Requiem Aeternam
Dance like an eggplant!
Congrats to everyone on their new shinies
After 1684 eggs I finally hatched another shiny female Nidoran. Only problem is, it's stats are wrong yet again. Surprise, surprise the attack IV was the IV that was randomly generated. The one IV I needed from the parents, the only one I can't fix with Hyper Training, and it gets randomly generated, and it's not 0. I honestly wanted to cry with frustration when I saw it, this hunt is frustrating me to no end. Shinies are taking ages to appear even though I have the Charm and I'm using the MM which doesn't bother me on its own but when the shinies take ages to appear and still end up with the wrong stats, it really makes me wonder why I'm even bothering. To make things worse, all 4 of the non-shiny Nidoran in the batch had 0 attack. 4 shinies from this hunt so far and all of them have been wrong. It's soul destroying.
I admire those who have the patience to endure long hunts but my patience with this hunt ran out when the first shiny hatched. Next time I go for a purely special attacking shiny, I'm just going to use the Power Bracer so I don't have to go through this nightmare again. Luckily the next one I have in mind (Decidueye) doesn't need any specific IVs outside of the usual 31s which can be fixed with Hyper Training so that's just a matter of getting the egg moves, nature and then just hatching a shiny.
I was a lot more frustrated and angry over this earlier (the shiny hatching at 1am didn't help) but now that I've had time to cool off I can get myself together and press on. I suppose the longer the hunt, the more rewarding it feels to actually get the shiny you want, so that's reason enough to keep going. I just hope it doesn't take 3 games and 2 generations to get the correct shiny like my Zorua hunt did.
Good luck to everyone in their hunts
EDIT: OMG, OMG, OMG! I'd left 18 eggs in Pelago while I was at work and in the fifth egg (1720 total) I hatched another female shiny Nidoran. AND IT HAS 0 ATTACK! I am so happy right now, this hunt is done. All that effort has paid off. She's Calm natured through Everstone, as all my shiny Nidoran were, has Poison Point (the ability I wanted), and is in a Safari Ball. I need to Hyper Train her special defence but that's perfectly fine by me
