289 Rockruff eggs hatched, no shiny. Losing hope! There's still one more day left, but I'm not feeling confident.

You, guys. somehow manage to complete Arceus exprolation more than once, I can't complete it even once. %) It took me 1 year and 1 month to complete it once :P I'm thinking about embarking on it a second time once all gen 7 mons I like are released -------------------- |

No shiny here yet but holding out hope. If not I will continue it after the event. Part of me is wondering if I should have went for rock ruff first. Oh well. I haven't had an event header for a long while though I most likely miss them since I usually use the mobile version of the site.

I think the only reason I managed to get to where I am on it as quickly as I did was due to constant clicking for the SWSH... otherwise, I tend to procrastinate horribly at large clicking and battle tasks. I'm the same way to be honest. When there's no scavenger task I care for, or I don't join a swsh then I have no motivation for clicking whatsoever. Battling, eh depends if I have a decent team. Thanks to scavenger tasks I have a few decently leveled mons of a decent IV range. I tend to be able to beat most within 3 tries. ----------------------------------------------------- I hereby apologize for always being so negative and full of doubts . This Pokémon was egg #633 in MiyukoKaioh 's 18-day site-wide shiny hunt started on July 13th, 2017. All the best to everyone who still has to hatch their first Shiny in this SWSH! Congrats The lovely thing with shinies is that you never know when you'll encounter one! There's always a chance you hatch one at the last minute of the final day. -------------------- |

This has been bugging me for awhile. Why does the Oricorio [Baile] egg ALWAYS look like it is about to hatch?

I finally got a Wormhole event! I'd been waiting for one for so long, I was starting to think it would never come and I'd have to spend vouchers on it.

I have five or so boxes full of lvl 100 pokemon of varying types that are all 140+ IVs, plus I always analyze the team I fought against afterwards to try to optimize my team for the next time I have to fight them. My problem is that I'm more of a collector than a battler, so it's never been a priority and it just kind of fades into the background unless I have literally nothing else to do or it needs to get done so I can move on to something else. -------------------- |

Would anyone like to Shiny Hunt with me for a Staff Novelty for the Achievement, since I'm breeding Dracowymsy currently? ^^

I'm the same. I love to collect pokemon. Evolving them isn't a problem, I don't care how much clicking or how many explorations I have to do. Battling isn't just my forte. I can do it, yes, but I'm no expert. It's the same in the games. I love the game per se and even breeding and collecting good IV'd pokemon and rareball pokemon. But I never take part in online competitions because I don't like battling that much. Would anyone like to Shiny Hunt with me for a Staff Novelty for the Achievement, since I'm breeding Dracowymsy currently? ^^ I would, I've been wanting to retry for a Bidofo or try for a Feral Zergoose (if this one counts I guess) for ages, but atm I can't, I have my shiny recorder full -------------------- •TRINKET TRADING PLACE•||FC: 4055-4266-5767 POKEMON SHINY HUNTER//XY; ORAS; SUMO; USUM Spoiler (click to show ) |

Unless I get super duper lucky today, this will be a failed SWSH. Hunting Type: Null seemed like a fun challenge at first but I quickly grew bored.

I've been absent these past few days because I haven't had anything interesting to say. No news is good news?
My girlfriend did join the site today tho so that's something :0 she's not super big into pokemon but she likes them. There's a surprising amount of people I've met off site that have accounts here but most of them haven't lasted cries 8( like the person who invited me. Welp. -------------------- |

I've had a Hoopa in the header for about a week now, actually. Decided to try this waiting thing out, since I don't need a Hoopa, but I do need a Wormhole.
I'm using the Honey+ today (cheers Sam) to hatch a last few eggs, and hopefully maybe get a shiny? And also to get more of this exploration done. I'm only just over half way into it now, 5000 clicks is a bigger barrier to me than it used to be. :zzz: What I need now are Pecha Berries so I can get this next task done. Please and thank-you! -------------------- |

Finally, after 769 eggs I got my shiny Rockruff . I was getting worried that I wouldn't finish the hunt in time, but it is finished. I was actually hoping to get it quickly so I could go after Type: Null, but I'm not too bothered. I'll just start a hunt for it later.
Got another Cosmog egg in my party today, it took 4 days of Prankster or Hoopa before it changed to the Wormhole. Now if it would hatch shiny, wink wink. I've been quit busy since I got back to work, I wish I was back on vacation again. I've been having issues with one of my coworkers, which is totally not fun to work around. I'm going to be glad when she leaves on the 10th for a week, it'll give me a bit of a break. -------------------- |

I'm not having fun anymore I'm too tired. I'm the unluckiest person this hunt according to the SWSH page. Reminds me of some of my own horror hunts, like Farfetch'd (2,040 eggs), Cottonee (1,713 eggs), Carvanha (1,438 eggs), Cubone (1,356 eggs), Growlithe, (1,333 eggs), Sneasel (1,280 eggs, though it turned out some pretty good IVs), Cranidos (1,133 eggs), Flabebe White (1,080 eggs), and Phamtump (1,035 eggs) just to name the ones that broke 1k. Type: Null's sitting at 311 eggs right now... I'm not even sure if I want to continue the hunt if I fail, I'm so freaking tired of seeing Null eggs... I think my completionist nature's to only thing keeping me from switching it to end once the event's over... one way or another, I'm getting that little bugger -------------------- |

Mother of God. I've had 112 shiny hunts and only two have broken past 1000 eggs (noibat and bulbasaur) and 32 hunts under a hundred (including two under ten)
I kind of feel like I don't deserve it because I honestly feel like I half ass this site lmfao I can't stop laughing tho I have an almost unbroken string of successful hunts under 100 eggs back in 2011/12 makes me wonder if they changed the shiny rate since then (Edit for fixing spelling ) This post has been edited by Gym Leader Clay: Jul 31 2017, 09:28 PM -------------------- |

Looks like I won't finish my Rockruff hunt tonight, but since I got two other shinies this month, I'm not upset. Can't wait for that prize.
Moltres was just released in Pokémon GO, and man, are the raiders really out there. I'll have to join them tomorrow while the getting's good. -------------------- Check my GPXPlus journal to see what I contributed to the site! Interested in a commission? PM me. |
