A shiny sandile appeared for me on my white badge quest, after 10211 random encounters! As I said in the post for my last badge quest shiny, I was hunting in the Desert Resort for any of the pokemon in the area aside from sandile, as it’s the only one I already had in gen 5. (I think I jinxed myself saying that. Haha) It is a really great shiny though, and thankfully I never evolved my first shiny sandile, so it is still my first shiny krookodile. I will be staying in the desert resort for at least one more phase, hopefully I can get something new next!

The entirety of my White Badge Quest.

Shiny Chimecho! He hatched for me after only 316 eggs. In looking through my bankball boxes to pick a hunt as usual, I realized that I have done very few safari ball hunts, despite how much time I've spent bolstering my options. I decided to go for chimecho, since it's a shiny I've never hunted in any generation. It seemed only appropriate to do the hunt in hoenn, and I'm so glad to have him!

Shiny own tempo rockruff! He hatched for me after 581 eggs. I completed my hunts for Midday and Midnight lycanroc relatively early on in gen 7, so completing the family was something I really wanted to get done before gen 8 begins. I couldn't decide if I wanted to breed it in a moon ball to match the other two, or a heavy ball, so I decided to just breed with both and see what happened. Heavy ball ultimately won!

Shiny Dedenne! This is one of the longest egg hunts I've had in a very long time. (which I oddly don't mind sometimes, it made me all the more excited when it finally hatched) Unfortunately, I lost my egg count when my previous phone died. I started it this hunt on my moon version several months before the Let's Go games came out, then took a short break when they did. I'm bummed I don't have the count, but it was enough eggs to have completed four seperate egg hunts on other games that I ran alongside it. haha

So happy to have her finally!

Shiny (Sensu Style) Oricorio! She actually hatched for me during the pre-hunt, before I even bred a masuda method parent on my Japanese games, but thankfully after I had bred the IV's, nature and egg moves that I wanted. This is my first oricorio hunt, but I intend to do the other 3 styles eventually. (Maybe that's silly, considering Oricorio can change forms. I collected them all in apricorn balls to match the respective styles, though, so the collector in me needs them to coordinate. haha) Of course I had to start with the style that best matches my favorite ball available!

Shiny Snorlax! There are several gen 6 hunts that I started years ago at this point and never completed. This being one of them, I honestly don't know how many total eggs were hatched. I bred for Snorlax instead of Munchlax, because I didn't want to sacrifice having an everstone or destiny knot, but my inner completionist will more than likely cause me to do Munchlax at some point, too. Haha

Shiny Hawlucha! He hatched for me after 2036 eggs. This is just such an epic shiny, I don't know how I haven't hunted it until now, but I'm super psyched that I was able to breed it in a moon ball thanks to Ultra Sun & Moon!

Shiny Sandile! She hatched for me while I was still in the process of breeding a 6IV parent on my Japanese sun version for the actual hunt! She still came out with IV’s that I was satisfied with, so I didn’t even have to officially start the hunt.

Shiny Goomy! She hatched for me after 771 eggs. This is one of those shinies that I have always loved and meant to hunt, but never have before. I absolutely love something about the more pastel shades being broken up by the vibrant purple on all 3 stages. I'm also really glad I waited so long to do this hunt now, it made breeding it in a love ball possible and I think looks great!

Shiny Scraggy! She hatched for me after only 283 eggs, with intimidate on the first phase! I've been meaning to do this hunt since Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon came out, it was one of the first pokemon I went to catch in an Apricorn Ball for hunting purposes. I just love how perfectly a Friend Ball compliments shiny Scrafty! So happy to finally have this completed.

Shiny Pheromosa appeared for me, after 2044 soft resets! I took a short break from hunting Ultra Beasts, as for a while after Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon came out, I was hunting them in rapid succession out of excitement that their shiny locks had been removed. I wanted to slow down and savor being able to hunt them a little more. After I got my most desired shiny Ultra Beasts, I've honestly just been hunting them in order of Ultra Spaces I've landed in, but I'm super stoked I finally landed in the Ultra Dessert! I think the gradient shiny coloration of Pheromosa is really neat, I kind of hope we see the same concept for other shiny Pokemon in the future.

Shiny Mudbray! I decided to do two phases for this hunt so that I could have both shiny Mudbray and Mudsdale, as I just love them both. The first shiny hatched for me after 1310 eggs, and the second came after only another 491 eggs. I love how the look together, and as always I'm super happy that I was able to do a hunt using level balls!

Shiny Alolan Meowth! It took two phases to get one with Rattled. The first hatched after only 353 eggs, and the second with it’s HA, after an additional 860 eggs. This is a hunt I was honestly considering doing two phases for, because I just love Alolan Meowth (especially with the gorgeous shiny coloration) and it’s nice to be able to keep one un-evolved. Also excited I was able to use a heavy ball for this hunt, I think it fits amazingly!

Shiny Pichu! She hatched for me after 1385 eggs on my Omega Ruby Version! This isn’t my first Shiny Pichu, but Pichu is one of the few remaining egg hunts I did right before getting serious about wanting them to have the Stats/Natures/Egg Moves/ECT that were still on my list to re-do. I decided to do the hunt in Gen 6, because I already know I’ll be doing a Pichu hunt in Gen 7 for an Alolan Raichu at some point in the future. I got my shiny with it’s hidden ability on the first phase of the hunt this time, and I even got a female! Which is exactly what I was hoping for, since my last Pichu was a boy.

Shiny Snubbull hatched for me on my virtual console Silver Version, after 128 eggs! I actually had the insanely lucky experience of after getting her, I then got two more shiny Snubbull in the remaining 20 Eggs I had collected in the PC! I borderline thought I was going crazy. For anyone who has seen my past Virtual Console Gen 2 hunts, you know that I’m drawn to hunting for Shinies that are a different colors than the shiny forms we have in modern Pokemon games, and while the differences for Snubbull are more subtle, Shiny Granbull is a gorgeous, almost charcoal color in Generation 2! ( As opposed to the peach colored Shiny Granbull we have today. ) I absolutely love this version of the shiny, it leaves so much more of an impact on me and feels like it fits Granbull perfectly!

Shiny Latios!! He appeared for me after just 813 soft resets on my Omega Ruby! I saved my Eon Tickets events from when they were distributed on both Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, because I knew that I would want to shiny hunt them eventually. I completed my Latias hunt over a year ago and I’m so happy to finally have completed the duo! This is actually my second time hunting them, I hunted Latios years ago on my Black 2. Latias and Latios have always had a special place in my heart, during gen 3 there was a time I even considered Latios my favorite Pokémon and I have fond memories of being over the moon when I finally caught it as a kid. Because of this, I knew I wanted to hunt it again to try for one with decent IVs and Nature to bring with me in all future generations. Thankfully, my sync worked and I even caught it in a randomly thrown Dive Ball, which was pretty neat!

Shiny Turtonator! She hatched for me after 577 eggs! This hunt has been on my list since before Sun & Moon were even officially released, I really love Turtonator and I’m not even fully sure why. I think it’s partially because even though it’s this big fire dragon that explodes, it still acts like a goof in the anime sometimes. I’m so happy I was able to use Level Balls in a hunt! I always want to do so, but brown shinies (or just shinies that go well with a Level Ball in general) are not that common and I’ve already done a lot of the hunts that I think perfectly fit it. (like Donphan, for example.) Anyway, happy to finally check it off my to-hunt list!
