I have not shiny hunted in let's go. I have heard about the good odds you can get in these games when the lure, shiny charm and catch combo stacked, but since pokemon can run from you I always feared that I would end up failing the shiny hunt that way, and didn't experiment, preferring to hunt in safer games. I will keep in mind the routes where the starters are for future if I revisit games, and do catch combos just to spawn their species, instead of acquiring charmander, bulbasaur and squirtle the longer way as gifts next time, as well ^_^

If any one needs an extra shiny charmander, charmeleon or charizard BTW I have a couple of extra sitting in home that I can gift.

I never look out for shiny Pokemon, as they not appeal me as such. Most of them become terrible colored, like Pink Swampert/Walrein or Green Dragonite/Machamp. And these odd color choices are among the prominent reason why I don't look out for shiny. My first and foremost priority is to make a nice team with varied and wide coverage, and then finish the game. The extra works like finishing Pokedex and doing other side things never attracted me, as I felt them as unnecessary slog and also felt them as false satisfaction, and finishing them just makes my experience boring and long as the game is already finished.

Nowadays I play Pokemon GO mostly, and there also I release the shiny Pokemon, if they are not good looking + having bad IVs. Though I also have a Shiny Charizard there, which I can of course transfer to Pokemon HOME. And I can also hand out Giratina-A, Virizion, Tapu Fini, and few others, as I had invested in the species which I am needed to use.

Dragonite's shiny isn't bad, but I liked Dratini/Dragonair's more myself.
Would've preferred it stay pink/purple:

The W00f + Flareon = :love:

Whom should support as Rayquaza ? I am the one who is needed to end the conflict b/w them.......


I will go with superior Ground type Coverage, hence Groudon.






Although it's the sky which prevails !




Edit: The shiny is just decent for Groudon, but after Primal Reversion it's amazing, and same can be said for Primal Kyogre as well. Although Pinky-Winky looks ugly on such a big Pokémon!

I got Sapphire right after release and played it a lot. So, there's definitely more nostalgia there. When it came to the remakes I actually played Omega Ruby, instead. Afaik, I picked it because of the version exclusives.

But I still like Kyogre more than Groudon.
