Alright, let’s talk about my recent adventure with shiny hunting, specifically for that adorable little duck, Quaxly. You know, I’ve been a huge Pokémon fan for years, and shiny hunting has always been my favorite thing. So, I got it in my head that I absolutely needed a shiny Quaxly for my team.
I started by doing some research. Read up on all the different methods, checked out what other players were doing, that sort of stuff. Some folks love the Masuda Method, some swear by soft resetting, it’s a whole world of shiny hunting strategies out there. I decided to combine a few methods to boost my chances. I’m not exactly known for my patience, so I needed every advantage I could get!
First thing I did was get my hands on a foreign Ditto. You know, for that sweet, sweet Masuda Method boost. Then, I made sure I had the Shiny Charm – gotta maximize those odds, right? With those in place, I started breeding Quaxly like there was no tomorrow.
- Get a Foreign Ditto: I spent hours finding a foreign Ditto from trades.
- Obtain the Shiny Charm: I completed my Pokédex and got the Shiny Charm.
- Start Breeding: I put the foreign Ditto and a Quaxly in the daycare and started collecting eggs.
Boxes and boxes of Quaxly later, I still hadn’t seen that beautiful shiny sprite. I’m not gonna lie, it was getting a bit discouraging. I even started questioning my life choices, spending hours hatching eggs in a video game. But I’m not one to give up easily, so I kept at it.
To keep things interesting, I started doing some soft resets while hatching eggs. Figured it couldn’t hurt to double up on methods, right? So, I’d hatch a batch of eggs, save in front of the starter selection, and then reset if none of them were shiny. It was a grind, but I was determined.
- Hatch Eggs: I kept hatching eggs from the daycare, running around in circles to speed up the process.
- Soft Reset: Every few batches, I’d save the game and soft reset, hoping to catch a shiny on the starter selection screen.
- Repeat: I repeated this process, trying to maintain my sanity.
And then, it finally happened. After what felt like an eternity, a glorious shiny Quaxly hatched from one of my eggs. The feeling was incredible! All that hard work, all those hours, it all paid off in that single moment. I was so happy. I immediately added it to my team and started showing it off to everyone.
So, yeah, that’s my shiny Quaxly story. It was a long and sometimes frustrating journey, but totally worth it in the end. If you’re thinking about getting into shiny hunting, be prepared for a grind, but also be prepared for that amazing feeling when you finally find that shiny Pokémon you’ve been searching for. It is a great moment. Just remember to stay patient, use multiple methods if you can, and don’t give up!

That’s all from me for now. Happy hunting, everyone! Hope this is useful for you.
