When you find a Shiny BEFORE you can buy Pokeballs

[@gooeyking]

This has happened to me only once before, literally the first pidgey i ran into after walking into the grass was a shiny. I was so mad I literally didnt play any pokemon games for 7 years after that

[@OliverMKP]

7 years tho👀

[@gooeyking]

@@OliverMKP yeah i literally only just started getting back into pokemon a few months ago lol

[@Olig1]

Congrats on finally finding something during this hunt, even it is uncatchable. Hope the next shiny is Manaphy or at least something you can keep!

[@OliverMKP]

Thanks so much Olig! Definitely very happy with this find, it was great to see some sparkles after all this time hunting. Best of luck on your hunts as well!

[@bluechromed177]

Congrats on your first shiny on the Manaphy hunt Oliver!! One of the few to get to add an uncatchable Pidgey to their memories as well. Now that you have Pidgey, it’s time for Manaphy to shine!

[@OliverMKP]

Thank you so much for the congrats Blue!! Honestly really happy we were able to witness this, any kind of shiny sparkles during the Manaphy hunt is pretty much a bonus to the whole experience. Cheers man!

[@SpeedTwister96]

I see Muzzys Pidgey visited you during the manaphy hunt Gladge

[@OliverMKP]

Little bird is making quite the round haha

[@LotusAllDay]

Congrats again, bro! At least the kick-off to an awesome shinyhunt... Best of luck on the next phases... The one you will have on Cyndaquill, before getting Manaphy naughty AND shiny XD

[@OliverMKP]

Sounds like a good plan, we take a shiny Cyndaquil before naughty & shiny Manaphy! ;) Thanks for the congrats Loturzel!

[@rotaugenandi]

Next one will be catchable But wasn't it funny that we talked about Failing shinys in stream earlyer

[@OliverMKP]

Sometimes the games really seem to listen to us haha! Thanks Andi!

[@thealmightyduck335]

I'm happy for you that you finally got something to shine during your Manaphy hunt, but oh god the pain.... THE PAAAAIIIIIIN......

[@movieless]

Same thing happened to me somewhat recently! Got a shiny torchic under 500 resets and two encounters after getting it I got an uncatchable zizagoon

[@OliverMKP]

That is some incredible luck man! Finding two shinies within less than 5 encounters, pretty crazy!

[@ConnorCro]

Reminds me of when I first downloaded pokemon crystal on the 3ds eshop day 1 of launch and ii got shiny sentret as my first encounter before pokeballs and I lowkey didn't touch the game after for like 2 weeks xD

[@brokenwing1391]

FYI, uncatcable week is in March, not February XD. well gg i guess. next one gonna be manaphy

[@abritishjockey1371]

I also experienced that in Pokemon fire red 😵, when I was walking in viridian forest I found shiny weedle but I don't have any pokeballs 😭

[@Cabbage61]

rip, hoping manaphy is quick and next!!

[@OliverMKP]

Thank you Cabbage! Can't wait to see it!

[@erster16]

Well nothing for it - but hyped we go to see a 1/8k shiny today and for sure the next one will be catchable OR the Manaphy!! :D

[@OliverMKP]

Heck yeah! Very excited to find out what else we'll discover during this journey for the Johto Manaphy. Let's discover it all together!

[@kazmarudo]

Let's go! Love the title lol

[@OliverMKP]

Thanks man haha!

[@DGTZ1982]

Still nice to see a shiny I guess lol, a similar thing happened to me, I found a shiny Hoothoot in gen 2 before I had any pokeballs.

[@lekanraposte6732]

It could be worst. The 'mon that the prof present you in the intro could be shiny as well as Wally's Raltz when you show him how to catch a 'mon.

[@LuckySparkles]

Hard lines that it wasn't catchable, but still a cool find. :)

[@prestostorm2876]

Wurmple was my first shiny fail in Ruby. I was on my way to meet my rival.

[@OliverMKP]

Thats crazy man! You know how it feels, cheers dude!

[@Testostyronne]

Next up: Unhatchable Shiny Manaphy 😳

[@OliverMKP]

LMAO🥚✖️

[@shad0w275]

Glad I was there! Hopefully the next shiny is the manaphy ;)

[@OliverMKP]

Would be so sick to see! Also was cool to have you in there for this moment man!

[@matt2d2007]

My fear.....

[@jakob9233]

this jsut happened to me with a pidgy

[@ohare892]

this happened to me but ledyba

[@ltstru3dirtymon3y88]

You a grown ass man jumping up and down over digital sparkles

[@OliverMKP]

You are right, I am having fun with a hobby. :)

[@CodPatrol]

@@OliverMKP good answer

[@a.9589]

same happened to me on pokemmo

[@bada9862]

[@3EyesPurpleCat]

Damm...it must suck to be you by getting a shiny you cant catch.

[@erster16]

If you hunt, you get shinies. Those you catch and those you can not. Any shiny is something you can be happy and proud of so maybe you should check your opinion and keep it to yourself if you don't have anything nice to say.

[@3EyesPurpleCat]

@@erster16 I didnt said anything bad it sucks to get uncatchable shiny just like it must suck to fail,great that either havent happened to me.
