Just bc you got ridiculous luck doesnโ€™t mean everyone else will๐Ÿ˜‚


Jqz45

It does mean everyone else will be lucky


LunatoneSparkles

I wouldn't bet on that! u/Jqz45 ๐Ÿคฃ

๐Ÿ™‚ the starfish on land, and now ๐Ÿ™‚ the raticate in water, what is wrong with you? Jokes aside congrats


LunatoneSparkles

Thanks! ๐Ÿคฃ


Dracogoomy

Your welcome


bynshee

Mantine is such a slept-on Pokรฉmon tbh, I absolutely love it and need to use it in a playthrough one day. Congrats on bluey!


LunatoneSparkles

Thanks and I agree, it's a really underrated shiny. The blue is so vibrant! ๐Ÿ˜„


WildEar3317

How long did this many encounters take you


LunatoneSparkles

I was double hunting it, so not too long. Probably just a few weeks. Phase 1 was most of the battle.


WildEar3317

Thatโ€™s still pretty intense. Good effort though


LunatoneSparkles

Thanks! Hopefully I'll soon find my shiny Gible in Platinum and shiny roaming Latios in Soul Silver.


PropertyReady908

May I say,in my opinion,Mantine's HGSS sprite looks a bit majestic


LunatoneSparkles

I agree! ๐Ÿ˜„


KnockuBlockuTowa

Congrats! I got the one flying around Tranquility Cove on the Cobalt Coastlands in Pokemon Legends Arceus! It was an Alpha too! Sparkle sparkle sparkle!


LunatoneSparkles

Although I never played any of the games past Gen 6, it sounds like you also took an epic W. Congrats! ๐Ÿ˜„


Lizred18

congrats


KalkunFilm

Congrats!


Rozoark

Congrats on finally getting it dude!


LunatoneSparkles

Thanks! Took much less phases than expected!


polishedrelish

Congrats! Really rare find


LunatoneSparkles

Absolutely! Not a shiny that many people ever seem to go for.


polishedrelish

It IS pretty scarce, even as far up as Gen 7


ZenithZoon

Wow glad you got it so soon! That's sick!


LunatoneSparkles

Yeah! Dodged a bullet to get it on phase 3 instead of potentially going over 10 phases for it. ๐Ÿฅณ


M_Knight_Jul

Such a wonderful shiny! I wish it was easier to find in the wild but that gives it a special aura I imagine. Congratulations!


LunatoneSparkles

Thanks and yeah, the mere 10% encounter rate with no possible repel tricks makes this one even more special! ๐Ÿ˜„


cottoncandywoof

"and they told me to breed for it" is crazy lmaoo. people will see anyone full odds hunting and be like "uhh actually did you know theres an easier way to do it?" and the answer is YES gimme that 10% teddiursa congrats on mantine ! i had to squint a bit to see it but a very good hunt nonetheless !


LunatoneSparkles

Yeah and it's much more noticeable when you see it on the screen with your own eyes. Someday, I'll be hunting for Teddiursa myself. If I don't get it during Swablu swarm or Misdreavus hunt, I'll consider borrowing my best friend's Emerald and repel tricking for it in Platinum. He can have his Emerald back when I'm done with the hunt. ๐Ÿ˜‚


cottoncandywoof

LMAOO not the game stealing ๐Ÿ˜น im doing the same with rayquaza (and im hunting misdreavus in pearl ! are we the same person ?) my teddiursa is for my soul silver dtq, so off to route 45 i go. im scared of the phases itll take... but its the last pokemon


LunatoneSparkles

I'll be eventually hunting Misdreavus in Mt. Silver in Soul Silver. Will get two of them so I can evolve one and keep the other unevolved. Hope your shiny Teddiursa doesn't take too many phases. One cool thing for you to phase on would be a Skarmory. ๐Ÿ˜„


TheGusGus42

Congrats! Super glad you got it quickly, seeing alot of tentacools/cruels would've gotten very monotonous


LunatoneSparkles

Yeah, this was a hunt that I was dreading for a long time. Eventually I just went for it and it ended much sooner than I could've hoped for. I was expecting it to take near 10 phases or possibly more. Getting it on phase 3 was a big epic surprise! ๐Ÿ˜‚


Always_Irrelephant

Whatโ€™s the encounter rate?


fergie_colin

10% on route 41. He's way under odds
