Thread of my opinion on EVERY pokemon and form in order. I will be updating this with one pokemon/form at a time whenever I feel like it. Feel free to add your own opinions too :3

By the way, I’ve been doing this on and off for the last few months and FINALLY Bleep is at level 100! Took a while but we got there in the end! Time to rush to Kyogre :)

Vi@viviolet.standingintheodds.com

Level 100 before the first gym update: This is the results of my lunch break and after work grinding. I wasn’t totally into it as I was doing other things primarily but I’d say this is a nice pace! Bleep evolving was also very cool :)

On that note, anyone know how to multi hunt on emulator? I think I wanna quad hunt but I have no clue how to go about it…

Vi@viviolet.standingintheodds.com

would you guys think less of me as a shiny hunter if i hunted on an emulator and transfered to the actual game? i prefer playing on actual system for a number of reasons but because of my schedule and stuff shiny hunting in colosseum on my actual gamecube is a bit out of reach for me right now </3

My favorite grinding trick in colosseum is putting an EXP share on the Pokémon you want to level and having it in your 2 main battle slots essentially giving it 3/4 of the exp

I’ve been playing deltarune so I haven’t been hunting super hard but MY FIRST SHINY FOR #SafariWeek2026 IS SHINY KRABBY!!!! I love this stupid little thing I’m so glad I caught it :)

update of sorts, bleep is at level 32 and i now have a total of 23 rare candies! hopefully if all goes well within a few days bleep should be at level 100 and ready to run to kyogre!

Accidentally started a level 100 gauntlet, oopsies! Just wanted to grind a bit on my sapphire before I started the playthrough to get to Kyogre and now I’m kinda far gone and just gotta take it to the end

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD #RanchWeek

Vi@viviolet.standingintheodds.com

i havent hunted for it at all yet but i want it to be known i had a DREAM ABOUT RANCH WEEK and i failed 2 shinies in it. goes to show im in for a rough week ...

Here’s some more photos of her with her new name, Eucalyptus <3 I might keep her a grovyle since it has such a nice balance of colors in its shiny. Glad to be on the board for #RanchWeek so early, retagging since I changed the name and forgot the summary screen lol

the fact that these are 2 plushies i bought off the pokemon center website in 2026 is simply crazy to me. what do you mean i just bought ash greninja AND eternal floette. those guys dont exist.

WHAT!!! WHAATTT?!!?!!??! WHAT !!? WHAAAAT?!!??!??!?!!!!)??!???!??!&,):?)!

I’m so awesome part 5 This Pokédex sucks to complete, and forgive me if I’m wrong, but is this the only mythical that actually full stop requires you own the game to get? The mega dex only updates if you get their stones in ZA right? Either way I wish it was magearna but cool regardless!

Vi@viviolet.standingintheodds.com

I’m so awesome part 4 BDSP will not be for a while, but I’ve had a lot of fun doing these! I am a bit sad these are (almost) all normal encounters that are shiny locked instead being given as gifts, but they’re still pretty neat all things considered

Anyone have a ZA Gimmighoul they’d be willing to trade me? I evolved mine and frankly I might go crazy before I find the special scan. It’s literally all I have left

Soooo… trade evolutions, anyone?

Serebii Update: Pokémon HOME has added a new distribution Get a Shiny Volcanion if you finish your Lumiose Pokédex, Hyperspace Pokédex and Mega Pokédex in Pokémon HOME www.serebii.net

ok this is driving me NUTS so to my knowledge these zeraora should all have had their size randomized, yet when i looked ive seen a few different posts about zeraora being XS specifically. is there a chance its scale is still set to zero from the initial release?? or am i just nuts.

Vi@viviolet.standingintheodds.com

hey guys quick question if you dont mind me asking have any of you transferred in the home shiny Zeraora to ZA yet? if so what size was it? because for some reason mine is super small. like ultra tiny. i dont know the exact size value but it is JARRINGLY smaller than the ZA Zeraora

MY THIRD SHINY FOR MY FIRERED BADGE QUEST IS A GAME CORNER ABRA AFTER 2,145 BOUGHT! Erika was even easier thanks to my 2 flying types! Kadabra didn’t see much use since it’s still behind in levels. and we’ve got Charizard now! Giga drain went to golbat since I think it’ll be nicely used there :)

Vi@viviolet.standingintheodds.com

Took down misty with no trouble at all thanks to goober! Next I’m thinking a game corner shiny because, well, obviously! They’re super fast and easy to do pretty mindlessly! Plus it’s something that’s kinda been lost as the series progressed.

Next up: I don’t know! Probably gonna bounce between hunts as I try and find what I wanna hunt for the next badges but Eevee and Hitmonchan are both strong contenders I wanna look at getting a leaf green copy to double hunt, since I have the gameboys for it but not the games…

I wasn’t intending on doing a badge quest but when you give me a RANDOM SHINY ZUBAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRST GYM I just kinda have to go with the flow Fucking screaming

didnt mean to write goober but i guess golbat has a nickname now! unsure what i wanna name my future charizard tho... right now im doing game corner abra checks during my breaks, as they last about 10 minutes with maxed out coins. when im home though its treecko resets all the way

When it comes to XD and Colo on switch, even without home compatibility or even cross compatibility, I’m still gonna play and shiny hunt in them. If I can, I will probably get all the data I can gleam from the games and put the pokemon I catch in my own actual gen 3 games.

It’s not exactly legit but as far as I’m concerned, I’m still actually legitimately hunting and catching these pokemon. Wish they just had home compatibility but oh well!

im thinking about doing uncatchable week this year, hopefully with both gen 3 starters and XD going. i thought about setting up a catchable-uncatchable starly but it doesnt exactly feel in the spirit of the event.

teensy marked scorbunny from the community day! im still working out how to fit shiny hunting properly into my working schedule without taking time away from other things. i miss it!

I should continue this huh
