Raids: Suicune (failed), Suicune, Exeggutor, Suicune, Suicune
New 2000+ CP Pokemon: Rhydon 2703/2637/2634, Arcanine 2330/2080, Golem 2301, Flareon 2209
New Medal: Gym Leader (Gold)
+2 Silver Gym Badges
Didn't feel like making a post about them until now, otherwise I would've split it in way too many parts and would past too many times in a row for my liking.
Tuesday
Just attending my university's classes in the campus, but during the breaks I managed to get a few defenders through which I finally got the Gym Leader Gold Medal (1000 hours defended) and 2 Silver Gym Badges (off the 4 Gyms in the campus, so 2 more to go) and also got two lucky catches; Rhydon 2634 and Arcanine 2080. Unfortunately, the former's got a Rock Smash/Earthquake moveset (not terrible but not great) and the latter got the super-terrible Snarl/Wild Charge. Nothing else for that day, as I got the daily matters covered.
Wednesday - 2 Suicune Raids that went wrong
After classes I made it to the city centre and found a Suicune Raid, we got 7 people gathered but unfortunately it barely wasn't enough as some were low level and didn't have good counters. So one Pass wasted Did the second one fine about half an hour later, but no catch or Rare Candy added insult to injury.
Thursday
Nothing much either, just making sure I don't miss on any of the daily bonuses.
Friday - Not-Suicune Raid
I had to do two Raids again BUT NAH something had to come up on Friday evening again; I really should know better from now on and never leave the 2-raids to fall on Friday ever again. As I didn't have much time and didn't want to lose the daily Pass, I just did a nearby Exeggutor; it was the only Rank 2 species I've never done before (I was always afraid of it since it's the only one that's not soloable with the 2 Rhydon) and so I was a bit worried, but Tyranitar + Scizor + Arcanine did it pretty easily. Caught it too, but it wasn't Wonder and I'm not spending 75000 Stardust 66 Candy on this when I have a Level 30 Wonder Exeggcute waiting to be great with just 50 Candy.
Saturday - Suicune Raids and more
So the task of two Suicune Raids got a delay for Saturday, which is much more manageable. Did them fine, didn't catch them unfortunately but I got a fair share of Rare Candy, getting closer to that Venusaur register. Since I had some spare time and battery, and the friends around planned to have Lure sessions at the city centre, I sticked around; and we got lucky with a Flareon 2209 spawn, full Fire moveset. Not bad, now there's one less Level 30 Eeveelution to worry about Since I got a Wonder Jolteon (albeit Level 20, and I may not even bother powering it up anytime soon since I'll focus on Raikou instead) this means that I'm now going to focus on getting good Espeon; when I'm finally done with Venusaur and get a good Eevee, I'll go for the 10km Buddy trick.
After the end of these Lure farms and upon getting home a while earlier I got my storage filled in with 50ish evolutions again so I bought a Lucky Egg, popped it and went for the evolutions; and poof Rhydon 2703 and 2637, Arcanine 2330, Golem 2301 ; The first two unfortunately also are Rock Smash/Earthquake, so the Fight Ground group got 5 members while Pure Ground only has 3 (one of which is not so good). This means that when Raikou comes in I plan to use a few Fast TMs I got spare to give those higher ones Mud Slap and get a full Ground 6-Rhydon team to tryhard DPS for the +3 Premier Balls. Arcanine's got a Dark/Fire moveset meh, but if I really need more pure Fire too soon (I don't) I can just use some spare Fast TMs. And Golem is the good one, second one in the Rock-type team.
