Hello! Thank you for the question. I’ve been shiny hunting for almost 4 years now. That patience I have has kinda developed over time. It helps that I do a lot of different hunts. When I finish one, I go to another! Very rarely do I do the same hunt twice in a row. It helps to watch vids while I hunt as well. I usually watch other shiny vids or pokemon card openings, since that’s mostly what my sub box is filled with. If a hunt goes on too long, I can always stop and go back to it later on, too. I love finding shinies for not only this blog, but my YouTube channel as well. That always keeps me motivated. Patience is important, but so is motivation! It would of been impossible for me to keep going for my Rowlet, for instance, without motivation. I hope this helps somewhat! Thank you again for the question.
