If you catch a shiny legendary from a Dynamax Adventure, are you locked out of getting that shiny again forever. Or if you do a Dynamax Adventure hosted by someone else, for the same shiny legendary you already got, can you get it again?

>>56207095
You can only catch one legendary of a given species per save file in DAs.

You can participate in DAs hosted by others even if you already caught that legendary from another DA run.

Again, you can only keep one per save, even if you join one hosted by someone else. If you already caught it (shiny or not) and want another one you can start a new profile in your Switch and try your hand at DAs again

>>56207095
If you catch a Legendary in Dynamax Adventures on your save file, shiny or not, once it's caught it's caught you can't catch another on that file

I'm convinced egg hunts are just cursed. I'm well over 1k into a hat hunt on swsh myself, I've never had a masuda hunt I didn't give up on or be below 1k other than the first one I did for a Zorua in Black.

Gen 8 rolls a new seed every time you swap parents or boot up the game.
BEST way to egghunt is hatch 500, then restart and get a new seed, than hope you didn't roll shit RNG and have to eat 2.5k eggs to get something that's not worth it at that stage, especially if you're masuda with charming.

Anyone got any dexnav hints? I was hoping to get Volbeat and Illumise but the patches seem too small, anyway to force an encounter? Going for Lilipup now, hopefully won't take too long.

There are more. Take your pick. Dozens of ways to spoof shinys in PoGo.

>people still care about other peoples shinies
The only ones that matter are egg mons in Masters

>>56210904
It's unironically one guy talking to himself. He does this every thread when no one replies to him. Also I didn't know masters had shinies does any character mention your shiny mon?

The ravings are pretty obvious, and not just on this board.
>I didn't know masters had shinies
Pretty much all the egg mons can be shiny, but the shiny is usually locked to a specific role.
No comments and they usually suck.
Also regular pairs feature shinies and nobody really cares either.

>>56210934
>No comments and they usually suck.
Lame.

>>56210934
>Also regular pairs feature shinies and nobody really cares either.
Even lamer they had the perfect chance for characters who met a legendary before to be weirded out or curious as to why their mon looks so different from the one with a shiny.

>>56210823
>you have a play a game where you are forced to be gender non-binary.

>>56211043
It's funny, because you have to cope with being wrong by deluding yourself into thinking all your assumptions are reality.

Has anyone ever timed out Square shiny hunting, Masuda vs SV sandwiches? I'm aiming for Squares of all the SwSh-compatible starter Pokémon, thinking the best way to go might actually be sandwiches.
Assuming I want 3 of a shiny:
>~3 shinies per sandwich with a well placed isolated encounter
>1/16 odds per shiny
>~8 hours for 48 encounters, putting me at odds
>Extra time for HOME transfer but not too bad, maybe an hour tops
>Maybe another hour for HM farming
>10 hours total
vs SwSh Masuda with Charm
>Immediate Star/Square reveal
>But 1/512 * 1/16 = 1/8192 odds
>Four times over, so 32768 eggs at odds
>~4m30s for a clutch of 5 hatched
>~492 hours total
I haven't fucked these calcs, have I? I didn't think the difference would be so extreme

>>56211334
>Extra time for HOME transfer but not too bad, maybe an hour tops
Are you calculating dial-up during maintenance downtime?

>>56211344
Mainly calculating the repeated transfers from SV into HOME into SwSh to validate if shinies are Star or Square. If your boxes are near full that's a solid 5-10 minutes per transfer session, HOME got laggy as shit post-BDSP

>>56211334
Well I have fucked them, why was I doing 4 for SwSh? Still:
>1/512 * 1/16 = 1/8192 odds
>Three times over, so 24576 eggs at odds
>~4m30s for a clutch of 5 hatched
>~369 hours total

>>56209229
>Going in raw

>PokeRadar
I have no idea how anyone stomachs this shit. The fact that your chain can just break though no fault of your own makes me never want to do this
>Hordes
I've never done it intentionally, but I've found a few shinies as I was grinding EVs
>Dexnav
I've only done this once before for a shiny Klefki, which was also the first time I ever had to reclaim a shiny. Not bad, but I prefer other methods
>SOS
I've done it a few times for stuff like shiny Mimikyu or Bounsweet. Tedious at times, but sees results. I've also gotten several shiny Chanseys with this as I was grinding levels
>Catch Combos
I've never played LGPE
>Ultra Space Wilds
Ultra Wormholes is actually kind of fun to run through, so I like this method. The odds are insane and since shininess is determined on entrance you can savescum if you fuck up, but it's balanced out by the relatively shallow selection. I'm glad it has Barbaracle, might not be everyone's favorite but I like it
>Dynamax Adventures
I would rather kill myself. The fact that I got a shiny Reshiram at base odds is insane, though
>Sandwiches
My favorite shiny hunting method. Not entirely free, but not too tedious either. Perfect for when you're chillin' out listening to some podcasts
>PkHex
I can understand if it's for something super bullshit, like shiny Manaphy or a one-time event like shiny Zeraora, or if you're just trying to fuck around for fun. But unironically arguing it's a valid form of shiny hunting is just taking the piss. Unless they're legal (in other words, look legitimate) I wouldn't mind having one, but if it's something I can get myself through more legitimate means I'd rather get it that way
>Sucking cocks (Pokemon Go)
Unless it's something that's only available in GO you shouldn't ever feel proud to have them. Sandwiches might be considered free, but they still require some skill and a keen eye in order to get them

