#when I hatched shiny rowlet

[fruitless-vain]

I completely lost all motivation to do things that make me happy lately, between my med change causing major symptom spikes and the chaos of integration both birds and having to restart shams training everything just… exhausting.

But I opened Go back up today and found a shiny from my couch so I’ll take that win

[drakkonyan]

[REUPLOAD BECUASE IM STUPID] [SORRY FOR TAGGING YALL AGAIN SERIOUSLY]

@magpie-trinkets and @lyxthen are sooo big brained and real for pointing out how Edgeworth would be into competitive pokemon, so I NEEDED to draw that

(team logics by em 2, the explanations+ the drawing withut his glasses under the cut)

basically already explained on this thread that started it all, but:

Reshiram: Its the pokemon of the truth. Pluss they share the hairbangs if I may add

Crobat: It looks meanacing and angry but It evolves via friendship so its really just a resting-bitch-face silly guy, and he relates

Kingambit: Steel Samurai+chess inspired pokemon. Thats it. I dont have to add anything else

Lycanroc dusk: morally grey (he relates)+ doggy (he named her pess ofc) Polteageist: We all know he is a tea snob. He would.

Dartrix: ngl I just ran outta ideas so I googled "edgeworth pokemon" to see what to add and this was too funny not to. Then I decided that maya was hatching rowlets because she can therefore she must, when she got a shiny one. Inmediatly she named him "kilometers", evolved him to a dartrix, snatched a pic to Edgeworth with the caption "literally you" and then pestered him until he agreed on A) drop his nintendo switch friendcode B)trade it so he could keep it and C) never evolve it. Deep down he is touched she actually thought of him and aprecciates the fact that he has friends he can, well, nerd with

also no glasses nerd

[apple-orchards-writings]

so, im a hugeeee pokemon fan, and i couldn't resist giving some LI's full teams, i'm posting them for peer review (and also i have no idea what nicknames they would give their pokemon, so uhhh help ?)

I tried to take pokemon solely from the Galarian pokedex, cause it's the UK equivalent and I thought it'd be fun :

Kylar's team:

Chandelure was a Litwick he found in his house a few days after his parents had "the accident", and it brought him some much needed warmth. The things about Litwicks, is that they leech off of people's life force, but is also said to guide lost children to the spirit world, but Kylar was too stubborn to die, so the Litwick stayed and grew up into his Chandelure.

The Absol he found when he was in middle school, he was fleeing from bullies and ducked into an alleyway, where he found an injured Absol staring intently at him. Absols are seen as doombringers because of their ability to foresee imminent disasters, so this one had been chased off and thrown rocks at, meaning it was in bad shape. Kylar took it home and nursed it back to health, and it has since refused to leave his side.

Decidueye was the offspring of his parents' pokemon, and has been his since the egg hatched, so it's very attached to its master, willing to do everything for him, it was here for the accident and remains highly protective of its master. (also owl motif hehe)

The Alolan Ninetales I have less of a reason for, but it is said to act as a guide to people when they come to its mountain, and I had this idea of Kylar coming up the snowy mountain for some reason, and the Ninetales growing fond of this tiny shivering kid, and just following him and cuddling him until he caught it. (idk i just want good things for Kylar ig sue me)

The shiny Galvantula was for me a result of Kylar trying his hand at breeding Joltiks for fun, and this one being in the first few eggs he finds. He decides to keep it, at first for bragging rights, but he really does take good care of it, so another pokemon is added to his ever growing cuddle pile.

Finally, the Crobat was probably found in the rafters of the mansion as a small Zubat, around the time Kylar only had the Litwick and Rowlet. Kylar, having leftover pokemon food, decides to just feed the little fella, and a good friendship blooms. Crobats are said to be extremely stealthy, and can drain people of their blood, so Kylar has gained himself a convenient way of scaring off rivals.

