I might get more of these in the future so I might as well start numbering them. I managed to get a few more over the last few months and since I had nothing else to talk about, I figured I might as well give them a chance to shine. I will not be taking that pun back, just roll with it. Anyway, onto the next group.
So you might remember that gold Steelix at the end of the second post I did about shalphas. If not, just remember that golden colors look cool. Especially if the Pokémon is a shalpha. So imagine my surprise to find that the next day, I would run into another shalpha in the same area. Shiny Golem doesn’t have a metallic sheen like Steelix, but it still looks very nice. However, it seems that I might never get my original target shalpha at this rate. I have been going for that Luxray whenever I can to no avail. Oh well, can’t complain about a cool shalpha Pokémon.
Now this one is a bit interesting. You might see the picture below and think that I got a third yellow-colored shalpha Pokémon in the same area. That is not the case. This Mismagius was a bit of an accident. You see, a while back I had gotten careless when shiny hunting in this game and so I ended up failing some easy shiny Pokémon. One of these failures was a shiny Misdreavus. Now, I already had one, but I wanted a second one for its evolution Mismagius. So at one point in the Alabaster Icelands, there was a Misdreavus outbreak that was guaranteed to have a second wave. I thought it couldn’t hurt to try. So after catching all the Misdreavus with no luck, I found out the second phase was for alpha Mismagius. And the shalpha was the second one to spawn in. All that because I couldn’t catch a second Misdreavus. Still pretty cool though.
I did something kind of stupid. Now I had this idea a while back to have all of my Pokémon be shiny alpha Pokémon and have them be the same as my current team. Unfortunately, it wasn’t going so well with Luxray and I was getting impatient. So when I found a Staravia outbreak with a guaranteed second wave of alpha Staraptors, I decided to try doing the permutation method again. I would like to say that this wasn’t incredibly tedious to hunt. That would make me a liar. It took about forty permutations for one to finally shine. Thank goodness too, because if I had done all that for nothing, then I might have stopped playing altogether. What’s funny is the game seemed to have felt my suffering, so it gave me two of them. I guess that made it worth my time.
Alright, now this one was out of nowhere. Once again it is not the Luxray, but this was one of the shalphas I was hoping to get from this area. One day I was on the train and I was trying out a few runs to see if I could get something cool. Now I don’t know why I thought this would be a good idea since I couldn’t really hear the game and so I couldn’t notice the shiny sound. However, I thankfully have decent enough eyes to notice when the shalpha Clefable finally has green ears. I finally managed to acquire another shalpha from the same line as another. If I couldn’t get Luxray, I’m glad I got this at least.
This is the first time I have managed to get a static shalpha spawn in this area. I was surprised at how easy it was to notice. The blue on it really pops out at you. I ran into Shalpha Abomasnow while I was cruising back after checking an outbreak. This is why you always double-check the area before you leave. I wouldn’t say it is the one I want the most, but it is definitely a cool find. That brings us to the end of this batch.
I hope you enjoyed checking them out. Hopefully, I can get more of these sometime in the future. I probably will lay off permutations though. Those can get a bit draining. Have a good night!
