Live Shiny Spikey-Eared Pichu After 567 Hours! [HGBQ Finale]

[2-10-21]
The Badge Quest is over after about 8 years. I started hunting the starter on July 27, 2013 and have now finished this final hunt on February 10, 2021. This Pichu took 17,001 eggs & ~567 hours and is my longest hunt in terms of hours to date. Absolutely worth it. For those interested, this Pichu cannot migrate, but I don’t migrate my shinies anyways so personally I’m not affected.

A lot of you already have a problem with this hunt before even seeing it. At the end of the day, I did this hunt for fun for myself, it doesn't affect anyone else so if you have a problem with it then you should re-evaluate what's important. It's an 11+ year old video game.

Here is the cheat needed to allow Pichu to breed, for those interested. Press L to activate, if the Pichu are breeding then it works! (Not sure if you can MM this or not, I assume you would be able to with a male foreign parent or ditto)

It genuinely helps me focus better, I use it for school more than hunts, but it could be beneficial for hunting too!
