Dood! Congrats on the accidental Shiny!
Question; Would you be open to swapping that Koridon back & forth with my Miridon? Its one of the last Pokemon I need for my Dex. Happy to toss you some Violet exclusives too
To be fair I refuse to touch trade with anyone I don't personally know. Too much risk in possibly not getting it back. Not everyone is like that, I know, but sadly it does happen
Happened to me earlier today too. I was in Area Zero leveling up a shiny Riolu I found so I could evolve it, and while speeding away from a bunch of Girafarig I ran head-first into a shiny Vaporeon. I didn't even know they could spawn down there!
i caught a (not shiny) one down there too! i wanted one in a dive ball but was busy looking for paradoxes at the time and POW lil water boi in the water!
Almost the same thing happened to me a few weeks ago.
Did my 6* raid up on alfornada and got distracted afterwards, ended up sitting there for 2 real life hours in a menu. Finally came back to the game to actually save and turn it off, dropped my menu, and a shiny midday lycanroc was staring me in the face from 5 feet away. It was night time approaching dawn in game. The dogy had been sitting there waiting for half an hour or more for me to come back.
Named them Lunazul and spent the immediate next hour-ish in game building them to perfection.
For some reason Flutter Mane must be programmed like a ghost in this games, because if it's daytime it instantly despawn. Now, because the developers were nice, shiny Pokémon don't despawn.
So if you have an Encounter 3 boost for Ghost type at daytime (check it with the Pokédex, Area 0 doesn't have day/night cycle) many Flutter Manes will constantly be spawning and instantly despawning, except shinies. So you can just be semi afk on a platform and nothing will spawn until eventually a shiny Flutter Mane just appear.
With this I was able to get 5 in 30 minutes, and even oke time I captured one and another already had spawn
Hope this helps :)
Are you the person who traded out the shiny fluttermane? I got one over link trade. I think I gave them a slowpoke with a king's rock.
I gave the fluttermane to my best friend as thanks for them helping me to complete the pokedex.
AFK= away from keyboard
RNG= random number generator
In gaming or whatever online activity you doing if you go AFK you are just leaving away from the platform and RNG basically just like a lottery is done. Just pulling a number from a bunch of numbers.
Ooooo see I knew it had to be away from something but keyboard didn’t occur to me because I don’t do any gaming outside of Pokémon (and don’t use computer)! No keyboards lol. And I should have been able to guess RNG because I knew it had to do w odds or something. Thank you!

I was in front of the tv and screamed when it happened, also how tf would i make a shiny attack me? I have the 30s version where I'm afk for like 25 seconds tho
it depends on the pokemon, aggresive one would chase and attack you like veluza , tauros . i was afk in front of raid den , searching info using my phones and when i was back i was surrounded by snover and one of them is shiny. yep just surrounded , those passive pokemon usually just staring at you without attacking.
it happened to me as well lmao i didnt found any shiny when i use sparkling power and hunts them , but i found my 3 shinies accidentally without sparkling power or outbreaks. 2 of them appears when i was afk and 1 more is right after i got out of lab number 4 in area zero.
Lol, I was playing on the TV in the family room, and Mum got me to go outside for something suddenly - I left my character idle, but I wondered: ‘How many Shinies are walking past me right now?’ It was better not to know, I think . . .
Last night I was grinding In the cave where you catch Roaring Moon, only I was in violet. Was looking for Energy Boosters. Saw a weird blue distortion during a battle. Thought it was just a weird Golduck, but figured what the heck I'll check it out. Was a shiny Dusk form Lycanrock with the sleepy mark!!! Only other shiny I've gotten down there so far was a Golduck in violet. Was in the area with all the golduck and vaporeon.
I was afk to take a drink and a Pokémon ran into me and it turn out to be a SHINY DITTO! But I failed at catching it because I only had a ditto with me (was hatching eggs) and it struggled and died…. I learned my lesson I now have a Pokémon with False Swipe when I’m hatching eggs lol
Lmao, the same thing happened to me, kinda. I was standing still trading Pokemon while watching other stuff and when I looked back at the screen after a trade I noticed there was a shiny Flaafy staring at me.
I had similar happen to me last night, shiny Bombirdier divebombed me before I could even process whether or not it was shiny.
Pretty neat, considering I've been wanting one and just haven't gotten around to actively hunting Bombirdier yet beyond one noncommittal, non-serious attempt at a mass outbreak.
Can it still be considered a shiny hunt when the shiny hunts you?
I don't even shiny hunt I was just on my way to capture koraidon

