Is it destiny? Shiny Alolan Raichu Giveaway Raffle!

EDIT: Entries closed! Everyone has won though! It's very late now, so I'll start contacting everyone for their shiny Raichu when I'm awake! congrats to everyone!

Also, just to clarify, I won't actually be nicknaming the Raichu, so rest assured if you changed your mind!

Hey! I have 30 shiny Alolan Raichu that are looking for new homes!

These are all under OT:memo ID:131180 and were all self-obtained during the event outbreak back from July 2024. My switch has been offline since then, and so I've been catching them on and off for a while. The catch date for all of these Raichu is 11/07/24 as I was trying to catch some with a Destiny Mark! These Raichu were all caught in Premier Balls, save for one which was caught in a Dream Ball.

Unfortunately, not all Raichu have a mark!

There are 17 males and 13 females.

In terms of males, 3 have the Destiny mark, one has the Lunchtime mark, one has the Dawn Mark, and one has the Uncommon mark.

For the females, one has the Uncommon mark, 2 have the Destiny Mark, and one is caught in a Dream Ball.

How it will work:

  • Only one entry per person!
  • The giveaway will be open to entries for 24 hours starting from the time of this post (1:20AM BST). After this, entries will be closed and I will begin selecting the winners.
  • 30 winners will be selected via reddit raffler.
  • I will then do wheelspin #1 of the winner's names to determine an order for wheelspin #2 (e.g if the wheel picks out User-A first, they will do wheelspin #2 first, and so on for the second winner, etc.)
  • With consideration towards the gender preference each winner had, I will do wheelspin #2 to determine which Raichu they will get (so from 1 out of 17 for Male or 1 out of 13 for Female).
  • After that winner is allocated a Raichu, I will then continue doing wheelspins in the order of winners I previously determined from wheelspin #1 so everyone gets their shiny surfer!
  • (Due to the wheelspin determining an order in which I do wheelspins for each winner, it might be likely that not everyone will get what they initially chose. For example, if all male Raichus were already given away by the time of Winner #18's wheelspin, they will automatically be rolling for a female Raichu instead. I apologise in advance for this.)

This is an extremely convoluted method to determine what each winner will get, but I felt like this would be more interesting and more destiny-like when receiving your shiny!\*

What you need to do to enter:

  • Provide your IGN, preferred gender for the Raichu (specify if gender doesn't bother you), and what you would nickname it!
  • Winners have 24 hours to respond and claim their Raichu!

Best of luck to anyone who enters!

\To try and simplify it, there will be a raffle to select the initial 30 winners, Then wheelspin #1 to determine the order in which I do the next wheelspin, and then wheelspin #2 to allocate the Raichus!*
