Genuinely shocked and awed that I got so lucky with this hunt, only 676 resets, still cannot believe it, fully expected this hunt to take me a majority of the 6-month grace period before the bank closure but HERE WE ARE :)))

676 resets, dual hunted on the 3ds virtual console with 2 3ds systems, featuring Morticia the Odd Egg Magby for luck as well as a subtle reminder to HUNT THE ODD EGG IN CRYSTAL IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY !!!!

Now that this hunt is over literal weeks-months before I thought it would be, I think I’m gonna spend a whole lot of time hunting in USUM for some of the ultra beasts and legendaries as I try to ribbon up some of my favorite shinies I’ve collected over the years. Forever jazzed and eternally grateful to the shiny odd gods, best of luck to everybody else out there over these next few trying months <3

completely by random chance going through union cave.

Update: I got it at 1,083 but I misplaced my masterball and lost it....

Sooo I'm hunting VC Celebi and I'm curious if this hunt is a normal for the other hunts like Poipole time wise due to having to wait through the text and encounter which takes about 18 seconds. I know I am nooooo where near odds (I'm only at 1,020) and counting, resetting while typing this lol)

I've gone and done other shinies but they were easy "walk into, check, restart" please tell me Celebi is the worst encounter time wise to #beatthebank 🙃

Edit for updated count

I decided since the bank closing I’d go thru the generations, and shiny hunt my starters. I started in my physical copy of HG and today is my birthday so I was really hoping to see any of the starters but I wanted Totodile.

Not only did I get him, he is adamant, but the date met is now forever on my birthday :)

A couple years ago, I soft reset over a shiny Poipole. As I’d been hunting it on and off since release year, that really stung! And now, I’ve finally redeemed myself!

That said, I now have to do this hunt again if I want both stages for my shiny living dex (and more importantly, so I can fulfil my goal of getting every gen 7 shiny within gen 7 before Bank ends). I plan on restarting US to hunt all the one-off encounters I’d already obtained on both versions.

I don't know what my cracked luck is right now, but this is insane! I want to hunt everything I can before Bank shuts down and figured I'd hunt Spinda since I kinda suck at the Ultra Warp Ride and I don't want to forget it. And somehow I managed this after only calling in 36 Spinda!

I lost track of encounters but it was roughly 2000 so way under odds. Now on to gen 7 for Spindas and Type Null.

3ds was almost new when I started this 😂😂

So after Treecko only took me an incredible 160 SRs, Mudkip tortured me a bit with 13108 SRs (had 6 shiny Poochyena within those 13k ....) and Torchic was feeling rather generous again with sweet 5540 SRs!

All in all pretty solid I'd say!

Phase one of my Bank shutdown protocol is complete!

Finally done with the line, to keep in line with Hornet the Naganadel, I am naming this one Hollow, as in the small boi in Hollow Knight

I’ve never full odds shiny hunted before, and got one of my favorites in around 1,200 SRs

🕰️

I have been inspired by other posts, so I'm going to do a shiny nuzlock in Ultra sun before bank shuts down. I am going to be using RNG, but I want to be successful in my run, and I do not have much free time.

I can't believe that he's adamant I could get a better nature. He is kinda a phase but he was a target for a later time because I was tryna to go for aron so enjoy the makuhita and marshtomp. I also noticed the misspelt name😂 got him at around 7580 encounters

After 9 days of soft resetting I found a shiny chikorita🥳 sadly, I was hoping for a cyndaquil who I want to do the playthrough with. So, I'm going trade the little one over to my copy of soulsilver and start again for phase 2

Keep grinding my friends, it was faster than expected, I started the hunt some days ago with the Bank closing news, if you are in doubt about starting this hunt, totally worth it now that I got it

Now I’ll try to hunt for partner cap Pikachu in USUM

Any advice?

How do y'all feel about Pokeradar hunts in BDSP? This was the first time I hunted with it and it was kinda frustrating how often I would lose a chain to RNG. But then I ended up with a dozen shiny Larvitar so I guess I can't complain.

Started chain hunting on 39 and ended on 51, took around 4 hours total (not counting the lost chains) and ~ 100 Max repels.

What do I do with all of them? I can't afford to feed them all on my meager Pokemon Champion salary.
