Pokemon Shield Shiny Quest

  I deleted my save on Shield and downloaded Pokemon Sword because that was the game I wanted to start with. I just got eager to play Shield because of its exclusive... but that's a moot point. I decide to show off my highlights of my avatar, C.J., in Pokemon Sword. (Named after my nickname.) I completed decimated Milo with a Gigantimax Butterfree which I caught. It was a 1-star raid so I was surprised to catch it. On the other hand, I failed to snag a Gigantimax Sandicobra, which had a better catch rate. It was 3-stars, though, so I am not angry. I know the Gigantimax forms have a worse catch rate due to their power, so it's not a stink in the coffee for me. I later caught the event Gigantimax Drednaw at a 2-star raid. Yeah, the Max Raids were dragging me into a spiral of decadence. LOLZ.

This blog is no longer a blog for trophy hunting, but for Shiny Hunting! With Pokemon Sword and Shield out as of this writing(at least in some places), I  was isnpired by AbsolBlogsPokemon's shiny quests for Pokemon Let's Go and Pokemon Ultra Sun and decided to do the same thing for my first playthrough of Pokemon Shield. Fame Greek decided to cold-clock us and shiny-lock the starters so they don't have shiny forms, but I wanted to try my best to get a great team of alternate-colored Pokemon. Wish me luck!
