shinny
Was looking for an Alpha Steelix zone and got an Alpha Beldum instead. So now I'm stuck trying to get this thing in ether a Heavy or Beast Ball.Just throw, pop, reset. Throw, pop, reset.
>got HG but the DS to play it with hasn't arrived yetAt least I'll be watching half of GDQ once everything gets here and I should be able to Manaphymax for a bit
hunting in SV is a fucking nightmare, especially when there's no shiny soundI'm constantly worried about getting a shiny and not seeing it because they're either too small or they barely change from the regular form
>>58807967>tfw have my old copy of soul silver>have no clue where the pedometer is>replacements start at like $50I just want to walk around and get garbage.
>>58808117At least GF thought far enough ahead and made it impossible to auto-battle a shiny, so running around AB'ing all of the potential shinies in an area is a valid tactic.That makes them somewhat easier to hunt than Artisan Poltchageist or Antique Sinistea.
>>58808148Oh boy, do I have an awful substitute game for you that does exactly that
>>58808148I have both of mine inside their boxes since I've never used them
>>58808164I already play Pokémon go.
>>58808167Sad to hear me too, time to get some Piplup
>>58808295I've caught every one I've had spawn.So far I've managed to get some females, and a couple of backgrounds.
>>58807910narrow waist and wide hips... why?
>>58808397why not?
Shiny power at 2Alpha power at 3My Amuras is a tiny little male In my excitement completely forgot to save him but I still have the space and donut to try againQuestion tho, is there a better way to reroll the spawns it doesn't seem like the floor tile gets me far enough away from them to despawn and respawn the group, they're in an alleyway with Onix on both sides of the mapbut first came someone smack my ass up for having my shiny and forgetting to save?! I can't believe I fucking did that!! now I have to commit to an alpha female shiny in a pokeball since I don't have any moon balls anymore I ued my last one on Darkrai
Nearly done with the base game's Pokedex, should I grind out the 1000 battles for the shiny charm before starting the DLC or does the additional research get you over the line fairly quickly? Think I'm a couple off 500 battles.
>>58808445sstart the dlc and you'll get more missionsno need to do the 1000 battles
got my 2nd shiny in scarlet, not really my target tho...it sucks I can't keep track of how many encounters/pokemon seen I did for this...
>>58808445Ignore the 1k battles, that's gæ. The DLC just gives you more research stuff
>shiny hunt for an alpha female delphox>sparkling psychic 3 alpha 3 in a fire hyperspace>takes an hour of resetting>decide to shiny hunt for the chestnaught line while doing some chores since the hyperspace was there>shiny grass 1 alpha 2 in>not even 5 minutes later I get picrelNot complaining at all, but where was this luck earlier?
shine you stupid god-llama
>>58809103it took me from 2022 to 2025 for it to shine. Have fun! :D
>>58809111Getting between 200-400 resets a day. Within those resets, the cumulative chance of having shined is 5-9%. The numbers help me cope.
>>58809126numbers mean nothing, anonit either shines or not. Could be the next minute, could be tomorrowor could be next year
>>58809151Pokemon is all numbers, they mean something.My framing is the cope.
>>58809103Why not just rng manip? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6tbCmEt5Nr8&pp=ygUKQXJjZXVzIHJuZw%3D%3D
>>58807910>been hunting for XL none Alpha>no luckIs it easier to hunt in the DLC?
>>58809367Exceedingly
I have all of the legendaries shiny hunted from special scans before I've even seen a SINGLE FUCKING SQUAWKABILLY ZONE AAAAAAAA JUST SHOW UP IT'S BEEN WELL OVER 100 DAY SKIPSIf it wasn't for the side quest I wouldn't even know it was in the Dex
>>58809443Why do you want that shit?
>>58809471He probably needs it for the dexMany of us have ended up with one mon just refusing to appear for dex completionFor me it looks like it's gonna be gimmighoul
>>58809897I've had 7 Gimmighoul, 0 Rotom. Caught all 5 shiny legendaries. I'm glad to have caught 2 shiny ghouls, especially after fumbling the SV and Go events, but it's getting ridiculous
>>58808445There are so many additional quests that you don't even have to do most of the type research quests from the base game to get the shiny charm with the DLC.
>>58809931Man my first scan was a Rotom zone. That was before we knew about the acans not being able to be re-rolled and have to be grinded for every time. I havent seen a Rotom zone since.
