Friends with Frosmoth

I was zooming around in the mountains of Paldea and noticed an outbreak of Frosmoth had popped up. While I'm normally somewhat fearful of bug types, I do love Frosmoth. I find them to be very elegant. The sounds they make are beautiful and reminiscent of winter back in my home region. I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to add another shiny Pokémon to my home.

As you can see from the photo above, shiny Frosmoth has a beautiful green tint to it instead of its normal purple tint. For me, they are most identifiable by their big green eyes (again, normally purple). Shiny Frosmoth can be a little hard to spot amongst other Frosmoth because they're all white against a very white backdrop of snow - so it's good to pick out key characteristics to watch for when you are hunting.

I set about making the perfect sandwich - or so I thought at the time. I figured boosting ice types would definitely help me find Frosmoth. While I wasn't wrong, in hindsight, it would have been more efficient for me to make a sandwich to attract bug types. Regardless, here is the recipe I used to find my Frosmoth (with a sparkling sandwich pick for good luck)!

Recipe for Attracting Ice Types:

1 Serving of Cucumber

1 Serving of Pickles

3 Servings of Klawf Sticks (don't worry, I'm pretty sure it's imitiation Klawf)

Any 2 Herba Mystica combinations except Sweet & Sour or Double Sour

You can see a picture of the resulting monstrosity of a sandwich in the photo above!

Frosmoth are gentle creatures by nature and not as prone to attack as some other Pokémon, so running between them without provoking an attack was very easy. I was sure to knock out 60 normal Frosmoth or other surrounding Pokémon to make my odds of encountering a wild shiny better. If you loose track in counting, just wait until the notifications for the outbreak say something along the lines of "There aren't very many Pokémon left from the original outbreak". This is your cue to stop KOing Pokémon and throwing short picnics instead, to attract even more Pokémon of the type you want.

Finding a good place to throw a picnic can be challenging sometimes. It's important to remember that the exact place that you throw the picnic is not ultimately very important - just that you throw one to summon new Pokémon to the area if you can't find the shiny Frosmoth among the ones who have gathered after you've KO'ed your 60 Pokémon. Because the slope on the hill was so strong here, I had to run a fair ways south of the area the Frosmoth were in just to keep the table upright!

Spotting shiny Frosmoth turned out to be as challenging as I had anticipated, as she was off in a corner away from the other Frosmoth and her face was turned away from me so I couldn't see her bright green eyes. Luckily, I did a double take and was able to spot the tips of her green wings instead!

The battle to get her in a Pokeball was long and heart pounding - I made things more difficult on myself by insisting on getting her in a Premiere Ball! If Frosmoth had any moves that could let her exit battle or KO herself, I would have planned differently and used a ball with stronger catch abilities instead. Luckily, in this case I could just be stubborn and eventually Frosmoth settled into her ball.

I named her Menthe after the naiad from Greek mythology! It's also Mint in French! 🌿 She gets along great with the rest of the team and particularly loves to zoom around with Din the Dragapult.

She's also been very helpful in Tera raids! her unique combination of bug and ice typing with the bug tera type makes her downright formidable in certain situations! While she's a bit of a glass cannon, I know she definitely impresses when she sparkles on to the battlefield!

That's it for now, trainers! Until next time, stay shiny! ✨

His name is Matcha and I love him

I wasn’t necessarily hunting for him but I did see the frosmoth outbreak and go “man, I love the green in that shiny” and headed over, and then I was debating on using him in place of Eloise because honestly she’s just been kinda sitting in my team. Then I saw Matcha had a mark

my boy is soggy and I love him
