Shiny Jellicent after 5,492 soft resets, wanted to go for some ghost types for Halloween and the static Jellicent was too cool to pass up.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · 21d

Shiny Whirlipede #2 after 6,316 encounters. Really glad to see another one, since I found another Whirlipede I’ll finish the Petilil and Cottonee lines in victory road instead later.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · 24d

Shiny Petilil after 2,861 encounters, really glad to see another target. It was a lot more noticeable than I thought it would be.

Shiny Swadloon #3 after 7,945 encounters, this is my 5th Swadloon total so I’m kinda sick of seeing it even if it’s a banger shiny. Onto phase 3.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · 26d

Shiny Swadloon #2 after 9,673 encounters. Unfortunate to see another since it’s the same percentage as Cottonee/Petilil. Onto phase 2.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Sep 24

Shiny Whirlipede after 2,039 encounters. Really happy to see a target pretty far under odds too. Will probably stick around for a bit until I get Petilil or Cottonee.

Shiny Roselia #2 after 13,526 encounters, this does complete the line for me since I got a Budew in Pearl a couple years ago. Hopefully I get a target next phase.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Sep 20

Shiny Roselia after 11,082 encounters. A really cool phase that I was kind of hoping that I would see. Second phase for Whirlipede or Petilil/Cottonee.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Sep 18

Shiny Swadloon after only 1,521 encounters. I’ve been so incredibly lucky these last few days I’m expecting a long drought soon. First phase for Whirlipede or Cottonee/Petilil in Lostlorn Forest.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Sep 17

Shiny Joltik #2 after 1,716 encounters on the same game as both Ferroseed. I honestly thought I would be in Chargestone for at least a month and I finished up all the exclusives in a little over a week.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Sep 16

Shiny Ferroseed #2 after only 1,588 encounters on the same game as the first. Really surprised how quickly it showed up right after the first, now all I need is a second Joltik and I’m finished with Chargestone Cave.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Sep 16

Shiny Ferroseed after 9,380 encounters. Definitely feeling the slower encounters of the cave but it really pays off in the end with how sick Ferroseed is.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Sep 5

Shiny Pawniard #2 after 7,650 encounters, figured I should complete the line while I was there with magnet pull.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Aug 19

I forgot to post about the last 4 shinies I’ve found on here… I reclaimed Virizion and got the rest of the trio as well as started the hunt for 2 Pawniard.

Shiny Virizion after 6136 encounters, but I might of mixed up super fang and hyper fang… Time for the reclaim.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 26

Shiny Natu after 2,800 encounters, fled after 9 balls. Can’t be too upset about this one since I already completed the line, plus it was under odds. Eighth of #SafariWeek2025.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 25

Shiny Pikachu after 17,072 encounters, not a 5% because I was using static and I thankfully caught it after one ball. Almost didn’t notice it until it sparkled. Seventh of #SafariWeek2025.

4

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 24

Shiny Oddish #2 after 8576 encounters, caught after one ball. Expecting more Oddish in the future but one more catch will complete the line so I still don’t mind Oddish at the moment. Sixth for #SafariWeek2025.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 23

Shiny Lapras after 29,144 encounters, and it fled after 5 balls. This was really cool to see as one of my targets. but man having it flee after going almost 30k really made it sting. Fifth of #SafariWeek2025.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 22

Shiny Girafarig after 5744 encounters, fled after 8 balls. This was one of my targets so I’m really sad to that it fled, but I didn’t expect to catch it my first time so I’m not too bitter. Fourth shiny for #SafariWeek2025.

5

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 21

Shiny Bibarel after 10,968 encounters, caught after the first ball. Pretty disappointing and I swear the first picture is shiny lol. I did fail one of these back in 2023 so it’s a reclaim and my third for #SafariWeek2025

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 20

Shiny Pachirisu after 5360 encounters, and caught it after one ball too. Been having some pretty great luck overall, I can’t imagine the next hunt being under odds. #SafariWeek2025

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 20

Shiny Oddish after 4992 encounters, and caught it first ball. It wouldn’t be a Hoenn safari without an Oddish. First shiny of #SafariWeek2025

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 18

Shiny Quagsire after 1536 encounters, fled after 6 balls but can’t complain after how quick it was to show up. Second shiny for my safari week pregaming.

HM01 @hm01cut.bsky.social · Jun 18

Shiny Natu after 10,572 encounters in the safari zone, caught it too. Looking for either Pikachu or Girafarig in the safari zone this year. Looking forward to when Safari Week actually starts this Friday.
