Hello all! I was not expecting to have this good of luck during this fishing extravaganza I embarked on, but I'm very happy I did. Fishing encounters are fairly slow compared to traditional random encounters, and while still not horrendously slow, do take a fair bit of time.
Starmie is one of my favorite shinies of all time, if not actually my favorite, so I'm very happy to have this! Crazy side note: Starmie ended up having nearly perfect attack, speed, and special attack IVs somehow! It definitely has 30 Attack and Sp. Attack IVs, and very likely has 31 IVs in Speed. Actually insane that a random Staryu from the wild ended up being shiny *and* having IVs like this. It also had 25 IVs in HP to boot.
While I don't normally care much about the nature/IVs of my shinies, I'm usually taken aback when strokes of insane luck like this happen. This little Starmie is truly a star!
I will now be moving on to hunt Seel in Seafoam Islands. I have found 2 repel tricks for it, and will be starting with one that doesn't butcher the encounter rate. Hopefully Seel doesn't take too many phases. Thank you all for watching and good luck on your hunts!
