Community spotlight — best catch streaks of May
Five players with absurd streaks, one with a six-Limited week, and the dog that has its own Rotmon dex.
Streak leaderboard (May) 1. **@sigma.maxx** — 142-day streak. Has every Common and Rare in the dex. Missing two Mythics. 2. **@cappucinopilled** — 117 days. Italian wave completionist. First player to catch all six Batch-5 creatures. 3. **@touchgrass.exe** — 98 days. Refuses to play within 1km of his house. Walks an average 7km per day. 4. **@bagged_six_seven** — 86 days. The only player with two Cosmic 6-7 catches. 5. **@auraonly** — 71 days. Has never caught a Common deliberately; only catches Rares and above.
Catch of the month A player in Seoul caught a Holographic Gigachad, an Apex Skibidi, and a Cosmic 6-7 in the same six-day window. We checked the logs. It's real. The odds of that are roughly 1 in 4 million. Their reward is bragging rights and a mention here.
Dog dex A golden retriever named Biscuit (handler: @walkwithbiscuit) has clocked 320km of leash time and "caught" 47 Rotmons. Biscuit's owner phrases it differently — Biscuit walks, owner catches. But the dex screenshot has Biscuit's name on it, so we're crediting the dog.
