Update: I got it at 1,083 but I misplaced my masterball and lost it....

Sooo I'm hunting VC Celebi and I'm curious if this hunt is a normal for the other hunts like Poipole time wise due to having to wait through the text and encounter which takes about 18 seconds. I know I am nooooo where near odds (I'm only at 1,020) and counting, resetting while typing this lol)

I've gone and done other shinies but they were easy "walk into, check, restart" please tell me Celebi is the worst encounter time wise to #beatthebank 🙃

Edit for updated count

So a few years ago I purchased a 3DS that had a few games with it, one of which was Pokemon Moon. I already owned Moon so I just set it aside for a rainy day...seems that rainy day is coming soon now. When I loaded up the game I noticed there was already a save file from years ago and I just had to preserve their memory or maybe one day reunite them to their OT.

XxSinxX if you're out there don't worry, all of your precious named Pokemon will be safe with me until you can one day reunite with them 💚

If you are the OT I have multiple other screenshots that I can use to ask possible verifying questions so please let me know!

Like the title says what are some of the pokemon we should shiny hunt before the close? I know of Celebi, Type: Null, and Poipole but I'm sure there are more!

EDIT: adding them as they're mentioned
•Spinda
•Cap Pikachu
•Surfing Pikachu and Pichu
•Type: Null
•Celebi
•Jirachi
•Gen 1 shinies
•Gen 1-7 Pokemon from their OG game

Team Rocket gave me an amazing deal!!! I even got a free invite to join them! Said I'd be guarding a bridge or something in a place called Cerulean or something?

I'm down to like 60 shiny pokemon left in PLA and while doing a MMO I flew by to check three statics I don't have in CM: Lickilicky, Vespiquen, and torterra. When I flew over and heard that sound I freaked out 😅 another shiny added to the list!

Went and decided I'd hop on and do an outbreak or two and the first one I noticed was Tyrogue and it's one line I had yet to complete. I already have Hitmontop so I figured if I could just get one Tyrogue I'd hold onto it until I could get two more for the other hitmons....

Well about 20 mins in I was about to say "eh onto the next outbreak" turned around a saw one!! I saved and caught it and after saving again another one runs into me 😳 I started freaking out thinking there was no way I just got two from one outbreak! After I caught that one I didn't want to spend much more time on the outbreak because two was already a mind blown!

I like to take out the rest of the outbreaks rather than run away and as soon as I see the message that there are no more from the original outbreak...there's the third!!! I swear I think I used all of my shiny luck for at the very least 6 months 😅

My apartment just said that everyone on the first floors had to remove bird feeders due to bears and are unsure if the ban will be lifted. I can't, as a SAHD, take many without the help of them and getting more birds in the area. It's very very upsetting for me as this was one of the things I could actually passively do at home. 😓

So I might be able to update once in awhile if I can get pictures here and there when I'm on my own out and about but I'm not sure. I know it sounds like such a dumb thing to be upset about but I needed to vent somewhere..

Ps: Photo isn't mine just found off of Google

My bird camera set up can't make anymore storage so I don't have any from the feeders and add in the heat I haven't been out much birding 😅 photo #5 is horrible quality because it was so high up and it was the best angle I could get it at but it's a Barred Owl!

I was told I should name my frequent fliers at my feeders so here's some of them!! My seed feeder was attacked by squirrels and chipmunks however I just got it back up today so they shall make returns there for next week pictures!

*All of these were taken in the Waynesville area, but I hope to expand soon if I can!

*Photos taken by me

It's 5 days late but here's some bird pictures for y'all!

(Also I have discovered a hatred for squirrels...last picture is a chipmunk though and it's not as bad 😂)

Preeeettyyyy sure that's a members only tree...unless you're a Burmy, Wormadam, Cherubi, Cherrim, Combee, Vespiquen, or Aipom. 😬

This is the first time I've ever seen something like this! There's like 4 Brown Thrashers who are ALWAYS eating but I do get others like Sparrows, Titmouses, Nuthatches, Chickadees, and annoyingly squirrels 😅 at this feeder. So I'm pretty sure it was trying to rule the cage there maybe?

I never thought it would actually happen to me!!! 4 shinies, two from the MMO and two just normal as I flew around after 😧

I think I'm getting a little bit better! What do y'all think? 😊

I put the newest ones first and only the best ones imo 😁 so far here's what I've seen:

Northern Cardinal
Carolina Chickadee
Brown Thrasher
European Starling (grrr...)
Carolina Wren
Pileated Woodpecker
Song Sparrow
American Robin
Eastern Bluebird
Common Raven
Turkey Vulture
House Sparrow
Blue Jay
Rock Pigeon
House Finch
Northern Mockingbird
White-breasted Nuthatch
Red-Winged Blackbird
Northern Flicker
American Crow
Barn Swallow
American Goldfinch
Eastern Towhee
Common Grackle

I was thinking about doing a post like this each week with all of my favorite pictures for the week and only list new birds I've found! What do y'all think? 🐦 💚

Take these American Robins for example, they're all different ones from different locations. Or would you even do it from the same bird on different days? Like I have a pair of Brown Thrashers that love showing up on my porch that I like to photograph here and there on different days, would you register them each time?
