Check out my shiny kids and their cute nicknames! (Click for captions)
I’ve been having some unusually good shiny luck with online raid dens in SWSH (that is, until yesterday’s update made refreshing the stamp refresh page impossible). It got to the point where chucking a Masterball at things made me start to feel guilty, so now my rule is I can only throw a Masterball at G-Max shinies since their catch rates are so low anyways. It feels more fun and satisfying when there’s a struggle! Plus it’s nice to be able to match Pokemon to specific pokeballs (like in Requium and Mango’s case). That being said, my heart was definitely pounding when I threw a Luxuryball at Muramasa, haha.
