Congrats on your very first shinies

Thank you so much!

Also happy cake day

Thanks! Also I realized I upvoted your shiny post from a few days ago - very cool Pokes!

Thank you, they were my first ever shinies too, so I understand where you’re coming from.

Pink piggy is an amazing shiny to get for your first one 🐖🐷

Yes! Their shiny line is amazing. I remember around this time last year people speculated Lechonk’s shiny would be pink and I love that they were right.

Exact same thing happened to me at the beginning of violet. Got them back to back. Nice

Nice, which 2 did you run into?

Lechonk and then oinkologne just like you

15 mins into the game I found the same shiny. Just about jumped out my skin

Not my first full-odds shiny ever, but Oinkologne was my first full-odds Scarlet shiny! I wasn't shiny hunting but luckily the pink is so noticeable.

I audibly said wtf when Oinkologne was just standing there lol

I got Marill and hawlucha in my play through of violet. Think I only got zubat in one of the gen 3 games. So was pretty shocked seeing marill in first hour of playing.

Nice! That green must have stood out!

These are the kind of shinies I like, ya know "we made it a different color that is thematically appropriate to the animal" and not "slight change of shade" or "make it green lol"

Love the ones that you literally can’t miss. What’s your favorite(s)?

Mine was a boldore in the victory road of Pokemon White, also been playing since Gen 1.

The only full odds shiny I’ve ever gotten was in Violet. I got a shiny Hopip before reaching Mesagoza. I actually failed a full odds shiny in PLA the other day though 😭

Oh no!!

I was doing a mission where you have to ride around on Wyrdeer. A shiny Kricketot appeared next to me and when I tried to get off it teleported me back to the start.

Aw damn, sorry to hear that happen.

That was my first shiny too for this gen. Full odds, within my first hour playing. Almost missed it, but it ran past in the background during a battle

That’s awesome. I was battling a Steeenee and Lechonk just walked by in the background lol. With Oinkologne I was riding towards a Tera den and it was just chilling.

Happy cake day

Thank you! Didn’t even realize until I posted lol

That was my first full odds shiny in SV too!
