Here’s a shiny Buizel that I drew after shiny hunting Buizel in Pokémon Scarlet. It was supposed to be a warmup doodle, but I spent more time on it than intended.
theres a bug apparently with the new postcard connect update, where if you connect your s/v game to pokemon go, there's a chance it could delete your entire save data! id suggest not using this feature until this is fixed!
ive seen some people say this is caused by closing your s/v game right after sending the postcard to the switch, whilst having autosave on, but we're not sure if that's actually it or not. either way, id suggest avoiding sending more postcards to your switch, and if you have already done so, leave your switch on to wait out the remainder of the 24 hours!
there's reports buying the dlc can also cause this, so maybe wait a bit to do that as well
EDIT: If you've bought the DLC, there is a constant chance of this happening to you. Right now, the suggested method of avoiding this is to NEVER CLOSE YOUR GAME. Meaning you are stuck in either Scarlet or Violet until a patch is released.
I'm currently unsure if this also applies to people who have connected their games to GO, but to be on the safe side I would suggest doing the same, because there's reports that at least one person who simply updated their game to the newest version (The one that added Walking Wake and Iron Leaves) also had this happen to them.
If we get anymore news on the bug being fixed, or if we know any other possible causes, I'll let you all know.
This one isn't particularly Halloween themed, but this hunt overtook my attention soon after I finished Lileep.
My friend's favorite Pokémon is Shaymin, and he started this run away hunt over a year ago to try to find it. We were under the impression that shiny charm affected this encounter, sadly however it turns out shiny charm is bugged in BDSP and it doesn't apply even though it should. After learning this was a 1/4096 hunt regardless of if I had charm, I decided to start up my first mythical hunt. I got super sick and was pretty much unable to do anything but sit on the couch and hunt, so I knocked out 3087 encounters in just over a week. Luckily the hedgehog sparkled under odds. I named them MichaelMyers to make them a little more Halloween.
You little trouble maker! Couldn't find a shiny without using sparkling power. I generally don't use it. But the game knew I had some herba mystica and decided to make hunting Rowlett difficult. I got 4 shinies for the full evolution line.
*Middle stage not posted because I forgot to take a pic.
it's been far too long since i've started (and actually finished) a gen 6 hunt. i feel like i have awful luck in this gen so getting this SUPER early was a nice surprise.
also... the dream ball with the HA... i feel so blessed?? there will be more to come hopefully ✌️i plan to post my future hunts here in this format as well!
This one was kind of a surprise. Did maybe 300-400 encounters last night, and I sat down to do a couple encounters while I waited to leave the house. First encounter I get this guy! Real dream shiny for me.
