Memorializing my Green Team Quest

Now that this quest is finally over I'll share every single hunt and phase to show how long it took. I wanted to do a dream team where all the shinies are the same color. In the future I'll do a different color.

The quest was started May 19 2019 and the last hunt was finished March 22 2024.

I started this hunt on a car ride to Canada so I didn't count at first. Then I would bring it everywhere still not counting, even like dorm parties and stuff. I know i did it super consistently for over a year and swear I got to at least double odds. At some point I started counting and reached an additional 8138 before getting it on December 21 2020.

I had bad phase luck with all my bugs. Here are the phases for Weedle:

Metapod: 4672

Caterpie: 5096

Caterpie: 13027

Caterpie: 4658

Caterpie: 2169

Weedle came after only 374 on January 19 2022.

I did Clefairy in the game corner so I wouldn't have to worry about phasing for a bit. I got it after seeing 4155 on June 14 2022.

Kabuto was the fastest one. I got it after only 477 resets on January 6 2023.

I was lucky that I didn't phase for Krabby since I hated fishing. I got it after 14060 on July 30 2023.

I wanted to finish my quest with something cool. Nidoqueen is one of my favorite Pokemon and despite it being common elsewhere, I wanted a Safari Ball member of the team because of the green ball. I ended up choosing her between her and Doduo. I want a Doduo one day, so I focused on the areas that did not have it available so I wouldn't phase on it during this quest.

However this was the worst hunt in the entire quest. I thought the problem would be me failing Nidoran a few times, since I have in the past. But instead I just never ran into one until the one I finally caught.

Here are all the phases for Nidoran:

Paras: 9066 Fail

Venomoth: 802 Fail

Paras: 255 Catch

Venonat: 312 Catch

Rhyhorn: 18199 Catch

Rhyhorn: 8520 Catch

I saw my first Nidoran after 3207 on March 22 2024 and caught her.

After training up the team and doing Berry Forest Hypno on the way I finally beat the game with my green team :)

For easy sake I only used the counted numbers for Bulbasaur.

Total encounters: 120830+

Total shinies: 18

Average per shiny: 6712
