Bah. They aren't very good friends tbh. They sh*t on your shoes, fart in your face and they keep ignoring you :I Living by the sea is far more fun. You can be friends with the Haddock
Wow, you really do have bad luck oO No, I haven't ever had a completely random shiny since Ho-Oh :C I try not to go there as much as possible though, after hearing all these tragic stories about lost shinies ;o;
I would go for Umbreon, Espeon, or Vaporon probably. The rest aren't very noticeable tbh ;o; That's another hunt I MUST do :B Ugh, it's hard to pick which hunt to do ;o; I always pick nicknames as I hun for my shines as well, just incase I happen to get it and don't know what to call it ;o; For example, if I had a Umbreon, I would call it Twinkle, Espeon Nemesis, Vaporeon Amethyst, and such ;o;
