Best Shinies that can Solar Beam? Gonna make them my next hunts ^_^

can you all please just shut up and talk about shiny pokemon
>>56516579I just started running into Pumpkaboos outside Hammerlocke. Hopefully shiny soon.
>>56516579If either SOS or DA was hitting I would be happy to have something to say
>>56516585best of luck anon. What size are you hoping for?
>>56516651Smallest or biggest. Probably biggest more. Surely in PLZA we can hunt it again but better i hope.
>>56516579I started playing Go again a week ago for the Zacian event and I now understand the stigma against Go shiniesI've picked up 25+ so farDefinitely soulless, 100% going to sit in the living dex I'll totally start some dayAt least I got the Zacian, still mad about SV shiny locks
>>56516659I do wonder how they're going to go about getting all the kalos pokemon, and possibly the entire kalos regional dex, into just Lumiose City.I actually happened across this NPC in a recent replaythrough of Pokemon Y, so maybe it'll just be industrialism simulator
>>56516662Wait until the fifth to truly understand
>>56516668I'm just going to expect it's going to be the same gameplay as PLA. The Eiffel Tower is the PLA city and the areas are different Lumiose areas.
>>5651666225 shiny Zacians?You gotta stop with these passes, man
>>56516662would you willing to part with one for a shiny celebi from VC Crystal?
>>56516693Only 2 Zacian12 G-Ponyta3 G-Darumaka2 ScytherAnd a handful of other shinies
>>56516700Nah man I got my pink onion a couple months back
>>56516704That does sounds more reasonable.Two is still a good yield assuming only daily passes.Enjoy your soulless bounty.
I've been shiny breeding in Crystal using the Gyara/Ditto trick, got a shiny Bulbasaur first hatch, I've walked a billion steps and can't get a Charmander egg now. I want my purple zard bros
>>56516773how did you obtain the kanto starters? Did you trade them from gen 1?
>>56516775Doesn't the Gyara/Ditto trick require RBY?
>>56516786oops, misinterpreted, thought you meant that you were chain breeding via egg groups
>>56516775Yes, from Yellow. That's how I got the shiny Ditto, transform twice into a tradeback Red Gyara, so it keeps the stats and is shiny in Gen 2.
>>56516794Is there any benefit to using this besides it's more legitimate than exploiting a glitch? Is there a way this grants better odds than Ditto, or perhaps for an egg move on the shiny?I can't trade them up cause it's actual Gen 2 not VC. I'm doing it to have cool bros in Stadium 2.
>>56516811It doesn’t require yellow, so its easier, but you seem to have that covered already
happy duck
>>56516872Cool! Congrats. Wish Golduck was yellow in its shiny, but I like the deeper blue.
I'm gonna grind for a shiny max size treecko
>>56516662Damn bro, gonna try and get one tomorrow since a local group here is doing the raid hour, if i dont i'll see if i can get some shinies of your liking if you want
>found my emerald cart>battery dry>turned on an old DS>screen is all messed up, brightness seems low, lots of bad stuffoof I wanted to try shiny hunting on it but this is so much less convenient than an emulator...
>>56517409A live or dead battery doesn't matter to Emerald because it always starts with the same seed, no matter what.t. did a lot of that on my Emerald cart after replacing the battery
>>56517409That just makes the hunt more authentic anon
>>56517431thisbump btw
>>56517409Even if you're a solderlet it's not a hard replacement, you can pry out the old battery from the tabs and use electrical tape to install a new one.
Both within 1 minute of each other lmaoToo bad I already have a beartic
>>56517719You're shiny hunting on two systems, games and gen at the same time?
>>56516347Considering all the injected bot shinies on the GTS, I think people just assume any shiny they see is fake.
>>56516347Meanwhile my poor Floatzel that I put up for a Miraidon has been sitting in GTS hell for 13 months now. No justice in this world.
>>56518034Yeah, SOS and DA both have a lot of down time. Works well.
>>56518034I'm shiny hunting on 3 please help me
>>56517719>>56518206how has your luck been with SOS hunting? I've never actually tried it. How quickly on average do you get the targetted mon?
