So on a complete impulse today, I opened up my old unfinished run of Pokerogue and beat Classic mode for the first time c:
Shoutout to Toge for being literally the best 'mon for the Eternatus fight that I could have ever asked for

Woohoo!!!! There she is!! 🎉🎉💞💞

Haven't gotten Manaphy yet, but in the process of catching some 'mons for the dex, I found this green guy!! If I remember correctly, this is the first shiny I've found in this game :D

I am losing. my mind. omg.
This doesn't even account for all the wild encounters I did to try to find this dude, which I'm sure would put my number well into the 2000s 😭

Eliwood perhaps?? He's a good lad c:

HI ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE PLAYED THIS, but I got some evolutions to show off woooooo

Now we're going to the SS Anne :D

Coming back to this after a crazyass week, but I beat Misty!! It was a pretty easy fight, Perri (Oddish) took care of Staryu and Puck (Wartortle) got the Starmie. I honestly thought this would have been harder kbdfjk

Here's the team after the gym battle!

Oddium Wanderus, the one and only <3

does this count as gold??
also this gal is currently my only defense against electric types, lets gooo

I thought my golden shiny streak would end on this route, but it continues apparently!!

worm time ‼️

Gary got himself his own shiny birb :) and promptly killed my rat with it. RIP to Dusty, but the other two beat his 'mons so its okay!

obligatory rat and bird

My starter the Squirtle! I already knew I wanted this guy and he didn't take too long to find :)
Once I get to a name rater, his name will be Puck, unless I can think of something better in the meantime lol

For funsies and because I mentioned it on Twitter,

Pokemon Firered Shinylocke time! But the shiny odds are 1/50 so I don't lose my mind c:
