How would any character react to finding a shiny Pokémon? Have either of you two found a shiny Pokémon?
Mod Ho-Oh here has!! A shiny Surskit in the wild and had a shiny Cyndaquil given by the one and only Professor Birch! I loved him so much for that, not to mention that shiny AF Beldum from Steven. AAAaaaAAaaaA Steven~ lmao I’m pretty sure I’ve had more… but I can’t remember??? any of them??? LOLOLOL….>.>
I’m going to go ahead and pick… Professor Birch, only cause he gave me a shiny Cyndaquil
He’s flabbergasted at what a rarity he’s come across. He’s probably attacked by it tbh lololol
After being attacked by it, he befriends the Pokemon quite quickly. The Pokemon that’s jumping into my mind is a shiny Eevee… even though Eevee’s aren’t found in the wild in Hoenn…
I saw this post on shiny Pokemon with biological terms implemented into them. I can’t really remember the source or the exact wording but it was theorising the idea of “the reason why shiny Pokemon are rare in the wild/in the game, is because their coat attracts predators towards them (the example was an Eevee I believe). They’re abandoned by their parents at a young age and cannot fend for themselves. Their shiny coats are different to their habitat and therefore, cannot camouflage.” Something like that. And if that’s the case (cause it really does sound plausible), Birch’s field of expertise is Pokemon and their habitats. I find he’d be ecstatic into finding out the environmental impacts that cause shinies to appear and how they are affected.
He’d probably ring up a shitton of other professors to ask them about it. They probably can’t understand him because he’s shouting down the phone very rapidly…
He’s not going to evolve it. Eevee and Birch will be like Pikachu and Ash jokes
Mod Lugia has only found a shiny Pokémon, but boy, was it a surprise. It was a green Ursaring I found in Pokémon X and I swear I hadn’t been so hyped in a while XDDD
I think I will choose Professor Sycamore because he is the Professor from them game in which I found my only shiny.
He has studied Pokémon long enough to know that shiny ones do exist, even if they are so rare; even if we think about this, every time he finds a shiny Pokémon he. Goes. Wild.
He is good at making good friends with the Pokémon, and does so with an easy smile and some snacks. He introduces it to his partners and is euphoric as he studies their interactions.
Not because he found a rare Pokémon will he treat his other ones poorly. There is enough Sycalove for everyone~
When he first found a shiny Pokémon, he was yet a young apprentice and, well, he got a bit too excited. His partners said that he looked like he was about to combust.
He hasn’t captured a sole shiny, ever. More like, the ones he has studied had been temporary partners that he still finds around his laboratory from time to time.