>>56518306It depends on a ton of factors. I knew inkay was the highest call rate so I thought I would have gotten it yesterday but it can be hit or miss with how long it takes. It does take a lot more prep than other methods with leppa berries and preparing harvest if you’re not swapping callers and everything.
>>56518586is there a resource I can find that lists the different call rates? And is there stuff you can do like intimidate to increase the call rate?
>>56518606Yes to both. https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_call_rate
>>56514859caught a shiny galarian ponyta on pokemon go for my little brother on sunday
>>56518716thank you, I couldn't find this page on my ownAlso what do you mean both? What are the methods of increasing the call rate?
>>56518754Intimidate and some other abilities (I forget which) increase call rate as well. I think pressure might, but you don’t want that due to PP drain.
>>56518760Got it, so it's only abilities, so there's no stacking you can do with moves or stat drops. And I'm guessing it also increases with lower health, right?>>56518727Good job anon, I'm sure he's super grateful
>>56518767The ideal set up would be Trevanant false swipe + skill swap harvest to get things started, then switch to either a ghost if there’s a recoil move or something with intimidate to increase rate. Of course you could do something complex like skill swap intimidate onto the called pokemon then skill swap it back to whichever pokemon you want to KO with after you have the whole harvest thing set up. You also have to account for stuff like soundproof skill swap for anything with perish song so in that case you would just switch which pokemon was sos calling each now and then because you can’t have harvest and soundproof. There’s a good Smogon thread about it somewhere that can give you the basics and then you can build off that (like using A-Marowak for anything that has flamebody like Larvesta so it doesn’t get burned and can stop it from suiciding with takedown, though you’ll still have to hope it doesn’t burn itself when you harvest skill swap it or eat the berry you’re going to have to trick onto it). There are some differences between Ultra and normal SM, but I can’t remember what they are and only ever did SOS on ultra. Anyways, I found the thread. https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sos-shiny-chaining-guide-ultra-sun-moon.3638675/
>>56518911based, thank you so much anon, I'm actually going to try this.Think I'm going to shoot for Flabebe because even though it's a shitty shiny, a shiny white flower flabebe is super valuable.Thanks again and I'll post updates when I'm able
>>56518929Good luck, I remember there’s something weird with Flabebe, like the color it calls is random or something, but at the least it should be a good way to how to do it. Make sure to get a lot of Leppa berries from Pokepelago
getting back into hunting vanillite after a break and i find another fucking herdier. ugh.

>>56520354What? There's no encounter chaining in swshEither way congrats on the bear
>>56520432Its just a joke dont worry about it.
>>56520354Shiinotic is so ugly. They should dexcut it from Gen 8 retroactively.
>>56520589You should shut the fuck up.

>>56520354Stufful is adorable though, it's definitely one of the shinies I'd love to get one day. Congratz on your golden bear, hope you get the pumpkin soon
Hey guys, just randomly found a shiny Xerneas. Must have been my first or second one (garados doesn't count). Honestly doesn't look as good as the original one imo.
>>56521772toothpaste shinywhat game did you find it in?
>>56522306Sword, I've been on a grind to get pretty much any pokemon I can without connecting to the internet
bump
>>56523591bumpity bump
Just out of curiosity...After how many eggs would you give up on Masuda hunting?I've been filling up like 8 boxes daily for the last 2 weeks and nothing...Kinda wanna throw my switch down the stairs
>>56524401If you give up, it's a sign that you don't really want your shiny,
>>56524401I wouldnt give up because eventually you will get it. At that point i would probably just check are the Pokemons really from other regions and change the mother to a different one or masuda completely different Pokemon for a while.
>>56524407I mean...I really wanted a shiny Meowscarada before shelving SV for goodBut all I've been doing is raking up hours without any progress I had fun, but this game doesn't deserve more of time
>>56524426>I had fun, but this game doesn't deserve more of timeSounds like you are making up excuses to justify quitting.It's OK to give up, but it just shows that you did not really want it.
>>56524410I recently changed both of the parents Used a bot to trade me a german Sprigatito and a different no-nickname japanese DittoAnd nothing I'm starting to believe there's something wrong with my game, shiny pokémon are a lie....
