The funniest thing about getting Pikachu is that I was spending the time looking for PICHU and then get the rarer Pikachu. Amazing. My friend Rhea was mad

For my Teal Mask playthrough tea

First Badge Quest Member Catch Combo only reached 10, just to increase the amount of Bellsprouts I could see so it was still full-odds. Also I'm not entirely sure if I counted the amount of Pokemon I saw correectly.

Phase 2 for Litwick No I'm not joking. Literally two minutes of me doing a new run, and then going into the room, running out and then running in the general direction, there was ANOTHER Gastly.

Phase 1 for Litwick But that time is not accurate - I was already doing encounters before I started timing myself considering my method of running around. But yeah - time wise, I'd consider it closer to a couple of hours. Maybe two total? I don't know for certain - I was doing things in interval throughout the day

One of the first shinies I had gotten in Pokemon Sun. I definitely remember this was after I got the Shiny Charm in Sun.

Second X Badge Quest member I did a "duel hunt" as I call it - where on my main 3DS, I was soft-resetting for Squirtle and doing random encounters for Espurr, Sentret or Honedge. Only going to consider the random encounters for this guy, which is also why I'm keeping the console count to 1 especially since they weren't the same methods and for entirely different Pokemon.

Phase 2 for Swirlix or White Flower Flabebe I nicknamed him Guru after the Smeargle NPC from Pokopia (which hasn't come out yet at the time I got it). I was going on and off with shiny hunting for this member, but it did take so long between the phases and I'm a little disappointed it was another Smeargle? But I feel like that's just going to happen to be honest. Jolly is a pretty good nature for a Smeargle though

For my Teal Mask playthrough. Random encounters is as close as I can list for a case of "I wanted to see what popped up first without me using a method"

Using on my playthrough team because it was the first full-odds shiny that I encountered. Changed the stat gains to Adamant nature

Using on my Teal Mask playthrough team

This little guy was caught entirely randomly. I was just tappng on Snivy, thinking how funny it'd be to get it shiny and there it is. I will figure out how to transfer this guy to Pokemon Violet to use on my Indigo Disk playthrough team to also have him at as low a level as possible

Was just looking for randomly and found sitting on top of the column that it hangs out on

Fourth phase! And now I have the main team for my playthrough!

Found it as my first encounter in a Friend Safari when all I wanted to do was see what was in the Ice Friend Safari. This was in the middle of my Friend Safari Pachirisu hunt - but it's not a phase because that wasn't even in the same place.