Whitney's team:

Cinderace probably came up to Whitney when he was a child as a Scorbunny, seeing him play football with his friends and wanting to play too. A fast friendship, I'd say, I think Whitney would have been a super energetic kid, and a Scorbunny is perfect for him.

The shiny Togekiss was probably a Togepi gifted by his uncle, and technically a Togekiss, which usually avoid strife, should never stay in Rapeshire, this one likes Whitney too much to leave, it wants to bring him as much joy as possible.

I mean come on, Obstagoon is THE deliquent pokemon, of course Whitney has one. Maybe gifted to him by one of his gang's members ? I think that'd be cute.

Drednaws are seen as highly aggressive so I'm thinking one might have been rampaging through "Whitney's territory", and he wrestled it into "submission", gaining its respect, not before he gets bit through a little tho. He still has the scar from the incident, and the Drednaw sometimes licks at it in apology, now that its been caught.

Alright so I have the headcanon (or maybe it was canon and I forgot) that Whitney has had a garden since he was a kid, and maybe the Roserade came from there as a little Budew ? As in, it was interested and just started staying around, and Whitney couldn't get rid of it, so he just caught it.

Lastly, Sylveon. Sylveons evolve when they have high enough friendship with their trainer (and a fairy move), and obviously Whitney has been pampering it, but I'm thinking it probably doesn't come out of the ball in public much, it's kind of his secret ? But yeah, it's still very much loved.

Robin's team:

Dubwool was found as a Wooloo by the PC when they were going around the moors, it probably escaped from a farm and PC just brought it back for Robin to take care of as a gift. Its wool is said to be bouncy, but I think it can also be a way for Robin to ground themselves if they ever panic, as in they can bury their face in the wool and just shut the world out, I think that'd be sweet.

Goodra has been with Robin since it was a little Goomy, which are considered the weakest dragon type (the pokedex says it not me). Goomys are very good at detecting danger, and can hide very easily, so, sensing little Robin's good intentions, it probably helped hide him from Bailey. Apparently, Goodras give amazing good hugs, even if they do cover their trainer in slime, but I don't think Robin would mind.

Quagsire, similarly knew Robin as a Wooper. Woopers, when walking on land to find food, develop a toxic membrane on their bodies, but this one couldn't quite manage it, and was attacked by predators when Robin was passing through. Robin chased off the predators and gave the Wooper some fruits to help it recuperate, and its been attached to them ever since. Quagsires are very carefree pokemon, and they make great pillows. Basically I'm just giving Robin a perfect team for a cuddle nest.

Victini is the only legendary on this list, and I felt it was only right to give Robin the ever cheerful Victory Pokemon. Victini probably found Robin either after they were taken to the docks, or if that hasn't happened, after they confess to PC. Robin keeps Victini secret at all costs, as it would be hunted for its ability. Having Victini around probably helps Robin regain some self-esteem, and they make a great duo.

Boltund is a dog Robin found in the park one winter day as they were selling hot chocolate, a poor cold mutt with no identifiable traits proving it was owned. Robin secretly took it home and made the split second decision to keep it, now they've got a very excitable dog that's unflinchingly loyal. Boltund acts a sort of guard dog as well, reassuring Robin when they're walking past the docks.

Whimsicott had infiltrated the orphanage, and pulled a prank on Bailey, as Whimsicotts are wont to do, covering his office in its excess cotton. Bailey was furious and looking everywhere for the mischief maker, but the little ball of trouble had hidden itself in Robin's room, and the latter decided to keep it out of trouble and continue hiding it. Ever since then it's felt indebted and stays with Robin. It also quite likes to play pranks on Bailey, and that brings a smile to Robin, so why not continue to do it?

Sydney's team

Inteleon was actually gifted to Sydney as a Sobble by Sirris, reasoning his child should have a partner pokemon, so Sydney is the only one of this list with an actual starter pokemon (in the sense that he was supposed to go on a pokemon journey but ultimately stayed home). Inteleon loves its trainer very much, even if it has to force them to take breaks every now and then. A laid back pokemon and a hardworking trainer is a good duo, they influence each other a lot.

