Thanks

I completely empathize with that 20k hunt, but luckily you got rewarded with an awesome shiny

And luckily for me, the second Nidoran F didn't really bother me that much...A nice shiny, and a very fast hunt (and in hindsight, just a few REs before actually finding a male, so that part no longer bothers me), so I didn't have much to complain about

Those bird pokemon I can definitely feel your pain with. I haven't really dealt much with duplicates during a BQ, but I imagine it's more annoying than usual when it happens in a BQ rather than just a regular hunt =\
Good luck with Litwick...While I'm not a huge fan of that family, Litwick is without a doubt a great looking shiny, so he/she will surely be worth however many REs it takes (but not too long, hopefully :x). And as a side note, it's cool that you've now got your namesake pokemon in shiny form, so congrats on that, and good luck with your other favorite pokemon!
