So I was out PokeHunting tonight (it may have been the third straight night of such adventures, but who's counting?), and we found a Venusaur! It had a CP of 655, and I used all my Great Balls trying to get it. He ended up running away, but my two friends caught it.
The only thing that made it better was I hatched an egg right after it ran away, and I got a Snorlax! A few minutes earlier I also got a Jynx and named her Nicki Minaj. I also got to level 14 tonight, so it wasn't a total disappointment... but I'm still mad.
