Alright, it's been a long while since I've made a post here. Sorry for the long delay but in the beginning it was just a bit daunting to gather up all the info, and then I got very busy all over the holidays while it'd only keep growing larger. Just got the time to get it all written down, this covers an entire Holiday Event (even though it's one I haven't played too much in).
Won't go into detail over what sessions at which time etc. because to be honest I've forgotten some details here and there after all these days. But:
>Level 36 to 37 happened one night after one of my only two big city centre sessions within the holidays, with help from a Lucky Egg to finish it off, because I wanted to barely hit the new level within the New Year and maximize Raikou's DPS through two more powerups.
>Got Bag space upgrade after I got a bit too many items after all the Raids with little action to spend them on
>Got Storage space as I didn't have the time to properly transfer for a while
>One Silver Gym Badge was from a Gym on top of my aunt's house, in which I spent lots of time for Christmas. Did the Sableye, Wartortle and Charmeleon Raids there, put several defenders... it was Bronze before it all started, it's now one of my best Silvers. Another Silver is from the Gym where I did the Sandslash, another's from a Groudon, not sure what the fourth is...
>Got Battle Legend silver after some Groudon Raids, got Hoenn silver after some more registers thanks to the event releasing more Hoenn Pokemon
>Delibird was an easy catch from my house's spawn point. Hariyama (2278) is from a Makuhita I found in a city centre session under Cloudy weather, also found a good Spheal at home's spawn point under rainy weather, got enough Candy in time to evolve it all the way to Walrein (2208), one of my three new usable Ice attackers (alongside Jynx and Cloyster, which I'll elaborate on later). Blaziken (2178) I got enough Candy for from the city centre as Torchic is very common despite the weather, got my best one under Sunny weather which I evolved. Beautifly, Cascoon and Dustox were all done thanks to Wurmple Buddy Candy as well as some catches in a mall packed with spawns under rainy weather. Shiftry was done off Seedot thanks to the Sunny weather, unfortunately what I thought was my best evolution candidate only reached 1800ish CP. Mawile is from the one Raid of it I managed to do, just to get done with it. Manectric thanks to some Electrike from rain, Swalot thanks to some Gulpin from Cloudy, Roselia I got enough of to not only grab a lucky 100% Level 32 at 1522 CP but also more than 100 Candy thanks to Sunny/Cloudy, so I'm ready for my first (best) Roserade already. Wailmer's a lucky hatch. Barboach I got one of at Sunny weather in the city centre, now a Buddy that has about 35/50 Candy. One lucky Corphish just because. Lots of Snorunt during the event, got Glalie and 50 Candy and a female saved for Froslass.
>All my seen entries are from Gyms, except maybe Vigoroth who might've been Pokemon Go Plus as I don't remember it; in that case it fled, meh
>The Rhydon and Golem were caught as nice Rhyhorn/Geodude under Sunny/Partly Cloudy and evolved, Groudon caught in the Raids, got a 89% Level 20 but my pride and joy is the 87% Level 25, the 2871 one, best candidate for powerup at the moment. Machamp were caught as nice Machop under Cloudy and evolved then TM'd so I can have a better Fighting Top 6 than before. Alakazam was a bit too lucky despite its mediocre IV considering it's a 900+ CP GO Plus'd Abra during Windy weather which only appeared like two hours in 15 days. Houndoom are mostly caught in Clear weather, some evolved some not. Granbull under Cloudy weather, high CP one kept for collection and lower CP one as it's my best Play Rough Pokemon. Steelix was from a lucky high level Onix under weather, don't remember exactly when. Nidoqueen and Nidoking were both lucky Cloudy spawns too. Cloyster caught as Shellder during event and evolved. Jynx caught at level 29 during event and powered up to 30. Both have Ice moveset making them my new usable Ice trio alongside Walrein, glad I got those as I was severely lacking in the Ice department and didn't feel like spending Stardust on Lapras. Poliwrath was also a lucky catch (rare I know), Rapidash from a high level Ponyta in Sunny weather.
I didn't play as much as I would like during the event but I still got enough time to get done with Walrein and Glalie and save up for Froslass. Only thing I really missed which I can't get back is the Santa Hat Pichu, tough luck; although I could've made much more use of 6 hour Lures for Stardust. Alas, can't have everything. I also wish I'd done more Groudon but I still have time and am hoping on some more good Sunny ones. To be fair, I was afraid it'd get worse during my inactive days but thankfully it still worked out in the end.
Glad to be back, and most likely about to post much more soon
