Aspiring game developer and avid shiny hunter. If there’s anything I can regularly ramble delightfully about, it’s the adorable pocket monsters that quickly stole my heart as a child.

✨ On Focus Hunts ✨
Mimikyu 3060
Turtonator 3950
I feel this so much. I keep wanting to do a big push for the end of the year, but I can never quite do more than my typical.

Oh my goodness that’s right! I’ll try to send good vibes your way. Popplio has a way of making ya feel great when it does appear, and I’m sure it is just a matter of when!

The main one for me is Mimikyu (5%) in Moon and Turtonator (10%) in Ultra Sun— doing Random Encounters and hoping against the odds that one of them shines before the end of the year!

12727 encounters— phase seven is OVER FOR BOTH HURRAY! Meet Papaya, my second Golbat on this quest, named after a friend of mine’s Crobat from a time’s past (they’re a proper fan of poison types). He’s brave, sturdy, and focused, which…honestly all fits together really well!

Phase 8 appears far quicker than phase 7, 1017 encounters brings yet another new phase…only Elekid and the lovely target Turtonator remain. But oh, I love the shiny for this fire turtle too. Sassy and scatters things often, slow and steady wins the race…Sorbet. So many ssss.

Apparently this little one wants to do the Electrike Slide with another little Pikaclone. 10320 encounters after Dee Dee is the knight of my roundtable Lancelot, who’s relaxed and likes to take plenty of siestas (easily explaining the encounter number. He moves on his own time!)

An encounter to show off how cool he is.

I managed to remember to take the clip of finding it in my shock and surprise. I was so afraid that it wouldn’t show up in this screen for some reason— I’d been checking the batches in the boxes afterward just in case. I had 20 Cranidos per reset and this was number 15!

Out of the three, Popplio was the kindest to me (Litten and Rowlet took over 8000 and 7000 resets respectively). I hope to see you posting about how you found this beautiful lil thing soon. May it appear in the next thousand. ✨

witnessing this ordeal inspired me to draw this today

I am SO excited for this watch.

There are differing numbers between these two but it does seem the general consensus is the ride Pokémon do decrease it by some amount. I think I first ran into it accidentally

Don’t all the ride Pokémon decrease encounter rates or is this referring to something else I’m unaware of lol

Best of luck for this lil bug ✨

So glad to have *the* Dedenne stamp of approval!
September 2, 2025 at 1:18 AM
I had been debating if I should finish out my night with another try at Cranidos in BDSP for fossil week, or doing more encounters for these DTQs. At 1195 for phase 6, a docile and alert to sounds Dedenne appears, shining beautifully. I’m so very happy to have gotten Dee Dee 🤎

I still choose to hope you get it on/before 30 🍀 I believe I believe I believe
August 30, 2025 at 8:25 AM
I would most definitely be down! I’ve been thinking of the mere idea of a shiny race and had no idea who I’d ask lol
August 30, 2025 at 3:09 AM
This is completely and utterly crazy. To completely oppose the one that went 4x odds for the DTQ, we have this pretty lil Adamant gal to round out phase 5 at a mere 647 encounters. I love Mudbray 🧡

INCREDIBLE!!! That’s sooooo pretty, too. Lapras 💜
