So... I may have made a slightly irresponsible financial decision...

Live now hunting for full odds Eevee and Drampa in Z-A! This is potentially my final stream before Shiny Alpha Week 2, since I gotta lock in on video editing, so please come say hi!

We finally found the queen full odds last stream, and, after some off-stream research task grinding, I was able to finally get the Masterball to catch her in!

Join me as we finally catch her, train her up, and test her out online, as well as maybe do some Eevee hunting later! twitch.tv/themissl

I've somehow found 3 shinies since beating the game, and none have been this Mawile! It's time to lock in on getting our full odds pink queen, live now!

Since I've beaten the game and am now getting to enjoy fully exploring the city of Lumiose, my partner had me try some French perfume, though it really just made my nose itchy...

Live now finishing up the rest of these side quests, and maybe doing some Alpha Mawile hunting! twitch.tv/themissl

After being unable to fall asleep until 3am last night, I slept in too late and missed catching the new Z-A DLC announcements live!

We'll be talking about all the new info today as we play through the post-game story; how far in the Infinite Z-A Royale will we get? Live now!

I have my final team and our eyes are set on the end of this game! I'm live now with an 8 hour stream, trying to finish the main story of Legends Z-A!

What awaits us at Rank A, and what's been going on with the Prism Tower? Find out with me now! twitch.tv/themissl

Ahhhhh! I should have known Vampurr's interest in Z-A was just a ruse! He's not even drinking all my blood, just letting it spill all over the place!

We are live now with more Legends Z-A story! We're coming up on the endgame, will we reach Rank A today?

It took me 3 hours, but I finally decided on a fit to match my shiny alpha Froslass last stream, with a lot of help from chat! Now can we finally progress the story and reach Rank B?!?

Live now! twitch.tv/themissl

So I may have found literally the perfect shiny last stream...

A female shiny alpha snorunt, full odds, with a timid nature, before I've even beaten the game!!!!

I still haven't caught it yet because I'm live now going fit shopping to match the Froslass and some great pics! twitch.tv/themissl

So it turns out I *was* being watched... by this guy! Everyone, meet Vampire, it turns out he just wanted to see what Z-A looks like, so we've been hanging out now!

Live now still hunting for a female shiny snorunt! How many phases will we get today? twitch.tv/themissl

I'm having fun playing Z-A, but since when did my house get so cold and dark?

Live now hunting for a female shiny Froslass for my Z-A playthrough team! What will we phase on today? twitch.tv/themissl

I've been really enjoying hanging out in Z-A with my shiny alpha Snover, but I'm still having that strange feeling of being watched from a bit ago, it's weird to feel this uneasy during the Halloween season...

Live now with Day 6 of Z-A! Rank B here we come! twitch.tv/themissl

I might have found something insane after literally just an hour of dedicated hunting last night...

Y'know as a black cat, October generally is a good time of year for me, but for some reason I keep feeling this strange shiver down my spine while I'm trying to lock in and play some Z-A, very strange.

Live now with Day 4 of Z-A! Will we find our first shiny today? twitch.tv/themissl

I may or may not have spent an hour on day one in this exhibit as if it was a real life museum... it was heaven.

Live now for 8 hours with day 3 of our Legends Z-A playthrough! Surely we make some actual food story progress today, right?

I changed scarves to better match my character, what do y'all think of the Kalos tourist fit?

Live now with day 2 of my Z-A playthrough! Will we find a shiny while progressing the story?

IT'S FINALLY TIME! Maybe I should have thrown on my green scarf to color match better 🤔

I am live for as long as I can be playing through Legends Z-A! I completely understand if y'all are avoiding spoilers, but if you'd be willing to open a lurk tab I'd greatly appreciate it!

They may have changed the website at some point since we've gotten new trailers, I'm not sure why I can't find it now, but I do have this screenshot of the official website saying "Alpha Pokémon" from October 2nd!

Permutations are a bit complex to explain in a Bluesky thread, so please check out www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzoX... for Sir Toasty Toes’s video guide or tiny.cc/permutationguide for my in depth guide doc! This is the best way to get shalphas of species in Legends Arceus that aren't statics. 🧵 (6/7)
A graphic titled "What Is The 'Permutation' Method?" with the Shiny Alpha Week logo and Miss L's twitch link in the corner. A text box below reads "The Permutation Method is a way of manipulating the spawns of an outbreak to get different checks on all spawns after the first four. This is the most commonly used on MMO outbreaks that have a second wave of entirely alphas, in order to maximize the odds of getting a shiny alpha. While this method is possible for every Pokémon that can spawn in MMOs (and even technically for normal outbreaks), it is recommended to learn the method on an aggressive species of Pokémon at the same time, and for aggressive Pokémon, this is as simple as multi-battling them. For passive Pokémon, however, you need to hit a number of them with berries and warp away while they are scared, which can be difficult." Below the text box are a few extra lines of text reading "Sir ToastyToes has a very well made, concise video guide for permutations at youtube.com/@SirToastyToes; For my incredibly long but in-depth Google Doc guide, visit tiny.cc/PermutationGuide"

