I gave this Shiny Alpha Gogoat away as part of a side quest, and it stays!

Steven's Beldum. It looks sooo good. Only took 874 encounters! #ShinyPokemon

First shiny of the year! Phased on my Emerald Spinda hunt at 18,531 encounters. #ShinyPokemon

After 254 eggs (shattering my previous gen 2 gene breeding record of 142), I have finally got shiny Delibird. Originally intended to hatch by Christmas, but just in time before the new year. #ShinyPokemon

2nd picture shows when I reached 225 and ran out of space to count.

Stantler in Crystal, egg 50. #ShinyPokemon

So I finally got a GB operator. I added in the event to access Birth Island since this has been a dream hunt of mine and applied Nora's Emerald RNG fix patch. Then, this happened in not even like 30 encounters. #ShinyPokemon

My new longest gen 2 gene breeding hunt. Shiny Sneasel in 142 eggs! #ShinyPokemon

I've finally got a shiny. The drought ends now. Hopefully, more shinies to come soon 👀

Shiny Misdreavus in Pokémon Crystal, egg 33. #ShinyPokemon

This year, I participated in Team Showdown's full odds shiny event. I was able to get 4 shiny Pokémon in the span of just 5 days in Pokémon Crystal. Here are the shiny Pokémon I got (Grimer was in just 2 encounters!)

My favorite Pokemon (including favorite shiny from each type and generation) as of 2023. It'll be interesting to see how this evolves over time. This has probably already changed since then.
