Pre-badge 4 shiny acquired! My shiny luck continues. I haven’t gone over odds yet. 😅
This is Emerald Legacy btw.

The only thing I disliked about the black colour was the colour of the buttons. This thing is now perfect in my eyes.
Hello again.
Part 2 started on April 12th and finished June 13th. As you can see I moved from handheld emulators to original hardware. I also started tracking stats in a notebook in addition to my Sheets file.
I went with using Brawly and Wattson as one part, since both gyms are accessible after beating Roxanne.
During this part I only encountered one shiny and I say only because in part one I encountered three. My team also contracted Pokerus.
This time around I didn’t use any rare candies. I used Exp. Share for a couple Pokemon that didn’t have any attacking moves (Abra and Magikarp) and to bring some weak Pokemon to levels I can start battling relatively easy.
I trained in two areas. I trained almost all water type Pokemon in Granite Cave and the rest in Route 117.
I started levelling my Zigzagoon/Linoone squad in the Day Care and used the berry patch in Route 117 to farm berries.
Here is the link to my sheets file if you want to see more details: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1flB67mizEvFlW2HQLiZpVmaPN0oGtgZoqJ3N4xe9Cd0/edit?usp=drivesdk
Thats all. See you at the end of part 3 or when the next shiny shows up. 😁
First pre-badge 2 shiny!
It was longest hunt of this challenge so far. Shiny #5.
Now starts phase 5.
First shiny member for my Forever Save file in Emerald.
Although the encounters are extremely low, it’s still not a personal record.
Back in March I managed to get a shiny Treecko at 99 SRs on my copy of Sapphire (I’ve posted it here).
Unfortunately I want to re-farm it because I now have on all 3 copies (Ruby,Sapphire and Emerald) similar TIDs, all starting with 00***.
Last pic is just my farming setup.
See you on the next one!
Did a shell swap. It’s so sexy.
I’ve stopped playing Pokemon as a teenager after Platinum and then started again with Scarlet on the Switch.
I’m really excited since I’ve heard good things about the story and I love how the graphics look (2D>3D imo).
Any non-spoiling tips?
