Shiny Diary

 

 Tympole ♀ - 05/19/2023 (Single, SS)

Spoiler

My first shiny that I encountered in PokeMMO (and in general, never found one in the OG games.) I got this less than 10 hours into the game while going through the Unova story. I didn't know what a Secret Shiny was so when I linked it in Global and everyone went crazy, I realized how lucky I was for this little one.

Golbat ♂ - 05/22/2023 (Single)

Spoiler

Still new to the shiny game, after finishing Unova I went to Route 13 to shunt for Absol. I had no idea the rarity of shinies or how hard an Absol shunt would be, but I went for it anyway. I also did not know how to utilize leppas at the time anyway, so all I did for awhile were single shunts.

 Medicham ♀ - 05/25/2023 (Single)

Spoiler

Another shiny I stumbled across by accident. I was doing Sinnoh story now and came across this gal in Acuity Lakefront. Again, still not realizing my luck I was still so happy I found another. Also at this point I was friends with Kole and became a part of Team ZomB.

 Tangela ♂ - 05/27/2023 (Single)

Spoiler

After finishing Sinnoh, I again returned to my Absol shunt spot in Unova on Route 13. I had a better idea of rarity and shunting at this point, so this was my 2nd Absol phase. I also started really appreciating how lucky I was as a new player. After this shiny, life started going crazy and I had to get off my luck train. I took a 5 month break from the game.

 Druddigon ♀ - 10/30/2023 (5-Horde)

Spoiler

I returned to the game on October 16th, but it took 2 weeks until I found another shiny. After being so used to my lucky streak from before, I was very frustrated and began doing leppa shunts. After 2 weeks I finally got my 5th shiny!

 Floatzel ♂ - 11/05/2023 (5-Horde)

Spoiler

I enjoyed doing the last leppa shunt so I decided to keep going at it, and for whatever reason I decided to do Floatzel.

 Clefairy ♀ - 12/07/2023 (Single)

Spoiler

After Floatzel, I went a month without getting a shiny. I forget if I was focusing on other things in-game, or went back to an Absol shunt, but either way I started leppa shunting Smeargle at one point and it took AWHILE. I took a break from Artisan Cave to go to a Metang Swarm in Mt. Coronet, and stumbled across this beauty randomly. This is your daily reminder to NOT USE REPELS!

 Smeargle ♀ - 12/12/2023 (5-Horde)

Spoiler

I wanted a shiny catching mon, so I decided to go for Smeargle. This shunt was my longest and it took 48k encounters. I was very pleased when I finally got it because I did a lot of late night shunts for this one.

 Swadloon ♂ - 12/16/2023 (Single)

Spoiler

After getting Smeargle, I went over to Lostlorn to single encounter the Pan-Monkey trio (Pansear, Pansage, and Panpour) as well as Servine. This was my first phase.

 Clamperl ♂ - 12/25/2023 (5-Horde)

Spoiler

At this point, the Xmas 2023 Event just dropped and all I wanted to do was take advantage of the shiny boost. I shunted all event with a +40% boost and this guy was my 1st of the event, nice little Christmas present :]

 Snorunt ♀ - 12/28/2023 (5-Horde)

Spoiler

One of my team members got a SS Froslass from one of the Mysterious Poke Balls, and that made me want a Froslass. I decided to shunt Snorunt in Shoal Cave. I got extremely lucky with not phasing and encountering a female.

 Shinx ♂ - 12/28/2023 (3-Horde)

Spoiler

I had around 30 minutes left on the shiny charm I got Snorunt on, and decided to go somewhere random for the last 30 minutes. I went to Valley Windworks in Sinnoh and just 17 MINUTES after Snorunt, I encountered a shiny Shinx.

 Horsea ♂ - 12/29/2023 (5-Horde)

Spoiler

A few of my team members were shunting Horsea in Whirl Islands and I figured I'd join them. Including me, 3 ZomBs got a shiny Horsea that day which was pretty cool.

 Skorupi ♀ - 12/30/2023 (Egg)

Spoiler

I figured with the event going on and shiny boost, I'd start doing some egg shunts. I had a box of Skorupi and a box of Absols. I hatched this Skorupi in 25 eggs and started going absolutely insane when the egg animation started happening. For the rest of the event I only focused on Absol eggs in hopes of the same luck. I bought a SS Tenta off the GTL to breed with my Skorupi and I now have a SS Drapion.

 Gligar ♂ - 01/07/2024 (Single)

Spoiler

My first shiny of the new year! I was looking for Entei on Route 45 and came across this guy.

 Pikachu ♂ - 01/11/2024 (5-Horde)

Spoiler

One of my team members got a shiny Pikachu and it made me want to shunt Pikachu for a bit. Pikachu is a classic, so why not? I encountered it while playing Overwatch at 2am with some of my team lol.

 Koffing ♀ - 01/16/2024 (5-Horde)

Spoiler

I wanted to return to Lostlorn for my single encounter shunt, but first I wanted a shiny Reactive Gas mon incase I ran into a random horde.
