I was mad enough to Shiny hunt this thing upon the release of Sun and Moon, not knowing that the blasted cutscene was two and half minutes long! Ugh. But anyway, I stuck to my guns and got him after 1,784 soft-resets. I was hunting for about two straight weeks and sunk over 72 hours into this hunt. That's three days of my life gone for this Shiny! In the end however, I named him Kona, and I got the joy of being the first of my friends to have a Shiny Decidueye. Not only that, but he does look really cool! Easily a contender for the coolest Shiny Starter.
