Level 40 player for a while with many maxed out mons. I find myself more and more getting bored with the game and looking for challenges. First it was solo all level 3 bosses and all movesets which I can do easily, next it was time attack, next all unique Pokemon, etc I’ve done all different variations of this to keep me engaged. I was very much into Claydol as it presented a tougher challenge at first and jolteon in non weather boosted. What are some other ideas for in game challenges to keep you motivated. I for one would love to see all new level 3 bosses and some potential level 4 bosses that can be solod.
Thanks for any ideas
Are you in the verified level 40 club?
Some of the stuff they do are truly amazing. Just yesterday I saw a post of someone with 6maxed azumarill because that was his favourite mon.
Kieng IV have amazing solo ideas and duo/trio challenges. They just wrecked latios duo without using rayquaza, and duoed Rhydon with 12 unique mon across 2 players.
I'm still at the maxing out pokemon stage, but the above is something I look forward to do.
Judging by your first post, you seem like a more seasoned L40 than I am. I was able to get by with very low stats (for a level 40) using their points scheme last month (I applied when I had 21mil exp, but I had other stats like battles won matching a lot of others in the group)
Have you tried sending an application in though?
EDIT: I've looked at their link and seems that they have indeed closed it. Apologies, I think you definitely deserve to be in there if I am in it.
If you are into collecting, you can keep an eye out for a Lv1 Dex, 666cp Pokemon, Pokemon with round cp numbers, etc.
I started to collect Lv1 Pokemon 2 weeks ago after I saw a video of someone doing all T1 Raids with Lv1 Pokemon only. I have a lot of fun getting that Lv1 Dex together, but collecting stuff isn't for everyone, maybe Lecafe had just the right idea for you.
I'm doing the same solo challenges as you but it's keeping me occupied pretty well because weather ruins a lot of the raids and now there aren't raid scanners. One thing that makes the uniques challenge a lot more challenging is to prohibit legendaries and pseudos unless the solos are impossible without them (like Claydol and Jolteon). And you can go further and actively look for silly teams of generally unused mons.
Other things that motivate me:
Stardust grind, still have a lot more mons that I want to max. Currently at 55.
Medals, Ranger is well on its way and the Karp medal will get there eventually.
Collections, I collect L1 final evos and CP 666 mons.
Gold gyms and total gym badges.
Generic progress for the sake of the monthly TL40 survey. It's fun to compare against other players in my area.
Yes, there are lot of challenges to keep the game from getting boring.
Take your pick, but try to get a mix of long term goals and shorter ones.
I maxed as many of my mons as possible, got to 160 before deciding on another long term one. Now I try to get teams of at least 6 maxed mons for each of the 18 types.
Some short term goals I use to rotate between are max the next mon, work on the next gold gym, try soloing with more challenging teams, or just walk 15 km in particular nice weather.
For me I collect level 1 Pokemon (only keep the fully evolved ones and try to have each of the genders if there is a visual difference). I'm up to 135 of them (been doing it since January 2017). I also have a goal to get to 1000 victories, 100 days defended, and 1000 berries fed on all the gyms in our main palying area (currently have that on one, close on several others).
