I was doing bench resets in Wild Zone 10, aiming for the static Alpha Sharpedo, but got something better, a random shalpha Carvanha!

It was terrifying when it suddenly jumped at me lol

I was doing casual bench resets around Wild Zone 18 while doing other things and got this lovely beast! (and also a shiny Bagon)

I spent around an hour doing the trick in the tower in Wild Zone 3, where you constantly re-load the spawns by running up and down the stairs.

This method is absolutely broken lol

I got all of these shinies from the wild zone, plus the street, building and market behind it.

All the clothing is so good in this game, so I like to change it up when I feel the situation calls for it.

I *could* advance the plot of the game.

Or I can spend the morning clothes shopping for a cute new fit.

I'm not a person who likes online battling much, but I will say, I am REALLY enjoying the ranked battles on Z-A.

I was only doing them to get the Greninja Mega Stone, but I may play on this beyond that.

I've been mostly avoiding social media so I don't see any spoilers, but if you're interested in my Legends Z-A playthrough so far (and my dumb commentary), I've been blogging my progress on my Tumblr:

I watched the first episode of Digimon Beatbreak and really enjoyed it! It's a strong first episode that delves straight into the plot, as well as a mystery behind the lead character.

Looking forward to seeing where the show goes!
