Aspiring game developer and avid shiny hunter. If there’s anything I can regularly ramble delightfully about, it’s the adorable pocket monsters that quickly stole my heart as a child. ✨ On Focus Hunts ✨ Squirtle 5366

Since I imagine the next encounter milestone I’d hit is double odds, I did think it was nifty to breach 100,000 encounters (so far) for this Mimikyu hunt. The goal is still set to find this before the end of June, but goodness knows only time will be the one to tell

Displaying the phases/encounters for shiny Mimikyu (so far. Hasn’t been found yet). Over 100 thousand encounters with 25 phases done, who can say how many more are in store?

And so it begins… Phase 1 for Drampa is this ice-armored Glalie! 1403 encounters, with a mean winning streak and the adamant nature to track down a certain PAC-MAN. It’s one of the simpler changes for a shiny, but I’ve always been a fan of the eyes. There’s something about aesthetic changes…

I was thinking to myself the other day that the naming scheme for Glalie would start with the four ghosts from PAC-MAN. It just felt…fitting, since I associate the mega especially with that gaming guy. Blinky is the name of the red ghost, and between the eyes and Valentine’s Day (Happy Valentine’s Day!) I thought it would make the most sense to start there.

Blinky is Adamant and hates to lose, so I definitely wouldn’t want to be in a labyrinth with him hunting me down. The ability being inner focus only sells it more, honestly.

I am so THRILLED to be able to hunt Ultra Beasts! Xurkitree sits (trots?) kindly with me after a measly 1779 resets. This is Waltz! Sassy and mischievous and that beautiful shade of blue strikes with no sign or want of reprieve. They do the wave dance move when they’re happy and light up any room.

I. Cannot. BELIEVE this actually happened. It’s one of those things that I thought would be a joke at most— if I find one of these targets offline, I’d go live right away. But sure enough when I was thinking of calling it a night, Vulcan decides to shine after 13832 encounters. HE’S MY NATURE!!!

Somewhat vain and timid, and the first of the dragons appears. After two Charjabug, two Graveler, a Mudbray, Dedenne, Togedemaru, and Torkoal…40340 encounters total for the hunt…and caught in my one and only Friend Ball. Vulcan, I love you so so much. Thank you for this journey, and thank you for being a memorable final team member for the Ultra Sun team. First of the Trio DTQs to be set!

Shiny Cranidos found in Brilliant Diamond! This was a hunt I started sometime last year, but took a major break up until fossil week this year. It’s been on and off, but I believe I was still under odds? I wasn’t counting all of them for this one, admittedly

Rash Shiny Cranidos capable of taking hits~ named Blais after the fact (something from my game/book universe. hehe). I was hopeful that all my time spent collecting the 20 fossils would prove worth it and that the shiny would appear in the second half— I got my wish ❤️

Me and my excellent picture taking skills~ This is Zeona, a lonely (not anymore) Ho-Oh with good perseverance being caught with a Master Ball. I admittedly went into this hunt with that intention— a measly 2170 SRs later makes it true. Such a cool find for this Spooky Season

Named after something from my in-progress game/book universe— I love the gold and silver for Ho-Oh. I noticed it straight away coming across the screen, and still am in disbelief. I did try a Fast and Lure Ball for fun, but I mainly wanted to bring her home

I feel like I have entered a world formed of shock and pure imagination and dreams. Between getting female Salandit last night and THEN getting this guy with no phases? Not to mention I was ten encounters away from calling it a night. 7520 for my beautiful Sandygast

Docile Sandygast with good perseverance as its characteristic— naturally 💙 I love my Castle Castiel

So I’m a bit…in awe. Trying to do runs for Lunala in DAs at the moment, 2/3 games I’m playing with a the 1/300 odds. And on one of those games I get 2 shinies in one run— HELLO? This is a first and I’m just as upset about it as I thought I’d be lol

Golurk is Naive and mischievous (and off to have their freedom)Hatterene is Careful and alert to sounds!
I chose her because I already found a Golurk in ScarVi, but I’ll likely do a full odds hunt for it at some point…so so pretty. I love getting to call her my friend— but what do you MEAN I actually got 2 in 1 run? It’s one of those things I just thought would happen to other people

Will be streaming more Gen 7 craziness in about 15 minutes! I love running around in circles. (And as a bonus, we will be hitting double odds today…unless…) Here’s to hoping Cubone or Female Salandit stops by to shine and be my new friend today. ✨ twitch.tv/starringsaturn

I absolutely adore Pokémon with all my heart and have been fortunate to travel with them since Unova with my first Nintendo DS. Shiny Hunting became a natural part of my endeavors shortly after.Aspiri...

While my Generation 7 Trio DTQ luck comes and goes, I did find something else wonderful in a no-charm file of Shield. Jörmungandr, I’m so glad that you showed up long before I’d have to find a new path. Looking forward to learning more about you in Z-A 🤍💚

The careful and somewhat vain Jörm in his glory 🤍 I love my dragonsBild

Phase 1 for Female Salandit and Cubone is this beautiful baby bird. Phoenix is quiet and loves to eat, got caught in the second dive ball, and appeared after 6763 encounters. I’d like to imagine she’s a telling sign for cute charm working in a coming (soon) phase, but only time will tell ✨

Quiet female shiny Fletchling with the Big Pecks ability! Phoenix loves to eat (you and me both) and got caught in a dive ball for the fun of it. I love the baby bird 🧡
