[LIVE] Full-Odds Shiny Fuecoco after 7,297 Eggs Hatched in Pokémon Scarlet (Safari Theme DTQ #1) 

Can't think of a better way to start of a DTQ in a brand new generation than with a full-odds shiny starter!
I'm going to be brutally honest here and say that this hunt is as monotonous as they come. Collectively, this hunt took over 250 hours to complete. And here's why...
When breeding in this game you have to wait for the eggs to appear rather than walking around until they generate. There are ways of speeding this up via higher sandwich powers (egg power 2 & 3), breeding Pokemon of the same species or having parents that are from different trainers. However, because I did not have a means of obtaining a Fuecoco from someone else I decided to just use my own. I also sufficed with using egg power 1 since I didn't want to play through the game to unlock egg power 2. This made egg breeding brutally slow (about 35-45 per every 30 minutes). That is partly my fault, but I also wanted this Fuecoco to be as authentic and honest to my DTQ as possible.
During the hunt there were times when my game crashed and I lost hundreds of eggs that could have well been the shiny. But, we'll never know. Because of this I saved my game every time I obtained a batch of eggs just to ensure that if my game would crash I wouldn't lose all those eggs. This however made it even longer of a hunt since I had to release every individual Fuecoco after hatching them.
You may have also noticed that I hatched Fuecoco on a special route. The reason for hatching it in the back alley ways was to force the game into a special egg hatching cut scene. The game does this when there is not enough room for the egg to hatch in the overworld. This made the hunt slightly longer too, but I didn't mind since I really wanted the alternate egg hatching screen.
Needless to say, this hunt was brutal but absolutely worth it in the end. I'm really happy to have this little guy on the team and I can't wait to start playing this game!
Up next is Flittle! I hope you guys are enjoying the games and finding shinies as well (hopefully a lot faster than me, lol)
As always, best of luck on all the hunts!