>>56211330
>cope with being wrong

>>56211964
>The fact that your chain can just break
To be honest it would be way too easy if it didnt break. It doesnt too long for 40 and you can also just stop at 19 or something and reset at that.

>>56209229
Sandwiches but only cause i legit find the minigame fun

>>56205026
On the topic of the spoiler, I have spent days, maybe weeks even over the course of a few months routing Pokemon Wack for a coomer playthrough. I made a world map for all the regions, listed encounter charts with the wild encounter rates per route, found the trades, and had to take extra time to locate what route some event mons are on as the wiki only lists where wild encounter rates are. I've been spreadsheeting so I can read everything on one page. Now double checking the dex on the wiki to make sure I don't miss anything in the 4000+ dex for what I would smash. Pokegirl Island has humanoid forms of all gen 1. Item locations are a bit of a problem still as the wiki doesn't have an itemdex and there are some choice mons that I'll have to use the in game gacha system "wonder trade" for. I still have a few that I know exist but I don't know what route they appear on. You need to beat the post-game for some.

And then I realized that for this to truly be complete, that I would need to shiny hunt in addition to regular catches. I haven't even started the game yet. I have never shiny hunted before not usually caring about visual aesthetics, but the point of the playthough is the appearance, therefore shiny hunting becomes mandatory. This is almost as autistic as that guy who was trying to get either a complete dex or a living dex of that game. I don't know if the later is even possible legitimately.

>>56212127
>n- no u!!!
Is this really the best you can come up with?

>>56212189
I've only had issues with XY radar but thats only because the mechanical changes does not fucking function with most of XY's route design.
I've heard BDSP also makes it worse? But I never bought BDSP

>>56212396
I dont remember all the specifics but theres a higher chance of it randomly breaking but theres also double the chance of shinies becuse its 1/99 instead of 1/200. Its still fairly common and should result in 1 shiny every 3 hours and more if you continue the chain.

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaisu!!

how did you get these, anon?

>>56212330
How did this all start? I saw the Titsdevoir, and wondered how to get one. Seems like the answer was beat the game or beat the post-game but after further research that may not actually be true. Once I saw the sheer size of the dex, I decided to make a map and start this project as I figured it would give me something interesting to do on my way through the game. I severely underestimated the scope and now according to my version history log I have worked on this for 6 months over the past 3 years.

According to my list I would shiny hunt AND regular hunt 449 mons out of the 4857 in Pokemon Wack. And I still have to double check my list so I expect the list to increase slightly. So far though this is 898 catches out of which half are to be shiny.

>>56212443

Yeah but you have 9 minutes to find a shiny though. What you could do is disconnect from the internet to continue your search though.

>>56217467
I did literally just find one after I posted that but I still need 2 more. Didn't realise it was ending yet, thanks.

I'm debating getting a copy of Shining Pearl just to try hunting for a Shiny Arceus. I basically have zero interest in any of the other pokemon in the game, or even in the game itself, really.

I already have Arceus in Legends, so there's that.

Is there a better way to hunt for Shiny Arceus?

>>56217905
It's the ONLY way to hunt Arceus

>>56217909
Now I've got to figure out if Shiny Arceus is really worth it.

>>56217916
How badly do you want your own OT?
I can give you a shiny one if you want. But it's an event one.

>>56217859
who cares when mints exist

>>56215271

>>56217905
Its the only way to hunt shiny Arceus, its shiny locked in DPPt and PLA, there's one or two shiny distros from Gen5 if I can remember properly

Here's a debate, especially for the guys going for a full shiny dex who hate GO shinies. Which one would you prefer:
>Event Shiny Genesect from the mainline games
OR
>Genesect with your own OT hunted in GO
I've stopped using GO shinies for my dex but I'm honestly leaning to option 2 since it's actually somewhat of a "hunt".

>>56218031
It's not shiny locked in Gen 4 but it IS illegitimate as they never gave away the Azure flute to enter the hall of origin. They only started locking stuff in Gen 5.

>>56218055
>welfare shiny vs soulless husk

Don't try and cite the deep magic to me witch, I was there when it was written. Fuck you and go play the games you didn't, as your education's clearly lacking.

