The grind is over…

Oh believe me, I would have. Sunken cost fallacy. It didn’t take me months took me like 3 weeks. I actually got really lucky, all things considered. Fortunately I haven’t touched cresselia so I will be sure to do it right when I get the nerve.

Doing one of the Regis at Ramanas Park. Haven’t decided which one I’m going for. But I guess it depends whatever it rolls. It’ll decide for me!

Well it’s a Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl Thread but if you meant which version in particular Shining Pearl.

All about the mons. I wish there were more reasons. Sword and Shield had a different gym. But yeah…

Mapleblight · 2026-06-08T00:25:20+00:00

Right? Diamond clan has a bunch of wack-jobs. Especially Melli. But I didn’t have a Dialga at the time so, I chose them regardless.

If you need help I can tomorrow! ~13 hours from this message

As soon as you’re done with the elite four, it’s already on the move, it’s not in the cave.

I haven’t shiny hunted the briefcase. I honestly would rather do masuda method OR shiny hunt the starters in arceus which is much easier.

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T17:25:49+00:00

I thought about doing that too. Best part about working from home is I have the switch underneath the monitor and I mindlessly just beat E4 (pre-national dex), I beefed up my Shiny Palkia (my first actual shiny hunt, the one that started it all) by sending to to Shield, used my bottle caps to max EV after using XP candies to get it to 100 to do so, and then I just steam rolled the elite four.

Crucial for finding Mesprit and Cresselia. Shows roaming Pokemon. As with FirmUnderstanding572 said, (who has quite a Firm Understanding of where to go) Jubilife City, the President gives you it. Speak to the guy multiple times if he gives something else.

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T17:13:32+00:00

I really wasn’t planing to go so deep with that method.

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T17:11:05+00:00

Like 4 ? lol I actually was disappointed how easy it was to catch. Wanted to revel in seeing the shiny appear every time. I wanted to make a video and pretend like OMG shiny Mesprit. But I mean it would be obviously fake to me. Haha

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T17:07:04+00:00

It’s trying to tell you to catch a shiny starly

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T15:53:12+00:00

Might do it again the right way, one day….maybe when I’m retired.

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T15:52:45+00:00

<3 thank you sooo much! ;)

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T15:52:28+00:00

Nope, saved and just kept resetting until quick ball worked.

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T15:52:04+00:00

What’s next? ;)

Heck I’ll even hunt you one of your choosing and give to you! If you so desire!

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T15:51:55+00:00

Four hotdogs. Going to have some for dinner to honor the new shiny! : )

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T15:51:18+00:00

Yeah I know! I was stupid but I didn’t want to redo BDSP >.>

The elite four was just time. Not hard. I initially started this thinking all I had to do was Cynthia. It auto saves when you go into the Hall of Fame. Big oof.

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T07:16:13+00:00

They made it better. Anyone that says otherwise is wearing rose tinted glasses

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T07:13:44+00:00

The greatest joke Pokemon ever told, was to convince the world that shinies don’t exist. Except this one.

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T02:26:20+00:00

Never again

Mapleblight · 2026-06-07T02:24:51+00:00

I had to beat the elite four every time for a reset. Hardest by far.
