First Pokémon that I ever attempted to shiny hunt. I started the hunt on August 30, 2019 and it took me over 4 years to find.

Second member of my single file black DTQ, got him while I was “stuck” with my girlfriend and her siblings on the island of Roatan off the coast of Honduras.

This has been my longest documented hunt so far. I tracked 26,128 encounters but if you account for the 1/3 chance of getting a double battle where I was hunting the final amount of Pokémon seen is closer to 35,247. I found this shiny while at my friend’s house on his birthday.
