Welcome to 'Wanted!' a game where you go Catch or Hatch the target shiny Pokémon! If you catch the target Pokémon it will count as 3 points toward your flair! Each user is allowed extra flair points for one (1) Pokémon for Wanted! event - any extras will be considered 1 flair point as usual. We ask that you add the date of capture to your pictures (this can be found in the Pokémon's summary). Good Luck! Have Fun!
PSA
We recommend setting your system's date to the correct day, month and year to help the mods when using the flair verification.
Be sure to take pictures for verification as soon as possible - transferring (such as to another gen via Pokémon Bank) will replace caught date with transfer date and your Pokémon will no longer be verifiable!
The Wanted! Pokemon for this month is...
Bouffanlant!

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

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 😭🤣)
r/ShinyPokemon • u/tessamackyo • 8h ago
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.

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

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!

13422 encounters total. The previous two phases were a Budew then Roselia. started this hunt 2-3 years ago after successfully finding a Carnivine.
My overall Safari Zone record is up to 2-3, with both successes being my targets!
