Shiny gimmighoul in pokemon go from a coin bag.

Shiny Gholdengo registered to the paldea dex in pokemon go.

Gold Rush for the Goal!

I hunted shiny roaming gimmighoul and gholdengo in pokemon go earlier this month to move to my shiny living dex and I was successful in getting both!

I dont often count #shinypokemon from GO but these are some of the few exceptions

Shiny Scizor in SV

Shiny Scyther the Chosen One with the destiny mark in a nest ball, caught on July 9th

ChosenSigner's Chosen Ones!

I did some destiny mark shiny hunting on my birthday this month and I got my favorite pokemon shiny with the mark!

Square shiny yamper sparkles on electric terrain while it's raining.

Shiny yamper in a heal ball. Impish by nature. Caught on July 14th

I went fetch!

Was doing random encounters the other day and happened upon a shiny yamper, so I brought it back! This one was before cherubi, my Grand Quest for Arceus is still currently under way

#shinypokemon

Additionally, cherubi is the 950th unique shiny species of pokemon i have obtained!

Shiny carnivine in a nest ball in bdsp. Jolly by nature. Hatched on July 12th.

Shiny cherubi in a safari ball in swsh. Brave by nature. Hatched on July 18th.

Fresh fruit, right off the vine!

I hunted shiny carnivine and cherubi for my sinnoh shiny living dex, both in eggs and in unexpected balls! I already had a carnivine from hisui but I wanted one in a non ancient ball

Only one sinnoh #shinypokemon left to hunt! Come join the Grand Quest for Arceus!

I meant obtaining all 4* evolutions, but thats kind of obvious lol

Shiny plant cloak wormadam, in a nest ball, obtained on June 18th.

Shiny sandy cloak wormadam, in an ultra ball, obtained on June 23rd.

Shiny trash cloak wormadam, in a love ball, obtained on June 30th.

Shiny mothim, in a moon ball, obtained on July 6th.

Cloak OR Dagger? (Part 2)

The hard part of my burmy hunt was obtaining all 3 shiny evolutions, but also, obtaining them in desired pokeballs!

All in all I ended up getting every #shinypokemon of this family that i needed on the first phase, except for mothim which took 3 whole phases!

Shiny plant cloak burmy, in a nest ball, obtained on June 18th.

Shiny sandy cloak burmy, in an ultra ball, obtained on June 20th.

Shiny trash cloak burmy, in a love ball, obtained on June 24th.

Cloak OR Dagger? (Part 1)

Over the past few weeks I hunted every variety of burmy from eggs and it was a lot of coin flips for whether I could get them all quickly or if i would get stuck phasing. The easy part of course was obtaining one of each form of burmy in different cloaks

I'm really excited for this next video to finally debut! @zelgerath.bsky.social and I have been putting our very hearts and souls into this project lately, here's a little taste!

Its not a Grand Quest if there isn't a twist somewhere along the way!

There's still more chapters yet to be written on this odyssey, but I felt it only right to reobtain the first shiny i found in the sinnoh region all those years ago, and with the method I never grasped until very recently

Shiny male bidoof in an ultra ball, caught on 7/1, which is bidoof day

Shiny female bidoof caught in a luxury ball. It says caught on 7/2 but the clock on my switch is fast, it was also caught on 7/1, bidoof day

"Once, only a god could perform such a miracle! But today, mankind moves one step closer to the divine!"

I spent July 1st chasing after something gold...golden bidoof that is!

Yesterday was Bidoof Day so I had to celebrate by obtaining these perfect #shinypokemon lifeforms thru pokeradar chaining

888 pokemon registered to the go home pokedex

Full disclose I've lost track but I think I'm at 888/890?

As far as I know I should only be missing mudbray and mudsdale from the Pokémon Go Home Pokédex

Thank you!! And yeah, they really do! I kinda wanted the challenge of it but it wasn't too bad after all because it was under odds

Shiny Budew sparkles in Eterna Forest

Shiny Budew, in a heal ball, quirky by nature. Caught on June 16th

Old skills budding anew!

I took on a pokeradar hunt for budew in bdsp, something I am admittedly still rather novice at. But the odds played in my favor because I found a shiny patch nonetheless!

Only 4 sinnoh #shinypokemon left for me. The Grand Quest for Arceus continues!

Shiny Phione is sent out by Dawn in her platinum outfit on a beach as dusk sets in. A textbook reads, " Go on, Phione! I know you can do it!"

Shiny Phione in a pokeball, modest nature, hatched on June 13th

A blessing from the sea!

I took on the penultimate mythical #shinypokemon hunt in my sinnoh shiny living dex project, and phione hatched shiny in just 282 eggs!

But there's still yet more to the journey ahead before the Grand Quest for Arceus reaches its finale! 5 sinnoh pokemon to go!

I don't know how I feel about Hyper Training being locked behind a $20 pass and only capable for 1 Pokémon behind that one Pass.

Well, I do actually. It's bad.

If @calzoneoddish.bsky.social ate a super mushroom would he become super califragilisticexpialidocious zone? 🤔

YOU DID IT!!! It’s been amazing to witness your progress over the course of years. You have limitless determination, and I’m looking forward to watching you continue your Grand Quest!

Thank you!! Though we have set different challenges for ourselves, your own determination and endeavors spur me on to reach for further heights!

A Grand Quest, you say? That has a nice ring to it! Perhaps an epic of such a title foreshadows even greater adventures are ahead!

My shiny living dex now has Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn complete!

That's #0001 - #0386 and all of the accompanying forms, for a total of 525 unique looking boxable variations of Pokémon therein accounted for!

Shiny castform in a heal ball. Serious by nature. Hatched on June 9th.

Shiny rainy castform

Shiny snowy castform

Shiny sunny castform

Cloudy with a chance of shiny!

I did a bdsp egg hunt for castform, and subsequently obtained the last hoenn #shinypokemon I was missing! It's kind of a 4 in 1 shiny to boot!

Next I'm taking on the last shiny hunts of sinnoh!

I guess it's working as intended but sneak peek sure likes to do it's job when I already picked the correct card lol

They really need to just make the sneak peek guaranteed during these "events"

How the heck was there TWO articuno ex wonder picks this morning, one being a 2 star, and I STILL failed both of them with no sneak peek on either?!

Yoooooo grats!

It's been a hot minute since I showed my shiny living dex progress so I'll make a short update clip after the final hoenn hunt!

Dang I'm kind of embarrassed that I wasn't following a bunch of cool people already! It's hard to know when some have made the jump over to here

Shiny anorith hatches from an egg with star sparkles.

Shiny armaldo sent into battle shines with square sparkles.

Shiny anorith, sassy by nature, in a level ball, hatched on may 31st.

Shiny armaldo, docile by nature, in a heal ball, hatched on June 3rd.

An anomalocaris anomaly?!

I hunted anorith and armaldo through masuda method and they both came in under odds, and armaldo is a square shiny to boot!

Only 1 hoenn #shinypokemon left for me to hunt!

They're really rooting for me!

Did some masuda method hunts for lileep and cradily this week. I already had a lileep but I wanted one in a nest ball, and of course the heal ball matches cradily beautifully too! Isn't it cool how they get each others normal colors?
