ANOTHER ONE! I know some people are used to getting shinies regularly, but I am not one of those people
So I’m super happy to say that I’ve ended my 2nd longest hunt after
29,331 Headbutts, on my 131st encounter of the day, I found a
second Shiny Aipom! Since it’s a duplicate though, it won’t count towards my BQ. (That’s 3 duplicates during this BQ…I suppose technically I’ve found enough shinies to be done
).

As most of you know, I’ve become pretty fond of completing evolutionary lines, rather than just getting one shiny per line. And given that Aipom is not only has a nice shiny color, but is also pretty hard to find in 4th/5th gen (only by using Honey Trees on Platinum or Headbutting on HG), I’m SO glad I was lucky enough to find a second one. I didn’t know if I’d have it in me to go back and try to find another one if I found Heracross first.
This one is male, Hasty, Thoroughly cunning, Run Away (kinda wanted one of them to have pickup, but oh well!), and has the IVs: 15 – 20 – 6 – 22 – 3 – 10. Not the greatest, but at least Attack isn’t awful, and it has a Speed boosting nature…So this one will become Ambipom!
And now I’m leaving Azalea Town and will head to Route 7 (or a similar Route, but I like the look of this best). As neat of a shiny as Aipom is, there’s not really any point in finding more than 2 if I can find a different pokemon. So since the Kanto routes have Combee instead of Aipom in trees with Heracross, I may as well go there (and hope for a 12.5% female if one does shine – though one male is okay, too!). Phase 4 begins!
Good luck, everyone (especially markasdarkas, RaichuArcanine, pokemaster13, Tina, jrmftw, Lorde, Keane, Shy, Ruru_star, Roseheart95, RedJirachi, skilax1234, and Lunafloon)!
