First of all, sorry for the late post! I actually found this a month ago but have been busy since then.
Anyways, IT'S HERE! (spoiler because the image is huge, second link is the album with more pics
).
Shiny Oddish! Funnily enough was gonna finish for the night but wanted to do a few more encounters before the show I was watching finished, and green! It was one of those times where I didn't register at first. My thought process was like, "huh it's green..shiny!!"
I tried for this for three months back in 2018 after I got my first BQ shiny on this game, Squirtle and got two shiny Weedles and a Pidgey instead. After Eevee shone I moved east of Fuschia and ended up with a 7th Pidgey after only 2k res. So I decided to grab my level 14 Gastly and some repels and head above Cerulean again. With a level 14 and repels you get 100% Oddish (or Bellsprout if you are playing LG). This fella took exactly 15,000 res, making it my sixth longest RE shiny. I have evolved him to Vileplume and he is now named Hemlock
.
Right now on FR I'm after a shiny I've wanted for years..Lapras! Currently on 12,300ish srs for it. Afterwards I'm gonna hunt again on Leafgreen I reckon...I want my shiny Sandshrew!
How come there isn't discussion on other shiny subjects? Like about their color, thoughts on methods, ect?
Good question! I'm always up for this type of discussion
Personally my favourite method is MM. I find egg hatching relaxing and soothing. I also like RE and SR, although I used to hate it. 4th gen chaining started my hunting so it's special to me. Not a fan of SOS or chain fishing and I've never tried dexnav. Speaking of colour, am I the only one here who loves the Sandile line shiny? It seems to be one that people either love or hate.
I see there's been some discussion of finishing shiny trios so I wanted to weigh in. Starter wise, since I started hunting in 2011, I have the Kanto, Johto and Unova starters shiny. For Hoenn I'm missing Torchic, and in Sinnoh I'm missing Turtwig. Although I do have a second platinum fresh and ready to reset when I get around to BQing it, the turtle being my first target. Sadly I was only able to find good photos of my Kanto shiny starter trio, see below
Lastly I miss the community hunts. I'd love to see that or something like the shiny circuits of the old club come back. And I hope I get Lapras before 15k! Congrats and good luck all, I hope someone got something out of this long post
