>Soft reset for my Jolly Silvally for a good 2 hours
>EV trained him with no Pokerus and only a few of the EV Items
>did a million runs of the E4 with him in the lead while training other mons for my Pokedex
>all the while kept sending Pokemon in the shard cave in Palegeo for shards
>finish dex and Silvally is only lv.95
>say fuck it, raise a Meowth squad to farm Rare Candies
>get him to lv. 100 and use my 3 Bottle Caps on him
>that feeling of total fulfillment looking at my absolutely perfect Silvally that I'm going to use for as long as I play Pokemon
