Bit rude but fair enough I suppose.

@Fizza I'm having a lot of fun with them too, I actually got my third shiny this game (if you count ponyta) the second being burmy, I was fighting a whole bunch or Ursaring and a shiny was close enough too join the battle lol.

@FroZtedFlakerZz Hang on just a second! You managed to get a shiny BURMY?! You can only get them from trees! You're probably luckier than everyone else here if you actually have it. Do you have a picture of it by chance?

@Pizzamorg could you please remove the profanity from your other post? If I do it myself then the entire post goes down, so I’d rather just ask you.

@Fizza Really? Burmy's such a low tier pokemon I didn't think it was any good, I don't know much about the odds though, it's the sand/rock looking burmy, but shiny. (I would throw in a picture but I'm at school and don't quite know how lol).

Edit: It doesn't look that different from actual Burmy though, wouldn't have known had I not seen the sparkly star symbols after I hit the tree

Genuine apology there, completely missed that, didn't realise the profanity filter doesn't catch that word. I'll know for future so I can avoid it. Thanks for the heads up.

@FroZtedFlakerZz It may not be a good shiny, but a rare shiny can be just as special! Also, do you know if it's male or female? Shiny Mothim is fantastic.

@Fizza No I can't remember, I'll be sure to let you know though. I'd much rather the Mothim than Wormadam, I think Burmy is currently rotting away in a box though. Would you recommend evolving it or keeping it as a burmy?

@FroZtedFlakerZz It would be cool to keep as a Burmy in my opinion to show that you did, in fact, get a shiny Burmy when it can only spawn in trees. Mothims can be found in the overworld so they're not too difficult to find if you're looking to get a shiny one of those and I wouldn't bother evolving it into a Wormadam since it's shiny, like Burmy's, isn't very good at all.

These are just my suggestions though, I'm going for a shiny of every regular Pokemon in PLA so I envy you getting one of the shinies that I am going to struggle with without even trying.

@Fizza Yeah that's about what I was thinking about Burmy, from what you've said it sounds like a nice shiny to have. Good luck with the Great Shiny Heist though, I don't know if I could do that so I salute your bravery.

@FroZtedFlakerZz I'm 13 shinies deep, I can't back out now.

Just beat the main part of the new Daybreak quest. What a lovely bookend to a fantastic game. Can't wait to hunt for the starters and alphas!

(also, the last bit where they ask you about the future and you reply with either gyms or contests is amazing)

Just beat God (Arceus) at last.
Oh my god dude what a fight. It was fast-paced and exhilarating the entire time, the music getting faster and faster after each phase was amazing and it was actually bloody difficult (I died 4 times before finally getting him). Loved this fight, loved this game, bring on SV baby! (oh and I found both a shiny Yanma and a shiny Snover as well beforehand which was incredible)

Yep, I'm well on my way to finish the pokedex, just don't want to have to catch spirit tomb, ugh!

Oh and I actually found two shiny's yesterday.

@Snatcher You can get it through the new raids I think. I've seen reports of people with it, without actually having the wisps.

@VoidofLight omg thank you, if there is a chance, I will take it. Guess it’s time to activate the quest.

Finally got my first (random) shiny...and two in one sitting, at that! I imagine the shiny encounter rates are massively boosted in massive mass outbreaks.

They're Quilava and Magmar so I guess that's halfway to a team of shiny fire types...

From what I hear, Massive outbreaks aren’t quite as generous as regular ones when it comes to shinies. Still good, but not as good.

So you got a lucky pair right there!

@Eel
me with my 6 new shinies from MMO's

Does anyone have any tips for that post-game battle? I've beaten Volo a few times but he manages to OHKO most of my Pokémon in the process by not giving me a chance to switch out when he sends something in (a rather frustrating consequence of this game's speed system), which makes fighting Giratina very difficult.

(I dunno what's wrong with the spoiler tags there)
