>clear all chests on the map>500 coinskill me
>base odds>raid odds are somehow worse than base oddsI hate this
>>56286493In practice, joining raids should be higher odds, because people finding a shiny pokemon can leave the raid if they entered it solo and then host it for a group. People being more inclined to host raids for shiny pokemone should slightly improve the odds above just 1/4000+.It's potentially much higher, thanks to bots. I got a shiny gimmighoul today in a raid after only about 20 tries and thought I was just super lucky, until I noticed it had perfect stats. I did get lucky, but I likely got lucky by joining a bot-hosted raid.
>>56286668While I'm sure you, me, and almost everyone else who has a shiny and didn't find a raid themselves got in a botted one, you get something like 5 or 6 perfect IVs on 5 star raids.
>>56286701It's a guaranteed 4 Best IVs for 5 star (and 5 IVs for 6 star, and 6 IVs for 7 star).The odds of purely randomly getting a perfect IVs shiny in a 5 star raid is 32*32*4103, or 1 in 4,201,472. Those are some long odds.
>>56286741>The odds of purely randomly getting a perfect IVs shiny in a 5 star raid is 32*32*4103, or 1 in 4,201,472.What an awful and inaccurate way to view it. You aren’t looking at every single one and trying them. You’re only looking at your single shiny. The odds are 32^2 for your shiny to have those stats. It doesn’t matter what the entire pool is if you’re only interested in what a subset of that pool is. For some reason the shiny hunting community has an awful view of how probabilities and numbers work. Still botted of course.
>>56286935>It doesn’t matter what the entire pool is if you’re only interested in what a subset of that pool is.I was talking about my own experience. I wasn't even aware that people could bot raids, or rather, that they would have any reason to host these raids publically. I thought I had started the painful path of a 1/4103 dice roll for a shiny every time I joined a raid. While getting a shiny in 20 tries is extremely, extraordinarily lucky, it's not completely incomprehensible. That's 1-(4102/4103)^20, which is not too far away from 1/200. Lucky, but not enough to raise my suspicions during the afterglow of getting that lucky.But, 32*32 is 1,024, and getting that lucky on top of already getting quite lucky is when it suddenly clicked. While 1/1024 events do happen, the odds of that on top of the 1/4103, even with 20 tries, was ridiculous enough to make me wonder how the odds had been stacked in my favor. It's only poking around on the internet afterwards that I learned about the bots.I kind of feel stupid for needing that extra step to begin suspecting something, since a shiny so quickly should have been enough of a flag, but not questioning good fortune is part of human nature.
Ghoul hunting is hell.
caught 3 shiny marked watrelPeckishDrivenSandswept
>>56288206Ironic you didn't get the featured mark
i am not losing my HOME account thanks to a botted raid.
>>56288243while funny, they dont even do anything to GO spoofers
>>56288243Participating in a hacked raid doesn't affect your saves in any way, since if that were the case modders and spoofers would've gotten many players banned by having them joined these hacked raids, which has never happened and would be incredibly unfair for normal players. The Pokemon you catch from them are perfectly legal as well. Even having multiple Pokemon with the exact same species, nature, IVs, etc. doesn't matter since it's technically possible to achieve legitimately. Hell, every 7* Raid gives players the exact same Pokemon anyways, so it's really no differentBringing them all to HOME doesn't affect anything either since they're each given a unique HOME ID upon being deposited for the first time, not when they're caught in-game. As such, each clone will be considered a separate Pokemon by the servers despite otherwise being identical, which means it won't get flagged as illegitimate, meaning you won't get banned for it
Got my second shiny Gimmi in just under 30 raids altogether. First was Dragon Terra, Perfect IVs.Second was Flying, but with only 4 Best IVs.I'm actually tempted to just keep trying to grab ghouls while the bot hammer is hot.
>>56288763The “best” is 0atk 0speed, see if you can get that one
To that anon who told me about buying the DLC from Amazon Japan, it had some hiccups and problems but I finally managed to get it working and because Japs get combos that we don't I managed to get splatoon 3's DLC as well.

Can you tell which one of these gholdengo are shiny?
