Despite my best efforts, after 139 shiny Tandemaus caught (all of which have evolved into Family of Four Mausholds), this is now officially my longest hunt ever. Sorry Salamence, I tried to save your record 😭 At least Salamence still holds the record for most phases (for now) #ShinyPokemon

DUDE NO FRICKEN WAY!!! MY FIRST EVER SHINY ROAMER IS SHINY RAIKOU! 4.1k!!!!

What a massive W!

James Turner, Pokémon designer and former art director at Game Freak, has announced their return to Pokémon. They’ve been appointed as Creative Director of Pokémon Art and Design at TPCi (The Pokémon Company International).

After an UNREAL 2,659 captures, SHINY SHADOW QUILAVA - my all time favorite Pokémon in the BEST shiny form of all time! This is truly the happiest I've ever been to find a shiny Pokémon in any game EVER.

I complain about going overodds so much they call me the full odds whiny hunter 🔥

Shiny Deoxys in FireRed after 18632 resets!✨💛🧬 Caught in a Net Ball well before it struggled. This one gets to become a Ribbon Master, I'll hunt the other forms for my Shiny Living Dex in GO or Switch FRLG #ShinyPokemon #Pokemon

Preparing to go live on Twitch! Place your bets now on how many phases it will take to find Fo3-Maushold and finish my Shiny Living Dex 👀 twitch.tv/symag373

my first shiny was a shiny flaaffy <3 #wip #pokemon

Stream layout is done and I think I'm ready to begin looking for Maushold! I have some errands I need to run today, so if anything i might only stream for a little bit later, otherwise I'll try and stream at least once this weekend! I'll keep you all updated on when I decide to go live!

I think I'm just about done designing the layout for Maushold! Gonna put it all together in Streamlabs tomorrow and then I think it's show time! Here's a sneak peek at the logo I threw together for the occasion 😄 These are only some of the hunts I've done over the years!

Okay because I'm a noob in hunting in Gen 4, it's come to my attention that not only is Chinchou a 20% spawn, it can also be affected by Static, and that friendship affects the rod's bite chance. Soooooo maybe I go do Mareep first? 🤔

I've finished setting up for my Chinchou hunt! I might add a Sticky Hold Grimer or something if the encounters go too slowly, but for now let's see how it plays out #DTQ

Today I forced myself to gather the Dive Balls I need for the next hunt of my #DTQ, which will also coincidentally be the most difficult hunt of the bunch :) It's a shame I won't have a Pokémon with Suction Cups/Sticky Hold, but I guess that will serve to make this hunt even more challenging!

this sentiment is definitely applicable here

I'm gonna take a few days to try and set up a good layout for streaming/recording the final hunt, and then it's go time!

My completed Shiny Living Dex almost had life. 1 remains. #ShinyLivingDex #ShinyLivingDexPlus #ShinyPokemon

10% down, 20% to go. 2 remain. #ShinyLivingDex #ShinyLivingDexPlus #ShinyPokemon

165 DAs later, and Tapu Lele is finally here! Not only does this complete my DA hunts... if we don't count unique forms, this also completes my Shiny Living Dex!!! #ShinyLivingDex #998/1025 ( #ShinyLivingDexPlus #1347/1348)! #ShinyPokemon

I have never played Undertale/Deltarune, but yeah I imagine a shiny hunter like myself would rate highly with Perseverance lol

Because of course my final DA will go over odds 😒 I'm so glad I'll never have to touch DAs again after this is done. Go ahead and place your bets on how it will take me this time lol

If you want a full guide on every Pokémon you can obtain for Pokémon Home. I have a Google Sheets that lists EVERYTHING including the oldest games you can catch them in for an origin Dex! Excel version (HQ) docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Sheets version (LQ) docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

If you want a guide on a complete living origin Dex before Bank shuts down. I have a full series on my YouTube channel! I go through each generation and explain how I obtain every Pokémon! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Okay I do have a serious question for you all: Once I get Tapu Lele, my last SLD entry is gonna be Fo3-Maushold. I want to, at the very least, record it for when I do find the shiny. But who would watch if I were to also stream it??

🚨PSA For Twitch Streamers Moving to YouTube! YT has (unfortunately) automatically enrolled creators in AI features for over a year and you must turn off MULTIPLE settings in YT Studio to avoid it! ➡️Under Advanced Channel Settings, make sure to turn off AI Training, AI Dubbing, + AI Enhancements!

Steps to Turn Off AI Training on Twitch Desktop/Web * Sign in to your Twitch account. * Click on your avatar in the top right corner. * Select Settings from the dropdown menu. * Go to the Security and Privacy tab. * Scroll down to Training for Generative AI. * Toggle the setting off.

So here's my to-do list before Bank closes: - Finish my SoulSilver DTQ - Complete my Mew and Jirachi Ribbon Master quests up through Gen 7 (I have no idea what I'm doing though) - Potentially hunt the USUM Surfing Pikachu and the Pokémon Box Surfing Pichu

Personal priority checklist since Bank news happened while I was asleep: -Beast Ball SOS Salamence -Poipole -Type:Null -FR Deoxys -Ribbon Master Lilligant ...it's gonna be a short 6 months already

✨‼️ Safari Week Video ‼️✨ i built a mobile quad-hunting setup to try and go as hard as i could for safari week this year! take a look if you need a break from the horrors this morning! youtu.be/hJqYt9Mv2mY?...

Let the closure of Bank in February motivate you to do crazy things in these games you never considered doing before, or carefully curate which treasured Pokemon you want to send up to HOME for the future. Don't let it become a massive panic where you feel like all will be lost forever.

So I'm hearing about something called a Surfing Pikachu in USUM that can apparently be shiny? Might want to look into that... 👀 OH and also a Surfing Pichu that is also huntable? But it can only be received from Pokémon Box, which makes it really rare. ...So It's a good thing I got this as a kid.

Well shoot Pokemon Bank is ending its service February of next year. I will try to get a video out on how to speed run Ribbon Masters for those who are interested in sprinting to the finish line with me.

new shiny hunting community event just dropped! it's called "frantically finish all of your hunts before bank closes!!" starting Right Now
