Gaming Blog #4 Shiny Hunting - A Short Respite in the Rain

I'm still in cresselia shiny hunting hell, but I lost the Max Raid by mashing "B" and am having SO MUCH DIFFICULTY trying to find it again.

I took a break at the start of the month for the shiny Sliggo and Goomy outbreaks.

Also, did you know that Hisuian Sliggo moves by spinning like a wheel?

Also! Overworld rain in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is entirely random and there is no town or any way to force spawn it. The best advice I found was to literally fly across the entire map to look for rain.

Mind you: Just getting the ability to fly around Paldea is an entire DLC purchase and its story completion (Which I already own and completed but that's besides the point.)

I spent an nearly an hour looking for rain in Violet to evolve my two Sliggos. Had to give up and try another day. Worked out in the end since it was already raining when I loaded in the game!

Hisuian Goodra loses its animation to hide in its shell in ScarVio. A shame, because I spent a good minute standing next to my Goodra waiting for it to fall asleep.
