My favorite catch from Global Go Fest this year is a shiny Zamazenta with the background.

I made it to Master Ball in both singles and doubles this season! Singles was today right before the reset tomorrow lol. But I'm so interested in seeing what gets added and then climbing again.

Working on special research in Pokemon Go to get shiny Mew, and ice and dragon Pokemon being so heavily underrepresented is a roadblock!

A picture showing only 6 ice Pokemon out of 30 and 10 dragon Pokemon out of 30 have been caught.

I decided to finally actually shiny hunt Lugia in Pokemon Soul Silver since it's the 30th anniversary and Lugia is my favorite Pokemon. I was like, if I can put hours into shiny hunting Latios (a Pokemon not even in my top 100) I can put in the time for my fav! Wish me luck!!

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

My hunt for shiny Latios is finally complete. This one took the longest. I didn't count the exact number of resets but it was probably at least seven or eight hours (not all at once ofc).

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

I bought a can of Monster because it was a zero sugar flavor I haven't seen before, and the can was pretty. Did I accidentally buy one of the ones meant to be marketed to women? If so, it was effective lmao (also it tastes really good so I'll probably buy it again)

This Kpop Demon Hunters sticker book I got at Walmart is top tier but now I have the usual sticker dilemma of what do I stick them to??

As if to make up for how long it took to shiny hunt Cobalion, I got shiny Virizion after two soft resets.

This hunt took forever but now I have a shiny Cobalion in Pokemon Legends ZA.

I still haven't had any luck getting a shiny Sharpedo or Carvanha, but I did get a shiny Gyarados! I almost have a full shiny team of the original team I beat ZA with (just need a shiny Charizard).

Shiny team: Gyarados, Absol, Gardevoir, Meganium, Pyroar, Excadrill

I went from level 43 in Pokemon Go to level 62 with the update. I fear that my item bag will never recover.

Item bag count is 2249 items with a bag limit of 1150.

Got a four star Slowbro from the free September pass.

The fact that someone can just feel confident enough to say that without even trying to sugarcoat it is big yikes 😬

Went back to Shining Revelry in PokemonTCGP and finally got the shiny Charizard!

Finally got my Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack! It had a Zoey card!

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Just checked and I'm literally only missing Suicune EX and Entei EX to have all the diamond cards.

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

Finally got a blue doggo (shiny Zacian)!!

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

I had done remote raids on Dialga and Palkia when they had forgotten to increase the shiny rates, so I got to catch one of each today! Both are three stars, and Palkia has Spacial Rend!

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

I really wish PokemonTCGP would put shiny cards as a possible 6th card (like baby Pokemon) because I'm annoyed that I have two shiny Lickitung and NidoranM but I have yet to get Umbreon EX. Why is a four diamond harder to get than a shiny?

Two shiny Nidoran and Lickitung cards and one shiny Sneasel card

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

I finally got a Lugia card in PokemonTCGP! I'll still keep pulling that pack though because I still want the two star and the immersive as well.

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

I did pretty well today in Pokemon Go with the fossils. Four blue dinos and a shiny Amaura! Some of the best shinies that exist tbh.

Got shiny Hisuian Lilligant on my first raid! Only a two star but the shiny part is more important anyway in this case.

It was after about six or seven that I got this gal.

I did pretty well over the weekend in Pokemon Go with Eevee Community Day! I got enough shinies for every Eeveelution that I didn't already have. I wasn't able to get Leafeon because no one had mossy lures up but I saved an Eevee to evolve when I can.

Like I got all these cool cards for under $16 which is way less than it would have taken to get them all by buying boosters and hoping for the best.

The next Moogle tome event in FFXIV has one of the things I've been trying to get for years and it's only 7 tomes. Now I won't have to farm Memoria Misera.

The PokemonTCGP RNG gods really want me to use Snorlax, apparently. Two rainbow rares before I even get one Sylveon card!

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

My ten pack pull in PokemonTCGP got me two rainbow rares, the Eevee immersive, full art Espeon, and Leafeon among others. I think the Eevee immersive may be the best one yet.

Pokemon TCG Pocket cards of Eevee, Snorlax, Dragonite, Espeon, and Leafeon.

Fought Giovanni in Pokemon Go today and got a pretty good shadow Dialga. Now I just have to wait until the next Rocket Takeover to teach it a better charged move.

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

I got all of the required demiatmas in FFXIV's Occult Crescent, so I picked up the axe! It's not actually higher ilvl than my current weapon, but I wanted to have it ready for the next step. Also, it looks cool.

Got my chase card from the latest PokemonTCGP set! I was so excited when I realized Sharpedo was in it.

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

I went back to pulling from Genetic Apex Charizard packs in PokemonTCGP because I was still missing the immersive Charizard. Well this morning, just in time for the release of the next mini pack, I finally got it!

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

I caught a shiny Gyarados in Pokemon Scarlet with the Ferocious mark. It's very in character for Gyarados!

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

My first ever Toxel in Pokemon Go and it's a shiny! I didn't know it's a 400 candy evolution though. Gonna be a while before I can evolve it.

Toxel but it's pink because it's the shiny version

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Got a hundo Tandemaus from a research task! I wonder if it will evolve to 3 mouse Maushold.

Michelle @sword0fstorms.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

She doesn't have great stats but I finally have a shiny Gyarados in Pokemon Go. Working on Best Buddy status now!

I'd saved up hourglasses for the new set in PokemonTCGP and it paid off. I got Lillie and Guzma immersive cards!
