COLLECTING EVERY FRIEND SAFARI SHINY: 🧵

Yup, you read that right! In the final months of 3DS online, I managed to successfully get enough friends to access all 191 Pokemon in the XY Friend Safari, and I plan on shiny hunting all of them!

This is still one of the greatest shiny evolution lines, like no notes. Absolute perfection.

Honedge was the very first Pokemon I shiny hunted for myself. Nearly 6 years later, I'm back in Kalos, and I found a shiny alpha!

It's finally time to announce the 2nd Shiny Alpha Week with a revamped thread, now with alt-text! Looking to join fellow hunters in learning about alpha hunting in Z-A or continue your hunting in PLA? Either way, join me for a thrilling week of shalpha hunting, Nov 21st-28th! #shalphaweek🧵 (1/7)

Regretting getting the Hori Split Pad as my turbo controller for the Switch 1. Turbo controllers seem very useful for shiny hunting in Z-A, but I can't use the Split Pad on the Switch 2 since it's a non-wireless controller that slides directly on the Joy-Con railings for the Switch 1.

+Bonus of all the shinies found in this hunt (minus the Kangaskhan I gave my wife), including two Fletchling I found in the immediate area after getting the Drampa.

5 shiny Kangaskhan, 7 shiny Furfrou, 3 shiny Audino, 3 shiny Fletchling, a shiny Eevee, a shiny Patrat, a shiny Trubbish, and a shiny Drampa in Legends Z-A

I hadn't been spoiled on what shiny Mega Drampa looked like, and it was such a treat to see it in-game! The yellow complements the storm clouds nicely, it's like a big thunderbolt! 🥰

Shiny Drampa after 292 encounters (after starting to do this hunt properly!) My first actual Z-A hunt, and my goodness, shinies are so plentiful in this game. In the 2 days I was hunting this, I found a total of 23 shinies! 😱

So I phased 14 times (one Kangaskhan not pictured here bc I gave it to my wife) before I got an inkling I may be doing something wrong... turns out flying to the gate for the wild zone doesn't actually respawn the Drampa because it's too far away. You have to run to and from the Drampa. D'oh! 😫

13 shinies in Legends Z-A: 4 Kangaskhan, 4 Furfrou, 3 Audino, 1 Eevee, and 1 Fletchling

Okay the Shiny Charm is crazy busted in this game

ShinyAmiibo (SHINY LIVING DEX: 430/1000) @shinyamiibo.standingintheodds.com · 3d

I haven't seen what shiny Mega Drampa looks like yet and I really wanna see it for myself in-game after catching him!

Started my first actual hunt of this game and found this literally within like a minute of starting lmfao. Phase 1 for Drampa

IMMEDIATELY after taking this video I scared off a shiny Fletching (but it's okay I reset the game and was able to reclaim it)

This wasn't too painful at least, took probably less than 10 matches overall. Still really sucks to lock new mega evolutions behind time-limited, online-only events though.

I have everything done for the charm except for the 1000 battles of course. Still a little over 300 shy of that. Time for some Le Nah grinding!

Still don't have the shiny charm but I have completed every side mission now ✌️

Catch rates are abysmal in Z-A even with the fully-upgraded plush, stealth options are far more limited, Pokemon automatically seeing you after one breakout sucks, no equivalent for Heavy or Feather Balls limits how you can approach catches... yeah, PLA is still the king of making catching fun.

ShinyAmiibo (SHINY LIVING DEX: 430/1000) @shinyamiibo.standingintheodds.com · 6d

I still don't think it's toppling PLA as my favorite Switch Pokemon game. Even though the battling is undoubtedly better in Z-A, and the story is arguably better as well... my favorite part of any Pokemon game is catching, and the catching process feels significantly worse than PLA.

Rolled credits on Z-A, and wow. I think it's kind of retroactively improved my opinion of X and Y - the games I've long considered to be the weakest among the main series. So much of that game felt like it was setting up for a payoff that never happened, but now that it's finally happened, man.
