Oh, uhh. Fair warning. You might not see me on Tumblr much, because...
I caught a Misdreavus in Violet!!!!!
Four of them, actually. (And it took 28 Pokeballs! Even with their HP in the reds and being asleep. That FRICKING catch rate, I swear-- Dear gods I am dedicated to these ghosts.)
Somehow three of them have perfect IVs??? And the one I picked has EVERY IV except Defense* at 18+?! (* Which is 0-4, but I'm no stranger to EV training for defense, I've been doing that since Christmas 2007.) I don't know how I did that, but once again the Video Game gods have seen fit to reunite me with my favorite ghosts.
I was so excited when I caught the first one, I tossed my hands up and threw the Switch a little. <XD Not very far, I was sitting on my bed and it just slipped out of my hands. But gosh I was Happy.
(I wasn't expecting it because someone told me they're late game ((love you<3)), but I was battling... something else, just grinding. And I saw one in the background and was like "?! WAITAMINNIT!" And immediately made it my mission to catch one. Except his nature was Not Ideal for a Misdreavus, heightened attack and lowered Sp Def... No. Had to find Another One. Which became another 3.)
So anyways, my Pokemon nerding out is mostly confined to @works-of-magic , but that's more of an RP blog and this is more my game liveblogging blog.
And I wanted to let you all know why I may be missing the next couple days! I have that Misdreavus plus a Gastly to train up to useable levels, because I'm trying something Sorta New where I play the whole game by Playing Favorites. So my target team is all ghosts and birds. X)
And now that I have my favorite (well, favorite line anyways-- Mismagius just BARELY beats Misdreavus out as my Very Favorite), even grinding is delightful. I was so giddy and surprised, my whole world is glowing. I really do love these ghosts to a ridiculous degree. ✨💖💙💖✨
