thedarlingone* Yup, hatched a Happiny. After some pondering, I named it AbsoluteUnit because I'm very much running out of ideas and Leia was busy. Leia suggests Sunshine, which is better, I'll change it next time I get to Jubilife (I think it is) where they keep the nickname changer NPC.
* That means the only thing I can catch on Route 210 that I don't have yet is a Mime Jr. The chances are significantly better during the "morning" hours, but I never wake up that early -- it's 4am to 10am -- so I guess I'll just clean out the many trainer battles around here and then see what I can find. I'd like to get everybody relevant against Maylene up to level 30 to match her ace, so that's... let's see, she has one pure Fighting type which is weak to Flying, Psychic, and Fairy, so I definitely want my Staravia and Kadabra leveled; one Meditite which is weak to Flying, Ghost, and Fairy, so I could just use Staravia but I really want to level Haunter because this could be my one chance to use the Gastly line in battle; and a Lucario which is weak to Fire, Fighting, and Ground, so leveling my own Meditite would probably be best but I am leveling that Ponyta I caught as well.
* I don't have anything at all with Poison or Steel moves to use against Fairy types yet, so one of the battles on this route could be tricky because he has three Mr Mime. We'll see what happens.
* ...why did I somehow think Mr Mime resists Ghost instead of being weak to it. That was easier than I expected.
* I caught Mime Jr! I named it Teatime. I don't even usually have a problem with clowns, but Mr Mime bugs me. I think it's the weird sticky pads on its fingers.
* Route 215 eastbound from Solaceon Town to Veilstone City is the first route where I've already caught every available spawn elsewhere. Also, I had a weekly YouTube livestream I wanted to catch. So I spent the time grinding levels on Route 210, periodically nipping back down into Solaceon Town to heal at the Pokemon Center, and have gotten roughly half my pokemon to level 30. I might keep going? Haven't decided yet.
* I got like fifteen pokemon to level 30 and have nine left to level, but because I started with the highest level ones, it's taking longer and longer as I go. I might not do them all before I go to Veilstone, and I'm definitely wrapping up here for tonight. I know I'm going to want my Elite Four team at like level 60 or 70, though, so it's good to have the useful pokemon like Gastrodon grinded up a ways so I'll have options as I go.
