After 14,518 encounters I now have a shiny I never thought would be possible.

My #DAWeekend finds plus a Numel (4923 Encounters) I was hunting at the same time.

My #SafariWeek2025 so far -

Exeggcute - 2753 Encounters
Doduo - 1408 Encounters
Nidoran♂ - 8020 Encounters
2nd Nidoran♂ - 8860 Encounters

First Deoxys obtained in 68 resets. I guess that makes up for my last hunt taking 18,591 encounters.

First #RumbleWeekend and already got my first rumble shiny while still beating the game.

Just accidentally completed one of my goals for the year by getting my first ever Safari Zone shiny and it was completely random. I was just looking for a Kangaskhan for dex completion and it appeared. At a guess, it was probably less than 200 encounters since my last shiny (The Silph Co. Lapras)

2nd Pokémon for my all shiny LeafGreen Playthrough obtained. Only 6287 encounters.

Quick start to #shalphaweek
Phased early on a Hisuian Avalugg then got my Alpha Budew first spawn from the second wave of an MMO.

2nd pair of #UnownChallenge2025
This Charmander took 21976 Resets and will also be the start of a Shiny only playthrough of LeafGreen.

Starting #UnownChallenge2025 with Unown "I" and 2 Phases on the way (Psyduck & Carnivine) Then pairing it with 2 Marked Indeedee with 3 phases (Espathra, Hatterene & Hattrem)

While I do want all Pokémon to be shiny hunt-able. I still love the idea of completion rewards.

And Shiny Lunala is done. I can't believe I got 3 more shinnies in my next 10 DA's after going 80 without. It feels so good to finally have Lunala done. Now I've got some other hunts to return to but I will certainly be back to start Solgaleo next #DAWeekend

Late to post but here are my #DAWeekend shinnies. I got them in DA 6 and 22. In total I did 102 successful DA's over the weekend. Taking my all time Lunala attempts to 246. Was fun doing DA's again, so I plan on finishing the Lunala hunt before going back to my other targets.

Small update on my recent shiny hunting. I got a destiny mark Zweilous as a phase while hunting Roaring Moon on my birthday. Then today I got a Corsola chain fishing in Y.

First shiny of the year, 5217 encounters (1739 Resets)
