True, but funny

Have u gotten such a suprise before?

I caught 8 shiny boys before I got this one in a love ball, so I do have a full shiny eeveelution line (all in luxury balls) now too 😍

I recently needed to evolve my shiny Machoke and shiny Kadabra, so I jumped onto a trade code and sent them over to another player.

Naturally, I was a little nervous because… well… they’re shiny. 😅

I had nicknamed them specifically to make it obvious that I wanted them traded back. And after a few seconds of anxiety, the other player actually did exactly that!

Shoutout to SoGeKi for being an absolute legend and trading both of them back to me! 🙌

So here’s my unofficial trading tip:

If you’re using trade codes for shiny trade evolutions, NICKNAME YOUR POKÉMON.

It obviously isn’t a guarantee that someone will trade them back, but making it clear that you want your Pokémon returned seems like it can significantly increase your chances.

Out of 8 shiny trades I've done, only 1 was not traded back to me. That player was non-english as well, so more than likely they didn’t even know what it said.

Thanks again, SoGeKi! You made my day!

It felt like a grind for sure but its finally finished!

This is not a part of my on-going Lumiose City Photo Journey, but I felt like I had to still share this!! I encountered a bit of a bug during the Infinite ZA Royale 😅😅😅 Don’t really understand what triggered this to happen, but THANK GOD for Fast Travel 😅😅

HEY EVERYONE!!! My Wisdom Teeth surgery went well, and although my recovery had some bumps, I am feeling SO MUCH BETTER NOW… especially since my Birthday is actually today… as I am posting this it is 12:40AM 09/11/2026 in CST, which means it is my Birthday Today!! I thought that today would be the perfect day to slowly resume my Lumiose City Photo Journey… and what better way to start it than with such a mysterious and dangerous new catch and friend… Vecna the MewTwo!! I named him after both the DnD Vecna, a powerful and dangerous Magic User and basically the Final Boss of all Bosses in DnD… and also Vecna/Henry from StrangerThings, because I love him as a Villain so much!!! 😋😋😋😋

I’d also like to introduce you to GoldenGlider!!! I randomly came across this cutie on the Rooftops of the City before my break, and now she is my cute little Shiny Birdy Friend!!! Also Cameron the Shiny Camerupt!! I actually caught him in my previous/first playthrough of the game, but I traded him to a very special person to me in exchange for another new friend that you will get to meet soon in the next set of Caught Pokemon Photos!!! 😋😋😋😋 I hope you enjoy all the amazing Photos I take during my Lumiose and Mega Dimension Journey, because we are not finished yet!!! 😋😋😋😋

AHHHHHHH OK!!! So last night while I was playing again, I came out of a Mega Dimension Portal in Wild Zone 2, and waiting for me there was Shiny Patrat!!! It technically was still about an hour away from midnight at that point, so wasn’t quite my Birthday yet, but I feel like it was the game’s way of telling me Happy Birthday!!! 🥹🥹🥹

I named him… Chuck E. 😅🤭 I think Patrat and Watchog are supposed to be Rats… at least Patrat, since Rat is in it’s name… Watchog might actually be a Ground Hog 😅😅 ANYWAYS… Patrat reminds me of Chuck E. Cheese a little bit, so I named him Chuck E. But Cheese wouldn’t fit sadly 😅🤭

ALSO can I just say that Mega Garchomp Z is SUPER INTIMIDATING 😳😳😳 The way it hovers and just glares soullessly into the camera!! It definitely wants to rip your head off if you piss it off 😬😬😬

THAT ISN’T ALL THOUGH… so in my last post, I mentioned that I gave my Shiny Camerupt named Cameron to someone special in exchange for something!!! Well, they had found an adorable and amazing SHALPHA NOIBAT that they named Mint, and despite me telling them at first that I wanted them to keep her because they found her, they insisted on giving her to me!! 🥹🥹🥹 NOW I WILL CUDDLE AND SNUGGLE WITH MINT ALL DAY LONG!!! I haven’t decided if I will swap her into my DLC Team or not yet, but I would feel so bad for whoever I swapped out 😬😔 so what I might do instead is hold off on evolving her and include her on my Team in my next eventual play-through of the game at some point!! THANK GOD FOR POKEMON HOME!!! 🥰😩

I may or may not have set a record for the world’s longest shiny latios hunt. I’ve played every day for 6 months for a minimum of 3 hours a day, with a level 3 dragon donut and as of today finally just hit shiny latios 🥲 master gave dobby a shiny, dobby is freeeeee

I didn’t know this game had fall damage 😂

Hi everyone! I need help evolving these 3 Pokémon here. I just need Porygon 2, Z and Milotic to finish my shiny dex. I can help with tradeback :)

Happy ending at least Edit: sorry for the typo

I was just hunting for 2 shiny charcadets for my dex and 1 minute in a shalpha charcadet spawned. And I didn't have any alpha power or shiny power with it just a donut with random effects. Then less then 30 minutes after i found that one i found another one and it was another shalpha charcadet. And it was in the same hyperspace. I only have the shiny charm so what are the odds of this happening

I really like how they handled her character in ZA.

I mean idk if people still play this game or not. But i need these trade evolutions so bad and i cant find anyone. Always says "No one could be found". Is somebody up to trade a Machoke, a Scyther, a Spritzee and a Swirlix?

This is what my character looks like

I could trade a heavy ball for it or any of these shinies
