25,070 encounters in, the literal last hour of Safari Week, Trapinch finally shines. 255 catch rate! Following four Zone failures! Surely I was finally going to take something home right? …fled after one ball. #safariweek #safariweek2026

It’s the final day of Safari Week. I’m 21k encounters into Phase 2, repel tricking for that sweet sweet radioactive Trapinch. Finished my work up early so I’m going all out to hit triple odds. Cmon Safari Zone, don’t let me leave empty handed! #safariweek #safariweek2026
Shout out to the over odds Safari Week hunters who are still sticking it out. Hitting 20k encounters in the morning. I’m lined up to hit triple odds on Day 10. If this thing doesn’t shine it’s not from a lack of mind numbing effort. #safariweek #safariweek2026
Retiring for the night just shy of double odds. Creators in the 20k-30k drought are putting the fear in me, I don’t have enough days or systems to hit those numbers before the event ends. #safariweek
Day 7 of Safari Week. 12.5k encounters for Phase 2, aka odds and a half. I’ve done 18.7k encounters this week. 34.5k this year (3 found 0 caught) Will something shine by the end of the event? And will I catch it? Stay tuned! #safariweek2026
Thank you for giving us your money for the cool book!

Day 6 of Safari Week. 7840 encounters into Phase 2. Goal 1: hit odds Goal 2: find this shiny Trapinch. My only shiny hunting friend in LA is coming over to get in as many encounters as we can. Wish us luck! #safariweek2026
Day 5 #safariweek2026 4507 encounters into phase 2. The Desert hit 30 days maturity so I can switch from Vibrava to Trapinch. Tomorrow we’re doing a meetup and going feral on encounters. But today? Gonna try to hit odds.
First shiny of Safari Week! …and it fled after two balls. Didn’t even shake once. So far 0 for 3 on Safari Zone shinies this year.
Spent Day 1 and most of Day 2 of Safari Week camping, managed to get 1000 Great Marsh Encounters in while waiting out storms in the tent and driving home. Now I’m home with a triple hunt setup going, ending Day 2 at 2390. Ready to go sicko mode on Day 3.
Over 8 years ago I made my first tweet announcing I was on my way to Podcon. Now I’m making the same (whatever you call it here) announcing I’m on my way to @tafcon.bsky.social See y’all soon! Come say hi, tell me about your favorite show.
THREE DAYS. Three days of Radar Chaining at Stark Mountain (my first time using Pokeradar) to get the next member of my Shiny Ground team. I’ve had easier full odds hunts. Shortstack is now in Johto getting trained up and hunting shiny leaves. Happy #ranchweek
For Pride you should fall in love and raise your partners Tamagotchi so good it becomes a scientist who eats literally 48 cheeseburgers a day.
I’ve spent two blissful years off of social media and opening up an app again feels like dunking my head into a beehive. But @tafcon.bsky.social is coming up so I might dip my toes back in.

My Spotify wrapped was like “You listened to so much on leap day, what were you doing?” (Mushrooms) “You were the top listener for Dressler Parsons, wow” (she’s my girlfriend) “I guess Chappel Roan?” (what I listened to on subways while visiting my girlfriend)
Hot Frosty (highly recommend) is a Xmas Kingdoms movie, AND it establishes Falling for Xmas as a “Pokerface” in this cinematic universe. Meanwhile The Merry Gentlemen (don’t recommend) ties in if you subscribe to the “Christmas Prince is a documentary” theory, originating in The Knight Before Xmas.
Having heard some rough-cuts of the show, the level of work @esterlellis.bsky.social puts into the @dungeonsanddads.bsky.social episode mixes is unbelievable. Been lucky enough to work a bit more closely with her for the last few months on the episode art and she’s truely worthy of MVP status 🙌🙌🙌

Good News! Recovered from double vax and I’m up to 197 Pokémon in Crystal. Bad News! I broke my toe in a vax haze and I have 53 Pokémon left to get in Crystal.
