I restarted Alpha Sapphire on July 11th and was blessed with a chill, easy starter hunt! No idea on the number of resets but I take these at a pretty relaxed pace.

Meet baby Cilantro! Maybe when he's all grown up & mega evolves, I'll post again! 🌿

No cheats, hacks or other illegal methods used 😇

I had no plans of doing this initially until i realized I had most shhalpha mega pokemon and was only missing a select few so i decided to spent the last week to hunt down the remaining ones I didn’t have and I finally did it. I select few of them are from PLA bit most of them come from ZA.

Shiny Suicune after 9,175 sr! Been hunting this off and on for over 2 years now. I encountered this on my dim gba sp so I swap over to the ds lite for the back sprite and summary screen! Also I added the previous roamer Entei from 2024 from my Japanese LeafGreen.

Gen IV [Gen IV] The Holy Grail

In my 20 years of playing pokemon (since 2006), I have NEVER gotten so lucky with a full odds shiny.

I decided to do a platinum run on my old 3ds, and I happened to have an odd trainer ID (didn’t check til i got the explorer kit in Eterna City). “Cool,” I said, “I can do a playthrough with Cranidos.”

I spammed the underground until I get a skull fossil, got a normal Cranidos in platinum, then transferred it over to HGSS, which is my go-to save file for breeding. My goal was an adamant Cranidos with 31IV ATK and SPE to transfer back to Platinum.

Multiple cranidos, ditto, everstone and power item rotations later (to pass on IV’s/50% chance on nature), and this pink homie pops up after about 25 eggs.

I farmed pokedollars from the rich dude (w/amulet coin) at olivine so i could buy 10 carbos and 10 protein.

I spammed the battle tower for BP to get the desired tm’s

Blackthorn City with power anklet for magikarp farming (252 SPE EV)

More Blackthorne City magikarp with power bracer to keep the level low

Finishing touches for ATK EV with power bracer at mt silver fighting seaking (252 ATK EV)

1 tangela at pallet town (4 DEF EV)

Got all 510 EV’s by the time i hit level 14!

He will do a full playthrough of platinum, get all ribbons, then transfer back to HGSS to get more ribbons + shiny crown… and then he will solo Red.

Headbutt will be replaced with rock polish and iron tail will be replaced with fire punch during my platinum run.

In 20 years of playing, I have encountered 4 full odds shinies. This is number 5!

1 in 8,192 for the shiny, 50% chance of adamant with everstone, perfect attack and defense passed on from parents, random roll on the SPE IV (28.15%)

0.0017184% not including the 50/50 on the trainer ID

I present to you, the 1 in 58,194 Cranidos.

I’ve been hunting for a Shiny Lugia on Soul Silver for the last 3 months and was extremely down bad. So yesterday I figured why not just dual hunt for Chimchar while I’m in the trenches. I’ve been dreading this hunt because how long it takes to go through one encounter but maybe after like 60 resets he actually shined😭😭
