The Burnt Tower's Poisonous Secret

So, I taught Mika, aka Whitney, a lesson in Beachynomics, shredding her apart thanks to flash and critical-hit-happy (focus energy <3) Scyther. (Bugsy's Scyther was annoying, so much so that it's now my lead, same set and all) >:D

Later on I walk into the brass tower expecting to release you-know-who. After thrashing James (Dark Azelf, my rival) with Murkrow Pursuit and Scyther U-turn spam, I start walking around to find those hidden items with that dowsing machine. As I'm happily searching, a battle begins...

Mind you, I'm driving to Barnes and Noble during all of this, in traffic & rain. (don't follow my example, drivers-in-training!) As I look down quickly, I see SHINY KOFFING. wkedjherghtiesrjnr...


AWWWWWWWW YEAH!

Scared to screw this up, I make haste and swirl into the parking lot, and put my full attention on Koffing. A Scyther quick attack and some weak Stantler Astonishes (see, that move DOES have a use!), paired with its hypnosis, I catch shiny Koffing with a great ball. :D Third time I've seen a shiny, and caught it. First being Zubat during my ever-long search for gible in the wrong cave, second being an Illumise during Charizard level boosting. (both happened in Diamond) Amazing how shinies show up during the most unexpected times... I got a thing for in-the-air bug or poison shinies. :D

Cheers!

(I also got a cool book on organization and another on murder, oh no, I'm not planning anything...) Anti is mine.

I'm now in Olivine City (which is so gorgeous) after Murkrow and Gyarados thrashed Morty & company, hysterically so. Brilliant gym design, by the way.

Current team


Featuring~
  • Aridity, the Scyther.
  • Light Wind, the Bayleef.
  • MURKROW, the ... Murkrow.
  • Azulos, the Gyarados.
  • Yamaha, the Yanma.
  • ThirdCharm, the shiny Koffing. <3

    Nice <3

    I have yet to catch a shiny in HG/SS other than the Gyarados (and the Noctowl I have in imported SS doesn't count 'cause it was traded).

    I remember my first random encounter shiny. Twas a Zubat whom I named Sapphire after a Crobat I had years ago.

    I restarted my game and lost it though. :[

    Anyways, congrats on the shiny Koffing, Ryan. :D

    Ah, so your first was Zubat too, Swift? Yeah, I remember seeing green zubat after hours of frustration, looking for Gible. I was like "well... that works! :D" Traded it away later on, though. :( Same fate with Illumise, too. I'll be keeping Koffing, though.

    Samme, which pokemon was it?

    It was a shiny Buizel in Diamond and since that was my first Pokemon game I ever played, I didn't really use correct capturing skills and it fainted XD
    Not the best shiny in my opinion, but it would have been better than nothing :P

    I was looking for a Snorunt in Shoal Cave, the first thing that popped out was a green Zubat. I was like, OMGWTFBBQ. Caught it in an Ultra Ball.

    Believe me, you're not the only one.

    I'm pretty sure I came across a shiny Zubat in Slowpoke Well in my Gold years ago, but as soon as I found it I had a sudden short-term memory loss and forgot if it DID sparkle or not. Plus I forgot what color normal Zubat were. So I RAN AWAY FROM IT just so I could check. Afterwards, I began running all around, trying to find it again. No. Such. Luck. It's almost as bad as my catching a weak Ponyta in my Yellow with a Master Ball and, in that same file, running away from Mewtwo and save afterwards.
