Pokemon player spends 5+ years completing one of the weirdest Shiny hunts in history, immediately promises to never do it again

Shiny hunting is a time-honored tradition among hardcore Pokemon fans, but there's one Shiny hunt in particular that stands out above the rest – not a quest to claim specially colored Pokemon, but rather to get specially colored clothes that look like Pokemon. Yes, Shiny clothes have been confounding Pokemon Battle Revolution fans for nigh on 20 years, and after all this time it seems one prolific Shiny hunter who goes by Noa_Kyogre is the first to have collected the entire set.

Pokemon Battle Revolution released as a spin-off to the main series on Wii in 2006. You can collect costumes in the game, including a special series of Pokemon outfits, which you can collect by defeating the respective endgame trainers that wear them. And, if you're very, very lucky – like 1/8192 lucky, a number that'll be very familiar to old-school Shiny hunters – they'll be wearing a special, Shiny version of the outfit that you can collect.