>>56289228Left
>>56289228I think the one with white lines, normal is red lines
>>56289382>>56289408I honestly don't know.I think the one on the right is the shiny one, because its lines are grayer while the one on the left's lines are more orange (you can see this noticeably on their heads). But, that might also just be the lighting.Is Gholdengo the worst shiny?
>>56289228Right>>56289454Yup, several possibilities for a way better/flavorful shiny and they went with the lowest effort available
>>56289228>>56289454Bruh why couldnt they have made gholdengo like bronze or silver
>>56289454It's up there, for sureI mean, I know its body is made of coins so that's likely why it stays gold, but they could've done something to make it stand out moreMaybe you have it turn a platinum gold color, or maybe have it turn sort of greenish to represent oxidation. Hell, maybe even go a bit wild and give its shiny a rainbow-ish sheen to make it unique even among other shinies, which would make sense since it's the 1000th Pokemon
>Still waiting for the Psuedo Outbreaks to get my fancy "Salamence the Radiant">>56289454>Is Gholdengo the worst shiny?It's tied with Garchomp/The Gen 9 Armors for me but at least those two aren't arbitrarily raid locked
>Decided it was time to set up Reg H team>Fletchinder outbreak>Get it raw no sandwich
>>56290097and dont forget the fucking mouse family
>>56289542Same reason why Zekrom and Reshiram stay black and white for their shinies, the original color (gold) is too important to the pokemon. They should've just changed the belt and chest color though.
>>56290577Yeah i guess but at the same time there are many variations of gold too
>new router doesnt have bgn Guess I have to see if I can get my 3DS on public wifi to mystery gift it up and start platinum hunting

Getting the two post game gift/trade shinies in SV is such a time wasting slog
>>56292784What do you mean 2
>>56292790He's talking about Munchlax and Blitzle
>>56293067Yeah>>56292790You get Blitzle from Cyrano after maybe inviting everyone to the club room and beating them at least once. Getting a lot of mixed info. Also I’m either bad at Ogre Ousting or it’s really hard solo
>>56293171It's impossible solo. It's even a challenge in a group to get the shiny munchlax.Nearly true with the club room too, in that the only way to get BP fast is in a group, and its a huge grind otherwise. I needed to join a group for a short stint anyway in order to get all the legendary snacks, and I ended up getting more BP in the few hours I needed to get all the snacks than I did in all the preceding hours filling out the Bluberry pokedex.
>>56293188>It's impossible soloI don't believe this and I am not now going to spend this evening proving you wrong
>The Chest Forms have a 5% chance to respawn each in-game dayWho thought this was ok?

Is it at all likely I could snag a shiny Gimmighoul raid by joining randoms online? I don't want to go into a discord group.
>>56293916That's how I got both of mine, and rather quickly thanks to whatever bots people have running. I can only speak from my own experience, but I got each of mine after about 20 or so raids.
>>56293916Randoms or just go to a twitch channel, they broadcast the join id
>>56294055>>56294163Thanks guys. I've had no luck yet, but I'll keep trying.
I'm taking a break from shiny hunting because I got burned off but behold the migthy XXXL shiny skiploom that I found when I was hunting smoliv
>>56294235That is a Jumpluff sir. I feel cheated and swindled.
>>56294991And I got the shiny gimmie I needed for the line (I'd traded a mythical for one earlier in the year here).
I have question.In ORAS, in regards to dexnav.Do I just want to get my search level higher? Or do I want to combine that alongside actually chaining (faint or capture instead of encounter)?
>>56295217iirc you want both, high number of seen + theres a bonus every 50, 100, etc for chained. Been a while, so might be every 5, 10, 15, etc.
>>56295222>trying to get a shiny Ralts>still have level 14 level pokemon as my highest levelThose little shits teleporting away keeps breaking my chain.
>>56295222Alright, thank you for the answer friend.
>>56293218They reduced the difficulty so it might be now.Original was damn near impossible without tool assist.
>>56295217https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1768100281852543332From our friendly dataminers
>>56295222>>56295304I see, thank you both>>56295228I am also in your boat.
>>56295304Can someone translate this into american?
