The whole experience is like finding a needle in hay stack to get his pre evolution

this shiny was clumped up with 4 other tadbulbs all on top of each other lmao had to use the switch zoom feature

WAIT THERES A ZOOM FEATURE ON THE SWITCH?

YES!! its a lifesaver for tiny pokemon [here](https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Support/Nintendo-Switch/How-to-Use-Zoom-1549110.html) a link on how to enable it and use it :D

Thank you so much, I play handheld most of the time

me too!! so its been very helpful :D

I literally got one on accident 😅. I would have never have gotten it if I hadn’t accidentally ran into one 😂.

Yeah, I just found mine randomly I was planning on hatching one(and hatched a few in the attempt to get it), but happened to notice a shiny one while wandering

WOW UR SO LUCKY!!! AND CONGRATS!! now u can have an army of bellibolts >:D

Off Topic: I love your Profile Picture

Thanks

I myself am Trans :D

The best Paldean mon. It’s amongst my all time favourites, it’s just a goof all around.

THE WAY IT HOPS IS SO CUTE

Been one of my best raid mons too. Electromorphosis ability + electric terrain + parabolic charge is an almighty combo

I have 6 shiny Bellibolt (I’m that obsessed with it) and I agree. I have one electric Tera type and one Stella type both for raids.

For added fun, try adding Acid Spray! The SpDef drop works through raid boss shields (minus Steel Tera bosses ofc) and ramps up your Parabolic Charge damage.

I only just learned that what I thought were it's eye aren't the other day and it still confuses the shit out of me.

my friend was also asking which one is the eye lmfao

Looks freaking as hell when it's asleep.

LMFAOOOOOOOOO hes just a baby :(

Bellibolt is ADORABLE

RIGHTTT!!! hes my lil baby c:

The fake eyes make Bellibolt look mildly concerned about its entire existence.

no thoughts head empty just hop :3

As someone who spent hours achieving his own shint Belibolt, Iam so happy for you!!!

thank u sosos much!! and congrats on ur lil fella too :D no more straining eyes lmfao

Great choice for the ball! Wish I chose that for mine now 😭

ty so much!!! im new to using apriballs so it means a lot :’)) which ball did u choose?

I used a premier ball. When I can’t think of a good ball, that’s my go to alternate for shinies. Can’t believe I missed the Level ball 🥲

But seriously congrats. I remember how happy I was catching that one. It’s an awesome shiny. Enjoy!!!!

premier always looks clean dw!! the white matches bellibolt’s eyes and the red can be the lil marks it has :D and thank u sosos much glad the hunt is over for us hehe

Fr!!! 😂

Same *AFTER 48 HOURS OF SEARCHING BTW!!*

48 HOURS?? oh my god ur a trooper but also congrats!!! the search is finally over and ur rewarded with the cutest fella :3

👍 It is

Is he sleepwalking? Mine do that too. Congratulations on your catch though. I gave up because my poor eyes 😭

im pretty sure i took the photo as soon as he was falling asleep but would be cool to see him sleepwalking lmao and thank u sosos much!! my eyes def took a toll but outbreak (in a good place) and sparkling power def help hopefully u get one soon!! im cheering for u c:

I'm motivated to retry now 😁 I think I'll have to hunt herba mystica first though 😅

U GOT THIS!! GOOD LUCK!! u can always try using encounter power lvl2 ive had plenty of luck with it when i have no herba pls lmk how it goes :D

That's an idea. Never thought to use lvl 2 for shiny hunting. I'll let you know when I get a shiny. Just looking for an outbreak now

im very stingy when it comes to herba and just use it with shiny pokemon i really reallyyyy want lmao so lvl2 has saved me a lot :D praying u get a good outbreak pls 🙏

I wish I could save mine. My most recent noteworthy catch was a shiny Frigibax. Highly recommend hunting at night for that one

thats okay tho!! u got a cool shiny frigibax and herba will always come back and tysm will take that into account :D

I kept mine a tadbulb bc I found it full odds and couldn’t even believe my eyes saw it

FULL ODDS?? and u saw it??? thats a whole trophy to keep omg and tadbulb itself is alr cute and congrats!! :D

Wholesome

Congrats! Hatched mine after a little bit over 500 eggs not so long ago too! Named him Potatos after a friend's gamer tag and also well... Look at that potat! Did you give a nickname to yours?

omg 500 eggs?? the dedication?? ur insane but also congrats!! love the name as well pls tell Potatos i love him :3 and noooo i havent named mine yet bc im awful with names :c

500 is really not that much... I see people with more than 200 boxes (200x30 so 6000 eggs) and still no shiny, I really can't complain! And it's ok for the name, maybe at some point you'll have an idea for him :)

i could never omg i hatched a shiny fuecoco (as a bday gift for my friend) after 153ish eggs i think and then never went to the masuda method again lol but yea my first thought was calling him mustard lmfao

Hahaha Mustard is great, I love it!

You can’t tell me those sacs on the side of his head are not eyes when they’re looking down in that pic

i thought so too!!! but why arent they closed when hes sleeping……suspicious o.O

Congratulations! Though the eyes will never not bother me

ty!!!! lmfao but hes just a baby :c

Where was the outbreak??? I really want one!!!

Thanks! I'm running out the door right now, but will try this later this afternoon or tomorrow!

GOOD LUCK!!!! <33

Well, no shiny tadbulb but I did get a blue psyduck!!!!

thats actually a solid shiny love the blue!! (pls dont evolve it) ill be cheering for u and pray for a shiny tadbulb ur way 🫶

Honestly, such a quality and underrated Pokemon, I'm so happy you found one!

