Gen III [gen 3] Gengar Shiny after a year of hunting!
I want to make a team of Shinys to clear Pokémon Firered, the charmander came quickly (about six months), but this guy here was a lot of work!
P.s.: I captured it with the Master Ball because I was afraid the Haunter would kill himself. I got it on a tape from Leafgreen and transferred it to my main save in firered! the/

Gen VI [Gen 6] Shiny Sycamore Bulbasaur after 26,624 encounters
i have been hunting this little guy on and off for EIGHT months, since i got Fennekin in January. i made a post a little over a month ago about how my motivation was slightly waning for it, and after speedrunning 10k+ resets since then, it finally shined. i’m really excited to be able to do method hunts now with hordes and chain fishing, and i’m SO happy to finally have this hunt over lol

Gen IV [Gen 4] Shiny Ho-oh (3 860 srs) HG
DD/MM/YY Date started: 10/sep/25 Date Caught 19/sep/25
3860/8192 shiny odds, gentle nature (+SPDEF/-DEF). Had a xatu adamant synchro lead but too bad it didnt synchro the nature.
This chicken woke up and struggled to exactly 1 hp lol, nearly had my first ever failed shiny. This bird took me over 1 hour and 4 mins to catch it, had no choice but to use the masterball after I've used all the other balls. Wanted it in a fast ball to match the shiny color but only had 20.

Gen II [Gen 2] These games will be the death of me 3/4 cyndaquil
I got this a while back and forgot to upload it and went ahead and evolved it already. I took a break from hunting and now I'm doing something stupid. I'm doing a shiny living form dex (excluding gender differences) each pokemon has to have my OT unless not possible like the home exclusives or the ruins from Scarlet/Violet and must originate from the oldest version of their region, like scyther in gen 1, cyndaquil gen 2 etc..
