    Right after I beat the first gym, I was walking through the cave next to the city and out of nowhere a shiny Zubat. My shiny pokemon luck is never this good so this is a very bizarre feeling.

    I found a Shiny Tangela in the Safari Zone but it fled before I could catch it, so if anyone is having trouble, and doesn’t want to wait potentially months for another shiny encounter you can use the cute charm exploit to guarantee a shiny encounter if you are desperate and pissed like I was lol

    People commenting how they got a lucky shiny by just playing are so toxic. Yeah congratulations to you, meanwhile I'm here spending my time looking for a shiny.
    Sherwood 22 Dec 2024 21:24
    I don't see how that's toxic but okay
    Wayne121 22 Dec 2024 22:45
    It's not toxic, they are just happy they found it during their playtrough and wanted to share it. The achievement isn't that big of a pain, pokeradar exists, glad you found your shiny earlier today tho :)
    DistantStars 24 Dec 2024 15:47
    I wasn't being serious about the toxic thing. And thanks, it did take an hour but it was alright.

    Oh I am not looking forward to this one. The only shinies I've ever caught were from gen VI onwards.

    Decided it would be a wonderful idea to get this achievement by getting Shiny Giratina.
    I got it, but NEVER AGAIN. The grind was mind numbing. I really should have just done Poke Radar strats lol
    Auri64 28 Jan 2025 03:20
    I got a shiny Magikarp nice
    Wayne121 28 Jan 2025 15:16

    @Boured your guide worked wonders, I did it with Shinx and used Electebuzz Static to increase the Electric Type encounters. Was quite easy to get 40 chains after only 3 tries, it was on Route 203 with the biggest grasspatch obviously. After that took only a few minutes until the sparkle patch showed up.

    Pretty sure this achievement wouldn't be a thing if the Pokeradar wasn't a thing or it would be rather in subsets.

    Kind of a bummer it has trashy nature and has Rival instead of Intimidate ability, would've loved to use it in Battle Frontier.
