    CONGRATS!

    My roommate has been shiny hunting VC Crystal Celebi off and on for about 3 years. Like 4 ish months ago I made a save on my 3DS and started doing soft resets. My app isn’t letting me upload the picture as proof at this time but we recently found it on my 3DS. We were watching TV and I wondered what it sounded like so I watched a video of someone finding a celebi. About 5 minutes later I actually got it and my roommate looked over like “wait did you watch the video again?” and then realized.

    We don’t have official numbers on odds, but our estimate was that they had at least a couple thousand resets. I probably did a thousand or so on my machine. We guess we’re under odds by a good margin. Still insane to me. I sort of had to go sit down. I’d had a few 1/4096 odds in Violet while doing other hunts but never a 1/8192 in an older gen game. Might be the rarest shiny I’ll ever get.

    If you can somehow get the save file over to your PC, you can use PKHeX to edit your save file. (Make a backup!) Making a machoke a machamp should be as easy as selecting your machoke, right click it, View it, change the species from machoke to machamp, and then right click your machoke and set it. Then save and replace the save with the new one.

    I would keep Aron for the eventual aggron

    Now to deal with your water problems. Wingull is flying/water, lombre is grass/water, mudkip is water/ground.

    Mudkip / Swampert is a great pokemon and you should keep it. I’d replace Lombre with Breloom or Roselia, brings your grass/water to grass/fighting. Breloom’s mach punch is SWEET.

    So to your flyer, the problem with Pelipper is that its Attack stat is pretty awful and ALL flying-type moves in Gen 3 are considered physical. (Water are considered special, which is Pelipper’s second-best stat). So keeping Pelipper to primarily use for flying-type moves is going to be rough. Swellow is a great default, and other flyers (Altaria, Tropius) are available later but are either rough to level or not worth it.

    This isn’t so much an argument for piracy as it is an argument to not patronize Disney. Especially considering that Disney’s motion for arbitration is so far beyond baseless that it’s baffling they’d even attempt it.

    AKA: No, Disney will not be able to force you to arbitrate a dispute just because you once (or still do) subscribed to Disney+. Their motion will be denied, and pirating their content will not - in any way - afford you legal protections in the future.
