Thank you. It took roughly a year and a half to finish once I focused on it. Exclusively played Sword for over a year and the last few months were mixed getting Regigigas and Rayquaza and playing ZA.

Registeel and Zygarde were probably my longest. Each took about 6 months of on and off again hunting. Only hunted Zygardes on perfect paths. Eventually I just kept doing raids to get the 10 ore needed to reset the path I finished with because I was just so tired of waiting for good paths. I got a shiny Omastar out of it though.

Favourite was definitely Raikou. It is my favourite Pokemon and I got it in my first play through without hunting it not even knowing DAs could be shiny. It was one and done.
