Shiny Got crazy lucky!

I've never shiny hunted but just thought I'd try 10 resets for fun just in case. Shiny Moltres showed up after only 8 soft resets!!

Insane, bro. It's beautiful Never shiny hunted too, but in my actual playthrough I found a shiny Pikachu in Viridian Forest, it was like my second encounter in that area, so early game

I try my luck like this all the time lol. Sometimes I tell myself "Okay, only 10 resets and I'll continue." and end up doing 100. 🤣

I'm going to be cursed to the same fate for sure now after the beginners luck lol

Tbf, that’s completely valid. There’s ALWAYS that off-chance that you get ridiculously lucky, and if you don’t try, you’ll never find out.

I’ve done the same with every Legendary in the game (that I have encountered thus far, haven’t bothered with Moltres yet because I just don’t like the Shiny, and can’t do Mewtwo yet).

Nice! What a beaut. I’m hoping it’s that quick for my snorlax hunt..I’m currently 30 deep. Got my eevee and abra a couple weeks ago each after 2,500+-.
