The Wingull I'd have missed if not for the Don't Attack Shinies Clause, but the Flittle and Snover I managed to suss myself!
(also that's a Modest Flittle with the better Ability, the eventual Espathra's gonna be so happy about that...although I will need to burn an Ability Capsule on the Wingull to get a Drizzle Pelipper later)
Today when I asked my IRL friends what they thought the odds of me catching a shiny Pokémon today were, one of them told me he hoped I didn’t catch any.
espathra's shiny almost makes me like it. it's SO much better to me
I like its normal coloration fine, but I do really like its shiny. The dark brown adds a lot of contrast compared to the original colors, and the more muted colors help make the eyes stand out more.
Have you ever asked the universe for something only to have it deliver minutes later? This happened to me as I was talking with my dear friend, a fellow Pokémon trainer. I mentioned that I was looking to start hunting for a shiny Flittle. Not moments later…
I almost cruised right by him! Even he was confused. Luckily I quickly turned around and he jumped right into my premier ball.
There isn’t much to the story beyond that - except that strange things happen! Louis (named after a certain vampire) wasn’t even my only shiny of the day!
More coming soon! Until then, stay shiny and keep up the hunt! ✨
