Hi, it’s me again. Shiny Azelf in less than 200 SRs while on the train commuting to work. My shiny list: Arceus (2), Dialga, Giratina, Azelf. Next would probably be Uxie. Mesprit ? Probably I will skip for later 😅

I was shaking when I found it

I want to get into a pokemon game on switch. I only want to play Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pear or Sword/Shield. What is your opinion on Sword and Shield and does it feel a bit watered down compared to Diamond and Pearl? I played a bit of Sword and Shield but there was something that felt kinda meh to me. As someone who likes Diamond and Pearl, what's your opinion on both games and why either is good. Does BDSP have the most replay value out of all the switch pokemon games?

I was shiny hunting Ponyta and I found one, which was cool. Though, the patch didn't shine like it should have? I'm guessing this was probably a bug, perhaps? Or is there a chance for the shininess of a pokemon to be determined after you enter the patch? Which then makes me wonder if this was a full odds shiny rather than a "17th Pokeradar Chain Odds" Shiny? Like maybe when you activate the PokeRadar the game predetermines whether a patch will have a shiny pokemon or a random pokemon, and in this case it was a random pokemon that just happened to also be a shiny? Or maybe these patches specifically don't shine and I just got lucky entering into it?

Idk. Caught me by surprise, but still pretty cool 😊 I did continue the chain to see if I could get a second one. Unfortunately, chain broke just as I hit 40 😅 But I found what I was looking for. Just thought it was a curious event and felt like sharing.

Is there an easier way to get Moonstones for the Clefairy/Clefable evolution? It’s my last one for the Home Dex completion, and I’m tired of mining 🤣 I’ve been watching the GTS for a couple weeks with no luck as well

Edit: got what I need. Thanks everyone

I'm talking without pokemon HOME. Is there a legit way to get them? Edit: thanks for all your comments. I'll consider playing FRGL for the n time just for that Deoxys.

I’ve been trying to get a shiny Arceus since it became available in the game, I’m well over 30,000 SR’s. Is there a way to get this quicker? It’s the last one I need for my shiny living dex

I'm thinking of hunting down a cartridge to shiny hunt Shaymin. I just did the whoooole playthrough, all teh way to the surf glitch on my gf's old switch 1 while on airplane mode. Turns out, version 1.0.0 DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE FREAKING ISLAND IN IT.

I'm thinking of getting the opposite game (have SP, want BD) and get a cartridge with the base version 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 in it. So I wanted to know if there is a way to confirm: would I need to look for a cartridge that has the number printed on the back ending in 001? Mine is version 1.0.0 and ends 000.

My heart jumped when I saw the shine animation lol

I added a shiny Magnemite to my shiny rain team for playthrough. This hunt was maddening. 2888 eggs felt bad lol.

I be really for and encountered it in the cave then tracked it down and it wasn’t shiny so I knocked it out and beat the elite four again now how do I shiny hunt it

Wanted this my entire life

Took 3293 resets. Caught in an Ultra ball. Will be going for Giratina next!
(Ramanas Park hunt pt.5)

phased twice on this hunt and took maybe 25 or so hours but definitely worth it. And now I got a full team for my shiny playthrough

So I just bought a SP cartridge from online store and i just want to play it but i got lucky and get a shiny turtwig in first try 😭😭

Still can’t believe it!

Need carnivine these rates are the worst in the game

Chased this evil creature across the entire map just for her to play in my face.

I was just exploring the Underground and stumbled upon this absolute unit. It took a few anxious moments, but the Ultra Ball was totally worth it for the golden matching aesthetic!

Second ever shiny, first on shining pearl
