>>55672405My final strength rating was just over 2 million, and got a solid 9 hours of sleep that I really needed. My final Drowsy power was an impressive 300 million thanks to that 1.5x bonus.
Unfortunately my incense didn't spawn the 3 star Raikou I needed, but the 2 star Raikou, together with some really nice spawns like 3 star Togekiss and other high value sleep scores, earned me a lot of research EXP and pushed me over into rank 54. Rank 55 by end of week seems achieveable.
My use of a research incense and two research EXP Bonus Pokémon really paid off tonight.
My Snorlax this week is Grepa / Cheri / Belue, and wants salads again.
Whilst I don't have any steel types worth using, I do have a pretty good Bewear and a BFS Lucario. I boosted the Bewear to 30 this morning so I can unlock 5x Corn, and also boosted my BFS Pikachu into a level 30 Raichu.
I initially kept it as a PIkachu for the Raikou "unique species" requirement, but I trialled Raikou on Sunday and wasn't that impressed with the 5x instant help from 4 Pokémon on a single skill trigger. Had Raikou, BFS Raichu, BFS Pikachu, BFS Dedenne, Wigglytuff.
I'd prefer the consistent output from that Raichu at its best rather than giving a boost to Raikou's main skill. Down the line, I'll eventually get a good Ampharos and Jolteon that would justify running Raikou, but that's a ways off especially with no guarantee or likelihood or Grepa berries as favourite in the immediate future.
