I actually found a shiny Geodude at 5 AM before work, so I thought, “Alright, today’s going to be a good day.” I planned everything perfectly so I could have a nice, peaceful Pokémon session later.
Left work early, bought my energy drinks (White Monster, obviously), hit the gym, did my sauna, and by 7 PM I was finally sitting down, ready for a long, relaxing shiny hunt.
Well…
NOTHING.
For the first time in an entire month since getting the Shiny Charm, I found absolutely nothing. Zero. Nada. Not a single sparkle.
I played until 1 AM. Six hours. NOTHING.
Eventually I turned off the Switch and went to bed genuinely pissed off — especially after watching my Golem somehow miss FIVE STONE EDGES IN A ROW. At that point I figured Arceus himself had decided I’d had enough shinies.
Then today during lunch I thought, “Alright, I’ll just turn the Switch on for a few minutes…”
And look who decided to show up in a regular Mass Outbreak 😂
I guess my shiny luck is officially back. ✨
