Shiny Pokémon

Wait, you're allowed to talk about those shinies here? I was too afraid to mention the 40 hours of resets I spent to get my Giratina.

My favorite shiny Pokémon in my collection is by far my shiny Goodra. I caught it as an alpha in Pokemon Legends and transferred him out to Pokemon Shield to evolve him into regular Goodra with my XP candy hoard, and then dragged him to Violet so I now have Shiny Non-Regional Goodra in a Strange Ball with the Former Alpha mark. My greatest feat. I love him.

Why wouldn't you be allowed to speak of these shinies here? Technically speaking, shiny-locks didn't happen until Gen 5. So he could have received a shiny Giratina someone migrated from Platinum haha. However, 40 hours of resets? I wouldn't have the patience haha! Man now I really want to play again and shiny hunt.

My favourite shiny is definitely my Level 100, IV trained in all IVS except Special Attack, Nature lowering Special Attack, and 0 Special Attack IVS, Rowlet.

I didn't know that it was that hard to get. I was just amazed that it was traded in a wonder trade and i got it!

I'm not really talking about that. I was more focused on Wonder Trade shinies usually being hacked. I got mine by Soft Resetting the Giratina encounter in Platinum, but most people wouldn't Wonder Trade a Shiny Legendary they hunted. The shiny is probably not a real one. It sometimes takes hours of Encounters to find one shiny, and along with the amount of Wonder Trade hackers, finding a real Shiny is Wonder Trade is probably as rare as actually finding a real Shiny.
I was too scared to say that I actually shiny hunted (since Pokémon and Nintendo usually prefer people playing the game normally), so it's a bit surprising to see that a comment mentioning probably-hacked legendaries was approved.

It's fun as long as it's not the Switch (you have to close and open the game instead of press a few buttons to reset), and more importantly while you focus just enough to hear the shiny sparkles. It's a good idea if you have a lot of time and don't mind constantly resetting as you watch YouTube or TV. (Tip: Breeding shinies is hard and I wouldn't recommend it as a first shiny hunt)
I wasn't sure on how the Pokémon Company felt about Shiny Hunting, and usually wonder trade legendaries are hacked so I was pretty surprised they allowed it. I wonder if I can talk about the one-pokémon-per-route-and-if-a-pokémon-faints-it's-gone challenge too...