>>56295394Read fellow burger.your chances increase slightly from 100, then slightly more from 200, then slightly more up to 999.The chaining further increases the chance from 50-100-150 etc.and these are cumulative alongside other things like the shiny charm,
Dynamax Adventures is fake, it's all a big fucking meme.100+ Latioses with Charm and they're all blue.Not even a pity Shiny out of the crap I catch.And these AI Pyukumuku partners Jesus Christ.
Do you guys only shiny hunt in the most modern mainline game or do you shiny hunt in your favorite game?
>>56295684Gen 4 Pokeradar is the lowest i go.
What Pokémon do I have to breed for in SV for shiny and balltism? I think it's only these Hisui mons:>H-Sneasel M>H-Sneasel F>Sneasler>H-Growlithe>H-Arcanine>H-Zorua>H-ZoroarkAlso SV starter lines x9 (although ball options very limited currently). H-Voltorb and H-Electrode I got in the timed event. But I think that's it? I hope so anyway because SV Masuda is somehow worse than DAs. Done 3/7 of these fuckos though
>>56296637>What Pokémon do I have to breed for in SV for shiny and balltism?Depends on what Balltism you have and what Pokemon you need>I think it's only these Hisui mons:There's also Hisuian Qwilfish, Overqwil, White Stripe Basculin and the two Basculegion forms
>>56297228Bwsculin white is in kitakami
hey bros, anyone happen to have a Latios, Reshiram or Tornadus in Dynamax Adventure? I've been wanting to hunt a few sword exclusives
About how long (on average) does it take for a SR hunt? Obviously could take 2 or 3 times as long, but just looking got a ballpark.
>>56286378lol
>>56297997Depends on the game and target. Switch takes long time but you can easily do like 500 a day in 3DS so it doesnt take longer than a week.
>>56298056Gonna do DS, either on a 3DS (old) or DS lite
>being in the hospital set me back a week on the litten huntstill no litten after resuming the hunt, but i got a shiny latias!
>>56288243They're not hacked like pre-CT SwSh, they're legitimate seeds illegitimately obtained. No way to differentiate, no way you determine what is intentional and what isn't. Imagine thinking that Activision would ban everyone in a CoD lobby when a single hacker joined
>>56297350>>56297228H-Qwilfish is in BBA as well.Which balltism doesn't really matter, surely? If you're breeding then clearly you aren't after PLA balls. Gen 9 mons can all be caught wild, Gen 7/8 starters can be caught for balltism in SV then transferred to SwSh for better Masuda. Everything else can be done in Gen 7. Can't think of any other exceptions apart from the Hisuis originally listed
>>56298972>they're legitimate seeds illegitimately obtainedIf they were obtained illegitimately, they can't be legitimate, only legal.Words have meaning.
>>56299004>Which balltism doesn't really matter, surely?It absolutely does. The kind of Pokeballs you're tisming for makes all the difference for what Pokemon need to be bred in which game. If your Balltism is something common like Premier or Luxury Balls, then you have a lot of options for which to catch the Pokemon you need, such that you might not need to catch/breed it in Scarlet & Violet at allOn the other hand, if you're doing a Beast Ball Living Dex (as I have) and you want a normal Ursaluna in Beast Ball, assuming you're not trading from someone else, you'll have to catch/breed it in Scarlet & Violet because it can't be caught in a Beast Ball in either Gen VII or Gen VIIIFor Gen VII, it's a transfer only Pokemon, meaning in order to have it at all you'd have to transfer it up from a previous Gen, meaning it can't be caught in a Beast Ball. As for Gen VIII, while you can catch the Teddiursa family in BDSP and Legends Arceus, neither games allow you to catch Pokemon in Beast Balls. That said, compatible Pokemon caught in Beast Balls can be transferred into BDSP and bred perfectly fine. This, however, requires the transferred Pokemon be caught/bred from out of game first, and if you're doing that yourself then you likely won't need to breed them here

SHINE DAMN IT
>>56288763>shiny hunt thread>bot
Got me a shiny noivern I love this little guy.