>>58809897For me, it's Hisuian Sliggoo and Goodra. I still haven't gotten their zoneEvery time I see the lv.200 water zone I feel like crying.FIFTEEN TIMES! For a while, I got it every other scan. It's complete bullshit.
This is my area and my donut the teleporter behind me doesn't seem to respawn them what's the play here and what are my odds?
>>58811388run back and forth
>>58811393okay! wait, through them or left and right?
>>58811399I don't know, whatever makes them despawn and spawn again
>>58811388keep trying until you get a better zone/teleporter/spawn layout
>have a hyper zone where I can fly reset gulpin and ekans (I have shiny venipede already, so I don't care that they're there)>have been fly resetting for like twenty minutes>two shiny ekans and three shiny venipedesI mean, I'm not gonna complain I guess, but how about I get at least one shiny gulpin?
>>58811564guplin my nuts loool
>finally get a scan I want (wild zone)>rotomEh, good enough. At least it's not another combat zone.
>>58811783Got a single shiny rotom, but that's fine for me.
probably a dumb idea but i'm gonna risk itare any anons willing to help me evolve some of my trade shinies through an equivalent trade? i.e. i help you evolve your trade shinies too in exchange, as collateral? i'd probably only be comfortable doing a 1:1, so Feebas for Feebas, Onix for Onix and so on.
>>58811886i already evolved mine, sorry
>>58811886Traded mine too but can trade you shinies if you are afraid of stealing
>Shiny Pansage right outside hotel ZHuh, wonder how long that’s been there…
I kinda regret reloading a backup save. I had an shiny alpha right there but I wanted a normal size one.
>>58811886i can help anon, i lost a whole file of shinies when my switch died with my file on it, so i know the pain of losing shinies i wont takeim trading some trade evos if you dont mind, post what code you wanna use
>>58811886anon>>58812169is meif you still wanna do it, can trade a shiny to you first as collateral if you want to be safe
>>58812184>>58811958Has anyone actually stolen a shiny recently? I've only started hunting in ZA but everyone seems pretty civil.
>>58812195Here? No.
>>58812195we're too austistic to steal shinies
>>58812195havent seen it in awhile, most people id like to think operate on the principle you get whats coming to you if you do that to someone else, happened in sw/sh tho couple times i remember
>>58812195There were a few in wfg around when the game launched but most of it was off randoms then bragging there to try and stir shit up. some guy from there “stole” like 5 alpha shinies i was trying to give to someone, but they were all the really boring, shitty ones everyone has like 5 of so whatever.
>>58811958>>58812169if either of you are still around yeah sure fuck it, i'll risk it. no need for collateral first or anything. thanks for the help in advance.7439 8411IGN: Sarahfor security what's your IGN?
>>58812310Still here?
>>58812348yep yep
>>58812353Ok coming, ign Julius
>>58812358<3 tysm!!!
>>58812381Happy to help
I stayed up all night, go no shiny dino got plenty of shiny onixes tho even an alpha, I'm not satisfied with this so I will reset again but man, how is this possible? My donut is for shiny ice types if I don't get one by saturday I might just beg someone for their extras.
>>58807910>Finally got Shiny Giratina in Platinum after over a year of on and off soft resetting while abroad or watching somethingNow I can actually finish the game
>took 8 years of shiny hunting to realize i care more about the grind than the actual shinies>the end result will never be as gratifying as the huntis this a hobby or a form of modern slavery
Only missing my second DS to hunt Manaphy now, so I guess I’ll just start playing through Black since everything else is getting wiped repeatedly…
>>58813765you're really going for it, huh?did you get a pokemon ranger with the manaphy egg?
>>58812779Were you the guy who ko'd the first one?
>>58813811Yep! But obviously I can’t transfer it yet due to only having the single system
>Shiny Scizor registered in Dex (ZA)I know someone didn't trade one to me, and seeing Shinies in ZA without catching them doesn't register it. So how did that happen?
>>58813946maybe a ranked battle?
>>58813949I've done an absurd amount of ranked battles and have seen multiple shinies of mons I don't have and none have been registered.
>>58813955then I don't know
is it just me that can't see the mega raichu x and y shiny forms on the pokedex? every other pokemon that I have a shiny of shows up, might be a bug
>>58812913journey not destination kind of thing, happens with a lot of stuff
>>58813946did you help someone evolve their shiny scyther and then immediately trade it back and forgot?
