Why is shiny hunting so important in Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Shiny hunting has been pretty popular in the Pokemon community for a long time now. For those of you who may not know, shiny hunting is when a player encounters many wild Pokemon at a time so they can find a shiny Pokemon. This can take hours at a time, especially if you can't escape a battle. Lowering a shiny Pokemon's health until they can be easily caught is also tricky, so players will often save as soon as they see a shiny Pokemon in case they need to try again. Shiny hunting isn't necessary for playing the game, since shiny Pokemon are just differently colored Pokemon. But, it's still important to fans because it's very rewarding when they do finally catch the Pokemon they're looking for. I don't really understand spending hours of time trying to catch a specific Pokemon, but I do understand the excitement of stumbling upon a shiny Pokemon and then being able to catch it. So, I think as long as someone enjoys doing it, it's worth the time spent. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