>>56300542Love that bat. Kind of like a dragon Crobat. I like doubles having him paired with a ghost then spamming boomburst
Time for me to get a shiny bisharp but from pokemon X and Y due to the Lore of the game.
>>56300759>I like doubles having him paired with a ghost then spamming boomburstThat's such a smart Idea I have to try it myself.
>>56296637This reminds me I should probably Masuda a H-SneaselI never got the shiny charm in PLA and it seems like it'd be less time consuming to get on the egg machine than get dex level 10 on every mon THEN pray a sneasel outbreak shows up
>>56302051Theres like 3 sneasels outside of one of the camps, its a pretty easy one to hunt.
>>56301980Works great with the ghost using earthquake too
Is it known what exactly causes which outbreaks to happen in SV? I'd like to try and get the rarer gender shinies like vespiquen if possible but I don't think I've ever seen an outbreak of them.
>>56302351The consensus seems to be the best way to influence them is to eat an encounter sandwich and stand near where the outbreak will occur then timeskip outbreaks
>Forgot only 5* Gimmighoul can be shiny
>>56302677I've heard about that but did any dataminers ever look to see the specifics?
The Gimmighoul shit wouldn't bother me as much if there was a way to consistently get into a 5* raid, but it just feels like you're rolling the dice for one to show up on the portal, and then it's a coin flip to see if you can even join it.
>>56303192Once you see one in the portal, just keep trying to get in. You should be able to get in in roughly 3-5 tries.The way it works is that those aren't singular, specific raids. They're basically collected rooms of that raid type that fill up with anyone trying to get into them.Just roll the dice until you see the 5* gimmi, and then just keep trying to get in until it lets you.
>>56302811

I’ve caught every available wild overworld shiny (apart from Fire Paldean Tauros) so it’s time for me to get the shiny starters, starting with the cat. The first one took 400-something eggs, I don’t want to count. But while hatching I’ll be prowling the overworld for shinys. I’ll post as I discover them. Good luck to everyone.
>Shiny Fletchinder while doing Wattrel outbreakNeat>>56303238I just figured that out earlier, but thank you Anon. God if GF is going to continue making raids a central focus of the series they need to learn about networking. Fuck the last one I actually got into it was down to 1HP before I could even attack.>>56303458Great shiny, one of the best.>>56303530I still think eventually there will be a boosted odds Tandemaus and Dunsparce event for people hunting 3 segments / family of 3
>>56303458>monthsI feel spoiled.Even the most difficult Shiny hunts I've done in Scarlet have been resolved in under a day, with most in under an hour.
>>56303565>I still think eventually there will be a boosted odds Tandemaus and Dunsparce event for people hunting 3 segments / family of 3That's the kind of thing that typically gets introduced in a new gen or a side game rather than event; giga rare stuff like that typically stays rare in its debut gen.

>>56303822Sparkle sparkle
>>56303565Thanks! It's the first time I got the exact shiny I wanted.>>56303577Shiny hunting in older games, specially 3rd gen, it's a test of resistence. No radar, no Masuda Method, just a ton of patience.I'm taking a long break after this
>>56303827Kitty cat! A little over 200 eggs for this one. One more to go.
Failed 5 Tapu Bulu runs in a row due to the worst path/mon/bot rng imaginable, but at least I got this as a consolation prize
People who got shiny Gimmighouls from joining random raids, was it obvious they were hacked, like did the host have a website as their name or something?
>>56304069I didn't even consider that the raid had been botted/hacked at all at first. I just thought I had been extremely lucky to have gotten one so early, up until I checked the ghoul's stats and saw he had perfect IVs. Second one had perfectly normal stats though, and no way to tell the raid had been botted at all beyond the raw odds making it fairly likely.
>>56304069No, but as soon as I checked stats, it was clear (one flawless, one 0Attk/Spd IV's).And they're not hacked, they're manipulated yeah. but all that is is automating when a shiny would show up and setting Switch dates to it.
>>56304069They dont do the website name. I've only seen website names on herba farming runs with ditto
>>56304257I've got a foreign perfect IV shiny ditto I got via that random trade feature with a website name.I won't say what that website is, but that ditto has been an invaluable breeding tool.
