S 02-04 Froakie(All Missions) & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 15

Dear Readers,

Froakie's missions are now complete. I earned another 4 Picrites from that and a mural tile. Will have to start doing those someday. To achieve this, I just had to have two Pokémon and only use Poochyena's Scatter Reveal. It's the only one I have that knows this move. I also earned 7 Picrites in daily training. Now I need another 170 to unlock the Alt-World.

S 02-02 Pancham(All Missions) & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 14

Dear Readers,

Pancham missions are next. To clear them all, I carry 2 Pokémon, one of them Mew for freezing time. It only has 5 PP of this move, so I knew I wouldn't go over the limit! I earned 4 Picrites here and 7 in daily training. I need another 181 to access the Alt-World.

S 02-01 Pumpkaboo(All Missions) & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 13

Dear Readers,

Got 100% of Pumpkaboo's missions. Poochyena is my only dark-type Pokémon at the moment and it had one use of Scatter Reveal, so that's what I had to use. Earned 5 Picrites from all that and 7 from daily training. I need 192 more to unlock Alt-World.

S 01-03 Oshawott(All Missions) & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 12

I have to save up for the Alt-World so I might as well go back and collect Picrites I missed. I use Whimsicott and Mew to help fulfill the grass and time requirements on Oshawott's puzzle. I also earn 7 Picrites in daily training. I need 300!

S 05-07 Zygarde 10% Forme & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 11

Dear Readers,

I completed S 05-07 in 00:09:37

The passwords for this and the other form are 74326715 and 77742314. Of the three forms, this is a lot more slender. It's not too difficult, though there is a lot of X. The fills are most prominent in the top of its head and ears and the bottom right. Draw it all together and you get Zygarde 10% Forme. Earned 7 Picrites in daily training too.

S 00-08 Antidote (Test 3) & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 10

Dear Readers,

I completed S 00-08 in 00:06:41

Getting the hang of Mega Picross but not 100% confident yet. This third test is a generous helping of fills that'll help me get more used to it. Finishing it gives me an Antidote. I have access to the Alt-World now but admission costs 300 Picrites! Gah! Need to save daily training Picrites. I earned 7 today.

S 00-07 Ether (Test 2) & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 9

Dear Readers,

I completed S 00-07 in 00:01:53

Still getting used to Mega Picross! This is the second test. Had to restart once so it's best to take it slow. Nice way to start this is the complete fills around the perimeter. Some nice tidy parallel fill lines around the middle too. This gives you an Ether. Also earned 7 Picrites in daily training.

S 00-06 Ultra Ball (Test 1) & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 8

Dear Readers,

I completed S 00-06 in 00:02:04

Professor Tetra tells me about an Alt-World. Sounds interesting, but I have to do some tests in order to access it. This is the first one. She explains Mega Picross rules. Wow, it's a whole new way of thinking and pretty tricky. This first one I managed to click with after a while and reveal an Ultra Ball. I also earned 7 Picrites in daily training.

S 05-08 Zygarde Complete Forme & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 7

Dear Readers,

I finished S 05-08 in 00:09:46

The passwords for this and the other form are 74326715 and 77742314. For a 20x15, this wasn't too difficult! Some big fill clues here were a great way to get started and helped me continue to the very end. Using Zygarde 50% Forme's Square Reveal twice helped a lot too for this and Picrite bonuses! This one is Zygarde Complete Forme. Earned 7 Picrites in daily training.

S 05-05 Spiritomb & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 6

Dear Readers,

I finished S 05-05 in 00:02:57

This Pokémon looks like a swirling purple vapour with green bubbly features making up its face. In the puzzle it's mostly fill and the X make up the parts of the face. When it's all finished you get a Spiritomb. I got 7 Picrites in the daily training too.

S 05-04 Axew & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 5

Dear Readers,

I finished S 05-04 in 00:01:47

The largest fill this Pokémon has is the top of its head. The rest of its face has a handy right angle for other big fill lines. There are some other little details on its face like its eyes and tusks. Complete this and you get Axew. I also Earned 7 Picrites in daily training.

S 05-03 Charmander & Daily Training Level 6 Grind 4

Dear Readers,

I finished S 05-03 in 00:04:44

I earned 7 Picrites in daily training. This puzzle wasn't bad at all. Not many fills but it was quite doable. It's just drawn a bit like a bean shape with eyes and a smile. It should come in handy though. It's Charmander.

S 05-06 Zygarde 50% Forme

Dear Readers,

I finished S 05-06 in 00:46:23

Another tricky 20x15. Although this Pokémon is dark in colour, it doesn't have a lot of fills. Lines are drawn for its head, eyes, frills and tail. At least, I think those things on its head are frills. They look like they have their own eyes. The completed puzzle gives you Zygarde 50% Forme.

S 05-01 Banette

Dear Readers,

I finished S 05-01 in 00:02:31

Finally doing Pokémon puzzles again! This one is very dark, so lots of big fill clues here. X appears for some of its eyes, its grinning teeth and the space around its pointy head. Fill the clues and you get Banette.

Daily Training Level 6 Grind 3

Dear Readers,

I still didn't level up from 6 in the daily training, but I finally earned enough Picrites to unlock the next area! It only took over a week!

Daily Training Level 6 Grind 2

Dear Readers,

I improved my time immensely in the daily training today, but still came a few seconds short of the target time! I'm still at level 6 for now. Just need 3 Picrites to unlock the next area though!

Daily Training Level 6 Grind 1

Dear Readers,

I did the level 6 training again today. Took me about 5 minutes so I didn't level up. Got 6 Picrites though. Just 9 more to unlock the next area!

Daily Training Level 6

Dear Readers,

Level 6 of the training is tough enough! I'm not as quick on this as on the others. I don't proceed to the next level, but I get 6 Picrites payment, bringing my total up to 65. I need 15 more to unlock the next area.

Daily Training Level 5

Dear Readers,

Today I did Level 5 of the daily training. I got 6 Picrites this time instead of 5. It's kind of like having a job where your salary increases as you level up! I managed to level up to 6 this time.

Daily Training Level 4

Dear Readers,

Time for the next level of daily training! Being level 4, it's now 4 consecutive 7x7 puzzles. I completed them in time and advanced to level 5. I got 5 Picrites too. Only 27 more to go to unlock the next area!

Daily Training Level 3 Grind 2

Dear Readers,

Today I did another session of the same level of daily training. This time though, I managed to finish it quick enough to level up to 4. Got 5 Picrites as reward, giving me a total of 48. Just 32 to go in order to unlock the next area!

Daily Training Level 3 Grind 1

Dear Readers,

Today I did some more of the same daily training. It's a way to earn Picrites and I need 80 for the next area. Today I win 5, giving me a total of 43.  It's a downside to Free-To-Start gaming, but I've gotten lots of content so far.

S 04-07 Mew

Dear Readers,

I finished S04-07 in 00:59:36

The password for this is 18587211. This took a few attempts! If you use Celebi's Freeze Time, you can make Greninja's Blue Force last a lot longer. It's a great combination!

The tail and face were kind of tricky in the end but I conquered and captured Mew!

Daily Training Level 3

Dear Readers,

Happy New Year!

I did another session of 3 7x7 speed puzzles that went very well. Got 5 Picrites as reward. I still need 45 for the next area though!
