That horrifying realization followed by panicked blocking when you find out you followed a shiny hunter

shiny hunters are ok even if i think they’re weird for caring so much about pokémon color. the main problem is that like 60% (don’t quote me) of shiny hunters eventually turn to shiny breeding for prestige or collecting purposes

So, this is from many years ago, when I first moved to Galar, and only had Azur. We saw some Wooloo for the first time and decided to stop by and watch.

Yeah, it didn't end well.

IT HATCHED THE SURSKIT HATCHED—

HI LITTLE GUY!!! Welcome to the world,,,

It's shiny too like wth— did anon know?? Ack. The heat wave in Paldea is still going strong so I've turned the bathroom of my dorm into a little surskit-zone with a humidifier and cool air so it doesn't overheat or dehydrate.

It is also REALLY small. Surskit aren't normally the size of my hand?? Why is it so small... what do I feed you? I think nectar for now that's what sligoogle says but I'm trying to get a vet appointment for this lil guy,,

I've named her jellybean,,,

MERSKELES PART 3!

Definitely not mermay anymore but here's the last 3 sirens I wanted to do

and some explanation on why I choose what I did under the cut

(little warning for parasites on fresh's section)

So from left to right

Dream is a golden colored koi carp fish, I picked it because they are very pretty and they represent a lot of positive things like luck and fortune, some people even wish on them to make their dreams come true :> I also thought of the legend where a golden koi fish climbs a large waterfall to turn into a dragon, so they have some mythical legends as well. In terms of the actual fish, Koi are very sociable and sturdy, they also live for quite awhile.

Nightmare is a coelacanth, he should probably be an octopus considering he has tentacles, but I really wanted to make him a coelacanth because I think they are neat. Coelacanth's are very old with the latest fossils being over 400 million years old, they were thought to be extinct until one was found in 1938, grandpa nightmare. They are also nocturnal, sleeping in caves during the day, they live deep in the ocean as well. 

Fresh is actually a two in one, he is a rainbow parrotfish with a tongue-eating louse in his mouth. Out of alI the bright fish I did a parrotfish because I really like their gradients, and I think the magenta fins fit his jacket. He's a parasite inside of a Sans body, so I picked a fish parasite to go along with the fish half of his body. I chose the tongue-eating louse, a type of parasite that replaces a fish's tongue. It first severs the blood vessels to the tongue and once it falls off takes its place. feeding on nutrients and acting as a new tongue for the rest of the fish's life, very cool and terrifying.

i recently caught a shiny ekans in the wild! i’ve kept snake pokémon for years so i’m prepared to care for him and the little guy has passed a health checkup, but i wanted to ask if shiny ekans is one of those that has special health concerns related to their shininess since google is only wanting to tell me about how terrible the spidops morph is.

your main concern is going to be scale condition for this little guy. there's some evidence that the shiny gene can cause brittle scales, leading to scales breaking off or infections taking root. you're going to really have to manage humidity well and monitor sheds to make sure this baby sheds properly and doesn't get stuck shed! definitely keep some shed-ease and vetericyn on hand.

watch out for light sensitivity as well. there aren't any definitive studies on this, but it's been proposed that the lack of melanin and excess of yellow pigmentation could make an ekans more sensitive to harsh light.

Grace and Shark have welcomed their new litter of eevee! These three little ones hatched just this afternoon! The shiny is male, and the two beside him are both female!

Thank you to my niece Leslie and my lovely husband Norman for helping me get this sweet sibling photo!

I just want to let the Paldean government know: this isn't my fault. It was a mystery trade

[realpokemon]

are shinies safe in the wild? i'm sure being a different color would be bad for camouflage.

yeah shiny pokémon tend to have a much higher mortality rate. not so much the color difference, more often the sparkle they give off. plus sometimes people poach them for food. i don't even think they taste any different
