Now that we have HOME connectivity for ZA and I can share the first 4 gens of my SLD complete with gender differences, regional variants and alternate forms (that can go into HOME). It's been a wild ride so far! 😄 #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting
Some of my 30th Anniversary packs showed up! The Alolan Meowth IR and the stairs Pikachu were two of the cards I wanted the most from this set so I'm really happy with what I got

The last of the Gen 3 ribbons have been obtained and I got Amaryllis moved into Sinnoh. I'm going to try getting the Wi-Fi Battle Tower ribbon first, mostly because I'm not sure I can even get that one. I can never get any of the DNS exploits to work but fingers crossed.

The LV 50 Battle Tower Ribbon has been obtained. For some reason I thought you had to beat Anabel's gold symbol team to get it in Emerald, but that battle's at 70 wins and you only need 56 for the ribbon. Kind of anti-climactic but that just leaves two more ribbons for Gen 3!

I just finished the silver symbol battle against Anabel and it went really well! Suicune was for sure the MVP and I barely used Metagross at all so far so swapping it out for Nidoking for the gold battle for the ribbon shouldn't be too bad

All Gen 3 contest ribbons have been obtained, and I even got all 5 portraits! I really like the title for the cute contest portrait. Nidoking IS the cutie Pokemon. We all agree on this.
...Anyways, I'm going to tackle the Battle Tower next, wish me luck! 😁

Nidoking stood in the back while my Kyogre literally did all the work but I got the Earth ribbon! I was able to get him to lv 50 and got some extra berries for his contest stats so I think starting here was the right idea. It was a short trip to Orre, but any reason to visit is a good one!

Changing his met location to the Kanto Safari Zone worked! We're so back!

Well, I already hit a road block. Colosseum does not recognize Nidoking. He's supposed to be in slot 1 on the GBA side. I'll be honest, I'm not really sure what to do here. I'll try to do some troubleshooting later

I don't know if I'm actually going to be able to complete it or not, but I'm going to try ribbon mastering my Nidoking. I managed to get him into one of my physical Sapphire cartridges, and once I figure out where all my Gamecube stuff is he's going to Orre for the Earth ribbon

Shiny Stantler in 55 eggs in VC Crystal! Once I evolve it into Wyrdeer I'll have a shiny of every Hisui Pokemon that can have the Gameboy stamp! #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

I sent some cards out to be signed for my birthday back in the spring and I got some of them back today! These were signed by Eric Stuart, who voiced James, Brock and just a ton of Pokemon, including Charizard, during the 4 Kids era of the anime.

Shiny Teddiursa in 56 eggs in VC Crystal! I don't think I ever really looked at Teddiursa's Crystal sprite before starting this hunt but I absolutely love it now. It's too cute! #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

Looking for some outside opinions here. After some playing around I got Amaryllis, the Nidoran I shiny hunted in VC Crystal last week, into my childhood Emerald save file. If I were to ribbon master him would he legitimately count since he was sent into a game he shouldn't be in?

I had to do some battles in GO's Great League for some research tasks and this about sums up my experience

It was so close to being my first ever shundo in GO. Also sorry for not getting a screenshot of it hatching, I was mashing though the hatch animation like usual 😅 #pokemon #shinypokemon #pokemongo

Sorry for the repost. I still have plenty of these Mews if anyone wants one.
Totally hypothetical question: let's say I have a VC Red save that's set up to make shiny Mews via the 8F glitch and they can go to Home/SwSh/SV. Hypothetically, if I maybe wanted to hand a few out before the Bank shutdown would anyone like one? Hypothetically, of course.

I just got a shiny Nidoran from VC Crystal! It took 167 egg hatches via the shiny Ditto method and despite going over double odds it's been really nice shiny hunting in Gen 2 again 😄 #pokemon #shinypokemon #shinyhunting

Someone on my friends list invited me to a Mega Starmie raid and it ended up being shiny!
Also, it looks like Mega Starmie is whispering intrusive thoughts to the regular one on the summary screen 😂 #pokemon #shinypokemon #pokemongo