>>56304294Yeah, the websites do a lot more mystery trade than raids. You'll see a lot of (actual) people using shiny iron hands named pokegenwebsite.net or whatever, though
>this is stupid why am I even doi- wait what already ok thenThis took like 20 minutes
>>56304425jesus, you've been sitting on that event for a whilegood job though, now do darkrai next

there's any shiny hunt exclusive to Ultra Wormholes? or everything there can be hunted elsewhere?
>>56308435Yveltal and Xerneas are only in wormholes or dynamax adventures, and I'd pick wormholes any day of the weekBut technically nothing is exclusive to the wormholes, as everything is in dynamax adventuresThey're just aids
>>56286257Does pokemon home still let you transfer shot or is there no reason to shiny hunt in old games anymore
>>56308435All legends from USUM are available in SWSH and some of them are easier on Ultra Wormholes.Basically most non-mythics from Gen 1 to 7, plus most UBs can be hunted in DAs provided you have both versions or you have saved the path from a non-native version (limited to max 3 paths). Further info:Type Null and Poipole lines: both are gifts in SWSH but are shiny locked, best SR'd in USUM.Regis (Original trio plus Gigas): available in SWSH but not boosted by Shiny Charm. They are available in BDSP too but again no Shiny Charm boosts. Ultra Wormhole hunt is recommended for these.Swords of Justice: available in SWSH, comfy hunt with the tent method but you can SR their Ultra Wormhole versions if you wantExtra infoXerneas and Yveltal: shinies available in DAs and USUM. Zygarde shiny only at DAs.Tapus: shinies available on DAsSolgaleo, Lunala and Necrozma: shinies available on DAs>>56308564You mean Bank? It still works
>>56308573Yeah the one on the 3ds
>>56308589Yeah it works fine, just need B/W/B2/W2
>>56308573>regisCan’t you not get Gigas unless you play through twice due to needing dragon and electric?
>>56304425Any way to get access to these events now? I didn't have BDSP during their distribution.
>>56308868You can get a 001 or 002 printing of BDSP and sail ypur bidoof to flower paradise. I don’t think there’s a way to get to Darkrai island. Or get platinum
>>56308868That's why you buy it then return it or rent it.Otherwise complain to Pokemon's social media to pester them to do reruns.
>>56308832Yes, you need to have caught all of them in your SWSH file plus grab from someone else the one you couldn't pick between Drago and Eleki
>>56309748Yeah bump AND SHINE GODDAMIT I WANT TO BE DONE WITH THIS AHHHHH
>>56308880Good luck if you go this route, took me 3 months of eBay notifications to find a 002 copy to import from Austria. Also you need to make sure you never update until you have everything you want from 1.1.2 or you'll need to factory reset the Switch
>>56308573>>56306163thanks for the clarification and info bros, I really appreciate it. oh by the way, the UBs you have to deal with on the postgame starting with Stakataka are shiny locked? or I can SR them like I could with the ones inside Ultra Wormholes?
>>56310706Not locked. Get lvl59 mon, pop a repel and start resetting.

>>56321072Idk if you can do everything as soon as you get there but the transfer park replaces the safari zone
>>56321156Ah, so get to Koga at the earliest? I’m just trying to make room for community day(s)
What all legendries in scarlet and violet can be shiny hunted?
>>56321959All of them can, good luck on your SRs!
>>56321959All legendaries ARE shiny locked in SV, which is a shame because several are available for capture
>>56321967If you only knew how much hope you gave me only to have it all crushed.>>56322038>All legendaries ARE shiny locked in SVWHY? At least let me hunt them in raids or something? Why would they ever do such a STUPID THING?
>>56322178Some speculate they simply couldn't figure how to code them to look shiny before the encounter or some similar shit but lately it seems like they were just lazy and pushed out the game rushed so they shield themselves under the pretense of gatekeeping those shinies for some unexplained reason. We are definitely not full backpedal mode regarding locking all shiny legends going forward because most of Gen 8 still have several options to choose but Gen 9 will look a lot grimmer if PLZA locks any legendary returnees
>>56322178Do you only believe the last thing you have read or something?Everything can be hunted, don't believe anons lies.
