I made a topic a few months ago that ended up purging a few weeks back, but I was shiny hunting for Celebi in Pokmon Crystal on 3DS VC.

I wasnt keeping track on how many tries it took me, but for several weeks I was doing a few hours each day on most days.

id mostly taken a break the last few weeks but today Im picked it up and only did like 5-10 encounters before it finally popped up

I was nervous in trying to catch it, afraid I would accidentally KO it. But my Bellsprout ended up wittling it down to yellow health and I nabbed it with an ultra ball

i know at least one other CEman was shiny hunting, hopefully hes making some progress!!

You didn't go insane first so I have to apologize for my initial reaction when you first began the hunt. Congrats!

Did you freak out like that guy who found the shiny Ponyta?

Congrats, I just got a shiny Zangoose in Pokemon ruby today after 8655 encounters, was hunting for Swablu but it's a nice shiny still and only game you can catch it in as far as gen 3 goes. Back to the hunt for Swablu though.

This is a signature to draw attention away from the fact that I don't have a signature.

You actually got it?! That's awesome!

I posted in another thread about you asking if anyone knew if you ever got it, but I didn't get any response. I'm really glad for you!

Almost. But I'm glad you're still sane and also glad you got your white whale.

Virtual Console games have save states right? So even if you failed to catch it you could've tried again

i dont think so, or at least if it did have this, I wasnt aware lol

otherwise I would have used a save state right at the moment before the battle started instead of soft resetting each time

Nice! Keep that baby safe. By the way, if you transfer it to Pokemon Home to then move it to a gen 8 or 9 game, it's guaranteed to have 5 perfect IV's.

I believe the feature is there for most games but they disabled it for Pokemon games specifically.

Doesn't work with the Pokemon games.
