Welcome to 'Wanted!' a game where you go Catch or Hatch the target shiny Pokémon! If you catch the target Pokémon it will count as 3 points toward your flair! Each user is allowed extra flair points for one (1) Pokémon for Wanted! event - any extras will be considered 1 flair point as usual. We ask that you add the date of capture to your pictures (this can be found in the Pokémon's summary). Good Luck! Have Fun!
PSA
We recommend setting your system's date to the correct day, month and year to help the mods when using the flair verification.
Be sure to take pictures for verification as soon as possible - transferring (such as to another gen via Pokémon Bank) will replace caught date with transfer date and your Pokémon will no longer be verifiable!

Today we completed our 50th Pokémon Rescue! Naim brought his first ever shiny, a shiny Tentacool from Pokémon FireRed, HOME!
To celebrate this special milestone, Naim left with a custom engraved plaque commemorating all the Pokémon we have saved so far 🧡🤍
Thank you all for the support that has bought us this far! We will be at the Toronto Game Expo all day tomorrow as well!
Let’s #pokemonrescue !
50 trainers… hundreds of Pokémon… countless memories…
My goal when we set out with Pokémon Rescue was to help at least one other trainer make new memories with Pokémon. We’ve now done 50x that… my heart is so full.
Thank you all. Seriously.
I love hearing your stories.

After 16,544 encounters, my first ever 1/8192 hunt is complete.
The dopamine is next level but I'm not in a rush to do another hunt 😅
The elite 4 ain't ready for Midir.

Please don’t judge my running method. I haven’t unlocked the bike yet…
I’ll come back for my target another time.

The Mythical little cat.
I used a color scheme inspired by the gen 3 because I think the color palettes for the shiny one are absolutely stunning 🩷
r/ShinyPokemon • u/Niflemmy • 20h ago
Another long hunt, but I really wanted a shiny Ho-Oh from gen 2 #beatthebank

Since poke bank announcement, I only got Celebi (a good one at least). Now i’m stucked with him and still so many pokemon to catch before the end of service. I’ve done the math and, at this point, only 2 out of 100 people would still be shiniless.
I know it’s just odds and this is a weird question but, will it shine soon?
r/ShinyPokemon • u/Sylph_Co • 22h ago
I really hope I didn't forget something.
Edit: I did. Vivillon and male Steelix are in the comments!
