Place bets on which of my targets I will actually get next.
Or, make guesses on what mons I will get first that aren't a target.
If/when I get a target I will update the poll with a new target.
Current method: Massive outbreaks (Arc) & Masuda method (Vi) Current games: Legends Arceus & Violet
Free Shinies for Trade: (Please only as for like, one a week or something just to leave other people a chance to get one? Or just ask me to surprise you and I will just roll a dice or smth.)
(Shiny trade list needs to be updated, will come back to it.)

I consider this tiny bastard my 10 year old reclaim from when I saw one in a horde in pokemon X but because hordes were stupidly labelled from where they were actually positioned i KILLED IT and HATED MYSELF.

Its so pretty I dont think I would have even noticed the shiny difference if it didnt play the sound though cause the only difference is the bow is more pink than orange

gray i belive shiny hunting is easier in legends arceus
and stargoon you're 25 and i know you probably know this, but if you go to a kanto region game, NEVER hunt a shiny voltorb.
i've only gotten 2 shinys in my life. a shiny vulpix i got in sword by pure luck when i wasn't even shiny hunting, and shiny jigglypuff in pokemon go

How are you catching so many shinies??? I can't even catch one please share your secrets with me I mean I played for almost 8 hours straight and only took a break to eat lol. But yeah, legends arceus is much easier because you can pretty much just run around a zone and if one doesnt spawn, reset and go again. Plus it makes a little "brring" noise so you don't really have to look that hard just stop when you hear it and look for whatever sparkled. Unlike Scarlet and Violet which I still kinda hate cause sometimes I am just blind or running too fast so I keep hoping they add it back but I doubt they will at this point. :V I've also already completed the game and gotten the shiny charm, so the base rate is 1/819, or in mass outbreaks it's 1/137. If i've perfected the dex entry instead of just obtained the base species research it's 1/585, or 1/128. I don't bother checking massive mass outbreaks because honestly the time limit of needing to check and fight all of them makes me too anxious lol.
I've already perfected the dex entries for the target shinies in the poll but of course the game can smell what you're looking for so it just won't give it to you unless you pull teeth for it. (And in sneasel's case I've actually gotten the shiny hisuian regular male and female, and even a regular female one from a spacetime rift, so a regular male one and the alphas are kinda all I have left and you know my sneasel-obsessed ass is gonna go big or go home. That was literally the first dex entry I perfected even before actually getting the shiny charm.) I usually end up finding one roughly every 2 hours more or less. (Or... miss like I did with frostlass which I still am so angry about lol.)

Which I'm glad they thought about, cause that would have sucked.

Apparently by "Rise and grind" I actually meant take my switch to bed and then fall asleep with it on my face but the game still on in the background so my switch dies by the time i wake back up.

LOVE ITTTT i miss that brief period in december and november where murkrow was the vgc goat I have named her Morrigan. I don't know shit about competitive though, never paid any attention to it except for that time the Pachirisu slayed. Most of my fun in pokemon either comes from shiny hunting or breeding for stats and ev training. Which sounds insane for someone to do who specifically doesn't ever play or do competitive for but lol. I just like being able to beatstick my roommate and my friends who are casuals for funsies. :3c

Putting it up against oras is huge praise tho o.o at least I have pixelmon for all my open world pokemon needs. ngl using the biomes to build a livingdex feels pretty good

Putting it up against oras is huge praise tho o.o at least I have pixelmon for all my open world pokemon needs. ngl using the biomes to build a livingdex feels pretty good I will also say my opinions don't exactly seem to match the opinions of most others but a lot of the complaints I do see are pretty much all how it looks/framerate related issues which tbh just do not bother me whatsoever. I can imagine they'd be more of an issue for online battles and i have heard co-op with multiple people on a map has a lot of issues but I don't do those very often or have even tried co-op at all but for single player it really isn't noticeable? When people compare graphics to looking like TES Oblivion they ain't lying but Oblivion also happens to be my favorite 💀 On the OTHER Hand the map is huge and theres so many like, little crevices and caves and hidden beautiful areas to find. Exploring feels great and I'm still finding little places I havent been to before. Even more with the DLC which also has a pretty sizeable map to run around. I'd say the plot and characters is really where Scarlet and Violet shine the brightest though. They all feel interesting and well developed even if some are kinda hate-able. I cant get over their designs either or that we got a basically-everything-but-outright-stated gay couple (sure people can deny it but that interaction between Brassius and Hassel was NOT STRAIGHT. In fact when I made a typo just now my phone wanted it to correct to "Brassius Husband" so there you go they are gay confirmed.)

Caught another shiny toxicroak that has gone in the dupes box.
Also if anyone wants one of my duplicate shinies feel free to ask. I don't really wanna just let them sit and rot in a pc box. I can even move them to Home first if you want to trade there if you dont have Arceus.
