Mark my words!!! It's on!!!😎

[@ShinyBuzzwole]

I was pretty excited when I saw it, yes! I just sat there in disbelief... "C-curry shiny Abomasnow! _Curry shiny Abomasnow!"_ That was a good day. And thank you, that means a lot! Challenge accepted. I fully believe you'll get your curry shiny before me, knowing my luck, haha!

That moment of realization, shock, disbelief, and relief is something very rare to find in life, much less in a video game. And you better not be complimenting my luck!! I have only ever had one wild shiny hunt go under 1000 encounters, and all of those unlucky hunts are with freaking charm odds!! Together, we create an unstoppable force of unluckiness!!! From this moment until i have my curry shiny, whenever I'm not busy, I will be huddled over my Nintendo Switch Lite in my office spamming A, ZR, and LR to fan the flames of war!!! We're on!!!

[@ShinyBuzzwole]

Hello!

[@PotatoPlaysThePotatoQueen]

14 THOUSAND CURRIES!?! Oh my god

[@crowgod4833]

I must ask, what curry making strategy were you using cause ive been considering doing a curry hunt

[@ShinyBuzzwole]

If you want a full guide on how to curry hunt, there is a video by JFlash727 linked in the description; but the method in which I made curry was as follows: I used a boiled egg and 10 oran/pecha/cheri/chesto berries (10 of the same kind) in the curry. I then shook my controller (Joy-Cons in the grip) to fan the flames until they were large enough, but not burning the curry. You can also mash A, ZL and ZR to do this. To stir, I simply turned the directional stick until a lot of sparkles arose from the curry, but not spilling - finally, I made the heart enter the small inner green circle. This usually makes Copperajah class curries, with an estimated 1/5 chance to spawn a pokémon.

[@deltwo6179]

Enough about the abomasnow I wanna pay some attention to one of my favorite shinies ever that was just chilling in the back. Shiny tyrantrum is soooooo good the blue, gray, and white go so well together, but even tho shiny abomasnow isnt one of my personal favorites I still appreciate how much sheer freaking willpower went into getting this curry shiny!
