Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, Suicune. 30000 encounters passed, then 40000, then 50000. I went triple, quadruple, sextuple over odds… if it weren’t for the fact that I was doing other things like watching shows and YouTube, I would’ve given up a long time ago. Not to mention, I was getting...

On February 5th, I started my adventure in SoulSilver for the first time. I had played the other games in the series considered part of the 'peak of Pokémon' such as B2W2 and Platinum, but HGSS had evaded me (mostly cause it’s so damn expensive to get an English copy). I started by shiny hunting...

This is an impromptu post as opposed to me usual ones, but I thought it was cool so I wanted to post about it. I’m playing HGSS for the first time and wanted to do the starter hunt since it’s by infamous for being by far the easiest of all starter hunts in the series. You get to see all three...

Happy February! I’m back with my shiny hunting antics. To start off this month I have two finds to report: shiny Dialga and Palkia in Platinum. I actually double hunted this with my Diamond, and it was my first double hunt. It was pretty hard to get used to at first, and I had to use the...

(This post is very long, read at your own risk of boredom!) First of all, I want to say a Happy New Year to the Orange Island subforum and shiny hunters everywhere. I hope you all have an amazing and lucky year. It’s the first day of the year, and I’m starting 2025 off well, with this! Shiny...

I don’t really do SV hunts much because I do find them much harder to do absentmindedly as opposed to soft reset hunts, but there’s a couple of hunts I’d love to do someday including 3-Segment Shiny Dudunsparce, a jumbo and mini form of the same shiny, and more. One of those was finding a max...

I was doing some Tera Raids for no particular reason when I found a Tera Steel Slowking: I find it almost egregiously funny that it literally looks like someone threw a massive axe at the back of Slowking’s head and it’s just completely unaware of that.

Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf all sleep in different ways that are subtly cute and cool: Mesprit’s in particular is really adorable to me, it looks like it’s sleeping on its tails while it rests its arms on its stomach. Azelf looks like it’s using its arms as a makeshift pillow. I also like how...

Ok, so I lied. Type: Null is able to be acquired in USUM, and I don’t know why I thought it wasn’t. So I went for it and after a grueling 6768 resets, I got it. Unfortunately, my flabbergasted ass was in shock so I didn’t get a picture of it on my 3DS so enjoy SwSh screenshots instead. Good...

After 2 and half years, I’m finally done* with my shiny legendary dex! After I posted my shiny Arceus, I planned on going slower with the remaining Pokémon I had to get, those being (including two mons I forgot about last time for no reason): Regirock :Regirock: Regice :Regice: Registeel...

I decided recently to obtain every Legendary/Rare shiny I could with the games I had, which is basically every Legendary/Ultra Beast that you can encounter in Dynamax Adventures + A few others. In the last month alone, I’ve obtained Cresselia, Celesteela, Articuno, Solgaleo, Xurkitree, Virizion...

After I finished Pokémon Crystal, I decided that before I Pokémon Bank shut down (not confirmed on when that’ll be, so don’t worry just yet) I’d hunt one of the most elusive shinies of all of Pokémon, Celebi. And I got it! Rather quickly in fact - it’s possible to get about 110~ of these per...

Of all the Pokémon I used in Crystal, there was one good boy who surprised me the most and was the MVP of my team… This guy. Quagsire is a great team member. As a Wooper that can be caught just past Falkner’s gym, it learns Water Gun, Tail Whip and Slam by level 11, meaning it’s incredibly...

I played Pokémon Crystal for the first time recently! It was my first time going through Johto (and Kanto, but I haven’t actually gotten to doing it yet). I was able to observe a few things I liked and disliked about the region, so I’ll probably make a few posts in the next two weeks talking...

Paldea is the only generation in the past 7 where these guys aren’t catchable at all by any method in-game. Why forsake such a rich tapestry of Regi history, why, GameFreak, why!? D:
