While walking around I noticed the silhouette of Abomasnow on my nearby radar. I opened it to see where it was at, and it was at a Pokéstop I was gonna be super close to anyway while on my way to get some food. I didn't even have to make a detour as it was at a Pokéstop on the market square. As I arrived on the market square I prepare to walk to that Pokéstop, but didn't even have to go near it, as the Abomasnow already showed up. Then I took this great picture of it where it looks like its defending its territory and my presence is making it mad!
I clicked on it to start the encounter so I could feed it a berry to hopefully calm it down a bit. After calming it down I decided to throw an Ultra Ball at it, but it broke out immediately! I decided to feed it another berry as it may have been quite hungry and threw another Ultra Ball. This time I managed to capture it!
This was not the first Abomasnow I came across in the wild, the previous one I encountered a while back did however run away unfortunately. Lately I have not been evolving my Pokémon to get their new Pokédex registry, but prefer finding them in the wild. As it's even greater to register them in the Pokédex that way. I might only make the exception if I have a few high IV ones.
So with this wild Abomasnow encounter and being able to capture it this time, I have now registered Abomasnow in my Pokédex!
After the capture I let my team leader Blance apprais it, and she said it's a wonder. So it was definitely 82% IV or higher. I decided to then check its actual IV and wow it turns out it was a 98% Abomasnow! Not only do I have a new Pokédex registry with this Abomasnow, but I immediately have a high IV one already as well! My best Snover so far is also a 98% IV one. Now only the 100% IV ones can be an improvement :P
