Heya guys and girls! Congrats to everyone, as usual. Half congrats/sympathies to CP for that Magby... It's nice to get a shiny, sure, but Growlithe is an evil, evil Pokémon that must shine for you soon. Hopefully it does! Fingers crossed for you, as well as anyone else struggling with their hunt lately.
Well, I'm back with a new shiny! After I got Woodrow the Sudowoodo, I continued with the game and eventually got to the Lake of Rage and started completing the plot around there. I eventually found myself in the Rocket HQ running around causing havoc with Lance. We got to the Electrode machine and I felt this sudden urge to maybe try and see how I go with a Runaway Hunt. I began hunting and the more I did it the more I wanted a shiny Electrode. It was just one of those things that sort of took on a life of its own. It wasn't a planned thing, but I thought I should take the opportunity while I had it and then it got more exciting the longer it went on. Just when was this ball going to turn blue? It took me a week, basically for this to appear:

It is such an amazing blue. I was afraid I might have missed one because I've been watching TV at the same time, and it's easy to go through the motions of fleeing a battle without really paying attention sometimes. Anyway, I had my game in sleep mode, but hunting for an hour and a half wasn't doing anything for me, so I decided to reset. After half an hour - Kaboom! I saw this blue shape rush across the screen and the shock washed over my body. Pretty cool. I have no idea what sort of moveset to even give him ... or her.
I have to laugh at the last picture. I can't really imagine an Electrode stretching out. Unless it looked like a deflated basket ball or something?
I have a hunch what my next hunt will be, but I'm not too sure right now. We'll have to see what happens.
Good luck, everyone!
