One of my least favorite trends that’s likely the result of an algorithm is all the Pokemon Youtube videos labelled “can i beat [x] using only [y]?”

The answer is, if its vanilla game content, more than likely!

Hisuian Pokemon, shinies, Eeveelutions. It doesnt matter. Its easy.

I dont understand people who think that method hunting or hunting with lower rates are taking the easy way out, or that full odds hunting is “superior”.

Like wow. You spent so much more time on your hunt than me. Congrats? I think I’m the winner here tbh—

Trying to start my next hunt in my Omega Ruby shiny badge challenge (Mawile), but realizing that encounter rate in Granite Cave is... interesting.

Which is to say: running around on my bike, I'm lucky to get one encounter in five minutes.

And shiny Zigzagoon in Omega Ruby after 6725 horde encounters and 20 DexNav encounters! Can finally get my next badge after nearly FOUR MONTHS of hunting! (Admittedly with a bit of a break there for bg3–)

I was lucky enough to get it on a fifth encounter so I dont even have to worry abt leveling :)

Shiny Fuecoco get! Approx 548 eggs (not counting the many many hatch batches I did before I really dug in this past lil bit)

Masuda Method still bores my brains out, but with the success I've been having (Phione was 242 eggs), I might try and do a few "optional" Masudas like Dreepy and Tynamo...

“I’ll try drawing a bit” i said, before remembering that Paleo Pines released today.

Now its work time :(

My wrist is hurting a lot less lately. Mostly use my compression glove when it starts getting sore from too much computer gaming.

Maybe, just maybe, I can start trying to draw again...?

I don't think I've shared my shiny bingo here yet so. Here it is!

I REALLY got into shiny hunting over the past year or so and saw a couple of bingo cards in the tags over on the other site, so decided to do a card for 2023. I made it fairly balanced between methods. That was a mistake.

Serpent tree.
From a faerie kingdom I'm poking at. They use the ouroboros (or something like it) as their house emblem. The symbol permeates into everything.
This was part of a bigger sketch dump but I drew it so tiny it gets its own post.

At over 6k encounters for shiny Zigzagoon (or Poochyena) in my OR shiny challenge… part of me is tempted to just dexnav it but i already have so few horde hunts planned it would be a shame to toss this one aside

Calling all bat lovers! 🦇
Next to unlock is the bat pendant! Learn more: tinyurl.com/me9r66ac

A lot like vultures, bats are ecosystem superheroes who need good PR/ more positive representation in art & media. Here are a few of our wildlife rehab sky puppy patients, they're wonderful!

I've been playing the Teal Mask DLC for less than two hours and I've found two shinies while running around and ignoring story to explore and fill out my dex.

BEST PART? IT WAS THE TWO POKEMON I WAS LIKE "Oh those would be nice to hunt in the DLC theres not a good hunt for them in a modern game"

Now that I’m trying to reduce/eliminate my time in The Other Place, its time for my stream of consciousness thoughts to end up over here.

Like, for example: i was just looking back at some random dream-inspired worldbuilding and got the itch to design a character for the world again.

The baby goldfinches grow up so fast! We are absolutely inundated with them since it's their season; goldfinches breed super late to coincide with the bloom of super fatty seeds like thistle. We get babies sometimes into November! 🪶
