Pokémon GO Weekly overview and Entei Raid Day; Win 1 SBI share
I've been quite busy this week so I haven't made any posts since the last overview of the week post until this one. Friday I went to help out to set up the place for a charity event and do the general rehearsal for the show we would be doing. Then on Saturday we had the charity event itself, performing the show on stage twice during the event. Then we had to clean the place up which lasted until night too. So those two days I didn't even really have time to play.
Earlier this week when I had a bit of time to play I saw a Skuntank show up on my nearby radar which I didn't have in my Pokédex yet. As I still had some time between the first and 2nd Raid I decided to go walk to that Pokéstop to find the Skuntank. It was really low CP, making it an easy catch and being able to register Skuntank in my Pokédex!
Due to not being able to play that much this week I have only been able to get 2 Lucky Pokémon from trades.The Machop is definitely nice to get with its 96% IV, although it lacks in the Attack stat and I already have 2 Machamp of 98% with 15 Attack. So I won't be evolving this one to use for battle, I will keep it though :D And another Lucky Pidgey, this time just 84% IV so I will be transferring it as I already evolved a previous Lucky Pidgey to get Lucky Pidgeotto and Lucky Pidgeot in my Pokédex
On Tuesday when I returned from London back home to Belgium I arrived in the King's Cross Station and saw some more West Sea Shellos on my nearby radar, unfortunately all too far away and I already arrived later due a problem with one of the underground lines' lights. So I couldn't get to them and back as I would likely be too late for my train then. Instead I decided to activate an Incense and see if I could be lucky to have a Shellos spawn on it, and I did! So now I have both West Sea and East Sea Shellos! :D
During the week when walking back from a Raid to go home with some people we came across a Makuhita. I thought to myself to quickly click on it to check for Shiny, and it actually turned out to be a Shiny Makuhita! Now I have two of them so I could evolve one to Shiny Hariyama!
One of the people who was part of the show for the charity event this weekend went to Dortmund GO Fest the weekend before and she was able to catch quite some Unown and a few Carnivine there. I was able to get an Unown from her. We did forget to trade on Friday as we were so busy with setting everything up and rehearsing. So we could only trade one Unown, as they're Special Trades when that form isn't in the Pokédex yet. I let her have a look at my Pokémon to find something she wanted to have in return. She didn't have Chingling yet so she wanted to have one of those which I gave to her! She did kinda want a Shiny Charmander more, but those still cost too much Stardust as she doesn't have that one Shiny yet. So I've promised to keep one of them saved for her to trade once we're Best Friends.
This Sunday it was Entei Raid Day, with Shiny Entei being added into the game. We made plans to meet up at the market place this time, where we had over 40 people so we had to split into 3 groups. Then we went to the PC Sint Amands Gym and De Werft Gym. At De Werft Gym my account couldn't load anything in, I just saw the map and nothing else. I restarted and it showed an error (0) during restart, upon finally loading I still couldn't see anything except the map. So I had already told everyone to just go in without me. Once they finished the Raid and I had restarted again everything loaded in. Then we went to the local park and then towards the shopping street. Here some people decided to stop, but the majority of us still continued to Gasthuismuseum and Biedermeierke. After that just over half of the rest of the group did decide to also go to the Wooden Playground Gym, which we didn't go to with Raikou Raid Day as not enough people still wanted to continue. That's an EX-Raid Gym too, so I might be able to get an invite for the next one.
I was unlucky this time and didn't get a Shiny Entei in the 8 Raids I did. I did manage to catch all 8 of them which was nice and I even caught a 98% with the 2nd to last Raid. That's my best Entei now so that was really great!
On my way home from the last Entei Raid I came across a Skorupi that I caught and which was a wonder. Upon checking it, turns out it's a 98% which is now my best Skorupi. Definitely glad I decided to catch it!

Wow, I found this post on the news feed, it is a hidden gem :)
So many people just spam mindless posts but you really wrote about your personal stories with Pogo = made me happy.
I love the game, I just couldn't bring myself to join random local communities and hang out with them - my friends unfortunately don't play and it can be sometimes a bit boring to grind alone.
As for the SBI giveaway I don't have a special memory with a single 'mon, but rather with the whole franchise. I have been watching lots of videos on YouTube explaining how game freak will take away resources from the main series and bring them to Pogo because it is more profitable. That was like a big wow to me. I hope it still counts as a nomination hehe :D

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that! :D
Yeah playing the game alone can be quite boring indeed. I hope you can find some people to sometimes do raids with if you want to do those higher levels.
Oh will they really do that? Cause it seems like they're adding elements based on PoGo such as the Raid Bosses. Although I heard that Mega Evolution won't be in Sword & Shield, so that could be true. I haven't been able to look into all the info about Sword & Shield yet.
Yes I'll let that count for the giveaway :D
