In 2024, I found 78 1/8192 shinies, which is a lot better than the 6 shinies I found in 2023. Here are just a few of my favorites, including some stats!

Total Encounters: 618,707
Average Per Shiny: 7,932

Shiny Zigzagoon in Sapphire after 6,030 REs. Phase 20 for Minun

Shiny Zigzagoon in Ruby after 3,216 REs. Phase 19 for Minun

Shiny Spoink in Ruby after 9,360 REs! This took 4 phases and a total of 22,086 REs (5,521 Avg)

Shiny Electrike in Sapphire after 5,880 REs. Phase 18 for Minun

Shiny Game Corner Eevee after 8,040 bought! I really like shiny Flareon in gen 4 so I decided to hunt another Eevee and evolve it into one

Shiny Pidove #4 in White after 6,094 REs. Phase 7 for Timburr. At least this one is female. This is also my 250th shiny

Shiny Tympole #4 in White after 20,227 REs. Phase 6 for Timburr. This is also my 73rd shiny this year which is my new record for shinies found in a year, hopefully I find a few more before the year ends

Shiny Pidove #3 in White after 3,657 REs. Phase 5 for Timburr. Somehow got another male which makes 3/3. Hopefully my next Pidove is female lmao. Also at 2 shinies found today so far

Shiny Pidove #2 in White after 2,529 REs! Phase 4 for Timburr. Was hoping to get a female one since my last one was male so I could have both Unfezant forms, but maybe next time

Shiny Tympole #3 in Black after 9,799 REs! Phase 3 for Timburr

Shiny Pidove in White after 7,220 REs! Really happy it's male because I'm a pretty big fan of shiny male Unfezant, looking forward to evolving it. Phase 2 for Timburr

Shiny Tympole in Black after only 2,503 REs! Phase 1 for Timburr

Shiny Blitzle in Black after 3,970 REs! This took 2 phases and a total of only 4,684 REs

Shiny Patrat in Black after only 714 REs! Phase 1 for Blitzle. Was actually hoping to phase on Patrat so I'm pretty stoked

Shiny Tympole in White after 23,555 REs! Was looking for either this or Timburr so I'm either gonna continue hunting here for Timburr or maybe take a break and do something else

You're looking like my guy at all times

Shiny Snivy in Black after 22,212 SRs! This completes the trio (for the 2nd time). Can't wait to do a bunch of hunts in Unova!

Just hit double odds for Snivy, unfortunately wasn't able to hunt at all yesterday but I'm back at it and gonna keep grinding tonight. Hopefully Snivy shines soon :)

I'm about to start hunting a lot of gen 5 soon so my list might change a bit in the near future, but currently, my top 5 games to hunt in are:

1. Ruby/Sapphire
2. HeartGold/SoulSilver
3. Platinum
4. Black/White/Black2/White2 (They're the same for me)
5. FireRed/LeafGreen

Currently at 12k for Snivy in Black/White. This is my 6th Unova starter hunt, and my only one to go over odds which is kinda funny considering my first Snivy took only 356. Hopefully I can get it soon, been hunting quite a bit but the hunt is very slow. (getting around 300 an hour on 6 systems)

I'm hunting Minun using 3 Sapphires and 3 Rubys

Shiny Gulpin in Sapphire after 14,154 REs. Phase 17 for Minun

Doing a quick phase for Minun (Phase 17) then gonna try to get Snivy in BW. Hopefully Snivy will be underodds just like all my other Unova starters, super excited to grind out some 5th gen shinies

Shiny Oshawott in White after 8,036 SRs! Just need to get Snivy now

Taking a little break from gen 3 and doing some Unova starters. Going from exclusively doing gen 3 REs for the last 2 months to this is certainly something lol

A few of my shinies from the last few months!

Zangoose in Ruby, 1,488 REs, 16 Phases
Seviper in Sapphire, 13,404 REs, First Phase
2% Plusle in Ruby, 1,692 REs, Phase 11 for Minun
10% Smeargle in SoulSilver, 22,200 REs, Phase 1 for Natu
