INSANE SHINIES STORIES:
Cleffa (FAIL) on 2022/9/23: My first ever shiny fail, just because I forgot to save my game and the Cleffa broke out. I did achieve redemption on 2025/1/26 tho, getting my first ever shiny Cleffa
Voltorb-Hisui x2 on 2025/1/26: I flew over the outbreak, there was a shiny. I caught the shiny, another shiny spawned. The instant the second shiny spawned, the massive mass outbreak ended. THAT WAS SO HYPE (this was also the same massive mass outbreak that I got the shiny Cleffa)
Murkrow (Random) on 2025/2/4: I saved a few seconds before the Murkrow spawned (coincidentally), but because it turned day a few seconds later, no matter how hard I tried, the Murkrow always flew away before I could get in a battle with it. Therefore, my 5-head brain fast traveled back to base camp and slept to nightfall as soon as possible, thus preventing the Murkrow from flying away.
Magmar (Space-Time Distortion) (FAIL) on 2025/2/5: Got a Magmar in a distortion, so I saved, tried catching it, it broke out, and it despawned. I restarted the game, but for some reason the distortion isn't there anymore, meaning my Magmar is also gone. Moral of the story: Saving & Restarting the game gets rid of distortions, so GET ALL THE SHINIES IN THERE ASAP
Rhyhorn, Psyduck, Gligar on 2025/2/23: These were duplicate shinies that I just decided to put for "farm work" cause why the hell not. Might spend some time evolving them and putting them there so it looks really funny that a Shiny Gliscor is doing farm work or smthing.
Gastly on 2025/2/26: I wasn't even outbreak hunting, I was in Mirelands prepping to afk for distortions to hunt Porygon. I spawned in and within like one second I heard the shiny noise. I instantly had that feeling of...what do you humans call it again? Ah yes, I felt cool.
Barboach on 2025/2/26: Again, I was just distortion hunting, and I sent out my shiny Cyndaquil (that I'm training up) to headbutt a tree, but I heard a shiny noise that is just too loud for my shiny Cyndaquil to make (caught shinies make a different sound than wild shinies). I was already in a distortion that was about to generate, but I knew I needed to verify my suspicion that it was a wild shiny, so I saved and reopened the game (yes that unfortunately got rid of the distortion). I spawned back in and heard the shiny sound, but I looked around and saw no particles. I heard it again (louder, which means I'm closer), and that's when I peeked down this random creek and see a shiny Barboach. Keep in mind that, without a regular outbreak, shiny Barboach has 1/585 odds to spawn (they don't spawn in massive mass outbreaks) so getting that (and Whiscash) for the shiny dex already is hype.
