For today's phasing show and tell I have a My Friend Malamar edition of the Malamar sitting cutie plush. I actually prefer the Soda Pop plushes to the sitting cuties but after the iconicly unhinged teaser revealing Mega Malamar I just had to get one

Did you guys know that rats spelled backwards is star? Anyways, phases 268-273 of my shiny 3 family Maushold hunt were all duds, but 271 had the Kindhearted Mark, which is a new one for this hunt! I don't think I've seen that icon before this morning, but it's really cute! #pokemon #shinypokemon

My first catch of the day was a shiny super size Pumpkaboo! That's one of the sizes I still needed for my SLD so this was a great find #pokemon #shinypokemon #pokemongo

I found a shiny Mewtwo! It was another very fast hunt, only taking 44 total SRs and I caught it in a Luxury Ball! I'm taking this guy to Kalos with me when ZA comes out! #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

IIRC the Go research for shiny mew was in 2021 and of the 6 shiny Mew cards in the TCG, 3 of them have been printed between then and now. Gen 10 better have a way to shiny hunt Mew is all I'm saying 😂

For today's phasing show and tell I have a Shining Mew card. It was a promo bundled in Corocoro Comics back in 2001 and it's the newest addition to my collection! Also how wack is it that shiny Mew has been available in the TCG way more than in the video games? I didn't think about it until just now

I managed to squeak out some new shiny rats! Phases 262-267 for a 3 family Maushold were all duds, but 262 and 263 had the Rare and Arrogant marks respectively! I'm kind of happy with these finds, but how insane would it have been if the Rare Mark one was a 3 family? #pokemon #shinypokemon

1000% agree with this. If you're going to buy English packs/any sealed Pokemon product don't pay a cent above MSRP

I can’t justify buying $6 single Pokémon packs

I found a shiny Tornadus after a whopping 25 SRs! The Synchronize trick didn't work again, which is a bummer, but I caught in the single Friend Ball you get per save file in the gen 7 games! I'm still shocked that worked 😂 #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

If my math is right a Pokemon has a 1/166 chance of getting the Rare Mark if you're running both Title Power LV 3 and have the Mark Charm like I do so even if it's a 4 family it's still rarer than an unmarked 3 family which is kind of wild

So I ran another shiny sandwich before bed last night and found a shiny Tandemaus with the Rare Mark. I haven't checked to see if it's going to be a 3 or 4 family Maushold yet, I'm kind of scared to look lol #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

For today's phasing show and tell I have a booster box from 2016's Evolutions set. I got two of these back in 2017 and pulled the Mega Charizard FA from the first box. Since that was my big chase card from this set this one became one of the first additions to my sealed collection
A booster box from the Pokemon TCG's Evolutions expansion from 2016. For anyone unfamiliar this set was meant to celebrate the series' 20th anniversary and most of the cards in this set were reprints from the original base set with updated stats. IMO the Celebrations set they released for the 25th anniversary in 2021 was better but I think most collectors disagree with me

Ask and ye shall receive shiny rats. Phases 256-261 of my shiny 3 family Maushold hunt were all duds. No new marks either but I found them all between this morning and now so I can't complain too much #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

I'm trying something new for my 3 family shiny Maushold hunt. This is my first time trying to commune with the spirit realm but I hope I did it right lol
Ngl i put the $20 there because I thought it might sweeten the deal for the spirits

I thought of this while trying to catch it because it took like 20 Luxury balls and thought it was funny enough to share lol

I found a shiny Stakataka! It took 1690 total SRs and even though the Synchronize trick didn't work Calm is still an okay nature for it. I managed to catch it in a Luxury Ball too! This was a really nice way to start the morning 😁 #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

I kind of had to roll my eyes when I saw that there was still a hard limit. From what I can tell that's the same way they handle code distributions in the EU but there's no limit there. I'm glad you were able to at least get one though!

My favorite part is when a hunt goes past odds and I start getting paranoid that I accidently reset over the shiny at some point 🥲
