Lucked out and caught a Shiny Maschiff last time, so here we are taking on the Dark Crew of Team Star! Plus I get to explore water now that Koraidon can swim!
Shinygate rules:
1) Every Titan Pokemon, Gym, and Team Star base is all considered “locked” until I catch a Shiny Pokemon that matches the primary type.
2) Shiny Pokemon only count if they are caught, not encountered.
3) Autosave must be on for the entire duration of the challenge.
4) In Union Circles, if someone else finds a Shiny Pokemon before I do, that Shiny Pokemon does not count towards this challenge!
5) Sparkling Power sandwiches (the sandwiches that increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon) may not be used for this challenge. Encounter Power sandwiches, however, are allowed.
6) Mass outbreaks, which feature a specific Pokemon and have increased odds of finding Shiny Pokemon as more of the outbreak spawns are defeated, are allowed for this challenge as long as I disperse it soon after I find it. (Basically, I’m not allowed to let an outbreak sit on Stage 3 or 4 while I look for a Shiny Pokemon for hours.)
7) Shiny Pokemon hatched from eggs are also acceptable, but I can only hatch one egg at a time, and I cannot have Pokemon with abilities like Flame Body in my party along with the egg.
8) When I “unlock” a Titan Pokemon, Gym, or Team Star base, I am allowed to challenge that boss at any time; I do not have to rush towards the boss I just unlocked!
9) Pokemon cannot be caught OR raised above the level cap that is dictated by the number of Gym Badges I have, i.e. Lv. 20 with 0 badges, Lv. 25 with 1 badge, Lv. 30 with 2 badges, and so on, until the level cap is lifted completely once I have all 8.

I am a livestreamer on Twitch! I play mostly Pokemon, Guild Wars 2, and Monster Hunter on stream, though I’m certainly not limited to those series; I did play XCOM in the past, after all. To catch me live, or to see my streaming schedule, go to www.twitch.tv/darksearchman and I’ll see you for the Search Party!
You can also follow me on Twitter @DSearchman where I post what game I plan on playing as well as when I go live!
