    It doesn't appear shiny in the overworld, but will when the encounter begins.

    I really racked up during spring break when it comes to the evolution items. I have 2 of every item except for up-grade (I literally just go the up-grade item today on my 7 day streak spin) and I'm ready to evolve all of them with the evolution item (just waiting to do it when I can use a lucky egg for double xp) except for Porygon. Gonna have to start walking him to get the candies needed after I'm done with Chansey.

    Also, had a Pupitar run from me yesterday after the first throw, berry used, ultra ball, and got the "excellent" word to pop up. Needless to say I was a little upset.

    My Pinsir is a Snorlax killer, oddly enough.

    Don't be discouraged about the shinnies. It's not something everyone is supposed to catch. In the original games the chance she of getting shinnies was sooooooo low.

    So assuming that this weekend...

    I keep a Machamp in my team despite the fact that it's not one of my highest CPs solely for the job of taking out Blisseys when I hit a gym. He usually can't do it on his own, but he can do enough damage to make it considerably easier to take down.

    Did you ever watch the reaction videos? I used to get a kick out of how ridiculous people could be with those shinies.

    It would always be some kid with two or three gameboys just grinding for hours and hours by pressing the buttons over and over until he inevitably came across a shiny. Then they would scream and be out of breath from excitement and say something like "Shiny Blastoise! After only 16,342 encounters"

    Yeah I played a lot of hours in Gold and only ever found a shiny krabby that I accidentally killed and I actually found a shiny magikarp too despite having the free shiny gyarados.

    Just ran out of Pinap berries. Hopefully I encounter 15 more magikarp before this ends.

    This is turning into a crush video.

    I was way out of the Pokemon loop by the time shinies came around, so seeing that people bought handfuls of systems to play these games simultaneously was a shock to me. This game is a grind, but sitting there crushing a button over and over LITERALLY thousands of times....mind numbing.

    I caught a 165CP normal Magikarp and a 35CP shiny back to back just now. I want that red Gyarados, but damn. At that low of a level?

    Level 10 red gym by my house was taken down and became level 10 yellow overnight. God bless whoever did that. Got a decent spot.

    A Lapras literally spawned on top of the school at which I teach today. I opened my phone while walking outside during lunch time just to see if anything was around, and there it was. It's the first one I've ever found. Today was a good day.

    I just got in a level 9 gym today with 3 Blissey including mine at the top 3. Good luck taking that thing down. Mine is 2789 CP and has 390hp. Wild.

    The Curb Your Enthusiasm theme should play every time I walk 10k for a fucking Mantine.

    What sucks about Mantine is it has the moveset of a Pidgey. Smh.

    Mantines are cute; the Snorlax of the sea!!! Do they swim AND fly, or just fly?

    Is Dratini actually part of this event? I have not seen a single one this whole time, and I've even managed to catch a Lapras.

    With Pinnap berries, each Dratini you catch saves 35km of walking so...I would like to grab a few more.

    What are the odds of catching a shiny Magikarp? I caught like 75 so far and nothing.

    I caught 66 before catching my first.

    Got an upgrade for my 7 day but will never be able to evolve Porygon. COOL.
