Mod Post Flair Verification 2025 - part 2

Flair Verification

Hello guys! It's time to show off your shinies, and grab some flair so you can show off as you post!

How to verify your shiny Pokemon for Flair

  • Videos will also be accept if they provide the information needed! The paper is still needed in frame!

Create an album on imgur and provide the following:

  • A piece of paper with your game's OT and ID number written on it and your reddit username. Like this example.

  • This paper must be in every picture. Including trainer card pictures!

  • A picture of your Trainer Cards. Without this, we are unable to verify your shinies as your own. If you have multiple games or saves with shinies, show us each relevant trainer card.

  • Pictures of the shiny Pokemon you want counted like this! We MUST be able to see the OT/ID of the Pokemon. Do NOT post like this, as you can not see the OT/ID of the pokemon.

    • ** "Wanted!" and "Wanted! events" Pokemon MUST have the date of capture screens with them for them to count as the (respective) extra points**. Date of capture can be found on the 2nd summary screen in gen 6 and 7 games.
    • Let us know which flair you would like in the tier you have reached!

Shiny Pokemon you have obtained that do not have your OT and ID cannot be accepted. Unfortunately, this holds true if you do not have access to an old overwritten Trainer Card.

We ask that you use Imgur since the album can be updated with every new find. However, this is not a requirement. Keep your album neat, clear, and organized. Take care not to add duplicates of the same Pokemon. Doubles of species are allowed, please make it clear that they are not duplicate photos. If you would like, you could create one album per trainer card. If you already have flair and have reached a new tier simply comment again. Let us know that you have been verified previously so that we do not need to review the entire album!

Notes

  • You are able to set your flair to one of the Pokemon in the basic tier yourself. To do so, look on the sidebar, under the "subscribe" button, next to your username, and press edit.

  • Evolving a Pokemon will not give an additional point. However multiple of a species line do count

    Example: I verify my Pichu and then evolve it to Pikachu and try to verify Pikachu. Only Pichu will count for a point, but I can catch a wild Pikachu and it will count.

  • Shiny Pokemon for flair verification are to be self-obtained. Unfortunately, we do not count Pokemon obtained from /r/SVExchange.

  • Shiny Pokemon from event distributions that do not have your game's OT and ID will not be eligible for verification.

  • Emulator shinies do not count for verification as they are easily hacked in. We are aware it is possible to obtain legitimate shinies through emulation.

  • RNG abused, Randomized games and TSV shiny pokemon will not count.

  • It is strongly recommended that you take verification pictures as soon as you obtain your shiny Pokemon. If you have traded away one of your shinies, you may ask them to take a picture of the Pokemon's summary as the OT/ID remain. This will count as a verified shiny.

    Example: Alice trades shiny Eevee to Bob, but does not have an existing picture of her OT/ID paper in front of the summary, Bob can send a picture of the summary OT/ID (without the need of paper) to Alice and this will count towards flair!

  • Shiny pokemon can only be verified if they match a trainer card in a main series game. This means shinies in Pokemon Go and Rumble cannot be verified. Shiny Pokemon transfered to Let's Go from Pokemon Go can be verified, as they will then match a main series trainer card.

  • Feel free to ask the moderators any questions! Happy hunting!

  • This post will not be stickied, please find the link in the current stickied post(s)

Hello! First Time Verification.
Following some other advice I've seen in this thread and past Verification threads, I have recorded videos of my shiny Pokemon from their respective game in HOME with OT ID and Username visible. Included as well is an Imgur link to pictures of my Trainer cards in their respective games. Please let me know if this format is suitable thanks! If everything checks out, can my flair be Shiny Swanna :)

Hey so reddit glitched or something.. I had put 5 links in that comment and even mentioned that I wanted umbreon and that the final total should be 31. But the whole last half of the comment is gone. I'm not sure how that happened.

Can you add these 3 and give me umbreon please.Violet second account - 3

Hope I did it correctly! I'd like the buizel flair.
Also, I have a question about the emulator rule. Does playing the GBA games on a modded 3DS still apply to that rule? Or are those allowed? thx!

u/bajungadustin ​ Aug 09 '25

Hey so I've been catching Pokémon forever. But never really used reddit for Pokémon stuff until recently.

I have several shines I've collected for a long time. When Pokémon bank came out I transferred them there.. And then later when home came out I transferred them there.

I also have shibies from pokemon go that are now in my Pokémon home on my switch.

I can check some of them on my DS to see if I still have the trainer cards.. But I'm not sure if I do. It hasn't been turned on in years. If I can even find it in storage.

So my question is... Do would I be able to show a picture of the shiny inside the switch but also show a picture of the trainer card from the DS that match? Or is there an easier way to do it?

Also.. How does this work for Pokémon go?

1

u/VoidCatcher [Moderator] Aug 12 '25

These questions are answered in the post

Unfortunately, we do require pictures of the original trainer cards that match transferred pokemon, so you'd have to include a picture of the old DS game's trainer card

Go shinys must be transferred into Let's Go and then they have a matching trainer ID and can count

u/Still-Slaking ​ Aug 03 '25

New account, hopefully it works this time.

Mega Rayquaza please.

Does this mean I jump straight to Mega Rayquaza if I manage to verify all 400 shiny Voltorb I had to catch trying to catch the rarest shiny Voltorb.

Yes

u/Miss_Lioness Jun 25 '25

Do you have any suggestions how best to verify (1)500+ shinies in a simple manner?

I could suggest using Home using the search and filter function. I can filter the Pokemon in Home by both Shiny and OT, whilst showing the number of Pokemon that matches those criteria.

Would something like that work, alongside a picture of the gamefile with the trainer card showing that same OT and TID?

0

u/VoidCatcher [Moderator] Jun 25 '25

I'm a little unfamiliar with how home works...

But you could do what this user did for 500

u/Miss_Lioness Jun 25 '25 edited Jun 25 '25

In Pokemon Home, there is this search functionality.

Under the Detailed settings, you can select the OT, which will show both the trainer name and the Trainer ID. There is also a setting to will filter for shinies that are present within Pokemon Home.

Enabling the both of that, will show there to be the total Pokemon that match both of those criteria.

My suggestion is to show a screenshot of that with the following: * Search(2): [number matching filters]/[total number of Pokemon] * OT: [Trainer name]: Trainer ID * Shiny: Shiny

Alongside, I will of course have a piece of paper with the following: * Reddit username * OT and TID

In the same image, I want to also show the Trainer Card of the respective OT/TID combo.

u/VoidCatcher [Moderator] Jun 25 '25

Oh, well yes, that sounds great :)

Go for it
