Phase 1 of Staryu
6k encounters

If you are only looking for staryu and not farming it is a little more likely to get it by fishing with super rod in Johto at night. Surfing in Unova r13 seems to have the same ratio, but it goes down if you count the random hordes of 5 peliper.

Thought sharing this here would be cool, as it's a very special occasion to me.

 

After 31st Single enc shinies and +500k encs in total. I finally found my Secret, i remember being so excited about getting one when they were revealed back in June of 2022, as i by that time i was already doing single encounter shunts, so i anticipated getting one relatively quick. But oh dear how wrong i was.

 

That initial feeling kept growing with time, as i was seeing more and more people getting them at so few phases, sometimes that number going a bit high, but none of them going higher than 10 at most cases. While i was here trying my hardest to get one, without a single result, at some point i accepted and kind of remained hopeful that at some moment ("eventually" as i said) i was going to find one, even if it would take months/years, it was bound to happen at some point, as long as I kept trying without stopping, which is pretty much the essential for any shiny hunt.

Given this was almost a two year journey, thinking about how many shinies I found throughout that time, the amount of times i got happy to found a shiny, but slightly disappointed it wasn't Secret (minus on Safari, i'm glad those weren't). If you ask me, I was expecting to go double overodds Secret, as it had become the standard for me to joke about not getting one, sarcastically stating everytime "next one would be for sure".

What i wasn't expecting that the last time i said that, it would be actually the next one, and i couldn't be happier, after thousand of hours grinding, doing encs, getting phase through phase, i finally got one, and on top on that, on one of my favourites Unown letters. It has been around 4 hours since i caught it, but i'm still speechless, i can't believe i already have my first Secret Shiny, and this journey for it made it this special.

 

 

 

Spoiler

For anyone curious, all my Secret phases were: Teddiursa (Safari), Cyndaquill (Safari, fled), Feebas, Staryu, 5 Fearows, Meowth, Slowpoke, Phanphy, Sunkern (Safari), Mareep (Safari, fled) and 17 Unowns.
