Day 43 of drawing every shiny I catch while I attempt to complete my shiny living Paldea dex

Zorua, zoroark, Sableye (cloudy marked), Alolan Vulpix (blizzard marked) and Alolan Ninetales (uncommon marked)

I'm so hyped I managed to get two zorua to finish the line
Zorua and Zoroark (along with ditto) are special cases in pokemon scarlet and violet where they will only apper as other nearby wild pokemon
and this goes for their shiny variants as well, they won't appear shiny at all in the overworld and will only sparkle/transform to show their shininess once you engage them in battle
you can more easily detect them with the 'let's go' feature where you have your leading party pokemon run out and battle pokemon on their own
since they will refuse to battle shinies (they'll have a lil sweat drop icon appear near their health bar and also visually be shaking their head when promoted to battle)

this is how I found mne with obviously the help of sparkle sammiches I just beat the shit out of every Zorua that spawned until my lead mon refused to battle one
took two sammiches to complete the line but def worth for this more well hidden shiny imo ^^
I was def worried they'd take me much longer loool but glad I got them so quickly! now I just need to do ditto which is a lil harder cause it spawns with a ton of other normal types xD

thanks for lookin'
