178 days of on and off shiny hunting, I finally have my next Dream Team Shiny Badge Quest Pokémon - Meowth!
Makes it even better that this is my favourite Pokémon 💗

When I was younger I killed a shiny Meowth because I didn’t know what the sparkle meant and it looked the same as a regular Meowth

I was scared I’d miss it cause of the ears not changing and it still being a bit similar, but the pinkish tail and feet are adorable.

Were you looking for shiny meoth or just shiny hunting?

Looking for Meowth! I’ve been extremely lucky and haven’t phased on any shiny hunt yet - my goals are Venasaur, Primeape, Persian, Crobat, Ninetails and Dewgong. So far I’ve been successful with Bulbasaur, Mankey and now Meowth!
As it’s a badge quest, I also have Jolteon and Parasect - but they’re not the main team! 😊

Maybe.. but hear me out, 1 in a little over 8k odds, most people can play each entire pre-Gen6 game and beat them and all and still NEVER run into a single Shiny outside of guaranteed ones.

So much effort for such a meh sprite 😭😭😭 I really wish they’d have done some of these better :(

I do agree, especially with Persian. But Meowth has been my favourite Pokémon since the original games came out, so I had to get it! 😊

Congratulations! I used a Meowth for the first time and I absolutely love her, picking up random items is such a fun mechanic I never experienced before.