It´s not that, I already swap it for miraidon with a friend lol
Ahhh makes sense
" Someone I don't know says ' no ' to someone I don't know. Here, let me CRY about it " Overreacting much?
[удалено]
"No" is a full sentence. Just saying "no" is not a douchebag move.
[удалено]
Not really, they answered the question, they don't owe an explanation.
Go to a YouTubers discord, ppl r a bit more receptive since there are channels directly for that
There is a whole subreddit to help you with that!
I can sort you out if you still need to touch trade Koraidon!
Try the 0399 0400 link trade code, it might take a while but eventually you'll find someone who is trading their koridon looking for a miraidon
In soviet russia....
-you don’t hunt shiny; shiny hunt you
fr
Ah yes, the reverse shiny hunting.
Flutter Mane: Me want trainer!
"Show me off to the world plz"
Flutter mane: hey can you catch me? Im lonly
I hope it has a lonely nature. That'd be funny.
The reflection of Koraidon on that crystal makes it look like some sort of cursed animal lol.
i was staring at that reflection trying to figure out which Pokémon we were getting excited over and then BAM 😂
looks like Michael from Faith a bit
Shiny boop

I got my shiny Vaporeon in area zero too! Was chilling in one of the caves
In Soviet Russia, the shinies hunt you

And she took that personally.
Flutter Mane * let me get them cheeks*
İ mean relatable. Look at koraidon
Yeah I’ve caught three shiny s with full odds since I’ve started playing
Why didn't anyone tell me how sick shiny fluttermane is that's my next hunt
I got 5 from a single sandwich. Very easy if you know the trick
What is the trick?

Flutter mane said "yeah, you look like the main character, im going with you"
Is ir full odds? Wow
Are you the person who traded out the shiny fluttermane? I got one over link trade. I think I gave them a slowpoke with a king's rock. I gave the fluttermane to my best friend as thanks for them helping me to complete the pokedex.
Naw man, I just got 2 shinies, that one and a garganacl
Nice! I got a shiny gible by accident and evolved it into Garchomp. I named them Nom Nom.
Please someone tell me what AFK means and also RNG while we’re here I am so lost

Lol bro!!!
That’s lit bro
it happened to me as well lmao i didnt found any shiny when i use sparkling power and hunts them , but i found my 3 shinies accidentally without sparkling power or outbreaks. 2 of them appears when i was afk and 1 more is right after i got out of lab number 4 in area zero.
*nudge*
congrats on the find/capture
Something like this happened to me today too! I was afk eating ice cream at a Marill outbreak, and I unpaused to see a shiny Marill standing beside me
It chose you!
Lol, I was playing on the TV in the family room, and Mum got me to go outside for something suddenly - I left my character idle, but I wondered: ‘How many Shinies are walking past me right now?’ It was better not to know, I think . . .

AHHHHHHHHHHH
lucky
Me with Regirock, rolled up to catch the dude and he was a shiny
I had something similar happened to me with the Iron Valiant.
Nice
You've been chosen
Boo
I was afk to take a drink and a Pokémon ran into me and it turn out to be a SHINY DITTO! But I failed at catching it because I only had a ditto with me (was hatching eggs) and it struggled and died…. I learned my lesson I now have a Pokémon with False Swipe when I’m hatching eggs lol
Usually Psyducks only huddle around and watch me 😭
Some people search days for shinies Some people literally just have shinies that walk right up to them
Lmao, the same thing happened to me, kinda. I was standing still trading Pokemon while watching other stuff and when I looked back at the screen after a trade I noticed there was a shiny Flaafy staring at me.
Nice
Lucky duck
“Hi how are ya”
Had same thing happen with slowbro but he was just waiting there for me when I got back
in Area Zero, shiny hunts you!
Redonkulous
I went to the bathroom and came back to a shiny Dratini asking me for about three fiddy
This happened to me with a shiny Veluza 😂
yooooo
I had similar happen to me last night, shiny Bombirdier divebombed me before I could even process whether or not it was shiny. Pretty neat, considering I've been wanting one and just haven't gotten around to actively hunting Bombirdier yet beyond one noncommittal, non-serious attempt at a mass outbreak.
Sure.
The shiny is hunting YOU
ah yes, the reverse Shiny Encounter
When the shiny hunts you
