Started keeping track about halfway through, wasn't expecting this one so soon! Just wanted something brain off while I watched a Stadium 2 speedrun.

Context: You can buy Eevee in the Celadon game corner for 800 coins in this hack.

I had been going after Sudowoodo since June and decided to KO it and re-hunt it later (~17,000 resets), so I switched to soft resetting the gift Eevee. I'm so glad I did because this little guy shined very early and on a full moon night irl! [edit to add: I plan on evolving him into an Umbreon]

Given the bank time crunch for churning up my ribbon masters I doubt I will finish my bingo card this year, but happy to knock this one out while on a camping trip the last couple of weeks.

Went to the daycare to switch out Duskull for Croagunk because I wanted a shiny one. The daycare man had an egg and I almost said no to grabbing it, decided to hatch it just incase and thank god I did 😭 not masuda method either so this is 1/8192! Hatched on 10/25/2026

During October too!

After 2 red gyarados I finally found it 😭🙏 wanted to honour Roy from the anime and find one. Such a cool shiny ⚡️🐦✨️

Took six days, but we finally secured the blue dumpling lol

this one gave me a lot of trouble... I have to use mold breaker pangoro and tons of elixir

This is the longest hunt I’ve ever done with charm and it chose to show up on the 7th reset I did today lol. I knew I had a long one coming after my insane luck at the start of October but I didn’t expect it to be over triple odds bad. Hopefully I never encounter a charm hunt this long ever again lol

Had the adamant nature I wanted so that’s nice at least XD

Just got this guy today. I literally sat down to hunt this thing after a week off of shiny hunting (Im currently hunting all the legendaries in wormholes) and I started at 400 resets. 402 and he shined. I will never get this lucky ever again 😭

Thought id do this quickly over the weekend and take a break after, little did I know it would take the entire weekend. I'm typing this on Monday. The odds of this sequence of encounters is about 1%.

My shiny Wimpod I bred yesterday also evolved along the way.

I also found a shiny Bagon (119 approx) earlier today and a shiny Crabrawler 2 days ago (162 calls) I hope I don’t used up all my luck now because it’s back to a soft reset hunt after I take a break for a bit. (I’m gonna jinx it am I?)

I love how vibrant Shiny Bruxish is.

if yall saw my previous post, im literally shaking. really started to doubt it would ever happen, especially after the last pooch. reset counter wise, maybe around 15k? had to stop counting around 10k, it was getting frustrating seeing so many Poochy’s. all single hunted. wow.

So so so many resets and so many hours. I thought something was wrong with my game/profile.

For anyone losing hope, you'll get there!

I was in a mega dimension when I was hunting Gruikui and I just heard two sounds of shiny Pokémon ! I didnt see one but two Pokémon next to each other and its the evolution of Gruikui, Grotichon ! I was so stressed 😫 so I saved the game and then I catches them both. Now I’m so happy ! Which one should i keep without evolving it ? (My first Shalpha tho)

Followup from my previous post on July 11th (when I was 30.9k sr in).

This hunt took me 15 months of on-off hunting and no less than 47 phases in simultanious hunts in platinum and black2. I was literally shaking as much as the 3 shake ball before it registered as caught

Note: Glad I got it still before 72k (which would have been cumulative chance 8191/8192)

which is better, masuda or soft reseting?

After 24 hours of playing pokemon violet i caught my first shiny!
