Scarlett First Impressions(Switch 2) and more

So 19:00 UTC start time(which is in 1 hour as opposed to 10 minutes) or you referring to when my reply got approved? I replied at 6:52 UTC and didn't get approved until 14:08 UTC… that's 7 bleeping hours.

I was on at 02:30 but you weren't and didn't know you were late(stopped looking for Trade partner at 02:50 or so). Real life takes priority so no biggie. In the meantime I got some more progress. I finished the Academy Tournament before moving onto Kitakami. Working on its Dex now, but I'd like to finish Paldea if possible and will try and evolve Geodude(Kanto and Alolan variants apparently, although I haven't found the Alolan variant yet), Timburr and other Trade Evolutions(like Politoed or Dusknoir) from Kitakami Dex tonight and tomorrow.

Thought just occurred to me that you can do Kitakami as soon as the Treasure hunt begins. I might do a 2nd run with Kitakami Pokémon and see how that goes. It has Vulpix so I already have my Fire pick. Whether or not I’ll include the Alolan option I’m not sure but Mamoswine is my Ice pick right now. Vikavolt as a Bug/Electric, Basculegion for a Water/Ghost, Weezing as my Poison pick and my Grass starter round out the team. Weak to Fairy but can’t cover everything.

I logged off at 02:50 UTC so yeah. I opted to put my remaining time this evening into finishing Part 1 of Teal Mask with Ogerpon and catching it. The Loyal Three are going to be a royal pain though… I just know it. At least I can wall the Monkey with Kingambit(literally immune to it), the Dog can be walled by Gholdengo(Ghost/Steel ftw) and Revavroom can wall the Bird. I just need to power level them a bit to be on the safe side. Once I catch those three, I'll only have Violet exclusives like Aipom and Morpeko to grab along with Trade Evolutions in Golem, Conkeldurr, Dusknoir, Politoed, Trevenant and Milotic(I have needed items for Milotic, Dusknoir and Politoed too). That would just leave the Ursaluna side-quest and I'll have Kitakami all done.

For the regional Paldea Dex, I still need 6 of the 7 Iron Paradoxes(I have Iron Thorns, need the rest) along with Miraidon, Gulpin, Misdreavus, Clauncher, Dreepy, Ceruledge, Eiscue, Passimian and the other two regional starters(Sprigatito + Quaxly). I also need to trade for Scizor and Slowking, which I have the items all set to go. Once I do that, the regional Dex will be complete and I can get started on Blueberry and that Dex grind. My primary team of 6 is roughly level 90 now so it won't take me much longer to reach level 100. I've never hit 100 before without using Rare Candies given how much of a grind it is in Generation 1 so this will be a career milestone.