If you have unlocked MMOs, then for a select number of static alphas in Legends Arceus, you can actually do soft-resets for them! If you want to focus on one of these mons specifically, this is the fastest way to hunt for them. SBCoop has a great video guide here! youtu.be/uUzLNMORax8?... 🧵 (5/7)
A graphic titled "How Do You Soft Reset For Shiny Alphas?" with the Shiny Alpha Week logo and Miss L's twitch link in the corner. A text box below reads "For any Pokémon spawns that get 'replaced' by a Massive Mass Outbreak, you can actually soft-reset to shiny hunt them! This is most often done on any static alphas that you want to specifically target, and only works for the following alphas. Simply find an MMO with an outbreak over the usual spawn, clear out the outbreak, save, and reset the game until you get your shiny!" Below the text box are five colored boxes labeled for each area with images of the static alphas that can be reset for there. The Obsidian Fieldlands has Luxio, Floatzel, Alakazam, Staravia, and Golbat; the Crimson Mirelands has Raichu, Ursaring, Yanmega, Lickilicky, Sliggoo, Toxicroak, and Skuntank; the Cobalt Coastlands has Chansey, Mothim, Octillery, Machoke, and Drapion; the Coronet Highlands has Electivire, Rhyperior, Gligar, Probopass, Steelix, Golem, Carnivine, Goodra, and Mothim; and the Alabaster Icelands has Gardevoir, Mamoswine, Glalie, and Garchomp

Here are the routes for the other two areas! I plan to spend my time after my playthrough of Z-A researching and documenting all the ways of hunting shiny alphas, so hopefully I can make a similar thread for you all for Z-A before this event starts! 🧵 (4/7)

There are a few ways to hunt for shiny alphas in Legends Arceus, but the simplest is to use the static alphas that spawn in each map. Here are the routes I use for checking them, found at game8.co/games/Pokemo... 🧵 (3/7)
A graphic titled "What are the best ways to hunt for Shiny Alpha Pokémon in Legends Arceus?" with the Shiny Alpha Week logo and Miss L's twitch link in the corner. There are three text boxes below, the first of which reads: "The easiest way to hunt for Shiny Alpha Pokémon is to utilize the static alphas found on each map. Simply go to the map with a static alpha you want, fly over to check it, and if it's not shiny, then reset back to Jubilife! For those who want to check every static alpha, the routes I use are included in this thread." The second says "Unfortunately, resetting to Jubilife does take quite a while each time, and gives a high likelihood of phasing. The other major downside is this method only works for species that have static alphas. There are luckily two other methods of hunting for shiny alphas in Legends Arceus, each of which solves one of these issues: soft resets and the permutation method." The final text box reads: "The most basic soft resets can be done on any Pokémon in a 'sub-area,' like Snowpoint Temple. If you save before entering, you can check the Pokémon, then reset the game." Next to the final text box, there are two images of shiny Crobat and Gallade, which have labels of "Wayward Cave (Coronet Highlands)" and "Snowpoint Temple (Alabaster Icelands)" respectively.

I will be streaming every day during the week, trying to find as many shiny alphas as I can, and I encourage you to join me! If you find a shiny alpha, you can either post it here under #shalphaweek or send it to me on discord! Finds in both Legends Arceus and Z-A are encouraged! 🧵 (2/7)
Graphic reading "What is Shiny Alpha Week?" with the Shiny Alpha Week logo as well as the link to Miss L's twitch account. Underneath are three textboxes, the first reads "As a celebration of the return of alpha Pokémon I am hosting another full week of shiny alpha hunting! Adventure into the wonderous lands of Hisui and Kalos and search for the strongest and largest shinies you can find!" The second says "I will be live on my twitch channel every single day of the week, hunting for shiny alpha Pokémon! This is a community event! If you find a shiny alpha Pokémon, let me know by posting to Bluesky with #ShalphaWeek or ping me on discord with a screenshot showing the met date, and I'll add it to the submissions!" The final text box reads "While shiny alpha hunting in PLA has been pretty thoroughly documented, I am hosting this event a month after Z-A's release so that we can find the best ways to hunt for shiny alphas there first! For more info on PLA shiny alpha hunting, check out the rest of this thread!"
