can't really hunt because I'm having a lot of hand problems, but I wish everyone good luck with ranch week!!! :D

unfortunately no unowns have shined yet and I can't really hunt today, so I guess this hunt is postponed until december :( excited to see what everyone else has caught in the parade though!!

randomly decided to put in some more chain fishing encounters and found the 5% dragonair after only 11 casts and 7 phases!!! so happy to have gotten this so under odds :)

just kidding I'm going full random lol. it's probably a good idea to save the guaranteed ones for later to get as many possible without many repeats

hunting unown letters f, r, and i in solaceon ruins ( ^ω^ ) we'll see which letter shines first!!

forgot to progress until solaceon town on my eterna quad hunt copies. guess it's time to speedrun them for unown hunting!!

hopefully I'll have more shiny luck with dynamax adventures in the future lol, only 1 (and no targets) this time

first shiny from #DAWeekend :) I would've missed it if I didn't check the summaries!!

started my quest for shiny Dratini/Dragonair via chain fishing in XY, first phase is a failed shiny red Basculin that blew itself up with final gambit :/

dynamax adventures weekend? guess it's time for zygarde hell (￣∇￣) I hope that we can all find some shiny zygardes!!!

For anyone else wanting to contribute to finishing the Unown Keyboard event, I covered it very briefly in the intro to my ranch recap but here's the best possible encounter rate odds for all forms of Unown: all the 100% chance letters ("FRIEND") are still needed needed for the ranch.

finally have a shiny of my favorite pokemon Togetic after chaining on route 230, just in time to submit for #RanchWeek :) named eggnog for the festive season!!

still aiming to find a shiny togepi (plan to submit to the ranch as a togetic!) and shiny chingling, but the random shiny Pelipper on such a special day makes this ranch week even more memorable :)

Full-odds shiny Pelipper on the first encounter of the pokeradar on route 230 in platinum!! named it 'wingding' (which apparently can mean celebration? lol) because a) I submitted my graduate application minutes before the encounter!! and b) bird #RanchWeek
