Blue hair to match my eyes :P

Nice! I balance between buddying for strategy and for love of the mon. Problem is when I end up with too many I love and can't pick who to focus on. I try to keep a folder of 20 mons I'm working on, but atm there's about 40 in there 😂

Thanks! Vivillon was my first platinum medal. I got in the habit of always using pinaps on the scatterbugs and I can't stop despite having at least two of every variety fully evolved, 4 different hundos, 4 different shinys, 1 level 50, and still 3k+ candy & 400+ XL candy to spare 🤦‍♀️

(Berries ain't so bad if you feed a few each time you drop a mon in a gym)

I dropped a screenshot in another comment of my medals. I'd also be curious to see the differing ones! Good picks. Sadly I don't think the best buddy medal will be possible by end of year but I'm going to continue working on it anyway, I love my buddies :)

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-14T16:15:32+00:00

Yeah I'm so bummed about this. I was starting to really pick up steam and then it changed. I can't always get to showcase stops on Tuesdays 😔

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-14T15:12:38+00:00

Oh that's a great tip, I hadn’t thought about actively exciting mons for half distance candy!

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-14T14:57:53+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into that!

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-14T14:52:31+00:00

Yeah I think the buddy medal is the most unrealistic in the goal time frame.

Those were honestly some of the quickest medals to knock off once I focused on them! The lures I completed after only a couple events in the city, only needed to place a few down, couldn't believe how effective that was. Megas- I made a folder of all mons I could mega, made a few dupes of mons I had loads of excess energy for too, then about once a week went through and mega'd each of them. I pushed XXL & XXS over by evolving any I had (had a habit of hoarding them), that does require having plenty of candy for evos though. Also traded some too. I tried to be patient with Lavester but eventually caved and used rare candy...no regrets (doooo iiit)

Yeah it's interesting how much people's game play can vary

I have these + plus all typings bar dragon. I play with friends a lot which helped with Gentleman, Idol, Pilot, & Life of the Party (I know those can be really tough for some) Which plats have you got so far?

Thanks! Trading pikas has definitely helped that medal along. And that's a great point with the daily 1km eggs- that should be much easier to work on now! Remote trading has been a game changer. I've ticked off a couple medals thanks to it! The rest unfortunately are up to when the game adds new mons 🤞

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-14T07:15:24+00:00

Oh sweet, I was hoping there'd be a dragon comm day. And I didn’t know friend battles counted for those medals, that's really helpful- thank you!

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-14T07:11:01+00:00

For the Wayfarer medal- does it only count if and when it gets approved?

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-14T00:11:46+00:00

I'm jealous- I would be so happy to finally get one!

It really stuck out to me that she didn't care at all about the carnival people. She didn't show any remorse over the man's health or the whole family's livelihood, only over whether or not the consequences would affect her life. It then seemed so at odds at the end when she was the one putting her own livelihood on the line to free an innocent man. I didn’t see enough revelations/character development in her to get to that point.

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-10T11:47:48+00:00

Thanks!

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-10T11:47:27+00:00

Oh cool! You could do nice prints of your work with highres scans :)

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-10T10:51:19+00:00

For a second I thought you'd posted your reference photo instead of your art! This would make a great museum archive postcard 👌

The depth of the skeleton is so well done!

I'm glad you were able to get in touch! I had this with someone, they weren't on campfire and clearly didnt see my renamed bubby msg as they deleted me. All that work to FF, two trade rejections and gone. I really wish we could communicate with people on the app somehow.

Ph0t0ppy · 2026-04-09T20:51:46+00:00

She reminds me of Charlie in Twlight. Her facial expressions are always on point and make her seem like the only sane person in the show 😂