Audino was actually the temple's pokemon at first, acting as an aide to the temple's nurse, but it liked Sydney a lot and always fussed over them much more than any other initiate, so the temple relented and allowed Sydney to keep the Audino. Audino is actually the first one to pick up on Sydney's crushes, since it can use its feelers to sense its trainer's emotions. It subtly pushes Sydney to confess every time.

Dragapult was a lonely Dreepy haunting the temple's cemetery, having been left behind by its pack, it was letting out little mourning cries, which naturally attracted the curious little Sydney, who started leaving some food out for it, since it was too flighty to be approached at first. A few more weeks of getting it used to their presence, and it let itself be caught and taken care of.

Lilligant to me, was originally Sydney's other parent's pokemon, and acted as a sort of mother to them from the start. Lilligants release a soothing aroma, and I think in a time of mourning, or when Sydney lost Kylar, it would act as an aid and smother Sydney in the fragrance to help him feel better.

Okay so work with me for Volcarona here, because in multiple pokedexes, Volcarona is said to have been revered as a sun deity, and while that isn't the case today anymore, it still is a very significant part of Volcarona's history, so finding one in the woods while on a walk someday and being followed by it to the temple, all the while acolytes and initiates are falling to their knees around you is not the thing Sydney was expecting, but still, Volcarona has chosen them, so might as well roll with it.

Finally, Dedenne was a living in the school library before Sydney found it chewing through books and decided to give it a better home, and now it lives with them. It likes to take care of the books as well, and has become the library's unofficial mascot.

so uhh yeah those were my thoughts, tell me what you think ?

[the-stressed-trainer]

Introduction Post

Hello, I'm Hydrangeas. I am an exchange student from Striaton City, Unova, studying at Blueberry Academy.

[The template] [The Picrew I used]

Here's my Pokémon party:

Sneki is my starter. I got him as a Snivy from Professor Juniper.

I befriended Slimy when I was staying at my mother's house in Lumiose City, one summer.

I caught Mimi in Paldea, during my Uva-Naranja days.

Kitty is my Paldean starter. She keeps stealing the catnip jar I keep on top of my closet.

Leafy is a Shiny Leafeon. I raised her since the time she was a tiny Eevee.

I have no idea what sort of Pokémon Wispy is. He is very mysterious. I found him when I was a child. He seems to be a Zorua, but different. Tsukiko says he is a Hisuian Zorua.

I also have a really weird-looking Mew, I guess. His name is Skrunkly.

Hello, my name is Tsukiko and I'm from Hisui. I appeared at BBA out of nowhere. It's not bad here, though.

[Picrew]

Here's my companions...

Momofuku is a Rowlet. I hatched him from an egg.

Shizu is a Hisuian Zorua. I got her from my mother... She speaks in the human tongue sometimes...

Ume is a Hisuian Sliggoo. I caught her when I was in Hisui.

And this is my 'twin' brother, Masakichi.

[Picrew]

Uh, hello, I guess.

I just have an Eevee. His name is Chibi.

Here's my siblings, Dryas and Mel. They will also post sometimes.

Hi, my name is Melanthios. You can call me Mel. I'm a psychic-type trainer.

Here's my team...

Snakespeare is my starter.

Cassandra and Sybil are Slowbros.

Nyx is a Musharna. He's always sleepy.

Rune is a Gardevoir.

Oracle is an Appletun.

And I'm Dryas. Nice to meet you. I'm here to make sure my younger siblings stay safe.

[nyarados]

which one do i prefer? ooooh thats a tough question. honestly i won't know for sure until i finish legends arceus I think. which, might take a while because theres like a hundred side quests and ofc my completionist ass needs to do them all 😭 story-wise, I'd have to go with sv right now, but that may change.

