All the dreams I had of having a a decent ditto to found my dream team. The sleepless nights, the re-runs of King of the Hill in the backround having to hear of Hank Hill's erotic adventures of propane and propane accessories, leading to a marathon of Sons of Anarchy season 1. And after the 6, that was it.Ģ days of hunting for Dittos all in vain. He had checked one and it he judged 4IV's that had stats that "Can't be beat" so the hope had welled up once more. I was still hopeful, but my goal was slowly whittling away despite my initial success.Įach time he exclaimed, "This Pokémon's potential is outstanding overall." I would get lead along by the metaphoric rope around my neck, only for him to tell me each Ditto had a measly 3IV's, building me up, only to scatter me like a house of cards. What I didn't account for was the next few batches were all 3IV. One by one I handed him each party's worth.įirst few batches were 3IV, but that was to be expected. The moment of truth had arrived, the IV judge who had given me the news that made me as jubilant as when you find your first shiny pokemon. So after the 2 boxes of 3 star Dittos and 10 extra, I had in total, 100 Dittos. The hope that was sown into me, thanks to the first four 4IV Dittos. A sacrifice all for the spoils that would come.
After I had let loose with a mighty power up punch, it had fainted, and to my shock, the Ditto that followed had the most hauntingly bright pink hue. All the breaks of chains while sneaking, all the pesky Munnas that wasted my PP's and believe it or not, a shiny Ditto, which in my very fatigued and broken state, looked like a Ditto cloaked in the dusk of night. So I had spent two days and two nights DexNavving all I could. The first 4 special Dittos were what drove me. Hungry for a Ditto that could build myself a strong team of 6 gifted pokemon the masses would be inspired by. This was my billed goal, however, deep down, I knew I would be disappointed with any less than 6ivs. I felt like I could earn myself a 5iv ditto. This was extremely exciting and seemed to me like a breakthrough.
After I showed him the entire pc box, 6 x 6, I had revelled in joy to find that I had 4 Dittos that had 4IV's.
I filled my pockets full of Dittos to show him what I had achieved. False swiping at all those pink blobs, putting them to sleep and then catching those little masses of biological clay that showed me at least 3 stars of potential.Īfter the first box had filled, I went to the trusty IV checker in the Battle Resort. So with my team, Ambipom, Linoone, Blaziken, Tropius, Breloom and Noivern, I was on my way. I prepared all my pokeballs (yes, pokeballs) and leppa berries I could and I was on my way to do a big binge of the figurative feast that was an all you can eat Ditto buffet. I was in high spirits, flying around on Latios when I landed on a Mirage forest with the dexnav showing a ditto was in the area.
So the adventure starts when after days of neglecting the feature, I utilize the buzznav street pass function to get over the hump of not finding a Mirage Forest or Mirage Cave where the elusive Ditto resides. The goal was to catch at least, a 5iv ditto with intention to use as a breeding analogue. Here begins my tale of the great Ditto hunt of 2016.
