That sounds like a fun contest to have each week. I suppose I'll alternate between Litwick and Abra, with more time spent on Litwick.

Is it a random Pokemon each week, or are we having something different weekly?
Anyways, my Abra hunt will start now!

There will be a different Pokemon every week.

im dual soft resetting now for charmander, got a back lit gba sp and its really nice, makes my old one look like a trubbish now... (not that there is anything wrong with trubbish)
no luck but it makes doing alot of SR's easy, thought i would update you all on that.
and darn for the pokemon of the week being abra, if i didnt already have one i would try for it.

I quite like that idea actually, I'll participate and try and hatch it out via masuda method on black. I'll put aside the shiny totodile soft resetting for a bit.

Is the random route challenge still active?
Yes it is. We always have multiple contests running.
Edit: I just hit the 2000 mark for Abra (technically the 2097 mark o3o)

Congrats on the shiny Raticate, 2Cool4Mewtwo! It was about time someone found a shiny on the random route contest.
My Litwick hunt has hit 1,700 eggs, and I've hatched 10 Abras so far for the new contest. I plan on spending some time breeding for IVs for Sneasel this week. Back in gen 2 I hatched a shiny Sneasel using the shiny Ditto trick. I also hatched shinies of Larvitar, Pichu, and Cleffa. I can't remember who else. They of course don't count for the club. The odds were 1 in 64, if I remember correctly, when you bred using a shiny. For those that don't know, if you traded the shiny Gyarados that you caught in gen 2 to Yellow for a Ditto, the Ditto would become a shiny. If you traded Gyarados back and it would still be a shiny.

Congratulations 2Cool4Mewtwo!!! I'm sure that you're beyond happy by now. :D
I have decided to skip the Abra challenge and concentrate solely on the random route challenge. Hopefully it doesn't take 25,000 encounters! :0 I'm also sort of experimenting with the Pokeradar (Do those types of shines count btw?).

Congratulations!! You definitely had that one coming and deserve every ounce of joy you're feeling right now. :)
That's not bad at all, Nato. If you keep that up, you could be getting 6 or 7 shinies per month!! Whatever you're hunting, keep at it!
I'm not sure whether or not it counts for the contest, but it does count for the ShinyDex. You get to count one shiny per chain, which really isn't different from normal rules, unless you're chaining something like Eevee or Oddish (I don't even know if Eevee's chainable, "lol"). You'll only be able to count one evolutionary line unless you break the chain and start over again, but you're free to count the first one!
