>>34572596Ever since starting pokemon, I never used repels on principle in an attempt to increase my odds of finding a shiny, but it still never happened. The same was true of Soul Silver. I've done everything besides catch legendaries by this point and I was chasing Latios in Kanto, when the map said it was on the route between cycling road and Celadon City. The only way I would find to get to grass was a patch of grass behind cut. I go in the grass and...
"...That's not a Latios."
I was both relieved to finally have a shiny to my name and confused as to why it had to be a Muk of all things.
