Two shiny Stunkys in a single outbreak. I wasn't even shiny hunting. I usually don't even care about Stunkey. I was just trying to fill my dex research.

I don't think I'll make the same mistake this time. This is just too awesome.

I had an outbreak with two shiny Skuntanks! Skunks love to shine I guess.

Well, I just finished "Incarnate Forces of Nature."I still have plenty of other sidequests to do but as far as moving forward with everythin, I'm really down to filling the pokedex until Arceus shows tself. This is going to take a while.

42/63 Milcery captured for the Alcremie in my living dex, and 3 days to go. Got enough of all the sweets, so now I'm just farming the max raids for the Milcerys. Also I was annoyed at first but now I'm glad there's no XP in max raids, or my hilariously overleveled team would be even more hilariously overleveled. Even though the pokedex suggestion section encourages you to run around capturing, they really didn't seem to factor it into the leveling progression. Only just beat the fairy gym, and everyone's in at least their mid-40s, with my bolthund leading the pack at 55 from all the capturing.

Oh right! Sword/Shield. I've been so caught up in Legends Arceus it actually took me a moment to figure out what you were talking about.

Me, I prefer to be over leveled. Oh, you're the gym leader, huh? Guess that makes you pretty elite it the Pokémon realm eh? *bonk* Give me my badge now, scrub.

Now I've gotten so used to Arceus, I'm not sure what it would feel like to go back to a more traditional Pokémon game.

I'm working on my second full shiny team. I could technically make quite a few more than 2, but not everything is a shiny I want to build team ideas around.

I'm averaging at least two shinies a day.

Wanted to share this picture at least, as it's my first alpha shiny.

Oh, Shiny Alpha Luxray! Nice! Congratulations!

On a separate note, is anyone else finding legendaries really easy to capture. I usually dread Legendary hunting because it's always a war of attrition hoping you don't run out of balls or the legendary doesn't run out of msoves and suicides itself.

Here, the Forces of Nature were a pain in the ass to get to, but I have every legendary except Arceus and not a single one aside from Manaphy took more than two balls to capture. Giratina, the one I was dreading most, was three moves. Lopunny - Play Rough, Roserade - Stun Spore, one single Jet Ball and done!

I'm not complaining. Totally not complaining. I just find it funny that I've had base Pokemon...definitely some alphas, that have been harder to catch. Except Manaphy. For some reason I did have a bit of trouble with that one.

Yeah, I definitely feel like the capture rates on the legendaries is better in this game, which is massively appreciated as it's always felt really grossly unfair to me.

Oh, Shiny Alpha Luxray! Nice! Congratulations!

She started as a random shiny alpha Shinx, but there was no way I wasn't going to evolve her.

I don't have Twitter anymore. What you can do is send it to your smartphone. The Switch will give you a couple QR codes. The first links you to a private network just between the phone and the Switch. The second opens the picture in a web page and you can download it from there. That's how I post my pictures.

I tried that and it wouldn't work for some reason with my phone.

Sometimes it takes me a couple tries, like I'm not sure if the connection is slow or just not there. But I can usually get it to work. Sometimes helps to make sure no other apps are open.

Shiny Bellsprout caught in Go, shiny Alolan Meowth hatched in Go but now a shiny Alolan Persian in Let's Go and a shiny Carnivine in Arceus Legends.

I think the next Legends game should be set on the land featuring Kanto and Johto and explore the lore behind the Unown, the legendary birds and dogs, it would be interesting to see why the Unown are in the image of the english alphabet, it implies Pokemon is set on a future Earth rather then a alternate one, gen I also said Mew was found in South America.

I found another shiny Geodude in nearly the same place I found the Alpha one before!But He's staying a Geodude. Wasn't impressed how the Golden Nugget look dwindles into meh.
