Have you ever hunted for a shiny Pokemon, /v/?
>>
Can you get banned for hacked pokemon?
>>
>>734128020
as long as you make them look legit? no
>>
>>734127985
LOL, no. Just hack it
>>
>>734127985
No, I don't have autism.

>>734127985
Only once. I bred a ton of Beldum in XY to get a shiny one because I really liked the color scheme. Finally got it and like half a day later they announced that Shiny Beldum event for ORAS early adopters. Couldn't help but laugh kek

>>734128083
Then what this dude said >>734128124
Fucking shiny hunting and IV breeding is silly busy work.

>24000 deep on a magikarp
fucking kill me bros...
>>
>>734127985
no I ended up running into like 12 organically across 4k hours of every generation. Most of the ones I have are from genned wonder trades and when the seeded raids were discovered in swsh. good times. I also have event ones from mystery gift codes. SV made it pretty easy when you did a sandwich and there was a swarm though especially on switch 2 where like 15 fucks pop in every second and you can autobattle to make more appear.

pokemon fans are legitimately mentally ill
they should be enslaved and made to do menial labour, they'd enthusiastically do it if you gave them ar glasses that let them play their games via their mind control neurolink
>>
>>734128351
sounds hot
>>
>>734127985
No. I think that one had like a 1 in 8000 chance of a shiny. Imagine turning the game off 8000 times because you wanted something to look wrong.
>>
>>734128020
Yes
From a competitive tournament
>>
>>734127985
In DP there was an in game item used to chain fights
It would shake grass and most of the time you'd get a fight with the same enemy, if it was a different one you'd lose your combo
The higher your combo, the more likely you would see shiny grass, a guaranteed shiny Pokémon
I spent at least twenty hours grinding combos for a shiny Buneary for a meme Pink team and never got it
>>
>>734127985
no, i have autism but not that bad
>>
>>734127985
Wrong board OP! You must be new.
Pokemon threads belong in the Pokemon containment board, hope this helps.

>>734127985
>>734128463
Also when DP came out, one of the lads reset his Fire Red several times to transfer all the starting pokémon to us, and he got into a fight with a shiny Caterpie.
This is the only Shiny pokémon I've ever seen, not counting scripted ones.
>>
>>734128507
retard you linked the wrong board
>>
>>734127985
No I already get bored hunting for a specific nature
>>
>>734128507
finally I can go to v do I need to login to my 4chan account next time?
>>
>>734128554
you mean the softcore pokegirl dump #7583
>>
>>734128571
He can't tell the difference anymore. There's too much Pokemon spam on /v/
>>
>>734128285
I'm 6 deep on a magikarp, if you know what I mean
>>
>>734128205
turning a pokemon into a 31IV max EV and shiny is as easy as clicking a button, iirc pkhex used to randomize some value to make it look more legit
the problem was creating a pokemon from scratch, especially if it was a legendary
>>
>>734127985
Only once. There was one I wanted in Sapphire and it only took around 40 minutes to get it.
>>
I've only done it 3 times intentionally, all in Sword. Got a shiny gastly and duskull in the same area, and the third one i got was registeel. I've found dozens more but I wasn't actually looking for any of them.

I tried for a bit with HGSS's starters since if I remember right those are the games where it actually generates the stats for all 3 starters on the preview screen so you can check if any of the 3 are going to be shiny. I only reset for maybe like an hour before deciding that shiny hunting was incredibly deranged and gay.

Between all the guaranteed shiny mechanics, the shiny lock mechanics, and just fucking hacking them in I seriously have no idea why people care about these so much, they're worthless and most of them don't even look cool.
>>
>>734128507
least retarded wannabe janny
>>
>>734128850
If you were successful, your shiny starter most likely would have been Chikgayrita.
>>
>>734128850
speaking as a shinyfag
There's just very little else that gives me that 'magical wonder' feeling I used to get as a kid from playing these games.
I've done just about everything there is to do in Gen 3 outside of e-Reader shit, so it's basically just a way to prolong my enjoyment of a new playthrough.
>>
>>734127985
Yes, it was a giant waste of time. I did the dex nav method in ORAS for Eevee.
I found a shiny zorua in PLA.This one was a less of intentional hunt and I kinda lucky. I just trying to do the shiny hunting method out of boredom without active searching for it.

I like good videogames, so I stopped playing pkmn after finishing gen2.

Pokemon Z-A makes it super easy to get a shiny. It is also the only game where I naturally found a shiny(no shiny charm), and I have been playing Pokemon since Red came out. I did find a shiny Shinx in Platinum, but that used the encounter chaining thing so I don't count it as a natural find.
>>
ZA is by far the easiest shiny hunt game. It was funny seeing people throw fits over how easy it was because they wasted so much time hunting the "legit way". I have like 5+ shiny just playing the game.
>>
>>734127985
I counted frames for a shiny Rayquaza in Emerald as a teenager.
What a waste of time that was.
>>
>>734127985
No I’m not a transsexual
