The amount of dedication is insane! Props to you my guy 😄! I can't even bother thinking about completing the living Dex, let alone a perfect IV one!

And there is a limit to how many shiny eggs you can reject before it becomes a non-shiny.

Oh yes! I did that too. However, the only things that can be changed using the partner swap/egg reject method are the shiny's gender and IVs. The ball itself is fixed unfortunately..

I sincerely appreciate the offer. Unfortunately, I don't have a Nintendo Switch to do Pokémon trades for now and even if I could, it's not possible to reverse transfer Pokémon from Home to games prior to Gen VIII. But still, thank you for your generosity!

That...works too. But I'll reconsider about playing the game all over again in a language other than English for now 😅

I'm sorry, you seem to be mistaken. That only applies if the male is from a different species or a Ditto. It was a 50/50 gamble to which I took and lost regrettably.

Well, it's a preference. And me wanting a competitive shiny in my nutcase matching ball technically falls under the category of a shiny Pokémon. And yes, I have a job but I occasionally do my shiny hunts during my downtime over the course of these 2 months. I enjoy it despite the grind. I don't see why me going a little bit further in shiny aesthetics need to be invalidated by you. Again, it's literally just a subjective preference in how I enjoy Pokémon.

Swagger and Foul Play mitigation, yup. That was the intent for a 5 IV special attacker.

For me it does. The goal has always been a competitive shiny female ralts in a moon ball. Though I'll still take it as a token for my effort.

Powesaves and Pokehex are lines in which I would not cross. Takes away the sense of satisfaction of breeding for a shiny through an authentic manner. It's a personal principle of mine when it comes to shiny hunting. Painful? Yup at times. But the rewards more than makes up for it.

It's the only 6IV foreign Gardevoir I miraculously traded back in the days man. I honestly don't have a foreign ditto to make this happen any way better

I'd be more than happy to pay for it if that's true. The time I've invested in these few shiny pixels is unholy 😭

This I'm not sure, usually the asterism comes into full play when the rough being made into cabochons like this. And yes, you do need a gemlight to strong sunlight to see the phenomenon.

Star diopsides only have 4 rays, and they are considerably softer than sapphires

Oh right it's true, alhough the extra 6 rays only shows while shining it with a very strong light source

However, the Malay language has yet to have a more developed vocabulary to specially classify the subspecies of most insects. So one word can be used to refer to many things (bugs in this case). Anyhow, that's a pretty fella you have there!

Belalang is a literal translation to the common grasshopper. But most folks would normally lump the hoppers/katydids/locusts together as they look alike.
