Full odds idiot that loves generation 5 and the Nintendo DS

Full odds encounters this year: 18,735
Full odds shinies: 2
Average encounters per shiny: 9,367.5
Shiny Swadloon after 4,658 encounters. Hunting for Karrablast on the side while hunting for Gothita on Black. This being the sixth Swadloon I’ve found.

Shiny Solosis #3 after 14,077 encounters. Really bizarre to complete this line before finding one Gothita since I was hunting both at the same time.

My shiny hunting bingo for 2026, I'm still currently really locked into hunting in Black and White so I think I'll actually get a bingo this year.

2025 was the biggest motivation I had for shiny hunting, doing a total of 647,284 encounters and finding a total of 85 full odds shiny Pokemon with an average of 7,615.1 encounters per each shiny. Here’s hoping that in 2026 I can do even better.

Shiny Liepard after 5,132 encounters, the last shiny of the year. Glad it’s something that I didn’t have before.
January 1, 2026 at 4:25 AM
Shiny Minccino after 10,810 encounters, likely my last of 2025. I was hoping my last shiny of this year would be a target but there’s still time left in the year to find something else.
December 30, 2025 at 6:42 AM
Shiny Solosis #2 after 5,498 encounters, only need one more to complete the line but anything else in the route besides for Minccino would be sick.
December 2, 2025 at 2:08 AM
Shiny Solosis after 10,457 encounters, I was surprised by how noticeable in this game compared to how it is in later generations. Pictures don’t do it justice.

Shiny Elgyem after 3,888 encounters, really pumped to have this hunt done with only one extra Litwick. I’m planning on hunting the wild Beeheeyem some other time.
November 12, 2025 at 11:10 PM
Shiny Litwick #4 after 11,632 encounters, a little unfortunate since I already completed the line. Can’t say I expected to win a 50/50 considering my track record.
November 7, 2025 at 12:16 AM
Shiny Litwick after only 772 encounters, another really fast phase thought it means that I completed the line without finding an Elgyem so hopefully it shows up next phase.
October 27, 2025 at 4:33 PM
Shiny Litwick #2 after only 748 encounters later on the same game as the first. Crazy quick find especially after the last phase went over 10k. Staying here until an Elgyem shows up, hoping to not phase too many times.

Shiny Litwick after 10,920 encounters, I started this hunt before knowing Chandelure was going to get a mega in ZA making this all the more special.
October 26, 2025 at 5:37 PM
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.
October 8, 2025 at 11:37 PM
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.
October 4, 2025 at 8:04 PM
Shiny Petilil after 2,861 encounters, really glad to see another target. It was a lot more noticeable than I thought it would be.
October 2, 2025 at 6:05 AM
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.
October 1, 2025 at 9:10 PM
Shiny Swadloon #2 after 9,673 encounters. Unfortunate to see another since it’s the same percentage as Cottonee/Petilil. Onto phase 2.
September 29, 2025 at 9:08 PM
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.
September 24, 2025 at 8:16 PM
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.
September 23, 2025 at 5:41 PM
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.
September 20, 2025 at 4:09 AM
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.
September 18, 2025 at 1:39 AM
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.
September 17, 2025 at 6:52 PM
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.
September 16, 2025 at 9:44 PM
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.
