The first year I'm doing a Shiny Bingo, and the year I created this website.
Almost every Bingo requires an Ellie lol
January 11th, 2026
First Shiny of the year goes to this Shiny Clauncher I got from Pokemon Go. There was some sort of. Lobster event going on, with Clauncher and Corphish and stuff, and this lil red guy surprised me!
Louis, like... Louisiana, like cajun food... Shimps.
Anddd coming in just a few hours late of being my first Shiny of the year, this widdle Cyndaquil in Heart Gold!
You may notice this is the only Johto starter not on my Bingo sheet; this is because I've gotten this exact shiny before! So this lil man is a dupe. I ended up giving him to my wifey, since she gave me her second shiny Budew from her Eterna Forest Buneary hunt. So, the hunt for Chikorita and Totodile continues! I really want Chikorita; if my next shiny is Totodile I'll keep going for Chikorita, but if its the bean then I'll probably take a break and resume this hunt at a later date... I've been doing a LOT of resets.

Lil squishy guy this morning... shiny Alolan Grimer in GO!
I LOVE Grimer and Muk... they're so happy and want hugs! Ash's Muk is one of my favorites he's ever had hehe. Very proud of the name of this one, also. Let's see if I get anything while I'm ACTUALLY hunting today...

First Wormhole Wednesday of the year! For me, anyway, I forgot before this lol.
I've been sick as a DOG for DAYS... a combo of a cold and unfortunate period timing (not that there's ever a GOOD time for a period lol) knocked me on my ASS... for a lot of it I was too out of it to even shiny hunt lol. But! Managed to get a couple encounters in the Wormholes before I ran out of energy, and one of them was this fluffy fellow! The name Dubby comes from my wife, lol- she had an Altaria named Dubby on her team when we played through Pokemon Scarlet together.

Shiny Buneary in Platinum, courtesy of my wife!!
This isn't even my shiny; I took a bit of a break from shiny hunting for a bit, due to being too sick to do much and also burning myself out a bit, but! My wife was searching for this Shiny Buneary for 2 years on and off, and I was so hype when she found it it felt like I found a shiny myself lol. So here is Aubrey! 2 years in the making, and according to my wife, all worth it. Unfortunately she has Klutz, but we take those. She's named Aubrey, after the character from Omori.

First phase for Pikachu in Viridian Forest in Soul Silver, an Oul :3
I was hoping to get some cool phases out of this hunt! This lil guy surprised me, just before midnight; he was like an hour from being my first Febuary shiny lol. Might change his name if I think of something I like more or something, but I've been thinking a lot about Zelda this month, so Mr. Gaebora came to mind hehe. As a side note, I'm already so happy I've started this page to keep track of my shinies; I actually feel like I've gotten stuff done this month! Hoping I find some more cool stuff in Febuary, mayhaps some targets? We'll see.

Another Wormy Wednesday find, who I was very happy about!
Named after my beloved Ludicolo from my Genlocke, SwampSteps. I've been in a LOT of pain and pretty tired this month, so I haven't been doing a lot... trying to get some encounters in for stuff though! Preparing for AbsolBlogs' future SWSH Surprise Trade event by preparing some Ellies to trade out hehe. We'll see how much else I get this month, if anything.

Wormy Wednesday find for this week!
Got good encounters in for this wednesday, and found this golden guy! I'm not crazy about the Lake Spirits, though Mesprit is my favorite if any, but Uxie has a very good shiny! And I eventually want to get all the Wormhole shinies, which means I needed to get this fella eventually. While I didn't find it, I found Palkia's Wormhole at the end of the day, so I'm hoping to get that next wednesday; stay tuned if I actually find it!

A surprise baby!! Shiny Ellie!!
I want to trade Pikachus during the SWSH Surprise Trade event in April, so I've been thinking about where to get Pikachus the quickest, and while encountering in BDSP, I ran into a lil fella with a suntan!! Gonna have to put this one on the Elliequest page... back to collecting normal Pikachus, and hopefully finding some bingo targets... I wanted to have at least one by now...
And, in the same day, lol...
Was still testing out the best methods for catching bulk Chus, and having a lot of success with Let's Go, Pikachu! Got a couple boxes, along with this precious baby! Assuming I might get some more along the way to filling up my boxes in Shield lol... we'll see!
