    • Any pronoun
    • Online now
    Ran across zero while completing the game, according to the profile stat. Could have missed a tiny shiny Pokemon, like Floette and Nymble. (Plays in tabletop mode.)

    Will probably not hunt for any shinies. Would pick Espathra, if so. Actually likes that shiny. Seems useful for Tera Raids too.

    I'm using the knock out 60 and then reset with picnic method on two outbreaks that are overlapped. Gastly and Drowzee.

    I found a shiny Gastly yesterday but its very hard to tell as the smoke doesn't change at all. Its supposed to turn blue so hopefully they fix that. A similar thing happened in Pokemongo.

  • I found another random Shiny in the post game area. A Shiny bright pink Jumpluff just sitting there at the entrance.

    I got a Shiny Zweilous (It's Green instead of Blue) now a Hydreigon using the Sandwich method.

    I'm not playing the game but I'm following this thread and going by your previous posts it seems that Shinies in the Hoppip line absolutely adore you, lol. In no time you should have an army of Shiny Jumpluff at your disposal.

    I found a shiny Drowzee in Southern Province Area 2. Was looking for a Tinkatink with Adamant nature and just happened to run across the purple Drowzee too.

  • I actually stumbled upon a random wild shiny Psyduck when catching Ice-type Pokémon for the Wonderful Gifts of Surprise challenge! I managed to get it on video as well! The best part is that I wasn't even shiny hunting, nor did I made any shiny sandwiches, and I don't have a Shiny Charm. It just happened completely by chance. I am definitely going to train it up, evolve it into Golduck, and put it on my rain team!

  • Found a shiny Hawlucha with Unburden just walking around as I was exploring the last bit of the map I hadn't been to before finishing the Star bases.

  • Sadly I have not. The last two generations for me haven't been good on shiny pokemon. In both Kalos and Alola, I found a shiny in my first play through, but still nothing thus far.

    As for Shiny Hunting... not sure. I am sure there will be a few that I want, but with how common they have become it is becoming just a thing of the past for me. Used to love shiny hunting since I had so few, but now I've caught so many that it is not something I go out of my way to do anymore.

    I have encountered a few Shiny myself that where easy catches but unexpected, wasnt using a shiny odd sandwich or mass outbreak, just a random goodra. I also got lucky and hatched a shiny Charmander, and Ive never hatched a shiny (my use of breeding has typically only been for breeding pokemon to help others, or if I caught somethings final evolutionary form and need the earlier forms for dex completion.

    I knocked out 60 Girafarig and am running around. I like that it turns towards you it makes shiny checking it easier.

    I found a shiny Stunky randomly during the hunt. Its full odds

    I then found my shiny Girafarig later on.

    I just stumbled across a shiny Espartha at level 40. It was lucky. It was next to a cliff and standing in the shade so I didn't notice the color scheme difference. I'm not familiar with the new mons to immediately identify a shiny. But luckily I was in Go Mode and I noticed my Mabostiff wouldn't attack it. That's when I knew it was a shiny!

    I'm pleased with it because it's the first shiny I have encountered in the game that wasn't from a raid (or red Gyarados) and I've been playing since red/blue/yellow!!!! I have terrible luck with shinies. I also never paid any attention to them in past years so I more than likely stumbled into some but never noticed 😝

    My first shiny playing Violet before having the shiny charm was a shiny Rufflet. My 2nd shiny a Fletchinder. Working on Veluza hoping to be my first Gen 9 shiny for being a new Pokemon.

    Rolling in some more Pokemon Shinies.
