Arceus help me.
The first few hours were complete hell. I think the time I remembered that it lagged so horribly like that was June-August 2016. That horrible flashback....
I couldn't even properly throw because of the lags, it's horribly frustrating. I could've caught so many things and not only snatch many bois, I could've also farmed a lot of dusts, but I couldn't at all and my Quick Draw technique is useless against server issues like this. I don't know how many lured tars I have missed due to the game failing even just to get to the catch screen.
I also noticed due to so many server issues, there's this "hanging in catch screen issue" where Pokeball with the mon inside it is just stuck there, giving neither "Pokemon broke out" or "caught". This would've happened a lot to me had I not used Quick Draw that enabled me to click Escape from this stuck screen, and probably has happened a lot to the others.
Well, in the end, as usual I couldn't find outstanding shiny stuff, although at least I got few great contenders. One Ttar at 13/14/14 is already sitting at 3300+ CP, beating my standardised Ttars.
Still, now I doubt its uses though. Rock attacker are probably coming close in Gen4. Rhyperior would get this too, either naturally or through its own CDay. Dark Ttar is at least very useful across generations until at least 2 years. I can't justify powering up Rock Ttar before there's reason to, and the only reason I can find is them rerunning Trio Birbs with shiny.
At least I was prepared with tonic water that comes to use with the time extension.
I have also exhausted my berries. I'll have to replenish this +500 Bag space after burning through that many items.