>>56322235https://www.serebii.net/games/shiny.shtml
>>56322038Technically not true because the Paradoxes you cab obtain in an unlimited number do count as Legendaries
>>56322263?
>>56322252Fake news, Joe.If such info was readily available, anon would never have asked such a question to begin with.
>>56322267means Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Flutter Mane, etc
>>56322287And you count them as legendary because?
>>56322294because legends are being told about them
Gonna try for a shiny gimmie of every tera type through random raids.
>>56322263Paradoxes are really just UB 2
>>56322522yea and what I previously said >>56322318 here justifies them being counted as legendary Pokemon
>>56322573OK, so it's schizo head canon
>>56322656Ok then, lets play the long gamewhat makes Moltres a legendary Pokemon?
>>56322685>what makes Moltres a legendary Pokemon?For starters, TPCi officially stating and marketing it as suchhttps://www.pokemoncenter.com/en-gb/category/legendary-and-mythical
>>56322743alright alrightWhat group of legendary Pokemon does Moltres officially belong to?
>>56322766Why would it matter?It's an imaginary monster thought up by a company.How they classify their shit is solely up to them.Doesn't matter if fans call them Legendary Birds or I can catch unlimited amounts in LetsGo.Fans can't even make up their minds if the Crown Beasts are cats or dogs.Is Arcanine legedary? Pokedex says so.I once had Umbreon come in clutch and sealing a game killing a Kyogre and M-Gengar.She became a legend in my social circle - people told legends about her.
>>56322806Honestly nothing matters But Great Tusk having a lot of legends written about it and it being a somewhat rare specimen to encounter technically makes it a legendary Pokemon
>>56322848>technically makes it a legendary PokemonNo it doesn't.Is Spiritomb legendary?Rotom?Gen1 Farfetched?
>>56322862maybe they are what do I know?
>>56322862>RotomRotom isn't legendary anymore? Also what was the legend about farfetched?
>>56323817It never was, just a unique encounter.
>>56323836>It never was, just a unique encounter.Kinda sad to know honestly but it does make sense. Now I want to know where it came from or are they supposed to represent those moving balls of lightning that supposedly sometimes happen in nature.
Bound an outbreak so i decided to hunt this cutie, nickname suggestions?
>BlueHow about Kivat?
>>56326270forgot the (you)>>56326262
>>56326270Based fellow rider fan (also is kiva good?)
>>56326393If you want my honest opinion? I really enjoyed it, The story had some holes and I enjoyed the characters, development for the most part and the ending [though it was only until far later that I realized that It was one of the more poorly received seasons at least according to /m/ All in all I recommend at least watching a few episodes of it.
>>56326393>>56326285>>56326270Just letting you know he turns very unblue when he evolves
>>56326886>BlueIn both forms he looks green maybe viridian-ish.
Ehhh shit nature but pretty cool. I got no shinies on my pirated playthrough but 2 shinies in 2 days with my paid copy. Wasn't hunting for either but whatever.
>>56327863Look nigga, I didn’t say he was blue first.
GOmmunity Day
>>56328025>shit natureI mean doesnt really matter anymore with the mints, congrats on the pretty donkey
>>56328288It doesnt matter anymore for stats but it matters more "proud of its power" style.
Don't forget to get or hunt for ghimmeghoul.
>>56329092I grabbed another one last night, so now I have three.One to evolve, one to retain as is, and one as trade fodder.I can't really imagine needing any more than that, especially since whatever value they might have had as trade fodder is rapidly diminishing.
>>56329092I couldn't go online even if I wanted to.All my saves are locked into different raids and events long past.
>>56329467>All my saves are locked into different raids and events long past.What kind of raids anon? And what's the point if you can't even go online with them to get the mon anymore?
>>56330215Main still has Christmas Delibirds because two boxes of Best Bird is not enough.Another save has the Dragons because I will get my Blizzard Mark Dratini...at some point.Another set of saves is locked into Wake and Leaves because fuck FOMO.Third set of saves is tied up with Sceptile which I will get around to maybe,
>>56330215>>56330276>And what's the point In case it's not clear:Event outbreaks are still happening until going online for new info.Raids can be done locally just fine, which is all I need.
