It's really infuriating that Pokemon Go is now locking fighting Giovanni behind finishing event-specific Go Passes. I play literally every day and I can never finish these things. I beat all 3 Rocket Admins during the event, which used to be enough to do Giovanni. But not anymore.
The Harvest Festival: Taken Over Go Pass, which I finished at rank 23. The Super Rocket Radar (which is what lets you fight Giovanni) is at rank 30.

I've been keeping track of how many resets I do for Jirachi each day. I have a personal goal of doing at least 40 per day, which is what I had calculated I'd need to do to get to odds by Bank shutdown day. Proud to say I kept the pace for the entire month of September!
My personal log of how many Jirachi resets I did every day in September. I went from 290 total resets at the beginning of the month and ended with 3346.

Shiny Poipole after just 594 SRs, for #wormholewednesday!! The first one I need for my living dex - I'll be hunting another one that will be evolved into Naganadel. Nicknamed UB STICKY because that's the Japanese code name for it and I love it.

Years ago I got a used copy of Omega Ruby from my wife's cousin. He had hacked to give himself Hoopa and Eternal Flower Floette, and they can't be transferred to Home because they fail legality checks. So they've been sitting in a "Hacker jail" Bank box, and I intend to let them burn down with Bank.

I'm not generally a fan of Alola's shiny sparkles because I don't like how the giant star obscures the Pokemon's face, but if you can manage to get a screenshot right as the star is fading out, it can make for some pretty photos.

I transferred the LeafGreen one up since I figured that would be the more problematic of the two, and I managed to get it into Home without it being flagged. But strangely, it states it's from the Hoenn region despite having never touched a Hoenn game:

Some people were curious how this worked, so I tested it by trading a Black Flute to my LeafGreen - and I can confirm that a hard reset (playing the flute, saving, and then shutting the system off completely) does work!

So it was recently discovered that you CAN redeem Channel Jirachi in Emerald - if you've specifically beaten Roxanne at least 4 times. For whatever reason, Emerald's internal flag for having done that is the same flag that R/S uses for entering the Hall of Fame. Sounds weird, but yeah, it works!

Shiny Partner Cap Pikachu after a staggering 15,510 SRs. Utterly stunned. I started this hunt last December, but with Bank's shutdown looming, I knew I needed to finish it. This is the one shiny I feel 100% confident is never coming back, because it was never supposed to exist in the first place.

Doing the math for Wishmaker Jirachi, you'd need to do about 40 encounters a day to even hit odds by the Bank shutdown date. With optimal play with the save corruption method, each reset takes about a minute and a half. So that's an hour every single day. I... don't think that's doable for me tbh. 😭
7282 (Jirachi's odds) divided by 196 (days until Bank shutdown), equaling 37.15

Basically they made a Pokemon website that tries to condense all useful information for a player into as small of a package as possible, but their original thumbnail/title was seen as shitting on the hard work that Joe Merrick puts in for Serebii. Looks like they've changed it since:
Im a blisy's video titled, "Every Pokemon website sucks, so I made a good one". The thumbnail shows Serebii.net labeled with "BAD WEB DESIGN"The updated video title of "The problem with Pokemon websites", with a new thumbnail showing Bulbapedia captioned "TOO MUCH TEXT"
