He decided to send me three shinies in a row, but they were all shinies I had before I even finished the main story 😭 this is what I get for complaining

Mobile formatting! Working on a Shiny/Alpha/Shalpha living dex and I’m about 520 hours in. Using Google Sheets, I’ve tracked my catalog of trophies. Usually when I play, I stay in an area until either I find a shiny/alpha I don’t have or I get bored of the area and finish my party of Pokemon. Now, I might just be the basement step-child of RNJesus, but I’ve not been able to find many shinies lately. I’ve gone from 1-3 shinies in an outing to barely *any* in the last two or three outings. The one time in the last couple of weeks I’ve found a shiny, I got my hopes up all for me to turn around and find the FIFTH shiny graveller of the save. ._. But what I’ve lacked in shinies, I’ve managed to luck out in alphas! I snagged a Nosepass and a Goomy this week, which makes me feel a lot better. The shinies *are* showing up more often, I am just an impatient gremlin that’s tired of only getting regular outbreaks. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made, and excited to show y’all a snapshot of my PLA journey.

I’ll have to change to match him later, but I was so excited when I launched the game, and the alpha gastly I was looking at in the distance before I left last time just sparkles! Hands down my favorite shiny of the line 💜

(Mobile) I wanted to see if anyone else had discovered these issues. I’m on Arugual for reference. Ben says Paddlefish are the fish of the day. The goblin is here, but the fish are not. My minimap is set to display fish, and it also shows they’re not here. I went to every mass fishing spot I could think of, and nothing. When I went to do my farming dailies, it will not let me complete my work order quests past the first phase. Picking up my crops didn’t trigger the quest like it usually did. And my addons didn’t update until about an hour ago- it was the same then as well.

(Mobile formatting) I decided to start a living dex as stated above a long time ago while waiting for a shiny Ralts to spawn. I spat something into Google Sheets to help keep track of 248 Pokemon (excluding legendaries and including all unowns and region/gender variants) and set off to do Dex tasks. Currently I’ve caught roughly 30% of shinies (175 remaining), about 85% alphas (33 remaining) and barely 2% of shalphas (I only have four). I’ve been working on 100% the Pokédex while I was at it, and it has significantly helped my progress. In the beginning (post game), I would see MAYBE one shiny every time I sat down to play (1-2 hours at a time). Now, I’m catching 2-3 shinies every time I sit down. Thought this was interesting and wanted to share!
