I bought some plushies to remind me of friends. I'm hoping to expand on this too (Why musy plushies be costly!)

Up to 130 roamer checks. Very slow process. I've been learning a lot about how hunting these work in Crystal and experimenting with different methods that work with multiple consoles and are straightforward. (1/2)

Monksif (Adam) @monksif.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Shiny Suicune after 1729 seen! Nice and quick hunt. I need the roamers for the Rainbow Wing (in Crystal), so I might give them a try. Pain incoming 😭 #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

Monksif (Adam) @monksif.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Gen 1 Mewtwo shines after 9009 seen! Excluding Mew, this fully completes the Kanto portion of my Virtual Console shiny living dex. I'm really enjoying SRs, so I might just move to Ho-oh and Lugia next 🙂 #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

I've slowly been working towards the Virtual Console shiny 3-segment Dudunsparce with 39 total shiny Dunsparce hatched thus far. Unfortunately, this has been a grueling hunt with an average of almost 100 eggs per shiny (over 1.5x odds) and almost 4000 eggs hatched. Hopefully will get it soon!

A two day chain is finally done. Bidoof line complete with gender differences! I've been slowly getting better at chaining over the past week. Bit harder now that I'm full-time at work 🥲 #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting
