I play Crash Bandicoot. I hunt shiny Pokémon. When all the stars align, I might even post on Bluesky.
Well, it was fun while it lasted. At least it was only 399 encounters so I can't really complain, surely phase 6 will give me my shroom ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Yeah I haven't really posted on bluesky, but only because I haven't found shinies and I don't use social media outside of archiving my shinies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But now I phased once again for Shroomish: Shiny Taillow after 21.171 encounters, relaxed nature (terrible), I'm just happy it's not a pooch :)

Encountered my very first hunted shiny and the first member of my Diamond DTQ after 5779 REs, I'm so hyped to press on right now! (ಥ﹏ಥ)
Thanks again @_miketroid and his community for introducing me to shiny hunting!

Finally reclaimed Budew after 18830 random encounters! I will still be staying in Eterna Forest for Murkrow though.

Looks like a got myself a New Year's Eve shiny after only 3956 encounters (phase 2 though, but phase 1 was under odds too), and it even was my target!

My first shiny of 2021, and a blazingly fast hunt too with only 1025 REs! (Actually, it's even my fastest hunt so far)

Taking a break during the Hippo hunt for my DTQ with #SafariWeek2021, and it's off to a good start with this pink boi after 4613 encounters! He even stayed in the fourth ball!

Decided to start hunting in SoulSilver to make the shiny drought in my Diamond file less painful. We're off to a good start with a shiny Totodile at 1615 SRs/4845 seen! Its nickname is a tribute to @_miketroid's late Totodile that was released during his Crystal sleeplocke.

Originally I started Darkrai in Diamond via void glitch for #WeekofLegends but I guess it decided to wait for October to be a halloween shiny after a horrendous 25,899 soft resets! Despite the low catch rate I still went for my trusty Premier Balls, and got it in the 29th one

I started the Hippopotas hunt months ago with four Geodude phases, but now after I picked it up again after completing a casual BD run I literally got this Hippopotas after 28 more encounters - in total this phase took me 37,278 REs and the whole hunt was a grand total of 62,842!

Remember the Hippo barely a week ago? I guess my Diamond felt sorry because it gave me the last DTQ member, a hasty Sneasel after only 3,494 REs first phase, can't wait to evolve the remaining members and challenge the elite four - but first, shiny Dialga ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I got a pink monkey while hunting for my DTQ - I wish I was talking about Chimchar in BDSP but no, I phased on Aipom after 15,584 Headbutts for Heracross in SS ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Though since it came only two days after the Sneasel and it's also the rarest Headbutt target, I can't be mad

I- I don't know what to say, I just got the pink monkey I was actually looking for in Shining Pearl ON THE VERY SAME DAY I got Aipom in SoulSilver, after only 1075 resets! Anyway, it's sassy so good thing mints exist in this game ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I can't believe my shiny luck recently, shiny Misdreavus after only 584 REs in Eterna Forest, and it's what I actually needed for my DTQ! (Yeah, I'm doing a DTQ in Shining Pearl now :P)

Went a bit over odds for this Wurmple (6351 REs), but it's definitely a great way to start the year! I appreciate that it's going to evolve into Silcoon, which I can't hunt directly in Shining Pearl's Eterna Forest... also shoutout to @Blademan545 for guessing the nature!

Decided to start another DTQ (this time Sword) a while ago and just now got the first member after 3,629 overworld encounters! Hope getting this one just under odds is a good omen for the rest of the team :)

My gen 8 shiny luck is cracked, I decided to start a DTQ on my Shield file as well and only 1,366 encounters in I found this pretty little Nickit! So glad I could finish this hunt before pouring my entire Switch playtime into Legends Arceus ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Despite 30+ hours and a lot of investment in filling up dex entries I didn't find a shiny in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, until now :]
Was trying to find a shiny Starly in a mass outbreak, but the game had different plans