I always lean towards grass starters so i can't help ya there :,) the quaxly line is incredibly goofy looking imo & there's no shame in going with what the heart wants, even if it differs from your usual choice - i ended up going with cyndaquil in legends instead of rowlet!

i hadn't shiny hunted very often before sv, but when i did i had incredible odds 😅 like i tried chain fishing and the very first mon i pulled up was shiny. got pretty lucky hatching snivy eggs too iirc. but i could never get the hang of chaining, the grass shakes always looked exactly the same to me 💀

yes! xy is peak pokemon fashion. i bought so many clothes in that game lmao. legends arceus has some neat clothes but they're mostly just reskins of the same few designs that I've seen, so far.

no spoilers, that i can do! but imo it's really heartwarming and a little heartbreaking too. there's this one character i disliked at first, but over time they grew on me like a mold (affectionate). in terms of the l:a story, you have a god given quest to catch em all & you kinda just solve everybody else's problems along the way, it seems.

if you are interested in getting scarlet or violet, definitely look at the version exclusives because they've got some cool late game mons. i like the scarlet ones better than violet but i wanted my pretty knight lmao. i just traded my exclusives for my boyfriend's & it all worked out :]

the last game I played was sumo but i stopped after beating the 1st gym 😅 been thinking about going back and playing through some older games since i do have em all on my 3ds now...

& dw about reply late! I'm not typically online on weekends very often either nowadays :)

- 🌸

ohhh I'm such a sucker for sidequests too like what's the point if I don't finish it all and help out all these poor people 🤨

nah I just feel like I'm betraying my water starter roots 😭 but god if pokemon doesn't nail the grass starters every time!!!!! if I end up with legends arceus I can't deny it I would probably choose rowlet 🦉🌱 hehe hisuian typhlosion looks a lil funny to me. and honestly I'm not tooooo familiar with samurott's design I think? so every time I see the hisuian version it just looks the same to me 😅 but I love what they did with the decidueye variant!!

LMAO yes that does sound pretty lucky. I've never shiny hunted before period so I'll probably have to look up how to even shiny hunt when I begin doing it

well I say no spoilers but I think I may have seen some things abt scarlet violet's lore regarding the profs being the reason for time travel.... I stopped reading after that initial glance though. nauurrr not a mould 😭😭😭 but was it ummm gavin? nvm I just googled I meant arven 💀💀💀 but was it him? I also heard that nemona is very love her or hate her 🤔

yes I'll definitely look at the dex if I choose to buy don't you worry 🫡 I remember wanting scarlet more just bc of the prof 👁👁 but I was seeing lotssss saying violet was better.... so this is interesting insight from you 🤔

[magicmalcolm]

Completely unrelated to this Azumarill Raid Event going on...I’m gonna need a new Pokémon for Shiny Egg Hunting.  I completely forgot that I hadn’t switched out from Rowlet yet.

Suggestions are welcome.

[ivy-saurs]

now that i’ve finally got the shiny charm in pokemon sun, i’m so unmotivated to do any shiny hunting skdfsg

[gerbits-vault]

1. If you tell me that Rowlet is not the cutest starter ever to exist, you are wrong

and

2. If you think that the Alola Photo Club isn’t the best thing to be added into this game series, you are wrong

and 

3. If you think I didn’t take 40+ pictures of this sweet smol birb, you are wrong

[zartophski]

Hey, could you cover the Pokémon for each of the Chain’s teams and why you chose them? Also each of the starters for them!

You can keep it to the ones who have had their Pokémon revealed for now as well.

Also, nothing will convince me that the Lord of the Mountain isn’t just Xernas! It just works too well in my brain.

Oooh thank you for the ask!!! Yeah hfgsdh when I was figuring out the worldbuilding, I had thought of Xerneas taking Satori's place. But as I was working out the region, I really wanted to keep some of the Zelda creatures, so Satori became its own Mythical pokemon, a Fairy/Ghost type! But since Mythicals are a level below Legendaries, it does fall under Xerneas's domain. Kinda like Celebi and Dialga both being Time-related.

