Christmas has been lucky for me so far. In Go I caught a Piplup and then an hour later managed to catch a holiday Stantler. Meanwhile in Shield I started to hunt for a shiny Vulpix and managed to catch a purple 4star Mr Rime. I am now continuing my hunt for Vulpix.

Yesterday I bred a Koffing and a Cubone on my Virtual Console Silver and Crystal. They both hatched within 10 minutes of turning on my 2 3DSs, which wasn't a bad start for my daily Gen II breeding. On Go, I got a Snover this morning.
Aside from those good happenings, I have been soft-resetting my Shield for a Shiny Regirock (got the Charm) since Halloween and still no luck. I fear I may lose my mind soon.

Finally! After well over 1000 murder encounters, I finally ran into and caught a shiny Sandygast.

Now back onto my shiny Sobble hunt.

Got a Skarmory in PoGo and on crystal a Rhyhorn through breeding yesterday at the end. Then I switched Rhyhorn for Kangaskhan and today the first damned egg was immediately a shiny, swear I'm not making that up.

Edit: I replaced that Kangaskhan with Horsea, went through all the Kangaskhan eggs I had (I frequently check for new eggs so I always work in bulk, but hatch in the order received) and the second Horsea was also Shiny. Lucky me.

My shiny Sobble hunt is finally over! After over 1000 eggs, Bubble07 hatched from his egg.

Congrats. Long egg hunts suck but are quite satisfying when completed. Great name by the way.

As for my on shiny hunting I got a Snively in Go and in Shield I got an Eldegoss and Aurorus while searching for Kyogre. Right now I am continuing my hunt for Kyogre.

Thanks! Definitely.

Nice.

And just now, a second shiny Sobble hatched from an egg! Named him Buster Keaton.


Caught a shiny Machop in Go. Planning on moving it to Home and then into Let's Go and then over to Shield.

After giving up on the Scorbunny hunt, I picked up the Treecko hunt a few weeks ago but put the game on backburner for a while. Unfortunately, tested positive for COVID a few days ago so I'm cooped up and decided to pick up my Treecko hunt again. Probably about 200 eggs later, the torquoise frog popped out. I'll try and upload a photo later.

It's Impish with flawless stats in everything but Attack and Defense. Will mint and bottle cap later.

Long overdue update, but my LG BadgeQuest is finally done after many years lol. After getting training up Ponyta and beating the 8th Gym, I decided to get another shiny before challenging the E4. Did a quick 1320 SR hunt at the Celadon Game Corner to get this:

After that I beat the E4 and am planning on hunting more once I unlock the post game islands

After completing the Treecko hunt, I moved over to Sobble and a few days later a shiny Sobble was mine. It inherited Sniper as it's ability, mild as it's nature, and 31/0/31/31/31/x so I'll need to mint it but I'm stoked. Time to EV train it.

EDIT: And add a shiny Litten to the new list. It unfortunately inherited Blaze instead of Intimidate, so it'll need to be Ability Capsule'd. It's Timid in nature, and it's 31/x/31/31/31/31 so most likely will be getting minted and bottle capped.

EDIT #2: Spent the better part of today on and off shiny hunting Dhelmise and it shined for me tonight. It's Mild in nature with 31/31/31/0/x/31 so it'll need to be minted and bottle capped to fix those issues. Overall, this was probably my second longest hunt after Litten.

EDIT #3: And my shiny luck continues as Rowlett popped out on the 155th egg. I figured it'd take least 250 eggs before it shined. But it came out with Long Reach. It's Gentle in nature with 0/31/31/31/31/31 IVs. I think I'm going to take a break for a few hours and EV train these new guys.

Ever since 2021, I made a target of getting at least 1 Shiny per month in Pokemon Go. Got a Shiny Chimchar in the middle of the month, then a Shiny Machop on its Community Day. Mirror Traded it with the leader of my community, then evolved it to Shiny Machoke using Rare Candies and evolved it again instantly straight up to Shiny Machamp since a traded Machop doesn't need Candies to evolve to Machamp once it becomes a Machoke.