Fuckin hate gen 9 hunting due to the game itself being a laggy POS. I hate how there's a 5 second delay just to put up the picnic table and then you gotta spam A to skip the gay eating cutscene. Then you get to the outbreaks and the game becomes 10fps

I just learned the shiny charm on pokemon brilliant diamond oly works for eggs.
is there any way of improving chances on static encounter legenedaries?

>>56218074
It would be nice seeing as the only one we can legitimately hunt post bank will be Arceus (unless you got the Shaymin and Darkrai items) but I think they would just prefer to charge for GO tickets.
>>56218109
Nope, that's why I'm trying to get mine in USUM.

>>56218095
aim the camera to the ground when preping the table.
zoom your camera in, choose places close to walls or water.

>>56218088
It's shiny locked in the sense you can't take it out of the game.

>>56218114
Anon, to play GO, you need to be 13, to own a google account, assuming you're not playing on your parent's email. And the majority of fucks playing GO are adults, that's why it's set up like it is, instead of being like the kid's games.
They distroed all the mythicals, chiefly for kids in 2016, to celebrate the anniversary. There's every chance they give out shiny ones now, they had a paypig shiny celebi in GO, Game Freak still went and handed out a shiny Celebi as a movie tie-in.

>>56218119
So it's not shiny locked in the slightest and is instead forbidden from being transferred, take your L and do one you disingenuous retard.

>>56218125
>own a google account
Or a Facebook account
Or a Pokémon Trainer Club Account

>>56218119
If you randomly redefine words, anything and nothing is shiny locked

>>56218127
It's literally the same end result.

>>56218127
>>56218136
>instantly samefagging to damage control
>overly aggressive for no reason
Hi, !Akemi.

>>56218008
Completely indifferent, and I'd gladly take a shiny Arceus if it meant not having to buy a game and play it for 200+ hours just to get it.

>>56218136
Dunno about trainer club, but facebook is 13 as well. The point is, it's not aimed at kids as much as it is teens and adults, who likely have personal smartphones.
>>56218137
Not in the slightest. And certainly not if you're hunting it JUST to hunt it in odd-school odds as a braggard. But that's the difference between something being shiny locked and something being transfer-locked. You can still hunt the fucking thing, if you wanted.

On SV games.

since we're talking about transfer locked things, anyone knows why I cant move my Lv1 creation trio from the Sinjoh ruins from BANK to HOME?

>>56218186
Not the same. Those CAN go up games. The cade allows for it.
Arceus can't go up at all.

>>56218055
I have both, but I've opted for the non-GO. My order of preference is:
>Non-GO (or LGPE-able like Meltan to avoid HOME's GO stamp)
>Correct OT
>Correct Ball

>>56218211
>Those CAN go up games
No they can't, they are literally trapped on a cartridge

No problem. Enjoy.

Thanks for the shiny Eevee. He's a cutie.

>>56218221
The games code 100% allows for shiny Gen 2 and 1 pokemon to exist in Home and current games. Home and Bank will not allow shiny Arceus in them.

>>56218195
No, if caught in Platinum, Shaymin gets the fateful encounter flag and Darkrai passes as-legal. So if you hunt both, they both can move forward. game Freak had foresight to code Platinum Darkrai as legal (IIRC, if you level up the DP Darkrai to 50, it passes too, but it may need to be transferred from Platinum).

People always talk about the shiny they got but never about the WHAT Pokemon you use to hunt. So, what's your designated shiny hunter (or team)?

I'll start

>>56219240
Breloom
Gallade
Pecharunt for moral support

>>56219240
Gallade is my usual go-to hunter mon. It's got good attack, the False Swipe + Hypnosis combo, and because it's part of the ever popular Ralts family, it's all-but guaranteed to show up in most games. If I have the option, though, I prefer to get a Spore setter like Parasect or Breloom. Breloom is especially useful since it has Poison Heal, allowing it greater longevity during encounters

>>56219240
Smeargle and Alolan Marowak are my goats

>>56219240
Whoops, meant Fug is the main guy I keep in front for most overworld hunting in SV and then when I do actually have to capture them, I have an Ampharos for status effect, Gallade for false swipe, and then like a low level mon (depending on the general level I hunt in) in case it uses a recoil move after false swiping it just in case even though I do save right before

But for ORAS, I have maxed PP Pokemon that can keep going until the chain ends

Damp + Spore, Soak and False Swipe.
fun fact, didnt realized it was hacked or anything special until way later when I was sorting my boxes to compare and complete both of my livingdexes

>>56219240
Historically, I prefer Gallade because False Swipe/Hypnosis/Heal Pulse/Mean Look role compression.
Back in MY day, mons could run away.
For US holes I currently run A-Marowak for swiping, Roserade with Sleep Powder and a random Pelipper for Soak.
Because that's what I had on hand

