Caught while watching the first half of the Hornets vs. Heat game. That makes Butterfree my first Gigantimax shiny. The male Butterfree has no black on its wing. Named after the butterfly that sits at the quest board in Bug Fables.

I really like this shiny. Such a neat color choice.

Caught as an insurance shiny

Chained while creating a study guide for my Indiana Politics class. Named after the species of animal because Raticate resembles them.

Caught while brushing my teeth in the McCutcheon bathroom in a run which was cut short and only had two Pokémon in it. Named after my friend Kyle because he told me that Raichu was his favorite Pokémon, and he uses him in every game.

Caught while playing a game of Counter Strike with my friends. Unfortunately, a repeat shiny. Named after Ejiro from My Hero Academia because of his spikey red hair.

My first Poke Radar shiny caught via a 40 Chain. Named after the Jiggilypuff player in Melee.

Named after Hungrybox's coach

Named striker because the beginning of his name is "Gol." Also kind of a reference to the Mario Strikers games.

Caught while watching a Scott the Woz video about Toys to Life videogames. I got this on litterally a zero chain. I had no idea who the Pokemon would even be which is a first for me. named after the Christmas characters from A Miser Brothers' Christmas because we are in December and the nose of the Shiny Dugtrio changes colors.
