Playing through Paldea, we all have our own little goals and things we’re working towards in our own circumstances— making progress big and small.
Maybe you finally got Goldengho to evolve, maybe you beat a boss way underlevelled, maybe you reached masterball rank online or had an especially epic 6 Star Raid you finished. Whatever it is, share your story embellished as much or as little as you like!
I’ll start:
Small Victory: I finally got Palafin!!
How amazing that Pokémon gave us a super hero Pokémon that literally evolves through the power of friendship!!
Problem: Having no friends…
Later though, after beating the game and finally starting to pay attention to those weird shiny crystal thingies on the ground, I realized that Palafin was a Mon in level 5 raids! I could get a hero all my own even with no friends!
And though scouring the map almost never brought me my dolphin friend day after day, looking at online raids sprang new hope in me! People did post level 5 Palafin raids! And still, no need for friends, friend codes, socialization
Only problem: Actually getting into them…
Seems there are loooots of other anti-social folk without friends wanting in on Palafin raids. So much adrenaline rush and many Hopes and Dreams dashed by the “Unable to Join message” (and while counting stars on Finizen Raids).
Even getting in a couple times!!! Only for newbs bringing Cinderace against Grass Palafin to run down the clock…
Annoyed by the mad impossible rush to join online raids, I determined to finally find one in my own world. I decided to just stay in one raid-den-rich area and reset the clock until I found it!!!!
One problem: “Unable to turn off Internet Time Synch when controlled by Parental App.”
WTF? Opening the parental app— nope no way to change the clock there. You mean I need to choose between being overlord of my kids’ Nintendo time and endless Raid Refreshing!? Bull———
“I wonder what would happen if I just changed the location.”
OMG this works!!! Just flipping between locations crossing the international date line ALSO resets the Raids!!!!
*1 hour later*
I FOUND THE PALAFIN RAAAAAIIID!!! My very own!!!!!
I’m still wondering if certain species tend towards certain Tera types or if it’s truly random, but most of the online Palafins I saw were Dragon, Grass or Water so I prioritized those and feel I found it faster than I expected. Mine is Dragon by the way, above pic taken from Google.
And now, to challenge it!!
But do I host it and share the love?
