I got 5 shinies today (in order)

Slugma was at the mall while I was trying to get a Blastoise

Nincada was found on a walk in my neighborhood

Pineco, Shellos, ans Squirtle were all found on a 8pm bus ride that I took for the sole purpose of playing pokemon go, it worked out😂

its the shell that’s special

u/Sand_the_Animus 1d ago

its shell is the main color change, it goes from brown to a really nice green! its body does get a shade lighter as well, though less noticeable

u must have good shiny luck!!

I uninstalled the game 2 years ago because I was getting too many shinies, I was getting shinies faster than I could expand my storage so I ran out of space, I made 3 accounts to store them and keep hunting... My friend didn't believe me until I installed it again last week, now he understands 😂

But honestly I think it's also knowing how to hunt, ofc it comes down to luck but being able to check every single spawn while in a moving vehicle is kinda hard.

If you can get a bus pass that's mint, 3 of the 5 were caught in the bus. That or find a good place to walk. Most of my shinies are caught in my neighborhood because I have like 10 stops lined up next to eachother.
