>>29140457OK! So here's the full truth HOPEFULLY.
At the time I went to the Radio tower I was still using a Shuckle, I had grown fond of this shuckle because he closed out the executive battle at the lake of rage hide out and didn't want to box him. I got him on March 27th of 2016. I think I kept playing into April and then gave up when I realized I was at the Elite Four and all my Pokemon were barely Level 40. I picked the game back up on May 20th or 21st when I learned I could actually catch a Murkrow in Johto which was what I wanted to use before settling with Xatu.
Having removed Shuckle, which hurt, and Xatu, which didn't, from my party to deal with the Elite Four's bullshit after realizing maybe I'm using too many shitmon I then caught a Swinub AND a Flaafy on May 24th.
Tl;Dr: I didn't have Ampharos YET. I had Shuckle, which you can promptly feel bad for. While I say I cared for this Shuckle I must not have cared much because I forgot I fucking used him at all.
ALSO! Here's my completion date to prove I did what I said I did around the time I said I did it.
