oh man I’m so behind on Pokemon Go evolutions. gonna make a list here to keep track:

• Carkol (39/100 candy) – current project
• Glimmet (14/50 candy)
• Clobbopus (14/50 candy; do not have a 3* to evolve)
• Poltchageist (17/50 candy)
• Tarountula (29/50 candy)
• Toedscool (44/50 candy; do not have a 3* to evolve)
• Nacli (26/25 candy, but I will presumably need 100 more; do not have a 3* to evolve)
• Snom (110/400 candy (BIG PROJECT))
• Applin (144/200 candy, also I think I will need 400 after that?? and 19 syrupy apples?? why is this one pokemon such an incredible pain in the ass. it’s not even that special)

literally what is going on. why are there so many of these. Snom and Applin mk.3 have been on the backburner for a while, but the rest are all new

update (3/26): finished Carkol, Glimmet, and Poltchageist, but now we have Blipbug and Impidimp on deck, so here’s an updated project list:

• Blipbug (14/125 candy) – current project
• Toedscool (got the candy but don’t have a 3* to evolve)
• Clobbopus (14/50 candy; do not have a 3* to evolve)
• Tarountula (29/50 candy)
• Impidimp (31/125 candy)
• Nacli (34/125 candy; do not have a 3* to evolve)
• Snom (187/400 candy (BIG PROJECT))
• Applin (156/600 candy, 1/20 syrupy apples (STUPIDLY BIG PROJECT))

three steps forward, two steps back. honestly it feels like a cash grab; they’re making it more difficult to get new pokemon so people will buy the deluxe pass + event tickets for more encounters with the featured pokemon. look, buddy, it ain’t going to work. walking is free.

update (3/28): wtf is this research task?? “earn 2 candies exploring with Volcanion as your buddy” BRO I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS. I’M WALKING MY BLIPBUG.
