You know, I’m Masuda methoding a poplio right now via the shiny swap method, and I had a hopeful dream the other night. I dreamt that I hatched not one shiny Magikarp but TWO. TWO SHINY GOLD CARPS! And I thought–wow! I could just soft reset, gather a bunch of poplio eggs and get 2 out of the 3 shiny poplios I need! Lucky!

And that’s when I realized

That it was just a dream

And I have no golden carps in any of my boxes. I’m a little over 300, approaching 400 eggs right now and I hope it doesn’t last much longer womp

[happyhunting700]

Lol going for 900 eggs 😂😂😂😭

[happyhunting700]

1170 eggs aha hha ah ha

[happyhunting700]

Ok but what the fuck

I have a question for y’all: what was your longest Masuda method hunt with the shiny charm in gen 6 or 7???

At the time of posting this, I have gone over 2,345 eggs and not a single shiny to be found

So I did a binomial distribution to see how fucked I am, and it seems that if I were to repeat these encounters multiple times then nearly 99% of those runs would produce a shiny by this time!

I guess this is payback for getting a shiny Omanyte in one egg huh

My longest hunt was around there! I had a chimecho hunt in X go over 2300. Can't remember the exact number but it was about there. Masuda, charm, everything.

It's just real bad luck! Gamblers fallacy, and all that. It definitely happens.

Here's Alty hatching!

Altissima was born after a measly 232 eggs! I hatched him in Parfum Palace because he’s a prince.

good ol’ Waffle, a girl who is far too happy about everything to bother opening her eyes.

WAFFLE!!!!!!!! feat. Junichi Kanemaru cause I didn’t wanna pause my music.

Waffle’s a Modest Sniper with 5 perfect IVs who came after 517 eggs! I love her! Soon she will have many arms!

Finding a shiny pokemon

Youtubers and Twitch streamers: OH MY GAWD THERE IT IS LIVE SHINY (pokemon name) ON SCREEN

Me: *GASP* *whispers* yes

[shinyblaziken]

gather round its story time

on st patricks day of 2014 i was hatching wynaut for my rocket collection and my shiny hatched after whatever amount of eggs. i went to the IV checker to see what its stats were like and as i walked into the pokemon center, the egg directly after it began to hatch. i let it, as you do, and looked away from my screen for only a moment. when i came back to it, that’s when i saw what is, to this day, the most incredible thing that’s ever happened to me as a hunter--a second shiny wynaut had hatched, directly after the last, with no non-shiny eggs in between them.

one boy and one girl. i gave the girl to a friend and kept the boy for myself, and given that he was born on a holiday celebrating luck, given his incredible odds, i elected to name him Lucky.

Wobbuffet is my favourite pokemon, and Lucky was very special to me. unfortunately, a few years ago my sapphire cartridge broke and all my shinies were taken with it. Today I finally decided to reclaim Lucky, and I even caught the parent in a luxury ball to let him know how special he was whenever he decided to show himself to me. 

Lucky must’ve known I missed him a lot, because I didn’t even get to finish breeding for natures before he ran to my arms. He hatched in exactly one box, on the 30th egg. It’s not quite the odds he had before, but it is still pretty incredible. That’s how I know it’s him, that’s how I know this is a real reclaim.

I literally cannot put into words how happy this has made me, I wasn’t expecting to feel like this was my old friend crossing dimensions to see me again but I do, I absolutely feel that way. Not only did he keep his ridiculous luck, but his original birthday--March 17th--is only four days from his new one.

Don’t give up! Remember that friendship surpasses all odds!
