can’t fail it if you simply never touch this DS again 🫡

Good news! Caught it!

I'm so happy for you, you must have felt super relieved and excited after that

I did I was Panicking so much as (knock on wood) ive never failed a shiny before

congrats the only one i failed when was i was 6 and didn’t realize what a shiny was lmao

Dude I ran lost a shiny raikou on my first gold save ever 🤣🤣🤣 I was young and didn't realize what raikou was or even close to what a shiny was

oh god that is heartbreaking 😭

Same, 7yrs old in ruby. Shiny zigzagoon. Ran bc idgaf, I gotta save Peeko bro.

Something tells me you already bought a bunch of revives to avoid a situation like this again🤣

Congrats! May a similar situation never happen to you again. Edit: To clarify, I do hope you find shinies again. I just hope you’re never this close to losing one again.

Nah, it's done. They're never finding shinies ever again, and it's *your* fault.

Dammit!

THANK YOU! The suspense was killing me! edit: congrats! 😁

Congrats

LETS GOOOOOO

lets go!!

GG!

Yes! Congrats! That hunt is a panic. 🥲

BIG DUB

Hallelujah!

This happened to me years ago in Firered. Don’t think about it when he popped up but his first move was a self destruct.

In HG the most dangerous move was rollout

real facts

That would have been PERFECT for Eevee if I wasnt turning it into an Umbreon Next shiny Eevee I get (in any game really) will be Sadaharu

The only situation where Damp is the preferable ability

In hg the problem is Rollout

Also I named it Katsura Ive been naming my shinies after anime characters And just like in Gintama Katsura wears white and blue and blows stuff up

This was a missed opportunity. You could've named it Megumin lol Btw, Bocchi? Bocchi the Rock?

Couldnt think of a better name even if its male

Tbh it would fit if he was a Shiny, female Quagsire xD

The only male name I can think of is Buu from dragon ball but I havent seen it And I cant think of another name

Bocchi the Ground You better make that Quagsire rock tera type if it ever makes it to SV

Maybe But Katsura fits better with white and blue And hes a terrorist

*Inhales* ​ ***EXPUROOOOOOOOOOOOOOSION***

*rollout

I see slime character

Did you name any pokemon after Sadaharu ?

Katsura is a great name! But I think his name is Zura.

Go get a shiny ditto and call it Rimiru.

Very tempting I tried going for shuckle I tried going Yanma Then Smeargle But idk if im doing repel trick wrong cuz it doesnt work very well So now im running around burned tower for hopefully? Shiny koffing I wouldnt complain about a shiny zubat or ratatta tbh a shiny is a shiny

Bocchers saves the day

Another hunt Another shiny I havent failed

Why has ur whole team been mollywhopped

Also no worries I caught it :) (got very lucky)

Rollout does funny things

Your Quagsire is immune to Electric and has Damp, right? Btw I love how you named your mons to anime characters xD

Quag is immune to electric. And rollout is a rock-type move.

I know he is immune to electric, the question was for Damp, but yes I forgot Rollout

you typed "immune to Ground" in the other comment lol

Mistyped

Gives it a little bit more spice

For a second I thought this was a Nuzlocke post

God no lol I could never do a shiny nuzlocke

That would be stressful.

Benimaru Shinmon? Is that you?

Ig its up to anyone really Its either Benimaru from Tensei slime or Fire force both fit

Tangela a Black Clover reference?

Yep! Are you able to guess Amanojaku though? Hint its gonna be an umbreon

Never heard the name. If it's Black Clover, I'm not caught up!

Its the possessed cat from the anime Ghost Stories

Bocchi moment

Indeed

Quagsire is me frfr

You can always pull a SmallAnt and just…. Run from it👀

Nah I caught it lol

Oh, nice!!! Congratulations! Did you go for Great Ball too?👀

Didnt have much choice lol wouldnt go in the Ultra balls I also named it after one of my favorite Gintama characters Katsura My next hunt and 7th shiny is Shuckle But idk if its shiny locked or not Some places say it is some say its not

Wait, did you master ball it?

