What are the ✨ odds?
Started playing Soulgold v1.0.4.3 earlier today with some soft nuzlocke rules (only first encounter each route can be caught obviously being one of them) Just entered union cave, first encounter was a Geodude (which contrary to my childhood Pokemon knowledge don’t always have sturdy as an ability) that fainted one shot to a water gun.
AND THEN, third encounter a shiny Lv11✨Geodude✨
First thought: obviously I’m catching this, it’s a shiny there is no way I am not taking this on the journey with me. SWEET.
….AND THEN literally the next encounter (and obviously also caught) a shiny Lv10 ✨Zubat✨
I cannot stress this enough I have not accessed “cheat codes” on the emulator I am running and wasn’t even aware that there was an option for that until I rang my brother and was informed this was a function. Unless there is a bug in this rom I have just hit GENUINE back to back encounter shinys. I’ve ran around and had in excess of 20 encounters since still in union cave without further shinys.
✨ Have a lucky day my friends ✨