>>56330276Still mad I didnt have a swtich when WW and IL were out
>Started soft-resetting for the first time for darkrai on pearl last week >1-2 hours per day, just did some 3 hours today>no luck yetWhen will my boy shine, bros?
>>56330312>Event outbreaks are still happening until going online for new info.That's neat to know actually.>>56330276>Another set of saves is locked into Wake and Leaves because fuck FOMO.>Third set of saves is tied up with SceptileOk now that I understand that how are you able to catch more than one? I thought that you could only catch one at a time and don't you need to save the game to transfer them to home?
What's the worst example of shiny "hunting" you've seen? For me it's people making bots to run through encounters on GSC for a "shiny nuzlocke"
>>56333436>how are you able to catch more than one?Just start a new save, host raid locally, beat raid, catch thing on new save.You do have more than one switch, right?
>>56334710Running 8 different saves just to get shiny Ponyta.
A recent welcome surpriseI'm running out of mons I wanna shiny hunt. Already did Darkrai, Shaymin and Arceus in BDSP, and the Celebi in VC CrystalI've considered hunting for Rayquaza in Emerald though
>>56331336i did tina for like 6 hours daily for 3 weeks and didn't get her now just pick it up everyone once in a while will probably take a long time kek
>>56335380Don't forget your favorite band, Sum41
>>56334710Anything by this guyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RMqLaWg_Mk
>>56336218Gross
>>56329092I'm going for a shiny in every Tera type at this stage.It's mad, I don't grind event raids usually but I can't stop grinding gimmies.
>>56335108>You do have more than one switch, right?No I wanted to wait until the switch 2 switcheroo.
Anons don't forget to keep hunting for your dreams.
>>56337524This. Even though that Zelda Switch lite is tempting...
>>56338021I heard its coming back
>>56338048>Even though that Zelda Switch lite is tempting...Tell me about it. I'm still waiting for changeable faceplates like the new3ds had.
Will the Shaymin runaways come through or will Dynamax Adventures hit first? Taking bets
>>56339090Dynamax I have FAITH in you succeeding with that.
>>56336837Up to 10 unique shiny tera gimmies, got an extra poison shiny gimmie if anyone's got dupe fire, grass, electric, fighting, rock, dragon, dark or fairy shiny gimmies they wanna trade.
>>56338055What is?
>>56341285https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BmbucPRURU
>>56341952Oh that, It's amazing and I hope they go all out with the new season then. This is one of my favorite outros
>>56329092Got one from a raid that seemed legit (but can't tell) and one definitely dodgy (host with a website name and 6IV). Considering there's no way to actually tell it's 100% legit unless you get it on your machine I'll take it. I really hope they don't do this with any other Pokemon though.
Oh, aight
Started reseting for Deoxys on FR on Saturday. This is going to be a long one...
I've only been using the free version of Pokemon Home because I don't want to be locked into paying a subscription fee forever.I'm also out of storage space from catching too many shiny pokemon. 32 boxes just isn't enough.
>>563085643->4->5->Bank->Home still works, if you have Bank and PokeTransporter on your 3DS. The 3DS VC gen 1-2 games also transfer to Bank, again if you have PokeTransporter. Pirated copies of Bank and PokeTransporter work too.Also, even if they're trapped on the 3DS and can't be moved up to home, it won't make them pointless.>>56303458Jesus Christ anon, what happened to your screen? That console looks like a perfect candidate for one of those aftermarket IPS screens.
>>56344373You can start new profiles on your switch and play up to the point where you can use your boxes. You can use Home to transfer between the profiles so basically another 32 boxes to use. You also get to download all the mystery gifts twice from having the second profile.
>>56344200Godspeed anonSquiggly boi is worth it thoPic related from gen 4 when I transferred mine up to home
Bum
3 questions fellow hunters:>there's anything in PLA like the shiny charm or any way to boost shiny odds? randomly got pic rel and now I want the other fully evolved starters>on USUM the shiny form of the UBs can be seen during their "intro animation" or I need to wait for the game to load the field bg and them to load their aura before SR?>do I still have time to get shiny gimmighouls on SV?