But teams! I've got them listed below the cut. Most of the teams were chosen by vibes or connections to characters/features/things in the Zelda games, with lots of help from lots of friends fgdsh. Starters are a bit looser in this AU. There are official Professor-given starters, but it's much more common to find a pokemon to be your partner on your own.

Sky: His starter was Rufflet, who's now evolved into Braviary. He has a Honedge nicknamed Fi and an Altaria that's twins with an Altaria that Sun has. He has a few more pokemon, but he'll get his debut soon.

Four: We've met Shadow already, an Umbreon. He also has Red (Flareon), Green (Leafeon), Blue (Vaporeon), and Vio (Espeon). Which one is his starter? There's a fic coming for that one.

Time: His starter was a Cutiefly named Navi, who's since evolved into Ribombee. The only pokemon we've met of his so far is Saria, the Phantump he found in the Lost Woods, but he has a full battle team aside from her.

Legend: His starter was Scorbunny, who's now Cinderace. His Meowstic is twins with Fable's Meowstic, and we've met his Sableye briefly. After The Main Event, he gets a service pokemon, a Musharna named Marin. She doesn't count to his carry limit, but he has a full team that we'll meet in the next chapter.

Hyrule: His starter was Dedenne, and the rest of his team was introduced in Welcome to the League. Ariados, Fennekin, Klefki, Vivillon, and an Eevee egg... I wonder if that will hatch soon...

Wind: His starter was an Oshawott, who's now a Dewott. I posted a little snippet here where he met Piplup early on in his Gym Challenge adventure. That was a few years ago to present-day, so he has a full team now that will be introduced soon.

Twilight: His starter is Epona, a Mudbray that's now evolved into Mudsdale. It will come as no surprise that he has a Gogoat, along with a few other aptly-themed pokemon for his character fgsjkh.

Warriors: His starter was a Ralts, that's now evolved into Gallade. His Pyroar and Corviknight have been introduced in Ups and Downs, but he also has a full team that will show up soon.

Wild: His starter was Rowlet, who's now evolved into Decidueye. She's a shiny, because the color scheme of the shiny reminded me of Wild's cloak (thank you Karo for pointing that out to me!). His Flapple was one of his early catches as an Applin, and the rest of his team is Arcanine, Boltund, Sawsbuck, and Scraggy.

[thecindercrow]

for the alternative ask game, flying type! (that's my fav type :^D)

I built my flying team in another ask but since I didn’t elaborate much let me talk about some of my favorites here :)

Corviknight is a giant ominous crow friend. what more can I say. when the first previews for the new swsh pokemon dropped, multiple friends made sure to notify me of corviknight, and they were right. I named mine Bailywick, mainly because I thought it fit Rookidee and didn’t realize at the time that’s where corviknight would come from. When I put everything on pause to try and hatch a shiny cottonee he became foster father to so. many. eggs

Gyarados I’ve always liked the magikarp-gyarados line, and it’s easy to forget gyarados is part flying. love that the pokemon who everyone thinks of as useless gets angry and powerful but isn’t just those traits either. I will befriend a magikarp and raise a gyarados. the mythology tie-in is also great

Toucannon - my confession is that I never finished Moon, BUT I did really like my team in it and toucannon was a beloved pillar of that team. She has a great design and moveset. I’m also realizing now that I like multiple pokemon that just look pissed the fuck off and I wonder if that means anything

Noivern. They went off with this design. I love it

Archeops. Good design, love it’s dumb little face. Nice type mix and a surprisingly effective team member

special mentions to Swoobat, Noctowl, and Murkrow. He’s a little crow dude!

Also shoutout to the Rowlet line. Decidueye is one of my favorites but technically not flying so I can’t include that one specifically. But when I have a fave I appreciate their whole line too.

[bug-catcher-in-viridian-forest]

The Untamed Pokémon AU

WEI WUXIAN Wei Wuxian was renowned for his talent in catching Pokémon.

