Just before the event started I caught my second shiny Tauros. Then I caught a don't Bronzor and shiny spoink. Not bad so far!

And later a shiny Arnaldo and shiny sentret, plus about four joltiks and a gothita.

Within the first hour, hand 2 shiny sentrets and a shiny squirtle. Then for the rest, just 1 more shiny sentret. But the litwicks were cool.

Maybe a bit late for gyms but my current go-to Pokemon for gyms is a 57 points Letarking. Saw a billion of high-cp ones back in the day when some community day event happened so I figured I had to do the needful. Sadly I don't really notice many theme gyms around here, it usually is either something meta or a recent shiny/CDay Pokemon to brag I guess

I finally reached best buddies with my maxed-out 100% mewtwo. Now I don't have to grind hearts, don't have to grind my buddy to excited and don't have to care about PVP. Bliss.

bug hour for me was three!! joltik and a metric ton of anorith (which is exciting for me as a casual) but ground hour was underwhelming

I have a chandelure, two lucarios, a conkeldurr and the mewtwo ast best buddies. But I think my next two buddies are going to be a couple of 3* flower crown eevees that I will make into espeon and umbreon. I will walk them the 10km and that's it.

So the buddy event also spawns decent amounts of joltiks, alolan Meowth, lillipup, feebas and woobat. That really makes that month of woobat research rewards seem like a waste of time, but is good news for anyone who missed out on joltiks during the incense day.

I think your walking time is better spent elsewhere, unless you are flush with non-legendary candy. You could save up a bit of rare candy for those two.

My walking priorities:

Bastiodon candy for 3rd move.
Dratini candy for my first Dragonite (Lucky too, Master League here I come!)
Litwick, Gible, Durumaka, Toegetic, Larvitar: also for my first evolves.

Anything after that will be powering up Conkeldurr,Snorlax, and Lucario but that might be pushing it.

Better for PvE, PvP, or both?
Also, how expensive is the power up for a shadow compared to normal? I'm seeing info online that I think is out of date. The GamePress calculator says it is cheaper?? Can't be right.
Edit: new shadow cost is 20% higher

It was such a good feeling purging hundreds of rejected Meltan into a separate Let's GO Pikachu profile I made in preparation for today, saving me time on releasing them all and rewarding me with two Meltan candy each, to boot. The extra box space back is a great boon, too.

I should have thought of that, I manually transferred ~220 legendaries last night. Though a lot of them couldn't have gone to Let's Go anyway..

Also chalk me up on the "can't be bothered with buddy system" list. Is there even any point if we're staying at home so not clocking up candy distance anyway?

Are you on iOS? I read somewhere that there's a bug with adventure sync in the latest version on iOS. I got a phone sex swing a few weeks ago after I saw someone post about them here and I'm absolutely getting buddy hearts from adventure sync with it.

Also discovered yesterday there does seem to be a cap to the number of candy you can earn in a day from walking your buddy. I was walking my good Dragonair so I can evolve my first Dragonite and after a while I just stopped getting candy. Thought adventure sync was busted but swapped buddies to test and got hearts on the new buddy but no candy. This morning I can get candy again, didn't pay attention to where I started for candy yesterday so not sure what the number is but I'll find out today!

I was at rank 7 for loving ever in battle league. Went 21-4 and finally got to rank 8, RIP me.

All maxed out, team was Rhyperior with mud slap/rock wrecker/surf, Togekiss with charm/flamethrower/ancient power, and Leafeon with razor leaf/leaf blade. It kicked rear end. Now time to get owned.
