29 days, 20 hours & 14 minutes to pokémon day

I had already clicked out of this encounter when I noticed the sparkles lmao

Shiny Grookey after 1355 eggs hatched! My hunt for Grookey community day took a tad longer than anticipated - I've already gotta start prepping for the next community day this coming Sunday!

SHINY PSYDUCK ON MY DS SIGNED BY JUNICHI MASUDA!! 348 hatched, this is one of my coolest shinies EVER EASILY!

Stealing this from Tumblr

I play Pokemon Go ev-er-y-dayyy I play Pokemon Goooooo

The fact that Golbat and Chansey will never evolve in RBY despite their only evolution requirements being friendship implies that Pokemon just hate Red's guts

#UnownChallenge2026 is coming up! The event runs all of February; shiny hunt an Unown, then shiny hunt a target that begins with that letter! Check out the rules here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Might be a controversial take but I really like Pokemon

in one month, pokemon will celebrate 30 years of dominating my attention

Dragonite offers you a nice cold Cokie Colie, say "Thank you Dragonite"

"Where can I go to find this specific Pokemon?" Switch games: "You can find it in this specific upside-down L-shaped part of the map with no distinguishing landmarks that's exactly 126m east of the nearest town, but only at night and in rainy weather" Older games: "Route 16 bro"

Shiny Cobalion after 1127 seen! I had to do a double take on this one, because I got it literally on the FIRST encounter I had done since returning to this hunt after putting it on hold for a bit. 😳 That's 3 out of 5 of the huntable legendaries in Mega Dimension down!

Shiny Sizzlipede in Motostoke Gym after 9418 SRs! I decided that this was going to be my first shiny of 2026 - I've been hunting it since June, and I wanted to get it done so I could move onto Regieleki and Regidrago. It is now officially my second-longest 1/4096 hunt, and fourth-longest overall.

Yeah this tracks 👍😃

All right, they've all been officially revealed, so give me your favorite and least favorite new Megas of Z-A!

Sinnoh is the only region where your badges get dirty and need to be cleaned. This implies that the air in Sinnoh is polluted to all hell.

This would be a really cool budget set but it's locked behind buying the $650 set...

You could buy a Nintendo Switch 2 and 3 Pokemon games for that kind of money #bruh

Playing through the Isle of Armor the wrong way (transferring Kubfu out of the game so the story lets you continue without it) and it's so eerie. The dojo students refuse to speak with you, and Mustard is "not mad, just disappointed". They really want you to feel that you fucked up.

At 9k for Sizzlipede in Kabu's gym. I do have a copy of Sword now... I *could* play through it up to the third gym so I could double hunt and finally move on from this damn centipede and start on the Regis. I *do* have to play through SwSh a second time to get both Drago and Eleki anyway...

The council has spoken (though it did take them awhile), I must give away the final codes! You know the deal follow, like, and repost to enter! I’ll be picking winners on a rolling basis until I’m out of codes

Fun fact: 2025 was the first year since 2015 to have no new Pokemon revealed. 2016: SM release 2017: USUM release 2018: Meltan/Melmetal reveal 2019: SwSh release 2020: SwSh DLC 2021: Kleavor/Wyrdeer/Basculegion reveal 2022: PLA/SV release 2023: SV DLC 2024: Pecharunt reveal

This is really niche and mostly for my own purposes, but I made an alt account for the purposes of keeping an updated list of how many Pokemon are available in Pokemon Go. If that interests you, go check out @go-pokedex-tracker.bsky.social!

Pokemon's 30th anniversary (+Pokemon Go's 10th anniversary) this year. Excited to see what's in store. 😊

Don't think I'm gonna make a bingo card for 2026. I don't think I have enough shiny hunting plans to fill one out - I kinda forced one for 2025 by filling it with targets that I didn't really think I was gonna get around to, and I only ended up even starting less than half the hunts on it.

This is what it's all about, baby

Well PSA if you fly with a Switch 2: The battery in it is big enough to be considered a laptop-style battery for TSA, so you've gotta take it out separately. Was never a problem for the Switch 1, but both mine and my wife's bags got flagged for additional screening because of it lmao

Shiny Terrakion after 364 seen! This one went really fast thanks to the convenient teleporter - it took just about an hour total to pump out those encounters.

THERE'S THE BITCH

Cannot for the life of me find a distortion with Galarian Farfetch'd... Sirfetch'd is literally the only thing I'm missing in my Hyperspace Dex besides trade evos and special scan legendaries. 😵‍💫

Shiny Latios after 948 SRs! His name is Blast, after Baja Blast :)

My current fixations are Z-A and Weird Al so this happened

I already have 3 of the shiny legendaries available in Mega Dimension, but I may just hunt them again anyway simply because shiny huntable legendaries in recent games are becoming so scarce. This game only has 5, and SV had a grand total of zero.

Clobbopus gets added to both Z-A and Go in the span of a week CLOB NATION RISE UP!

It's cool that there's a few non-shiny locked legendaries in Mega Dimension, but tbh the thing I care about way more is that Gimmighoul isn't shiny locked. 🥹 Finally, a way to hunt it that isn't time-limited/excruciatingly tedious.

>Hype up new Z Megas in Mega Dimension >Do an event distribution for Charizard right before the release of Mega Dimension >There isn't a Mega Charizard Z What did Pokemon mean by this?

The meme this is referencing is older than a lot of people playing this game lmao

Yeah some of these missions are TOUGH. I did a side mission where I was 10 levels above the enemy Pokemon and I still barely survived. I'm really satisfied that this DLC isn't just a walk in the park even for someone with a maxed out team.

Pokemon Go is gonna have content for the next decade just based on the new Megas introduced in Z-A

Now that I'm back from Japan, I'm giving away a cherish ball slowpoke code redeemable in Pokemon ZA! They are very cute 🩷 Like and repost to enter, winner will be sent a code via DM from this account on Friday, any other message is a someone scamming you so ignore it.

This is getting ridiculous, man

Very based, thank you Professor Woke #voiceacting
