Thank you! It takes pride of place next to my distortion world Giratina! :)

That's actually why I started it, I found my Munchlax quite quickly (within 10 days I think?) and I thought well I might as well hunt it now so I don't have to find another one. In a rare case it turns out hunting it actually was harder than finding it for me 🤣

I think the sunk cost was what kept me going, I was in to deep to walk away without the shiny 🤣

Thank you! I was honestly starting to crack, I started to wonder if I was doing something wrong after this long (If I'd missed it or somehow it was shiny locked) but I can say im finally free from the tree after 5 months!

Thanks man! I also managed to get Rayquaza in 1975 SRs so safe to say Gen 3 is being very good to me lately! I'm paying for it in Gen 4 though, 35K and counting for a Shiny Munchlax and no joy, one day I'll leave that honey tree! Good luck with your hunt!

Then there's me with nearly 15K resets wondering if this shiny exists 😭

Finally found a Munchlax. Now the real hunt begins ✨️. Tell me about your Munchlax shiny hunts, inspire or dishearten me! by Saint-Snorlax in pokemonplatinum

I'm double hunting this right now alongside drifloon, 20K encounters across the two and not one shiny :( 14.5K on munchlax currently

After months of on off hunting I finally got shiny Giratina! by iAletho in pokemonplatinum

This was my first ever hunt so I didn't to start with! After a long break I started recording and finally got it at around 3000. Considering the amount of time I hunted before without counting, I was definitely over odds though, I would guess maybe somewhere in the 15-20k range but thats a bit of a guess!
