    I got my Zamazenta through the community code. Took a while. I wish I had known about these earlier o_O 

    I'm trying to figure out if I'm crazy, though. While I was trying to trade Zacian, I came across a SHINY MEW under that code. And the person didn't immediately cancel, so apparently they were willing to go through with it. I didn't because then I wouldn't have a Zacian to trade. But aren't Shiny Mews only available through some event that happened years ago? Makes me wonder if I should have done it...

    To add to the posted community codes, there are also codes set aside for the Galar and Kanto starters, though I haven't had any luck having Bulbasaur or Squirtle show up yet (not sure if the Kanto codes will work until the DLC is released)
    - 7301 Grookey-Scorbunny
    - 7302 Grookey-Sobble
    - 7303 Scorbunny-Sobble
    - 7304 Bulbasaur-Squirtle
    - 7305 Bulbasaur-Charmander
    - 7306 Squirtle-Charmander

    I'll be blunt, always be weary of people willing to give away a shiny legendary/ mythic. It's most likely hacked.

    Kanto starters are already accessible and tradeable in Sword/Shield, they’re just not in the Galar Dex.

    Weather was FINALLY right to get a Mimikyu yesterday and complete the Pokedex. Thanks again to @marvel b for offering to trade me one.

    Got the Shiny Charm and went shiny hunting...still nothing yet.
    Only shinies I have ever encountered in any Pokémon game are either scripted (Red Gyarados in Gold) or scheduled Dynamax battles (Magikarp in Sword). Never seen one in the wild.

    I just lucked out SUPER hard, and have myself a Sirfetch'd now.

    My strategy was this. Take a low leveled Farfetch'd (mine was Lv. 20) that is holding a Leek and head to Route 10 where you can encounter Snom (the one I fought was Lv. 46), and basically I just played a LOOOOOONG game of attack, potions/revives, swapping Pokémon, HOPING to just get 3 crits in on the Snom. Took 3 of the last 4 attacks to get my three crits. Literally the finishing blow was the third crit and I was just thrilled. :lol  I genuinely expected this to be the most stupidly difficult Pokémon to obtain, just because I did not think I would be able to find a battle that could last long enough to give me 3 crit chances AND not have my Farfetch'd just get wiped by the opponent. SO happy this worked on my first attempt.

    If you ever plan to evolve farfetch'd again, I suggest hunting down the leek item and teaching it false swipe and focus energy. Only took 4 turns to get the three crits for me.

    At least RNGsus was on your side!

    My Farfetch'd was holding a Leek, but admittedly I didn't think of moves that improved crit chances.

    Pretty cool except I already have them all Shiny.

    The only Pokémon I do NOT have Shiny that’s pre-Gen VII is Volcanion.
