What are you trying to hunt for?

I'm still hunting for a shiny Beldum. I think I'm well over 2k on it, in terms of murder encounters.

I grabbed a shiny Sneasel in the Dynamax Adventures.
It reminds me of the time my friend's cousin(?) cloned his shiny Sneasel and I managed to get one in Pokemon Silver.

Anyway, it's Impish, but unfortunately, it has a "No Good" Speed IV.
thats what bottle caps are for

Dang that's frustrating. I hope this hunt works out for you.

Continuing on my Omega Ruby hunting spree, I successfully used the DexNav to find a shiny Zorua! Took around 300 encounters, which seems to be some back luck, but didn't seem too bad once I found a rhythm on how to do it.

Then I went back to Shoal Cave for the horde hunting again, only this time I got what I didn't want, a shiny Zubat. Out of the 3 hordes there, that was the one I wanted least, but I can evolve it to a Crobat for my shiny collection so I still needed it ultimately.

Next goal is to SR for a shiny Registeel. I've never managed to SR for a shiny legendary yet, closest I've done was my shiny Nihilego. I'm expecting this one to be long.

Well, I'm completely stunned. My shiny Registeel hunt took me only 100-200 SRs. It caught me off guard, I barely even tested how to lower it's HP or anything, so I got really terrified that I'd crit it and ruin this. Thankfully, I caught it fairly fast by tossing some Dusk Balls at it. But yeah, that's officially my first shiny legendary through SR!

I have now gotten THREE shiny Sneasel. One from Shield Dynamax Adventures, and two from Pokémon Go. I DON’T NEED THREE

I WANT DIFFERENT SHINIES

I'm glad I remembered that shiny Alolan Grimer has the colors of normal Kanto grimer, otherwise I would have missed out on one shiny this week.

Also, in unrelated news, I finally got enough $$ together to buy a Switch Light, so now I can get back into the Let's Go games and more shiny opportunities since I'll be able to trade pokemon between games now. I lost interest in LGE when I started running out of money for pokeballs in the game.

AT LAST

I GOT SHINY TERRAKION

Got three more shinies through horde battling in OR: Zigzagoon, Oddish, and Numel.

The Numel was kinda funny cause after I got the shiny Oddish I went to the route before the Spinda one to see what hordes appeared there and it was the first Numel horde that I encountered with the shiny in it.

It’s Kalos season!
I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that I had a random shiny encounter (Shiny Shuckle in Sword) or that I wasn’t even looking for it.

Constantly slaughtering Tyrunt and Tyrantrum in the Crown Tundra while trying to find their shiny forms is fun!

I got a shiny Galarian Zigzagoon in a research encounter on Go today. I transferred it to Sword, and will be naming it Amanda. I wish it was male, but hey, it’s a great shiny.

Lucky you: I only got the regular shiny version
