hi i had corsola swarm today (well technically yesterday now in my timezone but u get the point) and i shiny hunted them with the pokeradar since i had a decent stockpile of dive balls from the news press guy and the colors match perfectly + when else am i gonna get shiny corsola in platinum, it's swarm exclusive
i kind of want to trade one away but idk what i’d want for it or how i wanna go about that so i’d have to think about it
Man I can only assume I am late to realize that I can use the numerous Battle Points Pokemon Bank and Pokemon Home generate to break a game’s economy but this was news to me and this is huge because now I can
1. Enjoy BDSP without slogging through the Elite 4 Numerous times to have enough funds which means two things
a. I can prep to shiny hunt Arceus. This will let me stock up comfortably on balls and healing items so I can even aim for a ball of choice like a Luxary ball
b. I can radar hunt and be able to afford repels and balls with minimal effort
2. I can obtain Gorgeous Royal Ribbons which will let me become more ambitious with what Pokemon I try to make Ribbon Masters into this new era of Pokemon compatibility. I theorize that eventually there’ll be no “true” ribbon masters possible since Pikachu wasn’t available as a shadow Pokemon so I figure I can start the challenge with more Pokemon that have sentimental value to me. First up, Chrona my VC shiny Celebi and then my shiny Greninja.
me spending the vast majority of my life constructing my personality from media pieces and other people's personalities, behaviors, and senses of humor to be likeable, and being now forced to fuck around and find out the kind of person i actually am underneath all the excessive copypasting
i meant to start prepping my regulation D doubles team for next month but beforehand i took a moment to boot into bdsp for a daily ribbon and in the process noticed there was a zigzagoon swarm. you know. my fav pokemon. AND SO I AM NOW SHINY HUNTING INSTEAD (the chain continued after this and now i’m refreshing the pokeradar for a second shiny at chain 30 :D )
gamefreak really gave us the pokeradar in d/p/pt and then gave it a 2% chance to break your chain even if you optimize everything. legendary. i think it's time to look into gen4 rng manipulation
