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.

Got a Shiny Orthworm!

Just got crazy lucky/unfortunate in Scarlet. I'm at a Frigibax outbreak just picnic resetting, no sandwich. On one reset a group of Avalugg and 4 Bergmite spawn in, and what's on the ends of the Bergmite group? TWO Shiny Bergmite.


Like that's only the second time I've had 2 Shinies at one time that I can remember, first being at a Masquerain outbreak. But couldn't it have been the FRIGIBAX I was hunting? 😂 I didn't even need a Bergmite.

Congratulations! A shiny Timburr hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #53)!


Wooo, first one comes quick enough!

Finally got my first Zeraora encounter for this year's event. If I add up my interactions from the 25th to now, that took about 17.5K interactions if I'm not mistaken. o.o

Now that we're off the Paldea Research again, I think it's time to do another Shiny hunt. And upon using a random Pokemon generator, I have been given Gurdurr, and thus shall be hunting Timburr once these current eggs hatch.

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


Awesome! It's a new one too!

Oh that's nuts, I already have a Mega Able Autumn Mareep. That was MILES and MILES quicker than Cottonblu. For reference:


Cottonblu Eggdex: 245 hatched

Autumn Mareep eggdex: 13 hatched 😆


Now the question is do I just move onto breeding another Emera Mega, or do I Shiny hunt?

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


ANOTHER instance of it's a line I've already completed, but it's a Shiny! 🤣

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


I mean, hey, it's a line I've completed, but it's a Shiny!

Lab Shiny Pidove!

I got a Shiny Poochyena brought back from Route 102! Not a Rumble exclusive obviously, but I didn't have one so I'm happy!

Congratulations! A shiny Cryogonal hatched out of one of your eggs (Chain #135)!


Oh finally, I can be done with this one. One last egg to hatch and I can resume lab eggs.

So I just noticed a nice detail in Sword (and presumably Shield) with the Daycare.


The lady you speak to to get the eggs, if she has an egg for you, she will have her arms up with a hand on her chin like she's thinking. If she has no egg, her arms are just down by her side.
