I cannot believe the random luck that was bestowed upon me. 😂


I have basically just decided that I would be interested in collecting the 3 forms of Tatsugiri, including their Shiny versions. Some Pokemon with multiple forms I just don't care about collecting all of them, like all the Alcremie versions or the different colors of the Flabebe line. Tatsugiri was one of those, but I don't know why, I saw a yellow Tatsugiri outbreak and went 'you know what, let's get them all'.


So I'm at this yellow Tatsugiri outbreak looking for one with a mark to catch because why not, and there's a random pink one around, which somehow happens to have a mark. The orange one was the one I had for the regular and Shiny versions previously, so I scooped up the pink one while it was there AT THE YELLOW TATSUGIRI OUTBREAK.


AND IT HAS THE RARE MARK. 🤣 This random Tatsugiri, which wasn't even the form I had the outbreak for, is my first Rare Mark Pokemon.

So tomorrow is the Pokemon Presents. I've only got two things I want to say before it happens.


First, I want a trailer for Legends ZA that gives me the same excitement the second Legends Arceus trailer gave me. That second Arceus trailer where they revealed Hisuian forms, Alpha Pokemon, ride Pokemon, Agile/Strong style, etc. THAT trailer sold me on the game. I'm wanting for one of those for this game.


And second, I would not be surprised if tomorrow they drop Colliseum and/or XD on NSO. Maybe they don't, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Let's go, a Mega Able Winter Mareep finally.


Slowly but surely I will dwindle this list of missing Megas. 😂

So jumped in Scarlet to get Plusle and Minun from the new outbreak event. Found Minun real quick at the first outbreak, didn't even get a message, but Plusle took running through FOUR outbreaks to find one.


I was really looking forward to finding one to see if I could see the difference. I compared it to one nearby and could not see a difference.


But as it turns out, that one was ALSO Shiny. 😂

Congratulations! A shiny Mr. Bagon hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #104)!


Oh good, finally the last one I needed, the hunt is over after this last egg. And I've used all the powerorbs I had to get it up to a Sir Shelgon.

Congratulations! A shiny Mr. Bagon hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #65)!


Nice to get another one so quick after restarting the chain since the Paldea Research ended. 😀

Look! A wild Teddiursa () ( SHINY) is eating your honey!


Always great to find a Shiny you need at the tree.

Oh wow, my Shadow luck has been pretty good, I think I have the first Shadow Kyogre.

I broke the drought finally. After 385 DA Pokemon caught, I have a Shiny Eldegoss. Which is awesome as I didn't have one yet!

I am in pain with Dynamax Adventures in Sword. I am now 0 for 350 Pokemon caught being Shiny, with the 1 in 100 odds with the Shiny Charm. 😫 Like I don't even care if its the Legend at the end, I just want SOMETHING.

The Shadow Groudon has been caught successfully!


Well that took a FEW Ultra Balls, but Shadow Groudon is mine!

*sees I hatched a Mega Able Shuppet*


Oh, nice.


*sees I still didn’t have a Mega Banette*

OH! NICE! 😆

Well, it had to start happening eventually, but today marks the first day I only have 1 new Hoenn Shadow mon to search for. the other 4 are dupes.

I just had the BEST accidental Shiny get I've maybe ever had.


Rufflet/Hisuian Braviary is the last Shiny I need in Arceus that is available from MMOs. Otherwise its stuff like Unown letters or Eeveelutions and all the Distortion exclusive mons. I had yet another fail from a Rufflet outbreak and reset to get the Aguav berries back. But upon restarting, I looked at Rufflet's Pokedex entry to see what I needed to do to complete its Dex to max the Shiny boost odds. Basically just use its attacks, and I had to defeat 2 more.


I figured let me fly back to the outbreak to defeat 2 there for that part, then I'll grab my Rufflet and go do the attack tasks.


A SHINY SPAWNED FROM THE PERMUTATION. Like if it wasn't exactly two I needed to KO, like if it was one or three or four even, that Shiny would not have likely been spawning.


So now I'm done with all the MMOs. I still need Combee, Cherubi, and Eevee for MOs, but otherwise its Unown letters and Distortion exclusives.

The Shadow Latias has been caught successfully!


Well I think I can say that's probably the Shadow event in effect. 😆

Shadow Radar says:
You found 2 in a row so far!

The Shadow Lombre has been caught successfully!


I was just trying to see my 5 for the day and was intentionally trying to break the chain. This was literally my first Hoenn check, I don't know my other 4. 🤣 Makes up for the 100+ chain ones I've had.

Oh let's go, Shiny Baby Ducklett! Currently one of six in the game which is cool.

The Pokémon was holding an Old Vinyl Piece!

The Shadow Cascoon has been caught successfully!


I forgot I had the Old Vinyl task as well, so a very nice first Shadow Hoenn catch!

Congratulations! A shiny Mr. Bagon hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #48)!


Honestly? I only made this a chain for a Mega Able, and because the eggs were plentiful enough. So if I can get a full Shiny line AND a mega able, I’ll be happy.

Congratulations! A shiny Timburr hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #183)!


Nice, #3. Chain's done, so I just have the last 3 eggs in my party and I can let the other eggs in daycare go to Tall Grass.