Decidueye (Shiny) When Jiang Fengmian adopted Wei Wuxian, he gave him a Pokémon egg as a gift. After a while, the egg hatched into a shiny Rowlet, which trained and grew as an archer alongside its trainer, eventually evolving into a Decidueye. The Pokémon was freed by Wei Wuxian before his death and eventually returned to him upon learning the news of his resurrection.

Kartana

Since his childhoon, Wei Wuxian has cultivated the ability to temporarily summon Kartana from other universes and use their help to accomplish various tasks.

Lotad The Jiang family, by which Wei Wuxian was raised in Lotus Pier, owned a colony of Lotad. He used to play and train with the Pokémon during his childhood and youth, but was unable to visit them after his estrangement from the clan. 

Ninetales After being rescued from the cave on Dusk Creek Mountain in Qishan, Wei Wuxian was preparing to leave the region to return to Lotus Pier. That’s when a young Vulpix started following him, attracted by the yin energy of the sword he had found inside the cave. Wei Wuxian let the Vulpix attach its spirit to the sword, so that it could hide within the weapon at will. During Wei Wuxian’s three-month-long stay in the Burial Mounds, fighiting against the spirits led the Vulpix to evolve into a Ninetales. There, thanks to its affinity with revengeful souls, it helped its trainer to control the surrounding resentful energy and make the area hospitable for life. When the yin sword was disassembled to make use of its metal, part of the material was employed to create a spherical pokéartifact able to contain the Ninetales. The Pokémon was freed by Wei Wuxian before his death, but, instead of abandoning its master, it chose to reside in its pokéartifact and remain there hidden in the hope of his master’s return. The artifact was collected by Jin Guangyao, who kept it among the items of his personal collection, though he was never able to release the Pokémon. Years later, the artifact was found and stolen by Mo Xuanyu, who, being an admirer of the Yiling Patriarch, immediately recognized the object for its significance. After being kicked out of the Jin Sect, Mo Xuanyu even begun to wear a Ninetales mask and dye the hair at the top of his head with white power to resemble the Pokémon, in honor of the Yiling Patriarch. Upon sacrificing his own life to resurrect Wei Wuxian, Mo Xuanyu left him both the pokéartifact and the mask, so that the master and the Pokémon could be reunited. The Ninetales was feared for its Howl, with which it was known to often accompany the sound of Chenqing.

Shuppet During his three months in the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian caught several of the Shuppet which were infesting the territory in an attempt to survive in his stay and later used their help to increase his level of demonic cultivation. The Pokémon were freed by Wei Wuxian before his death. After his resurrection, some of the Shuppet returned to him and he even caught some new specimens.

Yin Yamask Wei Wuxian caught a Yamask during his three months in the Burial Mounds and attached to it the piece of Yin Metal that he had obtained from the sword he had found inside the the shell of the Gigamax Black Drednaw of Slaughter. This Pokémon was for a time considered his strongest attacker, until he freed it before destroying the piece of Yin Metal attached to it and dying.

Chimecho A Chimecho was given to Wei Wuxian by his sister when they met in secret during his time in the Burial Mounds. According to his sister, the Pokémon had been meant as a gift from the late Jiang Fengmian. Calm Mind is one of its strongest moves.  The Pokémon was freed by Wei Wuxian before his death.

Mudbray | Little Apple Wei Wuxian took a Mudbray in order to leave Mo Village after his resurrection and decided to keep it afterwards. It was named it Little Apple due to its fondness of apples.

Accessories To disguise himself as Mo Xuanyu, for a time he wore a Ninetales Mask.

Other While he formed strong bonds with many Pokémon, Wei Wuxian was at times known to capture them in order to eat them, a fate especially reserved to members of the Pidove evolutionary line.

