So I've been waiting for a rumble mon to return from Route 102 since it had a Retro Egg. I was just hoping for it to be Shiny regardless of if it's Poochyena, Zigzagoon, or Taillow.

Turns out it's a Retro Celebi egg.

PlzBeShiny.

I actually don't know if I've ever had a worse selection of Pokemon from actual people than the ones who just joined my Scarlet raid from online.


They brought an Eiscue, a Dragonite, and a Mewtwo. To a 5 Star Rock type Snorlax raid. Yes they died multiple times. I think EACH.

You received a Plushie from Sharktibolt!


It has been SOOOOO LOOOOOONG! Finally I have this one! 😁

So an update on the Dream World Giratina plushie per Riako's feed. It is supposed to be Origin form in the Dream World, Riako will fix it when he can as he is sick.

YES, second Iron Hands is a Shiny!

I just saw what the next Dream World distribution Plushie is.


Let me just say it is WILD to use the same Giratina Plushie for both Trick or Treat and Dream World, when there's another form that's only had I believe one release to date.

LET'S GOOOOO, I finally got a Shiny Retro from Trick or Treating!

Congratulations! A shiny Magby hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #106)!


Let's go, #3 and done with the line, I can move on to the new Paradox mons!

Not gonna lie, I totally expected the next pair to be Scream Tail and Iron Bundle just because those are the next two you encounter in the games after the Donphan ones, but I'm TOTALLY fine with Brute Bonnet and Iron Hands as Iron Hands is probably my favorite Paradox mon.


Plus if we have two months to do this I don't see a need to stop/pause my hunt when I'm just one Shiny away from being done anyway. 🙂

I just had the strangest not-Shiny encounter in Scarlet.

I am at a Blitzle outbreak and am just auto-battling. My Pokemon suddenly refuses to attack one. So I look at it, and it looks normal. I try auto-battle a few more times, each time my Pokemon won't fight it. I look at it REALLY close but it still looks normal. But I save and encounter it.

There's no Shiny sparkle. It is just a regular Blitzle. So I just run, and THEN my Pokemon will now fight it. 😵

Congratulations! A shiny Magby hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #46)!


Yo let's GO! I had enough powerorbs for one egg hatch and picked the right one! 🤣

Submission #1, 9 days ago:

You scored Rank #77 with 10 Hoenn Tonic(s). Good job!
You won 500 Festival Points!

Submission #2, today:

You scored Rank #81 with 15 Hoenn Tonic(s). Good job!
You won 750 Festival Points!


I think personally I'm really not a fan of the berry events. There's a lot of luck and time needed to get good results and I personally have neither. The stupid Drash Berry especially seemed to keep not levelling up.

Congratulations! A shiny Rattata hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #137)!


Well, that's it for that hunt. Now do I jump into another one or just get lab eggs?

Congratulations! A shiny Rattata hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #93)!


Yay, first one!

OH MY GOD! IT FINALLY HAPPENED! 244 eggs to do it, over I don't know how many months or years even but I FINALLY got a Mega Able Cottonblu!


And now I set a rule for myself I wouldn't do another Shiny hunt until I hatched a Mega Able Cottonblu. Since my Arceus hunt ended with the last Shiny being September 22nd LAST YEAR, my only Shiny hunt was Gastly for the Easter event, and that was mainly just because I thought "may as well do a chain while I'm at it".


So now.......what do I hunt? 🙃 I'm down for any simple hunt that's not already in my Shinies box.

Well I've just completed the Alolan Rattata line as Shiny purely from the Alola Rumble map.


As much as I am happy to do that, I do wish my Shinies could maybe be one of the exclusive ones (Raichu, Exeggutor, Marowak) and NOT ones I can hunt outside the map. 😂

Yeeeeees Mega Able Carvanha from the lab! And ACTUALLY one of the many I still needed!

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


LET'S GO!!! About time I caught something from using Super Honey! I swear every time I use it, things find a window frame of time where I'm not paying attention to show up and eat all the honey.

So I was convinced to going back to Let's Go and mainly just to get far enough that I felt ok to just transfer Pokemon from Home to the game to complete the Dex for the Shiny Charm.


Turns out you CAN'T transfer Pokemon from Home into the game. I can just work on evolving and catching some of my missing Pokemon but otherwise for stuff like exclusives I have to use Go or something.

I just randomly found a Shiny Alpha Paras just flying around waiting for a distortion! With this one, my Shiny Alphas are now:

Shinx
Beautifly
Kricketot
Floatzel
Mothim (first one)
Paras
Psyduck
Heracross
Yanmega
Basculegion
Gliscor
Abomasnow


And I genuinely did not know now many I had until I counted them just now out of curiosity.
