For around a decade now, my personal record for the fastest Shiny I’ve ever found was a Friend Safari Whirlipede in two encounters (equivalent to 32 out of 8,192 adjusted odds). I can’t remember if I already said that in this thread or not, so I apologize if I am repeating myself. I mention this because I just got done playing some Legends Z-A tonight before I went to sleep and I easily just broke that record. This game doesn’t have the same kinds of encounters as old games, obviously, so instead, I’m taking into account the amount of time a Shiny hunt takes or, in this case the amount of time in between two different Shinies with the same odds as one another.
To my surprise, as I’m in a Discord call, I found a Skiddo in Zone 3 and one of those skittish overworld Fletchling in the span of, like, that had to have been less than five minutes apart, easily. Statistically, that marks the first day since August 7th, 2023 where I’ve found multiple Shinies in the same day- I believe that might not actually be a true statement, but I like to screenshot my Shinies on my Switch when I find them and I can’t find any examples of Legends Arceus or SV Shinies being found on the same day since then. And while Shinies are comically easy to find in this game, both of those other games I mentioned were not full odds situations like this was tonight. Just a fun little story I wanted to share with you guys.
oh yeah shiny Talonflame looks like a discount Moltres btw
Edit: So apparently only my first Shiny in this game (a Spinarak) I actually remembered to screenshot. Oops.
