Absolutely speechless. It really feels like the stars aligned just for this very moment to happen. Shiny Sneasel - one of my all time favorite Pokemon - after only 36 REs and 2 phases!

I've really been struggling to figure out what to put here. It is beyond surreal to not only have found a 10% shiny, but to have found it so ridiculously fast. I can't say I wasn't expecting a faster hunt given how Smeargle turned out. But this was beyond quick.

Believe it or not shiny Sneasel took quite a while to grow on me. I remember borrowing my friend's action replay back in elementary school and using a hack to make all my Pokemon shiny. When I saw shiny Weavile for the first time I actually really didn't like it. The shiny was so different and contrasting from the original that it turned me off from it. It wasn't until I got into shiny hunting that I really started to appreciate it. But without a doubt I can say that shiny Sneasel looks best in gen 2. The yellow and pink used is so nice and it compliments the Pokemon very well.

Would really like to see more people do this hunt! Shiny Sneasel in my opinion has to be one of the best shinies in gen 2. And I can't believe it's a part of my collection.

I can't emphasize enough how freak'n proud I am to own both shinies of my favorite ever Pokemon in their original generation. In a way it's like everything has come full circle. My childish appreciation for Pokemon has blossomed into something that is even deeper than when I was a kid. And I really believe shiny hunting has made that possible for me.

Thank you guys for the support as always. Best of luck on all the hunts. Up next, Murkrow!
