Thanks again for the amazing tips and information! I will take Eclipse, my haxorus to see nurse joy when I get back from Mt. Silver. I was gonna see if I could spot that Absol but no luck. And I promise I’ll send Staraptor with a letter as soon as Sunlights egg hatch! Have a nice day!

Very much belated, but you’re very welcome! I hope you have an excellent day as well!

Hi! First off, I have good news! My Sunlight nested pretty heavily a few days ago and this morning I found her and an egg! I’m so exited and happy for her! Now, for my question, is it possible for a pokemon to be half shiny? I was lucky to catch a cute lil axew some years ago and back then nothing was off, but he evolved to a haxorous not too long ago and his colours are a fade from a normal one to a shiny one. Like a gradient almost. I’ve never hear of it before. Have you?

First and foremost, regarding Sunlight, congratulations! It’s great to hear that she’s doing so well. May the hatchling be happy and healthy!

As for your question, it’s actually entirely possible. Although shininess and standard coloration are both defined as specific palettes according to breeders, the possible colors a pokémon can be is actually more of a spectrum. Pokémon can possess pretty much any combination of colors: limbs or appendages that are actually of the shiny variant, pelts that are shades lighter or darker than they should be, and even scales that display a cross of both. It’s just rarer for it to happen as such, but for a pokémon to be born like that? It’s certainly possible.

However, for evolutions, you’ll need to be a bit more careful, especially if the preevolution was not colored that way. In some cases, yes, the process of evolution could trigger a unique sequence of genes that results in odd coloration compared to the preevolved form, but in some cases, this could be an indication that there’s an underlying health issue. It wouldn’t hurt to take your haxorus out for a thorough check-up, just to be on the safe side.

Hi! I’m alittle worried about my partner Sunlight. She’s a Luxray that I’ve taken care of and raised since she was a tiny lil shinx. I still don’t know what happened to her parents. Anyway, we just came back from a long hike in Mt. Silver and she’s been acting very odd. She’s become overly protective and she’s been stealing all of the blankets in the house. Along with that, she’s also super picky when it comes to food, and normally she eats almost anything, exept for blue gummis (part 1)

Actually, these sound like classic nesting behaviors. Several pokémon native to the Mt. Silver range are capable of breeding with luxray, including absol (a rare find, but nonetheless), as well as ursaring and donphan. Even if you only lost sight of Sunlight for a day, that could be enough time for her to meet and, well, mate.

Keep an eye on Sunlight for the next few days. If she begins eating more than usual, you may be expecting an egg or two soon. The next step would be to follow her to find out where her nest is and to see if there is an egg to be concerned about, and if so, the step after that would be to convince Sunlight to let you help her (as opposed to electrocuting you on sight if you’re anywhere near her nest, which tends to also be classic luxray nesting behavior.)

Best of luck!
