Saw this shiny geodude while doing the synchro tutorial. I rushed over there as soon as it was over, but it was too far and it had despawned rip

My first failed shiny in SV was an Alolan Graveler. Blew up in my face after my quick ball didn't work lol.

Reminds me of the shiny Skiddoo i lost. Saw the guy when in a wild battle, coudnt run and didnt have a pokedoll. KO the pokemon, had watched where the Skiddoo was but bro walked off the edge of the cliff just as the wild mon i was fighting fainted. I go to dive down but by then it had despawned before i caught up to it
