Pikachu medal

I hit it during Larvitar CD with a random Pikachu spawn, same day I hit 40 (I think). I got like 150 more after this past month of Pikachus everywhere. Congrats!

1465, got gold last November at Safari Zone (a week or two before I hit level 40). Haven't paid any attention to the medal since hitting 1k.

There's a hardcore (>100m exp, no gotcha/goplus) player in my area who was grinding it hard by catching and trading, heard they're at over 5k.

Reached Level 40 a month back, only completed the Pikachu Gold a week back - if it hadn't been for the summer event I'd have never have got it. Outside of events Pikachu are as rare as hen's teeth locally.

Still looking for big fish to get the Angler Gold...
