after a very long period of time with no updates (oh my god my last one was 7 months ago)... i can finally say...

my alpha sapphire badge quest is COMPLETE!!

i just caught my 13th and final target for this playthrough!!! pog coffee the shiny regirock was pretty shy but decided to show their face on my 6917th reset!!!

this hunt was so crazy?!?! i did 2 other full-odds shiny hunts during this badge quest (anorith and mudkip) and both of those showed up in the 1000s, but of course regirock had to be special. when i went over-odds (they're 1/4092 for oras) i was just like. wow. that's wild. and promptly wandered away LMFAOOO. but it kept bothering me and recently i was just like... regirock will literally have to shine at some point... i just gotta keep trying. so i started doing resets while watching movies and jerma's elden ring vods. i'm so happy that my efforts paid off!! i threw a master ball at them instantly. lmao.

i'll probably do a full writeup about this whole quest at some point - it was my very first badge quest and it was a whole lot of fun! this was the perfect shiny to end it off on, that's for sure :')!!