Finally got a shiny Hisuian Sliggoo and a shalpha one.Fuck it, I don't need two shalphas. I'm going to bed, I've spent the last 10 hours shiny hunting. I hate my luck.Fcuk Z-A, the RNG bullshit for trying to get the last few pokemon is the worst endgame of the switch pokemon games.
>Hyper Haban x6>Hyper Payapa x1>Hyper Yache x1According to this user, with these ingredients, you'll get a mixed donut, which raises your chances of getting higher power on your donut levels. Tried it myself and it's a bit more noticeable. It's a great recipe if you don't mind settling for level 2 sparkling/size powers, though you'll still get level 1 power every now and then.
>>58814360The problem with this, is too often I get two green powers. Going all in with >700 sweet most of the time results in 2 sweet power.
I did it, anons! I even caught a shiny Onix too for good measure! it's not an alpha like I wanted but after 3 days of no shine I just wanted it to be over.
>>58814588grok, make this trainer fuck their new shiny amaura. Include stomach bulge and copious amount of semen.
>>58814360We been knew. Papa Jefe did a video like two or three weeks ago.
>>58814622Why must you do this?
ANOTHER FUCKING EEVEE SPECIAL SCANS.I DONT NEED THIS FUCKING SHIT. I CAN GET EEVEE AT 2*I JUST WANT A HISUI GOODRA TO COMPLETE MY DEX.
>first shiny Fennekin I found was female>now first Alpha shiny Fennekin I find is femaleAnd all is right with the world.
i really dont want to go back to dynamax adventures though
>>58815227dewit
I really hate catching in this game. They had such a good system in arceus and they ruined it.
>>58815309what's the difference?you throw ball, you catch, just like in legends arceus
>>58815314The distance. Pokeballs don't hit even if you lock on to the pokemon. You have to be at thunder punch range to hit.
>>58815331I haven't played L: A in a hot minute, but the distance drop-off was a thing in L: A too. It was neutered by the feather ball series but the rest all suffered from it, with the heavy ball set suffering it more than the regular poké ball set.And in fairness given the only other catching scenario we encountered in the main series of games was being within battling range of the target, it kinda makes sense the catching mechanics in the Legends games mirror the catching mechanics in regards to range and you need to move your arse closer to actually catch shit.
>>58811248I've seen these in the braxcalibur zones. They don't appear in the miniature.
>>58816765There’s two bax zones, one has H-Avalugg lol
>>58816131The difference is PLA has a varied system for ball ranges. In ZA, all balls have the same "connect range", and it's shorter than their throwing range.You can literally lock on, throw a ball, make contact with a mon, and watch it bounce off. You have to be closer than the target/throwing distance range to attempt a capture.
>>58814667I have a few extra H-Sliggoo if you want oneI finally found a Rotom yesterday after 320 hours and 400+ scans. Not sure how many special scans. I'd say less than 200, but around 150+
>>58816824>And in fairness given the only other catching scenario we encountered in the main series of games was being within battling range of the target, it kinda makes sense the catching mechanics in the Legends games mirror the catching mechanics in regards to range and you need to move your arse closer to actually catch shit.
anyone has a recipe to get alpha power lvl 3 at least a little bit more consistently? I don't care about sparkling power, only really alpha power lvl 3
>>58817142I combine sweet and fresh stats to make donuts without sparkling powerbut you will have to reset a lot of times like with every donut
>>58817142There's no consistency in terms of specific powers. Just max points and stars and you've got the highest chance for getting the level 3s. I just do 5 at a time and then restore backup save if it's a bad batch
>>58817142I was on the same boat as you, I've hunted a shitton of shiny alphas mostly with only alpha power level 2 and no sparkling power, lvl 3 would help but isn't really 100% necessary, mostly because I never got a good consistent recipe too
>nothing to do at work all day>play ZA all day>shiny torchic, swablu, ralts(male cringe) houndoom, roserade>female shiny sylveon!is playing on the clock the secret?
>Go to the sewers to catch some stuff for the research tasks>Shiny Alpha LitwickNeat
>>58816834Thanks, I finally got the Dragon special scan, catch a ton for my shiny living dex.Now, I need a Rotom scan, I already got 2 normal shinies but my autism require 5 shiny for 5 forms.
