~250-300 Feebas later, I finally find a shiny.


Now to capture it and stuff.
Whee.

Yaay! Shouldn't be hard.

It just became x-x'


The shiny called out another shiny.
Now there are TWO shinies.
I'm going to have to knock out one of them in order to catch the other, because the game doesn't let you try to catching a pokemon if there are two wild ones out at the same time.
I'm going to have to intentionally mangle a shiny.
This is so against everything I stand for I'm experiencing a slight crisis here.
(Or well, not really, but still. Feels awfully weird xP)

Oh I get that even though I never played Pokemon it's gonna be okay. Take a screenshot in memory of the second shiny that won't make it

I did. Going to make a post about this on Shinypokemon once I'm done with it.


Now, to decide who gets to live...
One is one level stronger than the other, but it's still entirely possible that the weaker one would have better individual stats or a more beneficial nature than the stronger one, but it's impossible to check those things without catching the creature.
The same is ofc also true in reverse.


...And knowing me and my usual luck right, the one I kill is most likely going to be the one that was the very best, like noone ever was x-x'

[HellEye]

It's gonna be okay, don't worry. The one you kill might have been better, but the other one is yours.

[Cheza]

143,678


That's true too.
Still really hard for me to decide tho, so I'm just going to ask this:


Should I catch the one on the left, or the one on the right? >->'

[HellEye]

143,679

I've got a feeling, the one on the right.

[Cheza]

There we go. Caught the one on the right.
Even got critical capture on it, so I also have a good feeling about this now too.


And turns out it was a great choice, as checking his stats shows he's got "outstanding potential", which is good.
Thanks for the help.
