Your "YES!" moments

It's a while ago now, but beating Cynthia in Platinum with four Pokémon. It was a very ballsy thing to do since I usually bring a full team, and she's Cynthia. Out of all the champions I expected to overcome at a numbers disadvantage, she was the last.

I think the best moment came from when I used the burn Milotic purposefully received earlier from Flint's Flareon's Will-O-Wisp to stonewall that dreaded Garchomp with Marvel Scale. Nothing felt more awesome than showing I could do that.
 
Catching a shiny female Eevee in X. I wasn't even LOOKING for an Eevee, let alone a shiny of any sort, but I got a shiny female Eevee by chance. Caught the little girl, will probably evolve her into a Sylveon, as I love its shiny form.
 
Today I bred someone a HA female Chimchar since he needed one for breeding and he traded me an Eevee egg. After the trade is done, I went to hatch the egg hoping that it's female since it's in a love ball, but I know that chances of getting a female Eevee is low. Once the egg hatched, I became happy and excited that it's a female 4IV calm Eevee! I'm keeping her to breed her in the future for a Vaporeon. :)
 
Mine was catching one of the fighting-type trios in one Quick Ball at full health. I don't remember which one it was.
 
I spent quite a while trying to catch a Modest Abra with Synchronize in Moon. I went through 105 Abra to get it. As an apology for making me wait so long it was holding a Twisted Spoon, too.
 
After many years in the making, I've finally recruited every Pokémon in Blue Rescue Team. The game that got me back into Pokémon is now 100% done.

If that's not a "yes" moment then I don't know what is.
 
Ora's was the first time I completed a pokedex

Won the master ball in the lottery on festival plaza after my second attempt. I wasn't focusing on the game, so it shocked me when I looked down and saw that I won. I was just expecting another berry juice!:D
 
Hatched a Timid 6IV Rotom in Omega Ruby.

While awesome, I'm actually breeding for a specific Hidden Power type so I don't intend to use this one myself.
 
Completing the National Dex at long last. And getting two shiny Glameows via Masuda Method a few batches after this.
 
I caught a shiny Emolga while looking to fill my Pokedex! Two shinies without the shiny charm! Can't wait to get that thing.

EDIT: Misidentified the shiny charm as a shiny stone. Just wanted to fix that. ^^;

After hatching a bunch of eggs, I still don't have a shiny Oricorio.

Instead, I got one with perfect IVs in all stats. I'm going to take a break from breeding and raise the pokemon.
So it's been over a month since I tried Masuda Method'ing for a shiny Oricorio. I've been sending breedjects over WonderTrade, and the first yes moment I got was when someone sent me a 5V Ralts. It was lacking in Speed, but still a great pokemon to use as a parent.

I decided to take a break from the Oricorio hatching once more and started breeding the Ralts, but then I got a shiny Ralts on the fourth egg! It was more of a perplexed moment because I didn't want a shiny Ralts (I already have one in ORAS), and after all those weeks a shiny decided to appear right then and there for the wrong pokemon.

But I remembered reading somewhere on the web about players hatching batches of Magikarps until they got a pokemon they desired, and softresetting the whole process over and over. As I didn't care about the shiny ralts, I simply hit soft-reset and changed the parents.

And yes, on the fourth egg - I got the shiny Oricorio!! It missed out on some of the IVs that I wanted, but then again, hyper-training is a thing. I'm willing to hyper-train this thing regardless of how long it'll take XD
 
I was doing a battle for the Alola Friendlies, and my Electric Silvally was up first against a Gyarados. I'd seen an Alolan Marowak in his team lineup before the battle, but I had no idea if he brought him into this specific battle or not. I decided to chance it and call the switch-in to Marowak, so that instead of feeding its Lightningrod with Thunderbolt, instead it took a Super Effective Shadow Ball to the face. And what do you know, I called it right. It just feels so good when you're right about those things.