>>58817530She cute
>>58817705
>>58817756i meant the litwick
If I want a Shiny Alpha Lop, what's the better game to hunt her in?
>>58817867Za
>>58817867I could give you one right now. I have so many of them in ZA. All you do is sit at a bench and you'll get her in like a few hours.
If I freeze to death in the next week or so, just know I regret none of my shinies nor the time spent getting them but also every boomer should be euthanized and everything is their fault.
Fuckers if I got the Shiny Meltan from home, can it be transfered to Go so I can evolve it there?
>>58818049hahahahahano
>>58818049No.
>>58818051>>58818052Jesus christ so its a paperweight till they add a non idiotic way to evolve it in gen 12 or whatever?
>>58818049Dont you get a free shiny melmetal from linking go or something
>>58818056Nothing can ever be transferred to GO, so you're stuck waiting for the next shiny Meltan event in GO>>58818081Believe it is a Gigantamax, non-shiny Melmetal, only currently way to get that as Melmetal won't eat max soup. So you can have shiny D-Max Melmetal but not G-Max
>>58818049you can probably evolve it if you transfer it to ZA after we get home support
Where's the best place to hunt the Ralts line? I have the promo Gardevoir and would like a Shiny Gallade to serve as it's battle partner the gallant blue knight
>>58818445are you just starting the game or are you playing the DLC? if the latter, you should find a psychic hyperspace. If not, then the best place is on picthere's a bench in the rooftop, spam that until it shines
>>58818463Are hyper space rights higher or do I need to make a specific donut for it? if so I'll try that location first since I don't have enough materials to feel comfortable rolling for the right donut yet
>>58818468you don't need a specific donut to find the right hyperspace but if you want to increase your chances, then you need good berries which you can get in 4 and 5 stars zonesbut even if you can make a good donut, it would still be easier to hunt in hyperspace because you can get 6 or more ralts at the same time instead of just 2 of them in the base game
Somewhere around 2400 resets into the Arceus hunt.
Is level 2 sparkling donut fine for legendaries? Latias is my last special scan and I have a level 2 sparking dragons so might go for it.
>>58819034It is.
>>58818986you fast cuh
>>58819353I had 2 days with a bunch of extra time that gave me at least 400 resets per day.Average is about 200 resets. Want to get this hunt done, however I'll probably stop once I actually reach odds and reconsider whether I want to continue.
>>58819553weak
>>58819553Keep going til you get piss god then immediately pivot to sonic the hedgehogOr darkrai to port into ZA for the mega
>>58819631Be nice to lil Shimmy, that’s my girl dog
>>58819263Sweet, got the shiny charm so hopefully I get the portal sometime soon.
Any guesses as to when we get Home support for ZA? I'm down to 3 spaces left in my boxes and don't want to release/start a new file
What's the ideal berry combination to try I wanna try and hunt with a level 3 all types shiny boost to see just how much better it is I had one for a level 3 Fighting type but there are no fighting types whose shinies I could think of that I wanted so I reset it maybe I should of gone for medicham
>hunting a few days on this hyperspace was a pain because it doesn't have good teleporters>next special scan gives me a 5* fire starters>this map againI am livid.
>>58820138Around February, most likely.
So, think we'll get Walking Wake and the other ones as shiny events like the Treasures and Koraidon/Miraidon? Gen 9 probably ends this year
>>58820401Nah. We never got Calyrex and the horses or Urshifu shinies.
>>58820401shinies in Go, otherwise locked to rentals in Champions
got my 3rd shiny in scarlet and again, not my target... 5 days after skiddoonto phase 3 for tinkatink... I wish I could get fairy encounter lv2 but you can't get it before gym badge 5 because you need wasabi
>>58820505cant you just use tomato
>>58820514I looked for any alternative to get encounter lv2 but everything uses something I can get early in the game
>>58820505https://birbzone.com/sandwich/
>>58820516can't get*
>>58820517I checked the link and that only confirmed what I said aboveI need ingredients you can get after getting more badges, like wasabi or jalapeno and I'm still at the start of the game. Only have 1 titan badge and 1 gym badgeit was pretty hard to defeat the bug gym with only sprigratito so I wanted to get a 2nd member for my team and I went for tinkatinkI'm gonna do one more phase. If I get something else again, I'm just gonna move on to another pokemon and wait until I get more badges to try again
Cyclizar and Drampa in a small space. Not leaving until both are shiny alpha (shalpha).
UP
