Alright, let’s talk about how I finally got my hands on that elusive Gold Hoenn Medal in Pokemon GO. It wasn’t a walk in the park, I gotta tell ya, but it was definitely a fun ride.
So, I started my Pokemon GO journey like everyone else, catching those common Pidgeys and Rattatas. But I had my eyes on the prize – that shiny Gold Hoenn Medal. I knew it was all about catching Pokemon from the Hoenn region. I did some digging and found out I needed to catch a whopping 90 different species from Hoenn to get it. 90! That’s a lot of Pokemon!

First things first, I made sure I was always stocked up on Pokeballs. You never know when a rare Pokemon might pop up, and you don’t wanna be caught empty-handed. I also started paying more attention to the events in the game. Niantic, the folks who make Pokemon GO, they often have these special events where certain types of Pokemon are more common. And guess what? They even had a few Hoenn-themed events. Those were my golden opportunities!
During these events, I was out there, rain or shine, catching everything that moved. I’d walk around my neighborhood, visit local parks, and even made a few trips to places known for having lots of Pokemon. I was on a mission, and nothing was gonna stop me. And of course, I kept an eye on my Pokedex. That’s where you can see all the Pokemon you’ve caught. It was my little progress bar, and seeing it fill up with those Hoenn Pokemon was super satisfying.
- Catching Spree: Every time I saw a Hoenn Pokemon, I went for it. No hesitation.
- Event Hustle: I made the most of those Hoenn-themed events. Those were crucial.
- Raid Battles: I also started doing more raid battles, especially those featuring Hoenn legendaries. Those were tough, but they counted towards my goal.
- Gym Battles: Participating in gym battles and feeding berries to Pokemon in gyms also helped me reach the gold level.
It took a while, I won’t lie. There were days when I felt like giving up. But I kept at it, and finally, after all that hard work, I caught my 90th Hoenn Pokemon. Seeing that Gold Hoenn Medal pop up on my screen was such a great feeling. It’s not just a medal; it’s a symbol of all the fun I had exploring and catching Pokemon.
My Two Cents
If you’re aiming for that Gold Hoenn Medal, my advice is to be patient and persistent. Take advantage of the events, join raid battles, and explore different areas. And most importantly, have fun with it! It’s a game, after all. Happy catching!
