Boy, a lot has happened since I last updated. I had never been out of the U.S. before, but I'm staying in Salzburg, Austria, for three weeks (just finished my first week). Because of this, I was finally able to catch and register Mr. Mime and Volbeat to my PokeDex. I also was traded a Magmar from a friend, allowing me to register it. Other Pokemon I've registered in the last week include Sceptile, Breloom,Wailord, Slaking, and Scizor.
I'm so fortunate that the 2 day Corsola event coincided with my stay. I was finally about to nab a bunch and register it.
In addition to new species, I've gotten a bunch of new Formes. I have finally caught Rain Castforme, and the Alolan Formes of Sandshrew, Sandslash, Meowth, Persian, Grimer, and Muk. The only Alolan Formes I still need from the Eggs are Vulpix and Ninetails.
Yesterday, I was completely surprised when I hatched a shiny Togepi. It's one of my favorite things that's happened to me in Go.
Today during Community Day, I caught 400+ candies worth of Squirtle throughout Salzburg. I ended up with 2 shiny regular Squirtle, and 3 shiny sunglasses Squirtle, which I evolved so I can have a sunglasses Forme of each member of the Squirtle line.
Lastly, I have *finally* progressed to step 5 of the Mew Research. All I need now is to scout out 10 Ghost-type Pokemon and I'll be on to step 6 (I was worried it would take forever for me to find a Ditto, but I found one within an hour of moving on to step 5).
My new Pokedex total is 339.
148 Kanto, 89 Johto, and 102 Hoenn.
