I’m neither essentially the most proficient nor the luckiest shiny hunter in terms of amassing these in-game rarities, however I’ve all the time loved the distinctive shade palettes of shiny Pokémon and the way badass or horrifying they will make a beloved species look. Due to this, I used to be naturally excited to see that shiny Pokémon had been included inside Pokémon Sleep, figuring out that there was a slim probability one might sometime seem throughout my slumber.
The shiny odds in Pokémon Sleep are decrease than the mainline video games, very similar to Pokémon GO. Nonetheless, If my Pokémon GO days had been any indicator, I knew to not count on something, and to presume that I wouldn’t come throughout a type of sparkly critters for a really very long time, probably for so long as I handle to carry curiosity within the recreation.
What I didn’t count on, nevertheless, was for a shiny Pokémon to be handed to me on a silver platter on the primary day of my second week enjoying Pokémon Sleep. Sadly, this isn’t a story of success, however as a substitute a fairly twisted, painful joke for my hopeful inside baby who adores amassing Shiny mons’.
You see, the shiny I acquired in Pokémon Sleep was none apart from my Week 2 Snorlax. To anybody accustomed to the sport, you’ll have now realized why that is such a travesty. To anybody else who’s nonetheless a bit misplaced, Snorlax is the one creature within the recreation that’s non-catchable. As a substitute, the weekly Snorlax you obtain components methods with you on the finish of the week, solely so that you can obtain a brand new one. This meant that I needed to undergo by feeding and powering up this large sparkly boi by my sleep analysis, figuring out that I’d by no means be capable of add him to my assortment. It’s secure to say, by the tip of the week I used to be useless inside.
The worst half about this entire ordeal is that I used to be three days into my weekly sleep analysis once I lastly observed the big drowsy man was of the shiny coloration. You see, Snorlax has a type of shinies which might be similar to the unique shade palette, which means it’s straightforward to overlook at first look – particularly if you’re a heathen who typically retains your cellphone display screen on a decrease brightness resembling myself.
Upon the belief, I used to be extraordinarily shocked and overjoyed that I’d discovered a shiny one so quickly – my luck not often goes this manner. It wasn’t till an excellent 30 seconds later that this small burst of pleasure got here crashing down, exploding into disbelief, after which rage that may give Pink Gyarados a run for its cash….and eventually, disappointment. Because it seems, my luck with shiny Pokémon has remained the identical, with Pokémon Sleep enjoying a merciless, heartless joke on me.
As a lot as I wished to only throw away my entire week of analysis and fake none of this ever occurred, I made a decision to only benefit from the presence of this glowing rarity for the week he could be current in my recreation. I fed the hell out of that factor, hell, I’m fairly certain this pixel on a display screen consumed extra meals in complete than I did myself over that week. However hey, if I used to be going to be letting this lad wander again into the wilderness come Monday, then I might be sending him house with a full stomach.
After an extended week of conflicted feelings and inside turmoil, Monday lastly rolled round, I acquired my weekly rewards, and it was time to half methods with the shiny Snorlax. Snorlax, I’m unsure if I hate you, or I like you. Nonetheless, one factor is definite – I’ll always remember you, you son of bitch. Might you reside an extended life on the market within the wilderness, snacking on the entire berries your coronary heart needs.
