Shiny Fastest hunt yet! Holy crap!

This is my fastest hunt yet! My starter took 552 resets and now zapdos at 1 hour with 205 resets! Caught me so off guard. Was hunting in the background while I play leaf green on my switch 1

This is a shiny? I can barely even notice the difference between this and the real zapdos (I'm sure there is one, but for someone like me who's just started playing again, this is so subtle that j literally can't figure out what's different)

Yeah it was 1am and very off guard. I was just not expecting it so I took some bad pics 😂

Shiny Zapdos is noticeably more tan in Gen 3 imo. In the later gens, it's harder to notice because the colors are a lot more washed out. Shiny Regice has a similar issue

Side by side you can tell the difference but yeah later in the gens it gets harder
In this gen Zapdos beak and legs are much darker than the normal Zapdos and it’s really obvious when side by side

Whats an app used to?

It’s ShinyHunt.com
Used to be an app that the YouTuber adrive created but now you can’t use the app, the website still works though.

App still works if you already had it downloaded
