Shawn3K Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Can anyone tell me what is the fun of hunting shiny Pokémon? Besides wasting time. Edited March 5, 2021 by Shawn3K AdleyMD 1 Link to comment
RealMak Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Well, Shiny hunting is mostly for extra cash in your pockets. But you can keep the shinies to flex them as well Shawn3K 1 Link to comment

Neuzzz Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 like in your profile picture, you have a shiny pokemon (that you actually caught). And you show off to others who cry about not having shinies. That's what "flex" means Shawn3K and RealMak 2 Link to comment

Bearminator Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 After a day of work, there is something soothing in hordes. Horde, run, horde, run, horde , run. You ever turned on some game just to drive around in car with mind out, or went for a drive to let your mind fly? Kinda same feeling. Plus you can show the shiny to others on chat and they are like AYYY Lacei, Poufilou, Obvi and 4 others 7 Link to comment

marisa Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I like hunting while I'm doing anything else. If I didn't find shiny it doesn't matters because I didn't waste my time at all. Maybe the process to get one is boring, but when you find it's very exciting, I like so much the uncertainty of knowing what IV,s and nature have.( And here is when you discover that your shiny torkoal is adamant XDXD).

Damian Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It's always going to be difficult to try to explain why something you like is enjoyable if someone else doesn't enjoy it. I like to grind at stuff because it feels like I'm accumulating resources and I find it soothing. You might also compare it to playing a slot machine or opening packs of trading cards or loot boxes, where you keep punching buttons and eventually you get the rare event that you wanted. It's a fairly harmless form of gambling compared to those other things for sure. marisa and GodofKawaii 2 Link to comment
