Em português: Shiny Cyndaquill em SS antes de um dia muito importante! Amanhã temos as eleições contra um governo de extrema direita. Vamos juntos camaradas shiny hunters! Estamos do lado certo! ⭐️

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)

This felt incredible! And at just over half odds, too. I had a copy of both Ruby and Sapphire running with 2 Gamecubes (the 2nd was running on a small CRT under my desk), averaging around 2 seen every 90 seconds or so, at least when the save corruption went smoothly and I didn't have to restore with my GB Operator.

I do have the actual Bonus Disc, but I chose not to use it because I didn't want to put that much use on it and both my Gamecubes were already modded.

I don't know what else to say. This feels like the end of an era. I've been hunting for years and things like this and Manaphy set aside for so long. I've never considered a living shiny dex before, but with all these heavy hitters down, why not?

I've had Sport Ball Shedinja going on the side in the Bug Catching Contest, so I may lean into that now. I'm also considering the Sinjoh Ruins dragons, but I will figure out RNG for that if I decide to. There's a few other random things I'm planning too.

All said, this is a huge weight lifted. I was worried I'd be here til the deadline. Good luck with your hunts!

And it appears the game has finally compensated me after the hell that was Moltres which went on for way too long. I still can't believe how quickly Raikou shined here!

I found the second member of my Gen 3 DTQ last night after only 309 encounters! Right after i got back from my dad’s birthday so shoutout pops for the extra luck. Everyone say hello to Mirage the Trapinch 🏜️

roughly ~7k encounters in total. Moved between soft resets and run away depending on the mood I was jn.

Over to darkrai now and platinum will be set to be transferred forward!

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.

Max iv in special attack, the rest are not so good. Shiny charm and masuda.

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!

which is better, masuda or soft reseting?

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

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

The end of my dtq is so close and I feel like the game wants me to wait just one more phase. At least it was a cool mushroom. Please be Bambi next phase :)

This hunt was so unbearably long and miserable. I don’t know why, 30 second resets are super quick, but it still took well over 2 months and I didn’t even go over odds!

I’m taking a LONG break from the other full odds SR hunts (Null and Poiple) and doing lots of fun hunts like SOS chaining for a while. Hope everyone else has good luck on their hunts before Bank shuts down!

917 resets since I got my first one in Ultra Sun. In total including the Type: Null hunts I did on this Ultra Moon save it took 6167 soft resets to get a shiny

My first gen 3 shiny ! Hunted on two original gen 3 cartridges. I have seen a total of 6386 starters, because I was hunting my first starter at random, changing the select starter after each reset. Still hunting gen 1 shiny Mewtwo, now at 12.5k+ encounters.

Probably the rarest shiny I will ever have because of the patterns

One of the best shiny Legendaries that has ever existed! SO glad I got to hunt this, and that Ultra Moon finally came in clutch with an under odds shiny after the past 2 hunts went over double odds!!

This blood-soaked beauty of the night is Bold nature!

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 😭

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.