LAN WANGJI The rules of the Lan Clan allowed its disciples to raise only one partner Pokémon and it was also forbidden to capture Pokémon inside Cloud Recesses. Due to these restrictions, Lan Wangji never possessed more than a few Pokémon.

Altaria As a child, Lan Wangji chose a young Swablu as a partner and they have remained together ever since. Now it has evolved into an Altaria. It can use its melodic voice to accompany Lan Wangji’s zither and it’s often used by its trainer as a mean of transportation. It’s ability Natural Cure helps it remove its status problems upon switching out of battle.

Togepi Lan Wangji briefly raised a Togepi to later give it to Lan Sizhui as a gift.

Aegislash’s spirit | Baxia For a time, Lan Wangji carried in a pouch the spirit of Baxia, the partner of the late Nie Mingjue.

WEI WUXIAN AND LAN WANGJI

Nidoran colony In their youth, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji fell into a cave where Lan Wangji’s ancestor, Lan Yi, had been residing in the hope of resealing the piece of Yin Metal which she had originally liberated. With her, they found a colony of Nidoran wearing the Lan clan’s headband. After the departure of Lan Yi’s spirit, they took the colony out of the cave and under their care.

(I have several headcanons for the secondary characters as well which I may write about as soon as I have the time and add under the read more. Also I think I’m going to draw some art about this AU in the future!)

LAN SECT

According to the rules of the Lan Sect: - Killing and capturing Pokémon is prohibited in Cloud Recesses; - Fighting Pokémon battles without permission is prohibited; - Disciples are only allowed to raise one Pokémon.

LAN YI

Nidoqueen Lan Yi was given a Nidoran♀ in her childhood, which eventually evolved into a Nidoqueen.

Nidoran colony Lan Yi illegally bread a colony of Nidoran from her partner Pokémon Nidoran♀. Both because they were easier to keep hidden and because she didn’t want them to loose the ability to breed, she never evolved any of the descendant Pokémon.

LAN QUIREN

Drampa As a very young child, Lan Quiren befriended a Drampa which later became his partner Pokémon. Due to his rarity and size, it was a very unusual Pokémon for young children to have, which made Lan Quiren feel quite old. As the Pokémon grew older, it was said to lose his naturally nice temperament.

LAN XICHEN

Altaria Lan Xichen was given a Swablu in childhood as his partner. As his younger brother was also given a Swablu some years later and both Pokémon evolved into Altaria, they came to be known as the Twin Jades of Lan. It is often used as a mean of transportation and it’s ability Cloud Nine eliminates weather effects. It has the capability to mega-evolve.

LAN SIZHUI

Togetic Lan Wangji has a Togepi especially breed for Lan Sizhui. It later evolved into a togetic.

Accessories Beautifly toys remind him of his childhood.

LAN JINGYI

Chatot Despite Chatot being normally considered to loud to reside in Cloud Recesses, Lan Jingyi was exceptionally allowed to keep one.

[mossdeepmedium]

I found two shiny Pelipper by pure chance. First was in Platinum- named him SeaGreen. Second I found in... I wanna say Sun? Might have been X but idk. My gf, now wife, told me to name her Nigel after the pelican in Finding Nemo. She also named my hatched shiny Rowlett Nemo. My first that wasn't scripted was a Magikarp in Gold or Crystal. Ran away b/c I DIDN'T KNOW... Next was aaalllllll the way in Pearl - Electrike from a swarm, named Shiny. Was worried she 'd stop being shiny when she evolved

You and your wife have a lot of shinies together! That is really cool, and I love the Finding Nemo theme you and she went with on Peliper and Rowlet! 

[atrainernamedradish]

I have been meaning to do this list for quite some time. I’m glad I waited till Generation 8 to do it since this list would be slightly different. Keep in mind this is my own personal list so some of your least favorites might be on this list, or you might have a totally different opinion all together. Since this is a top 10 some Pokemon didn’t get to make the list so...