>>56524437Can't relate, ive had really good luck with SV masuda hunts. Hopefully you get it soon.
>>56524437Karma for cheating
>>56524443Lowkey I think there's something to do with that...But still I regret nothing, fuck Game Freak
>>56524440Even I had luck with shinies in this gameLiterally 30 minutes into I found a pink Lechonk, later a Bounsweet, then a TaurosOutbreaks have been a mixed bag but nothing too badThis Sprigatito is just driving me insane
>>56524448>fuck Game FreakYeah, how dare they lock getting different region parents behind...having to start a second save on your switch and home'ing over the parent.
>>56524433Believe what you wanna believe But we ought to have some self respectI might be "weak" or whatever, but I simply refuse to waste more time on this different colored catThe new games I ordered arrived yesterday, looking forward to play something more fulfilling than this
>>56524480That's cool.Just giving up instead of putting in work to chase instant gratification is an important life skill to have.Shame you wasted so much of your valuable time without having anything to show for it.
>>56524472Yeah sure, because Ditto famously appears on route 1Yes, I can go straight to the area it appears in (after the tutorial) but I still need badges to even be able to catch itCongratulations on being 100% legit, there's a special corner in gaming heaven just for you <3
>>56524499Explain in great detail why you need a Ditto to breed Sprigatito and you could have a point.
>>56524495Thanks anonAnyway, sorry for turning the shiny hunting thread into shiny hating Best of luck to the rest of you
>>56524507Fine, you got me thereI have better things to do nowEnjoy your reddit gold or whatever
>>56524522>I have better things to do nowlmoa, if you actually tried to MM anything, your time is worthless
>>56514859>deleted OP imageUh-oh, looks like someone got banned.
Ok this is epic
>>56524783smart pumpkin
>>56524783Big brain gourd
Shine you cunt!
>>56524401you'll get it eventually, i believe in you i've had some long egg hunts but i rarely do them because i think masuda method is fucking boring
>>56524401I didn't give up after nearly 6k eggs for my Eevee, so I don't think I have a limit. However, it's good to take breaks if you feel burned out.
>>565257232k for Treecko is the longest egg hunt I've ever had, which is honestly pretty good if I'm being honest but it felt like a slog at the time. 6k must have been hellish
*sparkles*
Finally got a ground toad and snake but this rock jellyfish refuses to play nice
>>56524401I never quit when breeding for a shiny.
They added the shield dog shiny and the galar bird shinies to GO today. Just keeping you guys in the loop. Shield is in raids, birds are exclusive to your free daily incense.
Anybody wants a shiny Groudon? LF shiny Latios (also dont have SwSh so i cant hunt any other shiny legends)
>>56528798Your BDSP?Your 3DS games?Your DS games?
>>56528878Dont have BDSP, for 3ds i only have Y, Sun and Alpha Saphire, no ds games
>>56528902It's extremely simple to homebrew a 3ds. Then you can download the ROMs of any game you want and play them for free. And while you're at it, if you have a Homebrew 3ds, you can just inject any pokemon you want into a game and transfer them from Bank to Home.

