>Do you like or care about shiny Pokémon?
Yes, I do.
>Do you think they're any valuable nowadays?
Ehhh. They've never really been valuable objectively but they've definitely diminished in value if you care about the rarity of them. I personally don't really care, I just like getting cool variations of my favourites.
>What do you think about shiny locks?
Not a fan. For uncatchable Pokémon like your first battle its a good thing, but I'm not fond of something like starters being locked.
>What methods do you prefer of hunting?
I liked SOS chaining a lot when that was a thing. Used to do Masuda Method a lot but in SV I just use level 2 encounter sandwiches and run around in fields.
>Do you catch them in fitting Poké Balls, and / or extend it to all Pokémon?
Only in specific cases (like pic rel) or if I have a fitting ball handy.
>Favorite and least favorite shinies?
Favourites: Koffing/Weezing, Ariados, Duskull, Spiritomb
Least Favourite: Hmm. Wyrdeer's is pretty bad. Ursaring too - I like some of the infamous green shinies but Ursarings just doesn't fit at all.