>>56345580https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=pla+shiny+charmhttps://letmegooglethat.com/?q=usum+shiny+UB+videohttps://letmegooglethat.com/?q=when+do+ghimmigoul+raids+endhttps://letmegooglethat.com/?q=switch+take+screenshot
>>56345580>>do I still have time to get shiny gimmighouls on SV?Yes you have until thursday 8:00PM before the raids change.>>56345580>>there's anything in PLA like the shiny charmYes I believe you get it by filling out the entire dex to at least level 10.
thing
How do you guys evolve trade shinies? Do you touch trade with randos?
>>56346746Yeah, its pretty safe here. But when Switch2 comes im free from it.
>>56346746Trade with myself, of course.Pre-switch /wfg/ had a bunch of reputable name/tripfags that would help.Nu-/wfg/ with pretty much only anons and lack of permament firend codessounds a bit more iffy.
>>56344428Whoa.Now I can shiny hunt forever. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.Thanks.
quick Thundercatdog
>>56290888awesome shiny, congrats nigga
This is insane
>>56347242>>56347589pretty fucking cool, congrats my german dude
Feel like pure shit just want this Palkia to shine
>>56348199Where are you hunting and how far are you in?
Not shiny related but was going for a Relaxed 31/x/31/31/31/x Kyogre in Alpha Sapphire and was starting to lose hope at 4 or so days of SRs but I actually got it AND it had 0 Speed too somehow.I am not gonna transfer it forward or use it anywhere, just did it for collection purposes for my save file
>>56348240Ultra Wormholes, not been tracking SRs but been on and off for a few weeks. Just want to go and SOS chain some stuff now.
>>56348287You can always leave and get back later
Been SRing for 4 days trying to get a shiny treecko in oras
>>56348311luck anon. I knew that feel all to well.
>done the same route of DA for shiny Heatran and/or A-Marowak 60 times now>other two Pokemon are Vaporeon and Seaking.>Get two shiny SeakingsFuck you game.
this shiny litten hunt is killing me, I just want to play the game man.
I tried hunting for a shiny turtwig starter for about ten minutes then gave up and cheated it in.
>>56348276I don't blame you anon. I did the same thing for mewtwo on Y.
>Found Shiny Guzzlord in Ultra Moon>Uses Thrash>confusion>Shiny Guzzlord faintedAt least I can skip the cutscene now.
>>56350356If you were not prepared for it, it's what you deserve.
>>56350356Damn, I think I was lucky to have Decidueye as my false swipper then, because I didn't even know about trash
>>56350356How? Catch power beast ball is like guaranteed catch?
>>56351132What if you don't want ugly beast balls?Catch power Premier Balls work pretty well in my experience.
>>56351140Bad taste Beast Balls look really cool There is a reason they outlived their purpose
>>56351183>There is a reason they outlived their purposeI'm sure there are people that unironically like Repeat Balls.Doesn't make them good.
>>56351132Pretty much, I could have used my 999 beast balls or a masterball but I've already caught three shiny UBs in luxury balls and didn't want to mess up the set.
>>56344417>Jesus Christ anon, what happened to your screen? That console looks like a perfect candidate for one of those aftermarket IPS screens.My old GBA, I used too much when I was a kid.I haven't any place to fix it, so, I try to conservate it the best I can.
Finally got around to finishing all the future paradoxes. The moth was by far the worst, but that’s more the others being very easy than anything else.
unrelated but does anyone have a bdsp spinda? i need one for the shiny charm and ilca screwed up so you can't transfer
>>56286257Currently SRing for shiny Tepig in Black, hopefully it will get a good nature as well
>>56352599I do have this thing
>>56352599Just fyi, shiny charm in BDSP only works for eggs
>>56352650great, can you trade rn or later? Just a touch trade will do>>56352728I just want the diploma for my collection and move on to hunting arceus
>>56352780Some stuff came up at work, should take no more than another 30ish minutes
>>56352780>>56352795Thinga calmed down, booting up the game and trying to remember how the online worked...
>>56352780Chilling in global room 56352859
