So. With this massive shiny boost, I'm sure we all have a few dupes - even outside of this boost. Your opinion on duplicate shinies? Do you catch them? At what level do you stop? At what point do you start disliking seeing certain Shinies? What Shinies do you never mind seeing? For me, I keep catching duplicates although a little voice at the back of my head is always screaming "UGH IT'S NOT BELDUM". The basically only exception to this is Fletchling. I see Shiny Fletchling and I catch it and I just keep getting happier as my flock expands.
usually i caught the dupe shinies i found (aka during past shiny boosts). at least i think so, looking at my profile, ha. but this one is so powerful that i'm just not bothering with it, otherwise i'd have way too many. watch me get the whole plethora of rp institute shinies except surskit and feebas which i actually want lol (i mean i DID get cresselia pretty early so ig i shouldn't be complaining that much, i haven't seen another cresselia since)
I catch all shiny woopers I encounter pretty much. I dont mind seeing dupes, its not much different to me than the regular encounters without the boost.
by the way, in case you didn't know, to get them all you should get all the eevee that say they're "not in your collection" before you try to evolve them! that's because as a way to have the evos be "random", every eevee that evolves into a specific eeveelution is actually considered a separate mon from the other eevee, even though they have the same image. so that's how you can have eevee say they're not in your collection when you've already caught some. but when you evolve a mon, it's considered as not "in your collection" anymore, so you'd risk catching dupes if you evolve some before having enough for all the eeveelutions. also fortunately region letters (for when the corresponding eeveelutions appeared) were added to the eevee's names to make this all a bit easier! (what i said is the same for every split evolution here btw)
I also have some extra shiny eevee. And two shiny darkrai. and two shiny hoopa lol but no more pokeballs T^T
Oh really? I didnt know that! I was ignoring the eevees if i alreday have their letter. Thanks for telling me! Now ill make sure to really cafch them all.
