I just used the rescue service for the first time.

Because I was out swimming by the edge of the map when my inventory filled up, and the idea of swimming back to shore just seemed like too much work.

You have to download it on your phone and your Switch, and make sure both are linked to your Nintendo account. You can't get it unless you have both, because you have to redeem it on the phone version and then transfer it into Sword/Shield from the Switch version.

I think I can safely say this is the only time I've owned a shiny version of a Pokemon before the standard version.

The shiny Zeraora is now being distributed in Home too. It's only available for a week, so don't forget.

Oops I started doing new quests after Mechonis Core and now I'm level 91. It just kinda happened. Started with the quests that have monsters in the mid-70s and as I finished more and more, I ended up strong enough to go back to the ones I'd been skipping over. Fighting the telethia in Alcamoth serves as pretty good exp too.

If you think about it, there really are only a few possibilities that make sense. It has to be someone who already has story relevance, because if it was just some random person introduced at the time of joining then it wouldn't be considered a spoiler. And then it has to have some shock value to it, because again, people wouldn't take the effort to so carefully conceal it if it was just someone like Dickson or Kallian. So that pretty much leaves either a villain turning good or a presumed dead character not really being dead.

Hooray, I got the achievement for beating something 10 levels higher than me. Took out some of those level 91 bunnits in Tephra Cave for that Moritz quest (while being level 75-76).

These being in the Bottom 100 is awful. But the fact there's only three of my favorites down there is overall pretty good I suppose.

798.Diggersby 3.966
840.Simisage 3.577
851.Volbeat 3.448

But also yes thank you for doing it and I would like my full stats page please.

I feel pretty confident in saying that bug spawn rates drop a lot while the timer is going. There's normally butterflies and locusts all over the place, but once the round starts, they just disappear.

I had forgotten a lot of how the story unfolds towards the end, so seeing it again now with actual faces is really nice. Like I knew (ch. 15&16) Dickson and Lorithia ended up being bad guys, but I couldn't remember how or why. I also forgot the revelation of how Shulk and Zanza were connected.

There's also a few of Reyn's skills to link with that temporarily increase your stats when fighting higher level monsters, and if you're fighting at night for the Night Vision boost, it also doesn't hurt to link Riki and Melia's skills that boost strength and reduce cooldown at night.

The Florida DBPR (aka the people in charge of the state's liquor licenses) seems to be taking matters into their own hands.

Heard swimming sucked in new leaf but ve never played and I hope it's better here

Movement was slow and chasing things could be frustrating. It wasn't a good money maker either, so there was little reason to do it once you had all the current month's critters. But we'll see if they improved it at all.

I've been making very little progress the last few days. Going through Mechonis has been taking a toll. Just three relatively samey areas doing very little aside from collecting resources and hunting down UMs before moving on. And Agnithira is easily the least interesting of the three locations, so it being at the end just makes it harder. I'm close to being finished with Agniritha now though, so I know it's just one final push to get back to some variety again. Funny it's not the sidequests that are doing me in.

The 1 million Zeraora raids have been reached, so everyone can get a shiny Zeraora in Home next week. According to the Pokemon.com, to qualify to receive one:

You must have deposited a Pokmon in Pokmon HOME or moved a Pokmon to Pokmon Sword or Pokmon Shield from Pokmon HOME between Wednesday, June 17, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. PDT and Monday, July 6, 2020, at 4:59 p.m. PDT.

It'll apparently only be redeemable from June 29th to July 6th.

Haha, I pretty much just soloed the level 70 UM in the Factory with Riki (lv 69). I had a team of Riki/Shulk/Sharla. It used the flamethrower attack to start and the blaze damage killed Shulk/Sharla right away. I didn't have any blue bar to revive them, so I basically just sat there doing DoT attacks and using You Can Do It whenever it refreshed. Towards the end I got a burst affinity so I revived Sharla (I didn't know who I was reviving, I just hit B near a body), but Riki was plenty tanky enough that I think I still would've won without her. Bless the Heropon's monstrous HP.

Okay I may be able to kill regular monsters at level 75 but the first sidequest upon inviting Nic is a level 78 unique monster and that's gonna be a no, lol.

Through my failed attempts, I was constantly giving encouragement, so at least I got a lot of affinity boosts. Enough to increase my affinity level with both teammates, so not a total waste of time.

Hooray, I managed to kill the level 75 Gogols and Vangs to get the parts needed for Housing Lv 5, while only being level 68. Used Melia, Shulk, and Dunban. Made sure to do it at night with Night Vision gems.
