Sometimes, I think #PokemonLegendsZtoA wants to break my soul.

The status screen for a shiny Alpha Pokémon in Pokémon Legends Z to A. It's got maxed out hit points, special attack, and Defense, plus a nature that buffs out its special attack even more... and the shiny Alpha in question is a Delibird, often derided as one of the most useless Pokémon in the entire franchise.

This might be the most impressively useless Pokémon I've ever caught. #PokemonLegendsZtoA

Oh my GOD. This quest traumatized me. It's a way too accurate representation of the retail worker experience. I didn't want to relive my days working my way through grad school as a cashier! #PokemonLegendsZtoA

So, for fellow #PokemonLegendsZtoA #MegaDimensions players...

Is it just me, or do the odds of shiny Pokémon spawns increase as the timer runs down on hyperspace exploration? I feel like the vast majority of shiny spawns happen right as time is close to expiring.

A Windows XP dialog box stating "Task failed successfully."

When you enter hyperspace in #PokemonLegendsZtoA to shiny hunt one of two Pokémon but you find the shiny of a third species instead.

Seriously, I ran out on energy *right* as a shiny Riolu spawned?! #PokemonLegendsZtoA

I swear, every time I hear the shiny spawn sound in #PokemonLegendsZtoA, I instantly become the dogs from Up going "squirrel?", except I'm going "shiny?"

Every time a player leaves the mega dimension:

#pokemonztoa #pkmnza #ztoalegends #pokemonlegends #pokemonlegendsztoa #megadimension

So, I just discovered that one of the possible tasks you can get in Mega Dimensions is "catch a shiny Pokémon" - and yes, you get a guaranteed shiny spawn when it does.

Oh, I see avenues for fun. #PokemonLegendsZtoA

The Pokédex entry for Mega Falinks in Pokémon Legends Z to A, featuring shiny Mega Falinks.

I love this glorious dipshit. #PokemonLegendsZtoA

Oh sweet! Peep this! Random shiny! #PokemonLegendsZtoA

Oh lmao I know EXACTLY what they're driving at here and it's very funny. Disappointed that neither of them used a Koffing but I suppose that would have been a little too on the nose! #PokemonLegendsZtoA

Just chillin' with some coffee. I don't take enough pictures in this game. #PokemonLegendsZtoA

I thought this outfit looked sort of Cruella Deville ish, so I went with it. #PokemonLegendsZtoA

PSA for my US peeps who were hoping to be able to use a Voucher on #PokemonLegendsZtoA, you CAN redeem a voucher for it, but only on the Switch eShop, NOT on the website for some asinine, idiotic, unfathomably STUPID reason.
