i found another shiny starly today and, as a sign of warning to all other shiny birds, killed it. i then found five other shinies. i hope the curse has passed.

on june 4th, 2019, I embarked on a quest to find an entire team of full odds shiny pokemon in my original childhood copy of soulsilver, and use them to beat the elite four.

since then, i've spent the past six years hunting for these pokemon on and off - some talking hours, others taking years.

and finally, as may 17th, 2025, this quest is officially complete :')

Teeeeechnically I found a 5th shiny during safari week, albeit in Pokemon Go

Also his name is Lugnutt

[sharlit-and-seedot]

my most recent full odds shiny, Mew! found after 4,784 run aways on JPN Emerald!

we found this 10 1/2 hours into our 12 hour stream for Trans Day of Visibility, i couldnt ask for better timing to get this blue baby <3

theyre docile nature (if i got my translations right) and we caught them in a dive ball! im very grateful it didnt metronome into self destruct on me lmao

"Did you know that 'may the year have luck!' in Chinese sounds like 'may the year have fish?'"

"...why are fish lucky?"

"We're Shiny! I think that's pretty lucky!"
