Alright, it's been a while since I last posted, too long if you ask me. But I started up yet another year of college, this week being week #3 and my shiny hunting and personal time in general has decreased significantly. So (I hat to do this but...) I would like to give my congrats to everyone on their latest shinies! Especially to those of you who have ended long hunts like Cyberra and Cpchris (even if it is only one, but I'm sure the others will soon appear)!
But I didn't just post to complain about how school is ruling my life or to cop out on congrats; I came because I have news!
On August 24th my third badge quest target shown in my Black 2! After losing my shiny Eevee at 2,969 repel encounters I resumed hunting like a mad woman, and finally after 9,209 (or 6,245 REs after the first shiny) my
second shiny Eevee appeared! He was unfortunately male with a crappy nature (but as I don't battle competitively I don't really care too much), being sassy and capable of taking hits. So I evolved him into Glaceon and named him Caspian!

I got pretty close to losing him too. He had broken out of 6 great balls, 2 premiereballs, and 20 poke balls all the while being at half health (was too afraid I'd get a crit to do any more than that) and he had knocked out all of my pokemon except my illuminate Watchog before I finally caught him in a poke ball.
But wait there's more!!!
I was going to post today regardless, but fortune decided to smile upon me (either that or the universe was feeling sorry for me) because today while I was stuffed in a van with12 sweaty college students while waiting to enter the prairie sanctuary that was the location of my ecology field trip my 4th B2 BQ shiny shined after a nice 5,098 encounters! It totally freaked me out because the whole way there I was thinking
how ironic would it be if I got my shiny during the trip?

Shiny Sandile was exactly what I was hoping for! Even if her Brave nature and Intimidate ability weren't exactly what I was hoping for. But I've wanted a shiny Krookodile ever since I first laid eyes on it, so I'm okay with it.
I named her Prairie temporarily just so I could give her a name and save real quick (it was the first thing that came to mind okay?). But I am looking for a better name for her so if you have any suggestions let me know! And before I forget...
Community Hunt Complete!!!
Been a while since I last got to say that. It feels good! Anyway good luck to everyone on your hunts!
(Any ideas what I should hunt for next on my BQ?)
Edit:
Holy crap guys I don't even...
Just hatched a shiny Zorua on my White 2 after only 40 eggs! Sure I used the shiny charm plus MM but my last SC MM hunt was Feebas and even that took 605 eggs. She literally just hatched less than ten minutes ago, why haven't I ever actually seen any of my shines hatch? They all just randomly show up when I look down! Anyway I don't have a name for her yet (any suggestions?) and she is hasty pretty good nature (I think...) and likes to thrash about.
I've never really liked shiny Zoroark, but looking at pictures now I might just evolve her and try going for a second Zorua 'cause I love their blue so much! I'll upload a pic when I get the chance.
