Rath Man

There is so much wrong with this, thanks I hate it

a man in a blue hat is standing in front of a building that has the letter f on it Alt: A guy in an urban setting doing the naruto run

I hope you collected it like this

I can only hope :)

Well, it was fun while it lasted. At least it was only 399 encounters so I can't really complain, surely phase 6 will give me my shroom ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I'm conflicted whether to be happy or upset over this revelation

(both soundtracks slap tho)

Thanks, and I hope so!

Sending out male Lv6 shiny Taillow against a wild male Lv6 non-shiny Taillow in German Pokémon Emerald

Yeah I haven't really posted on bluesky, but only because I haven't found shinies and I don't use social media outside of archiving my shinies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But now I phased once again for Shroomish: Shiny Taillow after 21.171 encounters, relaxed nature (terrible), I'm just happy it's not a pooch :)

Well that's not a good omen for the new year

2020/11/11

Encountered my very first hunted shiny and the first member of my Diamond DTQ after 5779 REs, I'm so hyped to press on right now! (ಥ﹏ಥ)
Thanks again @_miketroid and his community for introducing me to shiny hunting!

2020/11/17

Just accidentally fled from a shiny budew after 1328 encounters. Didn't expect I'd experience the ups AND downs of shiny hunting this early.

Finally reclaimed Budew after 18830 random encounters! I will still be staying in Eterna Forest for Murkrow though.

2020/12/31

Looks like a got myself a New Year's Eve shiny after only 3956 encounters (phase 2 though, but phase 1 was under odds too), and it even was my target!

2021/01/02

My first shiny of 2021, and a blazingly fast hunt too with only 1025 REs! (Actually, it's even my fastest hunt so far)

Taking a break during the Hippo hunt for my DTQ with #SafariWeek2021, and it's off to a good start with this pink boi after 4613 encounters! He even stayed in the fourth ball!

2021/09/19

Decided to start hunting in SoulSilver to make the shiny drought in my Diamond file less painful. We're off to a good start with a shiny Totodile at 1615 SRs/4845 seen! Its nickname is a tribute to @_miketroid's late Totodile that was released during his Crystal sleeplocke.

Male Lv75 non-shiny Parasect facing a wild Lv40 shiny Darkrai in German Pokémon Diamond

Status screen showing shiny Darkrai in German Pokémon Diamond: no nickname, jolly nature, caught in a Premier Ball on October 5th 2021 on Newmoon Island at Lv40, characteristic is "Impetuous and silly"

2021/10/05

Originally I started Darkrai in Diamond via void glitch for #WeekofLegends but I guess it decided to wait for October to be a halloween shiny after a horrendous 25,899 soft resets! Despite the low catch rate I still went for my trusty Premier Balls, and got it in the 29th one

Male Lv75 non-shiny Parasect facing a wild female Lv25 shiny Hippopotas in German Pokémon Diamond

2021/11/23

I started the Hippopotas hunt months ago with four Geodude phases, but now after I picked it up again after completing a casual BD run I literally got this Hippopotas after 28 more encounters - in total this phase took me 37,278 REs and the whole hunt was a grand total of 62,842!

Male Lv36 non-shiny Remoraid facing a wild female Lv36 shiny Sneasel in German Pokémon Diamond

Status screen showing shiny Sneasel in German Pokémon Diamond: female, no nickname, hasty nature, caught in a Premier Ball on December 2nd 2021 at Lake Valor at Lv36, characteristic is "Likes to run"

2021/12/02

Remember the Hippo barely a week ago? I guess my Diamond felt sorry because it gave me the last DTQ member, a hasty Sneasel after only 3,494 REs first phase, can't wait to evolve the remaining members and challenge the elite four - but first, shiny Dialga ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Male Lv17 non-shiny Paras facing a wild male Lv5 shiny Aipom in German Pokémon SoulSilver

Status screen showing shiny Aipom in German Pokémon SoulSilver: male, no nickname, sassy nature, caught in a Premier Ball on December 4th 2021 in Azalea City at Lv5, characteristic is "Impetuous and silly"

2021/12/04

I got a pink monkey while hunting for my DTQ - I wish I was talking about Chimchar in BDSP but no, I phased on Aipom after 15,584 Headbutts for Heracross in SS ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Though since it came only two days after the Sneasel and it's also the rarest Headbutt target, I can't be mad

2021/12/05

I- I don't know what to say, I just got the pink monkey I was actually looking for in Shining Pearl ON THE VERY SAME DAY I got Aipom in SoulSilver, after only 1075 resets! Anyway, it's sassy so good thing mints exist in this game ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°)

2021/12/16

I can't believe my shiny luck recently, shiny Misdreavus after only 584 REs in Eterna Forest, and it's what I actually needed for my DTQ! (Yeah, I'm doing a DTQ in Shining Pearl now :P)

Double wild Pokémon encounter with a shiny Wurmple on the left and a non-shiny Wurmple on the right in Pokémon Shining Pearl

2022/01/02

Went a bit over odds for this Wurmple (6351 REs), but it's definitely a great way to start the year! I appreciate that it's going to evolve into Silcoon, which I can't hunt directly in Shining Pearl's Eterna Forest... also shoutout to @Blademan545 for guessing the nature!

Decided to start another DTQ (this time Sword) a while ago and just now got the first member after 3,629 overworld encounters! Hope getting this one just under odds is a good omen for the rest of the team :)

2022/01/25

My gen 8 shiny luck is cracked, I decided to start a DTQ on my Shield file as well and only 1,366 encounters in I found this pretty little Nickit! So glad I could finish this hunt before pouring my entire Switch playtime into Legends Arceus ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Status screen showing shiny Kricketot in English Pokémon Legends: Arceus: male, no nickname, adamant nature, caught in a Jet Ball on February 2nd 2022 in the Obsidian Fieldlands at Lv7

Perfect dex level btw, so it was 1/1,024 odds

2022/02/02

Despite 30+ hours and a lot of investment in filling up dex entries I didn't find a shiny in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, until now :]
Was trying to find a shiny Starly in a mass outbreak, but the game had different plans
