I love statistics and shiny hunting!

The squad is finally complete! (well, missing one who’s still inaccessible, but anyway…)

A shiny girl Venipede took 17 phases (🫩), and the shiny Staryu had a shiny twin when I checked!

Vinnie, I’m finally coming to battle you!! Thanks for waiting! 😅 #plza

The percentages probably won’t seem too bad to many until they consider just how many active users they report having… this is horrifying

2 of 5 shiny team members for #PLZA!

I am having to mix in some afk periods to increase my encounters at this point, or I will never battle Vinnie at this rate…

Remaining Members:
Venipede - Phase 12, 2.7k encounters
Staryu - Phase 2, 375 encounters
Helioptile - Inaccessible currently

Almost exactly at odds for my first horde shiny! Just in time for PLZA shiny hunting.

Technically, this was a #CaveWeek overtime hunt, too

I have never had a shiny Pokémon that wanted to die on the first turn more than this one 😭😭😭

Explosion & Memento kill it instantly. Destiny Bond kills it if your mon dies. The ability, Neurtalizing Gas, prevents the use of the ability, Damp, to prevent Explosion. 😭😭😭

Reset 3 times to get it…

#PokemonLegendsZA catch???

Corbeau may be related to Carmine & Kieran!
1. Same eye color, main hair color, & skin tone
2. Has a simple irritation quirk to Carmine’s
3. Has both Kieran’s purple & Carmine’s red in his outfit
4. Overqwil thing behind him actually looks like an Ogre Ousting balloon!
Screenshot of Ogre Ousting minigame balloons from Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Note the shape! Screenshot of the July Pokemon Presents’s Pokemon Legends ZA extended look showing the Overqwil thing behind Corbeau in his offices, which has a similar shape and texture as the Ogre Ousting balloons
