Pokémon GO

The Lunala raid started today, so I tried it and got a shiny on the first try lol The stats are trash, but it's a shiny!

o

I got a perfect IV from purification, and a perfect IV Dynamax one, so that's 2 perfect IVs in total! :)

If you take partner photos once a day, Urshifu appears~!

It's pretty fun catching them lol My inventory is always full~~

My Pokemon hasn't returned from the gym for 7 days. If it returns, will I get 50 coins, or will it be considered as defending for 7 days and I'll receive 350 coins?

I have such strong memories of playing Pokemon GO intensely back in the day, so seeing it again after so long brings back a lot of nostalgia lol. At first, I thought it was just a game about catching Pokemon, but once you actually play, there's a surprisingly big thrill in anticipating which Pokemon will appear as you walk around your neighborhood or streets. Even places I'd normally just pass by, I'd find myself checking them out if I saw a Pokestop or Gym. I also remember suddenly stopping in my tracks to try and catch a rare Pokemon I discovered lol. Especially when I caught a Pokemon I'd never seen before, filling up my Pokedex felt quite satisfying. It also brings back memories of playing with friends, walking around and catching Pokemon together. So, rather than just a game, it feels like a game that brings back memories from that time.
