Congrats to Scherzando on Honedge, Manakete-Girl on the Vulpix, Paraqua on Wimpod, Manakete-Girl on Minior, and on the other shinies since my last post!
Thanks for the congrats, Paraqua :]

Sooo remember how I said I hoped to find fewer useless duplicates this year? Yeah, that’s not going so well…After
7,039 REs on Black 2, I find yet another duplicate…A 5th
shiny Altaria.

Mind you, I’m repel tricking for Vulpix (and I’ll take a Marill), which are both normally 10%. Altaria is normally 5%. So I should have 4x as much a chance of actually getting one of my targets than getting an Altaria. Yet what have 2 of my 3 shinies been since taking on this hunt? Altaria. It’s quite frustrating, and I’m very much over my inexplicably terrible luck with finding useless duplicates that don’t even have some exceptionally high appearance rate (Altaria here are around 20%. That last Machop was around 27%. Bibarel are 30%, and comprise 4 of my 5 shinies from that route). Going to continue trying for Vulpix (my games have to stop torturing me eventually, right? Well, probably not…).
Good luck, everyone (especially