>>56529251I still hate myself for not nabbing both this and Lunala from their event with Cherish Balls
>>56529251Looks like we both got ultra luck today
Can anyone confirm if these points about the DPPt Poké Radar are correct? There is a surprising amount of false info regarding this thing.>the Radar tries to generate 4 rustling patches of grass in 4 squares of tiles around your character>these patches can be rustling either quietly, violently or be shiny. Special encounters (Poké Radar-only, Trophy Garden, swarm,(?) dual-slot, etc.) can only be encountered in violently rustling grass>these patches have 28%, 48%, 68% and 88% chance to continue your chain respectively (closest to furthest)>having caught the previous encounter adds a 10% bonus to this chance, but ONLY if you do not reroll the next rustling patches of grass>taking a patch on an edge or corner tile adds a separate chance for your chain to break due to the Radar trying to generate all 4 rustling grass patches on non-grass tiles>going from an encounter on a violent patch to a quiet patch (or vice versa) has a high chance of breaking your chain (100% if it's a special encounter)>if a given patch is set to break your chain, it has a 50% chance of changing rustling type (which means a fail chance on the 4th row is more like 6% or 1% with the catch bonus if you avoid opposite types)>after chain 40, your shiny patch chance is maxed out and you can just avoid any more regular encounters and keep rerolling for shiny patches>a shiny patch will always try to continue your chain, and it can only fail due to edge/corner tilesSo...>always stick to the same rustling grass type after the first encounter>always take the 4th row after the first encounter, no exceptions. If it's not there or opposite type, reroll>taking a rustling edge tile might be preferable to rerolling if it means keeping the 10% bonus. If you don't have the bonus or the tile is particularly bad, these should be rerolled>if you're extremely patient, avoiding shiny patches on edge/corner tiles means you can just keep rerolling until your repels run out and fill boxes with shinies
been trying to get a mist drifter shiny sinistchaimpossible
>>56530013This is all correct. Also, the likelyhood of edge grass breaking your chain must be really small, I got lousy after chaining the first 5 routes and it still hasn't broken a chain for me once, but you might end up with fewer grasses, ao it's often a choice between "do i want the 99% sucess rate on this encounter or on the next" if the only correct grass square is by the edge since you'll be rerolling either way.Also, it appears that upon shaking, the grass is marked as either "chain" or "not chain". "Not chain" grass still has a chance to generate the pokemon you are chaining but it will break the chain regardless. All your takeaways are essentially correct.
>>56530810I can’t even tell them apart up close, let alone in the mist lol
>>56530822Thanks for your insight, anon. A lot of the guides seem to gloss over this important caveat of the 10% bonus being removed on rerolls, which crippled my earlier hunts pretty badly. (because I was avoiding edge tiles like the plague)I've seen 3 chains die seemingly due to edge tiles so far (I still encountered the correct Pokémon in these cases) but it's nothing compared to those random 6% breaks from rerolls.
>>56530858you just count if theres 15 or 16 spawned
>>56531088How does that work, is there just an extra spawn if there’s a shiny? I guess since it’s a ghost you could just wait until it’s day and then you’d just have to wait for a single spawn.
>>56531122Yeah normally theres only 15 pokemon at the same time spawned but if theres shiny its 16
>>56530915Something else I forgot to add that most sources forget: you can leave the grass field and the chain won't break(despite what some guides claim). However, if the grass patches generate too close to one side, you must stay closer to that side of the grass patch while rerolling, because it's very easy to step too far while recharging the radar, especially in larger fields of grass (happened to me a lot in Trophy Garden)
On the topic of DPPt Pokeradar, I did some testing on Pt for fun to check out how it determines the pokemon, and an interesting thing I noticed was that the odds of encountering the favorable pokemon don't seem to work as intended. I have been able to get the pokemon I was chaining 40 times in a row by entering the nearest grass of the same shake type, often being the one directly next to me multiple times. I am fairly certain that the 28%, 48%, 68% and 88% are real, and datamined, but I wonder if they actually do work as intended, or perhaps are glitched somehow and default to the highest one, with grass type/capturing pokemon being the only factors that determine the end result.It could also be a confirmation bias but I tested it multiple times on multiple chains and the odds of closest and farthest grass patch breaking the chain seemed about the same. If anyone wants to do some testing to verify this, I'm curious about the results. It could be an emulation issue too, I suppose. It's just odd.
>>56531785Wouldn't be too surprising, Platinum has a lot of weird bugs and many have only been properly documented recently. I might do some testing on real hardware next time I hunt.I did notice Cute Charm actually works properly on shiny patches and gives you a Pokémon with a normal nature/IV spread, unlike regular encounters which are completely borked.
>>56531232Ok that was fast.
>>56531855Something I'd like to test is if the shinyness is determined in the moment of grass shake. The frame on which you enter the shaking grass can actually impact the pokemon species or it's stats/nature (but not whether it continues chain or not, that is determined at the grass shake). I don't think I've heard of any cases of someone getting a chain shiny from a non shiny grass, but then again the odds are very small even if it were possible. I was thinking of trying to RNG manipulate it into happening, but I am not quite familiar, and it's possible the pokeradar alters the frames in abnormal way, and I don't see why anyone doing RNG manip would specifically use the Radar since eggs/regular encounters are easier to do, so it might remain unknown for the time being.
