After 8 phases and a total of 100.181 encounters, Shiny Ralts joins my Sapphire Dream Team Quest! Overjoyed to add this one to my Gen 3 collection. It's undeniably a gorgeous shiny and the sprites are so elegant. I think just about everyone can resonate with Ralts in Gen 3 as most people during play throughs would pick one up. I knew this one would be a challenge especially so early in the game but for the most part, this hunt wasn't too bad. The repel trick makes it 10% instead of the base so an average of 10 phases opposed to 25 is a very good increase making it 2.5x more likely to encounter a Ralts.

The main drawback for my luck during this hunt was that the phases were quite long. Double odds three times and a few average to short hunts thrown in to give me an average of 12,523 per shiny. I did manage to get Ralts under 10 phases which was the one hope for this hunt.

Phase 1 - Lotad after 31,366
Phase 2 - Wurmple after 8,330
Phase 3 - Zigzagoon after 1,838
Phase 4 - Lotad after 10,516
Phase 5 - Zigzagoon after 9,261
Phase 6 - Wurmple after 13,181
Phase 7 - Poochyena after 489
Phase 8 - Ralts after 25,200

A total of 100,181 encounters.

Bunny hopping made this hunt a little slower than it could have been but as I like to playthrough my games with my shinies, I didn't want to get Super Repels in Fallarbor Town which is the earliest possible way outside of trading. It's a shame Pick Up spamming doesn't give you Max Repels.

Thank you for watching as always!
