To all those who have a project that isn't quite there yet, DO NOT give up , you may be surprised what you find if you breed in the proper direction and take a chance here and there. If you believe in it don't stop till your absolutely sure of what you have!

Food for thought, my first Super Stripe ball came from a weird female that looked alot like a Fire, I was thinking when I bred that Yb to her that I'd make Yb Fires which I knew were really neat. I got 1 single Super Stripe out of 9 eggs , that's it.. Now imagine if I had not got that one "magic" egg (or it didn't hatch and went bad) and I only got the other 8 eggs, had that been the case I likely would NOT have bred in that direction ever again and would NEVER have figured out what I really had (whirlwinds, YB's and that Super Stripe). I would have wrote her off as just another pretty female Ball if she didn't make that first Super Stripe when she did! The whirlwinds are so subtle anybody would have overlooked them without seeing that Super Stripe sibling along side the whirlwinds.. Crazy stuff isn't it...


Anyway back to the Mystic Potions, here are the 2 boys..
One pic take with flash, one pic without flash..
Again a big thanks to those that made a comment!
