S 07-04 Squirtle(All Missions) & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 22

Dear Readers,

All of Squirtle's missions complete! I love how powerful Zygarde's Square Reveal is. It makes short work of the puzzles, which is nice when repeating them. I need to save another 27 Picrites.

S 07-03 Milotic(All Missions) & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 21

Dear Readers,

Milotic's missions complete! With only 2 Pokémon slots, I wasn't sure if I could get the completion bonus due to the time limit. Vaporeon's Blue Force really helped and I didn't need any Hyper Scan corrections either! Woo! I want to save 39 more Picrites.

S 07-04 Squirtle & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 20

Dear Readers,

I thought I had done this one already? Since I already have one of these on my team? It turns out that I was given this one by Tetra, but had yet to do its puzzle. This is Squirtle. I didn't get an extra one either.

S 07-03 Milotic & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 19

Dear Readers,

It's a good start to this Pokémon with its big fill lines on the right side. It's all thanks to its eyebrows, which may be the longest eyebrows ever. It helps to make the rest of the puzzle straightforward. This one is Milotic.

S 07-06 Vaporeon & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 18

Dear Readers,

This Pokémon has a dark marking on its head that makes for some good fill lines. This pattern, as well as the pattern around its neck, makes a slight U shape. Some little fills left for its cute facial features. Solving this gives you Vaporeon!

S 07-05 Buizel & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 17

Dear Readers,

8-bit Kirby? At least, that's what it looked like at first. But no, it's Buizel and it's looking to the left.

It looks a lot like 8-bit Kirby though!

S 07-02 Bidoof & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 16

Dear Readers,

This Pokémon has a nice simple square face. Very square like buck teeth and nose too. Nothing too complicated for Bidoof.

S 07-01 Snorlax & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 15

Dear Readers,

Not many fills on this one at all, apart from the one full line making up this Pokémon's back on which it lays! The rest is sparse and its big belly is made up of a lot of X spaces. You may feel it's a bit lax. In fact, it's Snorlax!

A 02-05 Manaphy & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 14

Dear Readers,

Manaphy. Still a toughie in the Alt-World! Managed to do this in just under 10 minutes! Unlocked Area 7 with all the Picrites I saved up too. Yay!

A 01-01 Oshawott & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 9

Dear Readers,

Oshawott. Today I learned the Mega 2 clues are quite easy, as they'll always be one filled square per line. I also learned that you don't earn any Picrites for doing a mission in Alt-World sadly. I need to earn 46 more Picrites.

A 00-05 Poké Doll & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 8

Dear Readers,

Poké Doll. The Mega clues can get a bit confusing if you're not careful! I had to remember that they go onto both lines to solve one clue. Need to save another 57 Picrites.

A 00-04 Repel & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 7

Dear Readers,

Repel has a lot of fills, so the Mega clues can have very large numbers. The only thing is to figure out where they all go, so you have to do many of the little ones first. Need to save another 65 Picrites.

A 00-03 Egg & Daily Training Level 8 Grind 6

Dear Readers,

First 10x10 Mega puzzle and it's an Egg. It's a nice one to start the harder ones with. The Mega clues feel like peeling a big juicy fruit when you solve them! It's satisfying! Need to save 73 more Picrites.
