So since last night I've been shiny hunting for Alcremie using the Masuda method, but I ended up getting bored so I decided to connect to the internet and do a max raid. Someone was hosting a gigantimax Garbodor raid and since I don't already have one, I decided to do the raid. But to my surprise, it was blue instead of green so I started freaking out! When it came time to catch it, I was very very worried since I had to use an ultra ball, but I ended up catching it! It has near perfect Iv's as well so I am glad I caught it!


Good morning! And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

Sorry for the double post in this thread, but I was doing some random raid battles to try and get some Exp. Candies. When I joined a Morpeko raid, I thought it looked a bit weird but I also just thought it was due to it being dynamax. But then I saw the sparkles! This was my second shiny within 24 hours!

Nice work! I was trying to find a brilliant Dottler the other day, and after about 30 encounters and no brilliants, I got a shiny one! It's purple. I haven't decided what to do with it yet, since its IVs are not great.

I also ended up getting 3 shiny Magikarp at the beginning of the year, forgot to mention!

@KOBY15 How are you getting these images on here, do you post them to Twitter first and snag them from there?

Woah all these new shinys.
Is there a thread for shinys in any Pokemon game around here?

I've been shiny hunting Galarian Zigzagoon lately, through the Masuda Method in eggs. I've hatched a bunch so far but no luck yet.

It’s funny my first raid I did in Sword was a shiny Pidove. I was freaking out because I didn’t know how the mechanics worked but I soon learned you had to beat the Pokémon to be able to throw a ball. Since then I’ve gotten many shinys, especially from raids. Almost too many.

I did end up getting my shiny Zigzagoon egg a while back!

Last night I got a shiny Azumarill from the raid event recently.
