Finally i caught him. Happy to have now 1 of 3. Sooner or later i will have all 3 of them..

As you can see I really really want to get my blue beauty. I hope it will not take too long.

Will be the last gen 1 shiny legendary for my collection. After that I can go back to my favorite gen 2 editions.

Can't wait to see the shiny animation from gen 2 again.

i had to cut the video short but i started at 29 balls.... also failed this last year.

First ever completely random shiny in SwSh, one of my favourite shinies too! Very happy, very surprised

Sigh

Doing a triple masuda hunt for the 3 starters before I finally get the DLC, and the first one finally shined. This was the 912th Quaxly. Hopefully the other 2 don't take nearly as long

2 encounters before this, I realized my Harvest exeggutor wasn't holding a leppa berry. Super lucky that I caught that in time, this guy took a ton of ultra balls and ate a couple of leppa berries on the way. It was probably at least 400 encounters over the last few days.

Shiny Magmar this time on my soulsilver copy. Fled after 4 balls. Phase 5 for Lairon. All my hgss shinies love to run from me lol

been shiny hunting my favourite pokemon game on and off for about eight months now in search of Lillipup, made three other friends along the way instead. maybe one day i'll find him but loving the journey so far regardless. super rewarding

What a grueling phase which took long weeks. Decided to do a couple more encounters than I had planned... Great! 🥳

(Teddiursa says hi 😭🤣)

and it has a special background too oh my gosh

So this copy of platinum only has 7 badges and so only pokemon up to level 70 will listen to me if they're from another game. So I sent a shroomish egg to platinum, hatched it so it would have platinums trainer ID, and then trained it in another game to level 80. I did all this with the future Giratina hunt in mind. One thing I gave too little consideration towards was the ability it had, effect spore, I saw it could poison but in all the training I did it never did that so I figured I could run those odds. Well on the third sneasel I false swipe it, it hits me, gets poisoned, dies. Then the same thing happened again with the 4th sneasel. So the shinies shown in the video are actually the 1st, 2nd, and 5th shiny sneasel from the hunt. Needless to say I'm training up a new breloom with poison heal instead of effect spore.

TLDR I lied in my last post, I do in fact not still have it

This one only took about a week! Excited to see results quickly :) hopefully Stakataka doesn’t take as long lol. Happy Hunting!

I love Torkoal, I set up this savannah zone in order to maybe get one for the at least the last three Safari Weeks I’ve participated in.
I was fully prepared for it to run, especially after 3 balls with no shakes. But I actually caught him!

Shiny event pichu to get the spikey eared pichu!^.^

Honestly REALLY surprised by my luck with this, I expected to be stuck in that forest forever 😭 But managed to get a shiny timid petilil on the 73rd petilil encounter! Onwards to the city for gym 3!
