And then... my favorite shiny catch of the weekend - a Shadow Darkrai! (This one's for you, @skaetlett.bsky.social!)

This one SHOCKED me at work on Sunday, mainly because I did not expect it to be shiny, but it was!

Should I purify it?

More Sunday shinies & a hatch too... mostly all of these were at work (save for the hatch; that was this morning, before I got to work).

(The Seedots (from above) were almost back-to-back too...)

Sunday was my favorite batch of shinies.

2 duplicates (G Zigs... stop it please. I don't need any more of your shiny; next time, make it the Hoenn one.), a set of shiny twins... and THERE'S MORE!

It literally took me about a week or two to realize that it looked like a shiny Ditto as a Stanley cup (Work got me too tired to catch this at first).

But it's PERFECT. I needed to put something on it to make sure I didn't lose it at work, so I used one of the stickers I bought from you! Thank you!

EEVEE BACKPACK!

Good luck, everyone~!

Also, I'm still avoiding EVERYTHING online. Still blind to basically all the new Z-A stuff for the time being. Not for long... at the earliest, Sunday I will play.

I shall return soon. Thank you for your patience and please take care of yourselves out there, wherever you are. I love you all!

Oh man... now I really need to play this! It may not be until next week though, but I will definitely play it soon, promise!

Thank you! I figured as much... but I wasn't going to risk looking up anything, and I really want to be surprised!

Thank you! That's all I needed to know~

Thank you very much! She is doing better right now, but there's still a lot of recovery time ahead.

I appreciate (and liek) the Mudkips.

Thank you! She's doing fine right now and recovering out of the hospital (thanks to pain meds & stuff). The healing & recovery is going to be the longest part.

Well, she got discharged after a while in recovery and we are now back in the hotel for the night.

She's sore, but things went well. Now to help her fully recover and heal!

...I still didn't play any Z-A while waiting. I played Umamusume & Pokémon GO instead. Whoops.

I'll get to it, I swear. 😅

Still waiting. My mom is recovering from pain & anesthesia & they're figuring out if she's okay to leave today or if she should stay overnight.

If she does stay over, I get to take care of myself for the night, so that's something... but hopefully she gets to leave. I'm just so glad she's okay!

She's all done! Her doctor just called me to say that they're about to wake her up & that the procedure went very well! 😊

Hopefully we'll be headed home (a nearby hotel for tonight, actual home tomorrow) in a couple hours!

I feel so relieved & blessed! Thank you all for your prayers and vibes! 🎊

And... she just got wheeled away to the operating room. 😢

I was able to ask questions and meet all the doctors, nurses & students that would be there, so I'm not as nervous as I was before. 😊

Still praying that the Lord carefully guides their hands the whole time & keeps my mom safe and well! 🙏

Thank you! I hope all goes well too! Luckily, she may have a quicker recovery due to HOW her surgery is being done... so I'm hoping we'll have something to truly be thankful for next month!

Thank you very much! She appreciates it a lot!
