Haven't had the most of time to hunt recently but picked this up & got it after only 3 resets this evening. Timid and female too, crazy. Fossils traded in from a completed White 2.

Shiny Lileep after 20,316 hatched in Ruby! ✨
One of my favourite Pokemon, S Tier shiny imo but made to work for both of them in Gen 3, the soft reset Lileep took 34,722.
Might move onto some Fishing hunts now, haven't decided yet.

Shiny 5% Pineco after 12,125 encounters in the Safari Zone! ✨

Jumped back into the Safari Zone and found a swift Shiny Teddiursa after 420 encounters! ✨
He sadly fled but I have the line completed and I'm sure I'll find more of these hunting down the 5% Pineco. 2 in 1 with Magmar, some decent luck at last.

Shiny Magmar after an insane 77,700 encounters! My new longest hunt✨
#4 for my Fire Monotype Challenge through Silver. It finally appeared after a 133,884 total encounters & 3 Koffings. Such a good shiny but definitely one of, if not the toughest hunts mentally I've ever done.

Shiny Teddiursa #2 is my 4th for #SafariWeek2025
Fled after 2 balls. Not too bothered as I have the line completed.
That'll probably be my last one for this year though I'll be returning to Hoenn Safari after a break for that 5% Pineco!

@ Full Odds hunters. I've put together a little server to run some experiments with Gen 2 RNG. We need some willing participants to do some hunts across 2-4 systems on either Gen 2 physical or 3DS VC.
Let me know if you're interested, or tag someone who might be.
