Congrats to ShadowRadon on Snivy, Shadowkrow on Oshawott, Keovix on Mewtwo and Virizion, Ampharos_Spark on Shroomish, Slushie on Zubat, and everyone else on your shinies!
Thanks for the congrats, Shadowkrow and Ampharos_Spark
Sorry to hear about your cat, Heliotrope. Hope she’s alright! Don’t beat yourself up over it though; even
if there was something you could have done, worrying yourself over it won’t solve anything

Thanks! Congrats on your badge quest it looks like its going nicely, and are you getting ho-oh for your 8th badge? Does it count for it?
Thanks
I don’t think I fight Ho-Oh until after I get the 8th badge, so since I’m continuing my BQ through Kanto, I’m planning on going for it for my 9th Badge.

Poliwag is now Poliwhirl! Except I forgot to keep leveling her up, so she’s at 39 right now instead of 43 like the rest…Beat the 6th gym and am now ready for gym 7, just as soon as I find my next shiny!
I think I’m going to make Poliwhirl a bit of an HMer. So in addition to Hypnosis, I’ll give her Whirlpool and Waterfall (the latter would also make for a good physical STAB move, basically the only one Poliwhirl has unless Dive is considered good). I might even give her Surf as well, but at the same time, I might just want to leave Body Slam or something else on for when I have her battle…
I also have the live video of my Poliwag uploaded! You can kind of sort of barely notice a difference when it appears
At least I actually did notice it, which once again boosts my confidence anytime I’m hunting a pokemon and wondering, “Will I be able to tell when it’s shiny?” (Piplup did this to me as well)
So now on to my next hunt which will be for Ratata at Sprout Tower, and Oddish at Ilex Forest at night. If by chance I end up finding a shiny Paras, who can learn False Swipe (in addition to sleep powder and stun spore), I’ll most likely postpone Ratata for a while. I’d still like a shiny Ratata at some point, but there are definitely some other pokemon that would take priority over Ratata right now. But Paras is only 15% and only when I hunt at night, so it doesn’t seem likely…
I’m still just really happy I found this shiny Poliwag so soon
Good luck on all your hunts, everyone!
