World's Quickest Shiny Noibat Hunt (not clickbait) I didn't expect it to take very long at all because of Masuda Method + Shiny Charm bringing the odds to 1/512, but I got this funny little minty bat in just 41 eggs. I'm going to get as many ribbons on her as I possibly can, I just need to figure out a name for her first. It was really funny though, I hatched 40 eggs, took a break to play Baldur's Gate 3 with a friend, then came back and hatched one more egg just for it to be shiny lmao. Since this was a lot faster than expected, I may look for a second just so I can have the full line (ignoring that I already have a shiny Noivern in Scarlet and could simply Not Evolve this one). That, and I've also been having a lot of fun hunting in Pokemon X again; it's been a while since I've played, and revisiting this old save to do some more hunts I've always had on my list is just pretty nice! Any nickname suggestions?  |

41 eggs...! It's like she thought she was a fishing chain. Congrats!! I hope if you go for another, that it doesn't go way over odds now as a result c'x I have leagues of Noibat nickname ideas. Here are a few off the top of my head: - FLAC - If you don't mind goofier names. I know you're fond of your audio files
- Aura - The inside of the Noibat line's ears look like the little eye wigglies you get before an ocular migraine, and the symptoms forewarning a migraine are called an aura... I guess you could argue Migraine for the same reason LOL
- Mintaka - She's minty-colored, and this is a star in Orion's belt, which feels apt for reasons I can't even articulate
- Stellaluna - I don't know if you also grew up on this children's book, but it's about a fruit bat.
- Decibel - Self-explanatory
I will not be offended if you don't use a single one of these <3 just wanted to contribute! |

I love those name suggestions! I'll definitely be considering them (current placeholder name is Carmilla but it's not a 100% for me), and at the very least be keeping them in mind for next Noibat I hunt. Flac sounds like a perfect little goofy goober name for a Noibat, so the one I won't evolve will probably be getting that name..
ALSO STELLALUNA HELLA ACTIVATED SOME BURIED MEMORIES holy hell. I feel like some long dead part of my life just woke up from a thousand year slumber

UPDATE So this post has long been in the making. In the background, this Noibat has done it all. She's been a dazzling contest star, she's climbed the Battle Tower, and she's become regional champ four times over. I'm holding off on transferring her up to Scarlet until I get the Master Rank Ribbon (even though it's also available in SV) just because I really want to use the team I bred and raised in Sword to climb the ranks and Heliolisk isn't in Scarlet's Pokedex. Anyway, here's a video showing Aura the Noivern with (almost) every Ribbon available to her in Sword!
Though, speaking of Shiny Noibats, I do have a different project to work on sometime soon. |

this is so cool!!! ribbon mastering is a thing i'd love to do. a lot of people are paranoid about bank going down with 3ds function, but they said that they aren't taking it offline so i'm not super concerned about it. great work :-)

I'm sure Aura would be very happy to know that her radiance is that inspirational. Ribbon Mastery is no easy feat! It's a lot of fun though, if you're willing to take your time. What more is taking the time to do a shiny hunt or three?
