Idek how to start this post. Back in 2021 I decided to start the game only until I got shiny piplup. Grew up with pokemon Pearl so I wanted to make this playthrough special. I thought it would take 2 weeks to a month max…and i was so wrong 😭
Ive been on and off shiny hunting (soft resetting) for piplup for almost 4 years now. Yes i know there are other (MUCH easier methods) of getting shiny piplup but I challenged myself to do it the OG way.
Last week I finally got it, I was with my GF and when the shiny piplup popped up on screen I shot up from the couch and SCREAMED. Ive been (actually) playing the game 24/7 since. Havent caught any other pokemon since, until I soft reset for shiny Dialga (im delulu)
And oh yeah, I encountered 2 shiny Starlies too 😡
