We made it to stage 71 in Pokemon Go this previous weekend, the primary stage up since the massive sport replace in the course of October. My spouse desires to verify I inform everyone that she made it forward of me, so she “received” that race. She might be fairly aggressive. She additionally complained fairly a bit once I was forward, however she has her methods.
Stage 71 achieved
So there we go. The primary of the ultimate ten ranges of Pokemon Go attained.
I’ll, as soon as once more, spare a short second to surprise aloud who thought it was a good suggestion to lift the extent cap by 30 ranges after which leap all of the excessive achievers straight to the final ten. Appears dumb, however I do have a really MMORPG drive outlook on ranges I suppose.
On high of that, the brand new Saudi homeowners have actually began emphasizing xp achieve, giving individuals new avenues just like the each day free 1km egg to get extra xp frequently than they used to. So I get extra xp when what is obstructing me from leveling is the duties that sit earlier than us.
To counter that, I’ll say that there’s something to be mentioned for not having to grind xp, that having a activity focus is a little bit of a change. And I’ll nonetheless want some xp as time goes on and we advance to larger ranges. I presently have about sufficient xp to get me to stage 75 and want perhaps one other 65 million to have sufficient for stage 80. That can proceed to accrued as we’re centered on different issues. Right here is the desk they put out for xp.
- Stage 10: 48,000 complete XP
- Stage 20: 258,000 complete XP
- Stage 30: 1,083,000 complete XP
- Stage 40: 3,953,000 complete XP
- Stage 50: 12,753,000 complete XP
- Stage 60: 34,353,000 complete XP
- Stage 70: 85,853,000 complete XP
- Stage 80: 203,353,000 complete XP
I’m at 140 million, so a methods to go earlier than it’s not a difficulty.
For stage 71 all of us wanted to do the next:
- 15 Platinum Medals
- Energy Up Legendary or Legendary Pokemon 20 instances
- Make 999 good throws
- Catch 100 Pokemon in a single day
I determine anyone who was boosted to stage 70 with the massive replace most likely had 15 platinum medals, in order that was no impediment. Powering up legendary or legendary Pokemon 20 instances should be straightforward sufficient.
So the actual duties have been catching 100 Pokemon in a single day… which was a not that unhealthy. I went over to the neighborhood heart, which is Pokemon central in our city, put lures up on a few Pokestops and simply caught every little thing that confirmed up for 45 minutes and I used to be finished.
That left 999 good throws. Good throws in and of themselves are straightforward. Simply land the Pokeball contained in the goal ring, regardless of the scale, and it counts. I modified up my play fashion and timed my throws to land on the level of most circle dimension… a behavior I’m now attempting to interrupt as a result of doing that over a thousand instances… not each ball hits… will make that your default habits.
Whereas I may do 100 catches in a day, 999 good throws… I do produce other issues to do in the course of the day. Nonetheless, others on my mates checklist went proper at it and I noticed individuals at stage 71 inside two days of the massive replace. In that context, me taking 15 days marks me as a little bit of a slacker. I closed it out on Saturday by going again to the neighborhood heart to get in my final 90. Lure out, incense lit, audio guide enjoying within the automotive, and simply sit and catch.
My stage 71 stats
I didn’t even must catch 999 Pokemon to get 999 good throws.
Sot now we’re there. We made it to stage 71. And meaning the duties for stage 72 are earlier than us. These are:
- 20 Platinum Medals
- Comply with a Route 7 days in a row
- Use 200 supper efficient Charged Assaults
- Earn 1,000,000 stardust
Properly, I’ve 26 platinum medals, and my spouse has 31, so we have been good there instantly.
Following a route every single day for per week… that can simply take seven days. That could be very doable. In truth, we now have a route a pair blocks from our home that’s half a kilometer lengthy and which I can park, begin it up, drive to the tip, and end it in about 3 minutes. It might most likely be higher for my well being if I walked it, however some days I’m too busy to get out and try this earlier than it turns darkish.
200 tremendous efficient charged assaults… I may need to optimize for that one. With the fitting group you will get in a great dozen throughout a raid. We’ll simply must get out and do some raids to knock that one out.
Lastly, incomes one million stardust… properly, that’s only a matter of time. You get 100 for each catch and a few extra for each spin and for each battle and each raid and a few for each day duties… it provides up. That also would possibly take some time. The one approach to optimize for it’s to only play extra I suppose.
Anyway, we’re off and working for stage 72. And, with a watch in direction of stage 73 we now have began accumulating tainted Pokemon to purify, as one of many targets is to purify 100. Would possibly as properly get began on that upfront.
I will even want to return to my platinum medal technique. I presently have 26 and can want 30 to get stage 74, and extra for each stage after that, for a complete of fifty to attain stage 80. The medals are more likely to do me in earlier than the tip.