Honorable Mentions: Espeon, Mightyena, Breloom, Gardevoir and Mega Gardevoir, Regigigas, Rockruff line, Cofagrigus, Diggersby, Minior, Drampa, Bewear, Slugma, Rowlet line, Lunala, Altaria, Absol and Delphox.

Top 10 Favorite Shiny Pokemon

10) Zygarde 50% Form

This is such a lovely shiny. It takes the boring black and ugly radioactive green of the original color scheme, and turns it into this crisp and clean sparkling white and minty green. Simply breathtaking.

9) Giratina

I love how this shiny really embraces the ghost typing of Giratina. The color scheme is terrifyingly beautiful, if you will. I usually like shinies that take dull gray and black color schemes and soften them up or change them to a white or silver color. This is hands down my favorite legendary shiny. So gorgeous!~

8) Sableye

I am not normally one to like the color of metallic gold, but something about this shiny just looks so stunning in it. I like having the chest gem changed to green because it gives the color scheme a sort of greed feel to it, and that just makes the shiny even better.

7) Slurpuff

This shiny is not only cute but also delicious. The colors are so playful, if you will, and I like how Slurpuff goes from being strawberry and vanilla to cherry chocolate. Overall it is a tasty and fun shiny, and I simply adore it!~

6) Metagross

This shiny is so sleek and badass looking! Silver is one of my favorite metallic colors, and the fact that it is accentuated with a nice golden yellow that stands out real nicely to the silver really earns it some brownie points since those are some of my favorite colors put together. I just feel like the original is just, well, boring, and in the shiny Metagross just looks like this steel juggernaut! There’s a reason this is on a lot of top shiny lists. It’s just so fucking cool!

5) Rapidash

Usually Ponyta gets more attention and praise for its shiny, but honestly I feel like the blue flame shinies are just so… cliche and not in a good way. What I like much more in Rapidash’s shiny is that the charcoal lavender looks so striking and elegant. Overall it’s just a pleasant shiny to look at it and it has always been one of my favorites~

4) Ninetales

This is hands down one of the most beautiful shinies I have ever seen. The colors are just lovely. I simply love how beautiful but deadly the vibe of this shiny gives off. It is easily my favorite Generation 1 shiny of all times!~

3) Milotic

This shiny is just down right GORGEOUS!~ There is not much I can really say other than that because it’s true. I just love it so much.

2) Ampharos/Ribombee/Furret

These three are on here since I couldn’t choose between them, with them all here for the same reason: well-made pink shinies. I think all of their shinies look good and even make the Pokemon cuter *especially Furret*. These are much higher on the list because I’ve liked some of these shinies since they debuted in Generation 2 and it would be a shame not to put them on the list as well as any lower.

1) Alcremie

And here it is the obligatory black shiny. I spent such a long time trying to hatch one of these! It took me almost 600 eggs before I finally got one! I had the candy and nickname already picked out as well as I was saving the mushrooms for the Gigantamax Soup I was going to give it for when it finally hatched. This took so long but it was worth it! It is literally a cookies-n-cream shiny and I love that! This shiny overall just does everything right for me to where it deserves its place on this list, and I can’t wait to use it in a future playthrough!~

Some recent shinies in SW/SH. Tbh the prizes on the meowth caught me off guard. Honestly you never know when a raid is hacked or not but I'm not going to kick a gift horse in the mouth. I have lost 2 raid shinies so I wont be missing any for awhile 😤

Rowlet was pretty fast with MM @ 209. That was hatched on the 2nd of june?

This morning around 2am I was blessed with the HA Sobble @ 270 MM eggs and the drampa was a random raid. Was trying to find a shiny lapras raid lol Oddly I started the sobble hunt the night before they gifted us the HA starters and I didnt get one until this morning when I transferred the first batch of non shinies to home. So I swapped it out and got it not even 30 later haha. What luck!

Well... I haven’t hatched a shiny Rowlet (715 eggs so far), but this guy showed up when I was running, waiting for the Pokémon to produce eggs.