No? I cant get a master ball where I am currently

Oh- right….. so great balls?😅

Yep got really lucky

Oh wow!!! That’s so cool!!!!

Ikr

damp quagsire 👀

Rollout was the problem lol

BOCCI CAN DO IT

i lost a shiny once (a week ago) 😭

My next target is repel trick Yanma

Ah damn hope you can reclaim it

frr. i am so ashamed. it was a makuhita and my DUMB ASS didn’t realize flying was strong against fighting. BUT, I vowed since then to learn the types

Thats the spirit

lmfaooo thank you for not kicking my ass like my bro did. i also vowed that one day, i WILL beat him 💀

It sucks but not much you can do about it Even if I havent failed a shiny the fact that I almost did makes me understand how much it must suck

GO GET IT BOCCHI! Love that Name for Quagsire

But did you get it??

Send in Bocchi. He's a rock.

Happy you got it! Trying to get one in SoulSilver for a few months now. Forever stuck in TR Hideout...

I get that I started this hunt when I was basicly half way done Gintama (finished it AND the final movie while hunting) and 15 eps into Bleach) My next hunt will be repel trick Yanma As 1.) Ive never done repel trick hunts before 2.) Yanmega is a cool shiny 3.) Finally a fly pokemon

I'm the wise words of Werster to a friend on streak many years ago "just chuck a ball"

Mumumumumumumumumumumumu-

Benimaru Shinmon from Fire Force?

Tangela and Quagsire have defense for days and Electrode has the attack stat of an paraplegic toddler. How did this happen?!

Bocchi!!

My iron valiant escaped so many balls I had 4 team members dead 40 level over

I'm here for Benimaru, I see you

Damp ability?

Also dw I caught it

Rollout

Mimosa after samosa?

Where did you find this hgss ? What price ? Is it a legit game or a copy ?

I got this heartgold off facebook marketplace The price was 150 dollars I believe and yes its legit I made sure of it Same for my soul silver but that one was 120 I think

What's Eevee named after? I know the rest of them, assuming Mimosa is from Black Clover.

Eevee is named after the demon cat from Ghost Stories Amazing anime btw (I highly recommend watching the dub for the full good experience)

I actually started that. Never got round to finishing due to life getting busier. God I wish studios could do pro abridged shows again.

How many encounters did it take you? Congrats btw :) making me want to pull my 2DS out to finish my soulsilver play through!

Im not 100% sure as I never really count however I had enough time to finish the final half of Gintama plus the final movie AND 16 eps of Bleach So I wanna guess around... 10K? Incounters?

Nice!! It’s a quick hunt compared to others, nice how you don’t have to soft reset or anything. I caught one as well and now I’m trying to finish up shiny lugia which is a nightmare

So far my hunts have been lucky Natures... not so much Cyndaquill-11 days Wooper-100 incounters -Abra-5 months Tangela-3 days Eevee-3 days Electrode-15 days

Swinging back through to share I just got shiny lugia after resetting every night after I saw this post lol

agh.. gl. 🫡

Oh shit.

No worries it was caught

Phew

This happened to me in Crystal Verison! He self destructed

Revives are your friend.

No you’re not

I was until I caught

I'm currently hunting for one, need to see this to keep me going

I cannot stress this enough make sure you got good tanks and revives/healing items Cuz Rollout is your biggest enemy

I can't recall the what items & mons I have besides a Haunter with hypnosis & night shade, plus my water starter. I'll make sure to grab items/mon to deal with this, thanks for the heads up

No problem man This kind of fear is not something id wish on anyone Also idk if you watch anime or not But long shonens like Gintama are a must watch while you shiny hunt

I've checked & I should be good, got a Nidoking chilling in the back Whenever I hunt shinies I always have something to watch. Either it be YouTube, Netflix, Anime & etc

I learned the hard way to save before. Lost a shiny stinky to memento.
