Still got that boy today. I will say one of my buddies from that party seems to be a good luck charm, as he has been around for two others encounters.

this story is fake, and I don't know why you bothered to post it. only event dens and online raids can end with the pokemon breaking out. haxorus has never been in the event den list, and you claimed using a wishing piece for haxorus.
I will permit maybe you joined a raid online, but in that case it was likely a hacked raid and you missed out on nothing.

This shit is fake as fuck. The host has a guaranteed 100% catch rate in raids unless they're event gmaxes.

He threw a wishing piece so it automatically saves. Too bad his story is bullshit.

Nope, if you're the host it's a 100% guaranteed catch rate regardless. The only exception to this is event raids, which haxorus hasn't been a part of. Also even if this story were true, he could have just soft reset since wishing pieces trigger a mandatory save.
>>42950311
What are you even trying to say? Haxorus had never been an event raid and thus has a 100% catch rate for the host.

Latias is not shiny locked I've done my research
>>42951139
I hunt while doing things that I have time to hunt during or instead of playing other games. For instance if i'm hanging out or talking with my family I just keep my hands running over the buttons, or recently while reading which is nice because I love books.

Not shiny locked, but if I recall correctly the latias is set when you start your game. So if it's not shiny first encounter, she'll never be.

This was way before I learned how Colosseum handles shinies. I still have it, too. Currently sitting in Y, and with the new moves Raikou is receiving and being able to change natures (it was Gentle), it's finally gonna be usable. And it only took 15 years since I caught it.

I just got the only shiny I've ever had in a surprise trade.
It's a level 100 magikarp with the hidden ability, max IVs, max HP/Attack EVs, and pokerus. It has a url as the trainer name that leads to some facebook contest to get a bunch of different pokemon via surprise trade.

It may have been an accident,because the colors are similar. However he may have done it as revenge since as a kid I accidentally deleted his Crystal file. In retrospective,his deed would be justified haha

My first shiny was a HootHoot on Silver. I didn't really realize what "shiny" was at the time, and I was playing on a monochrome screen (gameboy pocket) but he had the indicator next to his name and the animation with the swirling stars when he was sent into battle, so I used him because I thought it meant he was stronger. Took that weak bitch all the way to Mt. Silver with me, and had a lot of fun with him.
Never really used any other shinies for a long time after that, caught a few random ones here and there over the years, but kind of shitty shinies, didn't even save most of them.
Recently I was replaying HG and was planning on using all pokemon I'd never used before, but I encountered a shiny Zubat, and when checked, he had excellent IVs too, so I now have a shiny Crobat, though he's missing egg moves I'd like to give him.
I've never been a shiny hunter, so when I get my random shinies it's kind of nice to use them if they're fit to use.

I found a shiny Excadrill on Swishie-Swooshie, the overworld one in the Wild Area, was not even that excited because I thought it was a guaranteed one. Ofc it has shits IVs and Sand Rush (not bad but I prefer Mold Breaker) and Submission as Egg Move

I don't think you can get egg moves in the wild without the pokémon being a brilliant aura one (got two BA shinies myself). What IV's does it have?

Well, maybe I'm wrong, I just thought Submission was an Egg move since I don't remember Excadrill learns it via level-up.
About the IVs I don't remember, I'm at work now, so I can't check, but I read overworld unique mons have shitty IVs in general.
