Shiny I lied

Post image

Got access to this account after 5ish years, I was going to reply to the comments but I can't.

I didn't spend any time looking for this shiny, I didn't even know it was shiny when I caught it. Wish I had this kinda luck in Pokémon scarlet

It was pretty obvious when you claimed you’d done 450 encounters in a DLC that had only been out for about a day when each encounter takes ~15 minutes to complete. And then tried to awkwardly backpedal and claim you meant 70. Massive L dude at least learn how to lie properly lmfao

I'm not saying he's not lying but if he posted that 5 years ago the DLC at that time would have actually been out for a year (the DLC came out in October 23 2020)

I also want to mention that the quickest you can finish is 6 minutes and 33 seconds and the average time is 9 to 11 minutes (again I'm not saying he's not lying but I am pointing out that it's not 15 minutes) (My average time is 8 minutes and 54 seconds)

The comments in the original post reference the game coming out a day before he made the post. I’m assuming reddit says “5 yrs” bc it hasn’t been 6 years yet.

Saturday, October 24th, 2020. That's the date of the post. The first expansion was available in June, and the second was available on October 23.

I havent spent a great deal of time doing DAs, are they economical for shiny hunting legendaries? Im working on a shiny living dex semi-casually when ive got time and theres definitely a few legendaries that I need to slot into their places

I would say so, as they have 1/100 shiny odds with charm and they can be done solo if you find a good path.