>>56219656
Pretty much my go to, but I use Swords Dance instead of Mean Look for stronger mons. Also a Wide Lens for the Hypnosis accuracy boost

does shiny hunting on the switch games even count

>>56220102
I mean yeah. Despite the sandwich boost luck is still a factor and you can go several sandwiches without seeing a single shiny (or getting one you didnt want, looking at you shiny stantler). Also doesnt help that the lack of an overworld animation makes it harder to notice the more subtle shinies (im 100% sure i've missed shinies before). I recently started hunting shinies and so far my longest streak without seeing a shiny has been 5 sandwiches, which doesnt sound like a lot but remember each sandwich lasts 30 minutes, so it was 2 and a half hours of hunting.

>>56210840
>press A is harder than walk
sure, fatso

>>56220102
If it's not 1/8192 or higher, does it really count?

>>56220228
You don't have to walk to get shinys in PoGo. Just turn on the auto catcher bots.

>>56220235
no

>log into pogo
>get 25 shinys in 20 minutes
>log out
Ghetto shinys.

>>56220228
hardest thing about pogo hunting is having space to catch more shineis

The only chore of GO shinies is the restriction on transferring them to home.
Unless theyre Kantomons (and you have LETSGO PIKAEEVEE) shinies takes a lot of energy to more and it takes even days to recharge, and god forbids you from moving a shiny mythic/legendary since it takes the energy of a whole week

>>56221129
really? I barely get one shiny per month, (not counting the comunity day ones)

>>56221739
>Unless theyre Kantomons (and you have LETSGO PIKAEEVEE)
Im so retarded, how I've not ever think of this.
Do you know if you can catch them with premier balls?
I've never used that feature besides for Meltan once

>>56221920
once you have them in the Safari Zone you can use any of the 5 balls PikaEevee has

>>56221923
thats neat, I like the premier ball enough to consider it an upgrade vs the 3 standard ones

>>56220639
>just cheat bro
not an argument, fatso
>>56221388
and having legs way too strong, fatso

>>56222394
I love the irony of you (and you alone) constantly trying to call people against PoGo fat, when all the top PoGo players are fat ugly mexicans.

>>56222843
>top PoGo players
How is that relevant to shiny hunting? I'm going to assume when you say "top pogo players" you're talking about "the people who regularly win or place at pvp competitions" and not "random anon using GO as a tool to supplement their maingame shiny hunting". So again, how do they matter to this conversation? Especially as the nolifers of ANY video game, much less core pokémon are fat ugly fuckers anyway?

>>56222902
Because shiny hunting or otherwise is irrelevant to the point that people who are against the integrity of PoGo shinys has nothing to do with them being fat. And the fat players of PoGo are often the legit players.

A long hunt really puts into perspective how lucky you get sometimes

>>56223003
this
Took me less than 30 SRs to get my shiny Celebi on VC Crystal a month or two ago but I havent completed either:
>shiny Hat Pikachu from USUM
>the 3 shinies from Motostoke Gym in Sword
>Manaphy Egg on Pt, SS and D
>shiny Celesteela on DA
been attempting each of these hunts for months, or in Manaphy's egg, a year and half

>>56220102
On swsh the aura boost is really unhelpful and grindy to max out and you still can't see if an overworld encounter is shiny.

>>56223019
Manaphy has been so fuckin painful
I can't be bothered to do more than a couple hours on it every few days cause it just feels so much worse than literally every other hunt
I even started hunting on emerald just cause manaphy feels so bad

>>56223019
>>Manaphy Egg on Pt, SS and D

This one is legit really, really hard the others are just bad luck, But Manaphy taking years is not uncommon.

This and Jirachi are the only ones I will never hunt.

>>56223134
>>56223167
yeah, got my copy of Ranger like 3 years ago but at the time I didnt had a 3Ds (nor a DS) and was until like a tear and half when I finally got one to finally move my all BANK stuff to HOME and with it the hunt for Manaphy.
I own every Gen IV cartridge but restarted Diamond, Soul Silver and Heart Gold to reroll for new TIDs...
Like you >>56223134 said I just commit a hour or two to it every few days, one day I will get my fucking manaphy

there's anything that can be hunted exclusively on USUMs wormholes? Ive heard those things are more cancerous that gen8's DAs

>>56223756
Some stuff is very easy. I think all the legendaries are shared, but the regis are overworld in SwSh so you have the same odds as resetting once you find one in the wormholes. I think the same for the swords of ugly design

>>56223756
DAs have several of them, if you don't tolarate finding paths and their gameplay you can choose Wormholes instead (plus any Beast Ball balltism will be way easier), other than that:

Sword of Justice but the tent method in SWSH "should" feel easier than SR holes.

Regi trio + Gigas, lower odds than going for them in BDSP or SWSH.
