I now have two shiny Lugia! Except I stole this one from some old hobbit in a volcano:

Wait, what? Everything from XD is shiny-locked.


The joke is that shadow Lugia is a different color than normal Lugia.

Might've worked better if I said it was an Orre variant or something.

Ah. :P Well, just be sure not to take it anywhere near something called a Purify Chamber!

I hope it's okay to bump this thread. Has anyone caught any interesting shinies lately? I caught this Psyduck in Fire Red yesterday. I was actually searching for the 1% Koffing in Celadon pond, but I found this in no time at all. It's 99% for Psyduck to appear and I was using sweet scent because surf encounters are slow.

It is. It's on-topic.

I don't see the point personally.

Aaaactually, now that you mention it…!

I don't remember exactly when I got it, because I've already completely forgotten the entire process. Fairly recently, though, and my first in Gen 7! :)

I might use my eventual playthrough of English Vega as an excuse to go for more, but I'm realizing I've kind of lost interest in the whole collecting thing…I've put off learning how to do it in the Orre games for years already.

Ok so this is what's gonna be good to do for shiny hunting once we have Pokemon Home. Simply shiny hunt through PoGo since they have a higher spawn rate it seems (My dad's caught at least 15) and then send them to Pokemon Bank through Pokemon Home. Or just send them to Switch games of you want through Pokemon Home.

I thought you were making reference to a joke at first…but no, apparently this is a real thing…
