And In That Time I Got Six More Entries - Tumblr Posts
Update time! I seriously planned on doing this earlier but alas
Especially since now I have a whole month of progress to comment on!
And it’s a lot of progress
Here’s what I did!
I got 68 brand new entries!
That brings me up to 189 total shiny entries (+18 legendaries who do not count) or
207/242 total pokédex entries
With only 35 remaining!
This is huge progress and I’ll probably be able to complete this by the end of January!
Awesome!
Some bonus stuff:
Five side quests completed!
1) Find Ingo in the photography studio and take some pics with him
2) Do fifty battles in a row in the enteral battle revery (gets you a mark on your save screen)
3) Earn the shiny charm in brilliant diamond (for any shiny breeding I need to do there)
4) Complete the second part of the Violet DLC (for fun)
5) Aquire every alcremie form (including the shiny ones) again. (Bonus points for giving them all marks)
Bonus challenges:
55 completed paths of solitude
59 perfected dex entries (27 new!)
199/241 alpha living dex
13/28 alpha unkown
Also, here’s my new Violet shinies for funzies:
So yeah! That’s the long and the short of it! Thank you for tuning in!
Ages ago back when Legends Arceus first came out, I toyed with the idea of completing a shiny dex. (Replacing every dex picture with its shiny counterpart) I got halfway through before massive mass outbreak hunting kinda killed my motivation. But! With Eevee week in Violet finally letting me complete the entire shiny eevee family, I regained some of that former vigor and have decided to give it another go!
I won’t spam you with updates since this is first and foremost an art/writing blog, but since I mostly do submas stuff I thought some of you might be mildly interested lol.
My two rules for myself are-
1: Transferring from other games is both allowed and encouraged. Shiny hunting distortion spawns is an exercise in misery and I will not participate in its madness. Those bad boys are getting Mesuda methoded
2: I’m not doing legendaries or mythicals. While I DO have the resources to do most of them, I find legendary hunts boring and uninteresting. (It’s mostly loading screens) And they’re long!! I could maybe do it if I only had to do one… but 10ish is far far too many (especially since I’d have to replay through bdsp TWICE to even START some hunts) Hunting all the legendaries would take up most of the time if I let it
Anyway, I’ll only post about my progress every so often (less then once a week lol) but if you want to block them completely I’ll be using the tag #blue’s shiny hunting adventures
All that being said- I’m currently at about 123/224!
(Extra info under readmore for those curious)
Here’s my current list! There’s probably some errors in there (as well as spelling mistakes but everything is highlighted in red so I’ll never know what’s ACTUALLY spelled wrong) but this is fine for now lol
Shinies I’ve transferred from other games so far include:
- a shiny patcharisu that I caught in bdsp via radar
- a shiny magikarp and garados I caught in a new years event in sword AGES ago
- a shiny sneasel (+weavile dex entry) that I hunted in violet named Lady Baby
- a shiny bergmite who I hunted in Violet named Akari (who I did NOT evolve so I’ll need a new one anyway)
- a shiny umbreon and espeon who I painstakingly hatched with perfect IVS in Violet
- a shiny vaporeon who I spent AGES hunting in Violet
- a shiny flareon and glaceon who I accidentally ran into ten seconds apart from each other when I wandered into their mass outbreak in Violet
- a shiny jolteon and leafeon who I casually hunted for and found later that day in Violet
- a shiny abamasnow, rufflet (+braviary dex entry), snorunt (+frostless dex entry), toxicroak, and golduck I found randomly while playing Violet
Since starting this challenge yesterday I have found a shiny starly, chatot, remoraid (+octillery dex entry), and tangela!
I also currently am at 32 perfect dex entries and will hopefully have more by the end of this lol
And, of course, here’s my current shinies physically in Legends Arceus!
