#ranch week

I was resetting to try and start a pokeradar chain for Togepi during ranch week and found this on the first encounter of the chain!!!

I named it Wingding (which can also mean celebration ?) because I submitted my graduate application minutes before this encounter (and token wing name for bird), so this shiny feels like a celebration of my first steps towards going back to school :,)

I feel like it's a little silly to be so happy about something like this, but I think it's because it's something that shows tangible connection to the shiny hunting community, which I still struggle with entering (in terms of interacting with other hunters) bc of my social anxiety :,) it makes me feel a little less lonely in that sense

and here's a google sheets version (make a copy for easier filter use):

Didn't manage to find it yesterday before the end of Ranch Week, but I kept going with the hunt today and (after failing ANOTHER shiny, a Togepi that used Double-Edge when it had one hp left) finally found it :D I named him Miracle to denote my happiness that I was able to reclaim the shiny so quickly
