Holy ****! Just got back from a 10 day holiday where I got barely any cubing done... my first 12 timed solves beat my old PB by more than a second (24.89 to 23.87). I think I'll stop now, and just pretend that I'm generally 4 seconds faster than my normal speed before.

Pretty sure you didn't 'hunt' for them, you probably bred most of them, soft-resetted, and maybe sacked a couple.

Actual shiny-hunting involves hours and hours of grinding specific spots to find one in the wild, and on top of that doing it for specific/rare pokemon.

Getting a 1/1k or less is so much easier than hunting for a 3/36635, and completely devalues actually having one.

One of us DOES only go for wild shinies, one only soft-resets for legendaries, and most of us breed with Masuda Method.

EDIT : It's called shiny-hunting no matter how you do it. >.>

On-Topic : Tied my old 3x3 Average of 12 at 23.07 =_=