>>56531882I meant for regular grass of course, it's naturally determined for the shiny grass at the moment it shakes
>>56531882If I understand what you’re asking, you cannot get a ‘chain shiny’ from non-shaking grass. There is a difference in a shiny of the same species that is part of the chain but not a chain shiny (if you mean one that was forced shiny by the radar). You’ll find info about this in rng guides but not relating to maniping it to happen but that the shinies that are forced to be shiny by the radar cannot be used to find your secret ID in the way a shiny found through radar in a non-shiny grass patch can. Additionally, shinies that are part of the chain (such as cute charm shinies) won’t show as shiny patches, just regular patches. Not sure we’re using the exact same terminology the same way, but I think that answers what you wanted to know.
Oh, right.I got this little bud 3 days ago.Didn't count how many soft resets I did, but I think it was less than 2000
>>56531947Congrats, shiny Celebi is gorgeous. I wish I had one I could use in Switch games, she'd be a perma slot on my team.
>>56531882The normal 1/8192 chance still applies to regular rustling grass. This guy seems to have acquired a shiny Roselia this way:https://youtu.be/bm_lfsu2KEU?si=RzzyaAuq-Bgl-MeD&t=1260
>>56531961Thank you, and I hope you can get one in the future.
GOmmunity day
>>56532450Bro what the fuck is even different about a Leavanny shiny
>>56532450>Haven't gotten a single shiny dog>Get this before hitting the CD halfway markThis game is mocking me.
>>56532897>she invested into BIG InteleonMore seriously:Community odds are busted and you go through way more encounters.So it's not really comparable.
Hopefully this will make things easier
>>56532931Sure but this is also obscenely busted results by my standards, my average for a full CD is 2-4 shinies. I'm tripling that this time.
>>56532965I got my dog right before community day started and then got 11 sewaddle in the first half hourOdds are fun
I got a shiny lechonk trying to finish my pokedex. I feel nothing.
>>56533036That's how it should be
After changing the date for 20 minutes and staying where they respawn + grass sandwitch, I could'nt get a treecko outbreak.I decided to grind a bulbasaur one and I got a XXL one, I expect Venusaur to be bigger.
>>56533092But it's my first ever shiny. Been playing since I was a kid with leaf green....
>>56533114Why did you use repels and tried to skip every grass?
>>56533118Because...... I wanted to beat the games.
400 encounters of Yamask in my Sword shiny badge quest and I only just realised that the brilliant encounters can have Memento because it's an egg move.Thank god I noticed this now. Gonna bring a Dark type so it can't do that later.
>>56533123
>>56533130Oh yeah Yamask. I always wanted to get them both. Thanks for inspiration.
>>56533165Hope you get them if you decide to. Both of them are cool. I decided to target this one specifically instead of just everything in the route like I did for the first three shinies in this run.
>>56533130>>56533165fuck, i've been meaning to go after both forms too, but i already have a small bunch of shinies i want to get after vanillite (BW shuckle, XY furfrou and USUM minior, i guess also BW slowpoke and poliwag but water encounters are slower) and i'm already using two devices with the second being a blaze black 2 pichu that i picked back up and i'm bad at anything over 2 so galarian yamask will have to wait too.
Do you have any shiny Curry Connoisseur pokemon from Sword and Shield?You did like going camping with your team, right?
>>56533468I have no experience with that. Quick rundown?
>>56533537After you cook curry when you are camping with your pokemon there is a small chance a pokemon will show up in your camp.You can catch them, but they unaffected by the shiny charm. So it's always full odds.The better the curry you make, the higher odds a pokemon will show up.
>>56531966Oh that's correct, I even watched this video and forgot about it. Thanks
>>56533560>>56533537Additionally each pokemon has it's own 'sociability' stat which's value increases every time they eat curry. The party needs to have a certain amount of sociability spread all across it for pokemon to appear at all, This scales with party number, meaning that you can easily get an encounter with just one pokemon, but if you have one pokemon that eats curry a lot and 5 that were never fed curry you won't get an encounter with full party but you will get an encounter with the pokemon alone in the party.
