Milotic Pokemon - Tumblr Posts

The sheer PAIN AND AGONY I WENT THROUGH JUST for this pokemon.

For context - doing a SP water types only playthrough (with a soda themed name scheme) and decided I wanted a Milotic (first mistake).

So I went fishing for it in Mt Coronet (second mistake).

Eventually went a bit stir crazy and decided to get it in Sword (third mistake).

Found out there was a fog static encounter, but I didn't realise it was bugged to only spawn as male, and I wanted a female pokemon to balance the team out, so I ran from it (fourth mistake).

I then couldn't get another one to spawn, so started fishing on route 2 (fifth mistake).

I then tried max raid battles to no avail, though I did get some XP candy, so.. (seventh mistake).

Eventually gave up and started asking online/friends, to no avail (sixth mistake).

Then checked my Sword boxes again - I had checked them prior but I THOUGHT nothing had come up. (eighth mistake).

Turns out, I had a Milotic the ENTIRE TIME. Started breeding, but couldn't even GET the right nature, let alone a FEMALE Feebas with the right nature, so I decided to go to the battle tower to get what I thought were nature altering mints (ninth mistake).

They didn't ACTUALLY alter the nature, so the whole plan I had with poffins didn't work out the way I'd hoped (tenth mistake - and don't even get me fucking STARTED on the poffin making - my thumbs were dying by batch 2, and I ended up having to make about 4 or 5!)

Eventually settled on a secret ability neutral nature Feebas and traded her to SP. Fed her poffins and evolved her, traded her back to Sword to give her some EXP candy, then traded her back and gave her some necessary moves via TM/move tutor.

And I finally have my fucking Milotic.