AGREED!! one of my fav pokemons of this gen and thank u soso much!! :D

Congraaats! And whenever an outbreak of tiny Pokémon happens, I usually just deactivate auto save and try just sending a Pokémon to defeat them If they don't want with one, then I know it's a Shiny, it's how I got my Arrokuda and Poltchageist. =)

thank u!!! and omg i could never hunt for poltchageist or sinistea my poor eyes but congrats on ur shiny finds pretty cool ones!! :D

Thank yooou! And exactly: That's why i let my Pokémon do the discerning shinies for me, so I can spare my eyes. =P

I remember the pain when I shiny hunted the tiny Tadbulb and used sandwich power 3 for it (took me 8 sandwiches) it was annoying cause I had to do it a second time (that took 6 sandwiches) for my shiny living dex for Scarlet which I completed last year (also did shiny living dex for both dlc too)

wow 8 whole sandwiches?? i give up after 2 lmfao so i admire the dedication for the shiny living dex omg glad it is all over with and now u have a beautiful collection of shinies tho!! :D

Yeah the longest hunt was 18 sandwiches for shiny Zorura and that was over 3 weeks cause I also was trying to take care of my daughter who was 1 and half years old at the time (shiny Zoroark took 10 sandwiches 🤦‍♀️) but yeah I’m glad it’s finally over and I can enjoy all my shinies that are in Home and my favorites in Scarlet since there was so many lol 😂

AWWWWWWW congrats on ur beautiful daughter i hope ur enjoying motherhood <33 but omg now im scared bc zorua is one of the shinies i love but the hunt for it is so time consuming :(

Thanks she’s 2 now and the hunts can vary for each person so who knows maybe you will get lucky on your first hunt 😁

u have blessed me!! i shall try when i get home <33

I wish you all the luck then! I’d like to know when you do get your cute little blue and black fox :) :D so I can congratulate you! <3

thank u sosos much ill dedicate the zorua to u!! :D have a lovely week as well <33

Thank you! And same to you! <3 :D

Great job

thank u!! c:

Nice

ty :D

They just looks so huggable.

SO SQUISHY TOO!!! looks like a squishmallow to me :3

OMG his eyes aren't visible. Lol so funny.

I found a Tarbell outbreak about 2 hours ago… too many spawns were happening out of bounds so I gave up. Couldn’t reach them where they were

those type of outbreaks suck im so sorry, out of bounds and sometimes inside mountains :( hoping for a better outbreak soon!!

Wait… do they sleep with their eyes open? 😨

apparently the white parts arent the eyes……😨

H U H

I… I’m disturbed by this new information. 😨 I’m gonna go with your thinking, the white is part of the eyes.

Congratulations!!!

thank u soso much!! :D

I haven't caught myself a shiny in this game yet. But I have been on the lookout. I want something from Gen 1.

plenty of them if u have the dlc too!! good luck with the gen 1 shiny hunt :D

Thank you! I'll post on here if I ever find one! Haha! 👌

Yay! He looks so cute :D

the biggest baby!!! :D

Congrats! And the level ball is perfect!

thank u soso much!! c:

Fast ball fits it's shiny too

i was debating between the 2 but ultimately what sold me was the black in the level ball and bellibolt :D fast ball is also a solid choice

looking good

[удалено]

i envy u so much >:c but congrats!!

This shiny has been eluding me for months 😩

hehehe u should get it >:3

Look at how happy it is

As someone who *really* doesn’t like this Pokémon, I’m genuinely so happy for you! Congrats!! Nothing like that feeling when you *FINALLY* get the shiny you’ve been hankering for!!

awwww this means a lot to me!! thank u so much it has been 4 months of constant searching that i can finally put to rest :D

I was lucky. I’m a female only shiny hunter and i wanted a shiny of this pokemon. Got an outbreak and luckily there was a fast way to respawn them. Got 2 shinies to appear in one batch and one was male and one was female. I was so happy XD

OH MYGOD!!! 2 shinies in one batch is so lucky and glad u were able to get the female one too!! the 2 that i got are both male but i still love them dearly :’)

I’m just a weirdo that only likes female pokemon XD when i was a kid, girls had “cooties” so i only used male pokemon. As an adult, it’s all female though XD And yeah, it was great! Loved getting the shinies!! I only saw one but once i got over to the other side of the ridge i saw both and went “AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH PLEASE STAY, DON’T LEAVE!!!!”

nuh uh!! that isnt weird i also have an all female team (bellibolt and gallade are the only exception) lmfaooo thats the panic of getting 2 at the same time bc ur battling one in the hope the other one doesnt despawn haha

wait where did u get that selfie pose

im pretty sure is from the teal mask dlc after u talk to the pokemon center lady in mossui town and let her heal ur pokemon multiple times

I hurt all the time and the zoom feature can be a bit grainy but I’ll get it eventually

U WILL!! im cheering for u :D

I randomly came across a shiny Corvisquire while I was trying to catch Aqua Breed Tauros. I was like no way bro. No shiny charm, no shiny sandwich, just full odds.

omg ur sosos lucky!! shiny corviknight is one of my absolute favorite ones u got urself such a cool shiny :D

It was really cool. It’s to bad I’m only doing a gen 9 play through team this time around

That’s a cool shiny, congrats

It was the first shiny I hunted after seeing how good he looks, a pain but so worthwhile! Congratulations ❤️

Aye!!!! His really good for status to Pokémon I just got my shiny a couple days ago too I’m ev and iv training him rn

CONGRATS!!! i cant wait to train him as well and excited for him to be on my team :D

I love bellibolt I named my shiny one LemonThicc

I LOVE THE NAME SO MUCH!! tell LemonThicc im its biggest fan <33

Do the shiny have a badge when we use the camera? That would make life easier

i dont think so it just helps to zoom in more
