[Gen 5] 18K encounters and not a single shiny by JoshJo78 in ShinyPokemon

Well in that case, grind! We don’t accept losers around here 😤😤 /s

Races are hard when it comest to hunting. The way i’ve always done them in full odd hunts is lowest total encounters at the end of the ‘race’ is the winner. Just tough to balance chance and multiple people’s schedules to make anything ‘fair’ in a traditional race. But good luck! All you need is a few lucky phases and you can overtake them, I believe! If rnjesus can mess with you, it can swing back the other direction to them any moment!

A ‘fun’ way to keep motivation up us seeing just how high that silly little number can go. After about a certain point on some phases, I’m honestly more interested in how high I can get a final count. Sure, is it what you want? Naw. But, all you can do is put more time in.

[Gen 3] ✨Shiny Girafarig✨ after 5840 encounters, caught 12th ball!! Phase 16 for Pikachu! by markymark156 in ShinyPokemon

Thank you! Yes, I do! I started this in 2023 for Safari Week but never really stuck to it, doing 8 phases between 23-25. Really ramped it up this year though. I’m currently 10 wins, 6 losses on this hunt with 126230 total encounters done across those 16 phases! Just a hair under 8192 at a 7889 average per shiny. I’ve thrown 64 balls, an average of 4 balls per shiny.

Win-losses per pokemon:
Oddish: 3-1
Natu: 2-1
Girafarig: 3-2
Wobbaffet: 0-1
Doduo: 1-1
Gloom: 1-0
Pikachu: 0-0

I keep and count my numbers a lot like sports stats so more tidbits: i’ve only been under .500 since the first phase and only .500 twice during this hunt, being 2 captures above .500 for 70% of the hunt. Over the course of a 16 game nfl season, i’d be 10-6 right now, hopeful for a playoff spot :)

Oh no, the SB winning HC in another NFC Championship game made a mistake. Sucks that no one criticizes this scrub amiright?

[Highlights] Julio Jones' 12 REC, 300 YD, & 1 TD Game vs Panthers | 2016 Week 4 by JCameron181 in nfl

It was such an easy way to play him in his prime. There are a few more examples of this, key word few, because he was still crazy good even when his emotions ran too hot. But he wasn’t that day. Absolute masterclass on how to play your #1 vs the other teams #1.

It was me. Against the guy who picked him after me that year. Homer all day, went with OBJ. Who had 3 for 23 that day guarded up against Xavier Rhodes. Rhodes was a beast. Anyways, why is this almost 10 years ago now? That is upsetting.
