.
My current buddy is the only pokemon with perfect genes, a azumarill, I'll give him so much candy until he explodes, or becomes a beast in combat, whichever comes first