>>56533130Thats why i used taunt flame bird to hatch eggs
Anotha one
does anyone know if how far you get in the ultra space wormhole has any effect on the shiny chance of ultra beasts? And is it determined when you arrive?
>>56533904Legendaries and ultra beasts are always normal odds or shiny charm odds, distance doesnt matter. Its determined when the battle starts so you just reset before it.
>>56533939based, thank you for the info
>not a single shiny in over 200 dynamax adventuresowari da...
>>56533977Skill issue. Should have installed PKHeX.
>>56533977Gotta get your shiny charm
>>56534074I have it
is it possible to tell the sinistea forms apart in HOME?
>>56534330In Home mobile, yes. Because you can look at the 3d model.
>>56534379I've tried to skew it but I can only rotate it and the attack animations don't quite show the underside where I can tell.. Am I doing it wrong?
Will they ever release the shiny box legendaries for Scarlet/Violet?
>>56534810iirc you can zoom in battle with one of the shoulder buttons but not sure if it would help you pinpointing the mark, could try and see if it helps you
>>56534827Probably as store event like last time with the doggos, worst case both as event distro during a future Worlds before PLZA
So dumb you can’t view Home by marks/ribbons only or something like that.
>>56534827Fuck that I want my sandwich Koraidon transferable to HOME.
>>56534810Find the pokemon in Home Mobile.Click on their name to show the dex entry.Click on the Pikachu head on the top, and it will show you the 3d model of the pokemon.
>>56534827Probably an event in a year or so then in GO raids a few years after. I am worried the days of shiny legendary hunting in the main games are over, but hopefully I'm wrong.
>>56535295I still have hopes for regular legendaries in mainlines but SV felt like a slap in the face with all those locks. Mythicals are the real losing endeavor that will keep falling off the road, that is unless you nab them from GO but that doesn't fully satisfy my balltism
>>56535253based, thanks a bunch
>>56536136No problem.
Simply fascinating. All you folks in this thread spend countless hours and an excess of thought and energy into hunting made up digital concepts, gambling your time away for a short rush of dopamine. Playing your own different game within an RPG series made for children. Humans are so fickle. Assigning values to ideas and objects simply because you say so. In a way, real life money and cash are the virtually the same, menial ideas assigned an abstract value for which we slave aways our lives within the game of society. Shiny Pokemon hunting is simply a game within a game within a game, within a crueler game of biological life. Hunting for food and warmth and sexual gratification. If Nintendo released a new game tomorrow and announced "in this game every Pokémon encounter is shiny, 100% chance" would you buy it?
>56536255not responding to furry fetish art
>>56536260I don't even have time to read all that.Must hunt.
is there a way to tell a shiny mark in pokemon home?
>>56535490Don't fucking remind me. I need to do Mew, Celebi, Deoxys, Manaphy and Shaymin hunts. Maybe Jirachi if Channel corruption isn't TOO bad.
>>56537031Let me know if you're able to do it. I want to be dere on da scene.
>>56537031I have a spare shiny mew and Jirachi if you want to trade
>>56536744bump
>>56537377I have mine but they are Go pokemon.And for some reason folks think shinys are lesser if they are from Go.Lastest catch for me was this Dedennee
>>56537621Why did you catch 147 dedenne?
>>56537621I hate that they have the Go label in S/V's boxes, that just feels like an unnecessary mark of shame. To me Go shinies are nice because they're a way to acquire shinies for stuff you either can't or don't have the time to hunt.
>>56537625Cause the game is about catching, and I am convinced like in Let's Go P&E catch number increases the shiny catch rate algo.
>>56537628Indeed I am currently working on Shiny Shaymin, who would be next to impossible for me to aquire otherwise.And eventually Go will be at the point Even the mainline games can't do.Have shiny mythicals that are literally impossible to have otherwise like S. Victini, or other later Gen mythical. Currently they have released the Shiny S&S Legendaries which you only got through special mystery giftcodes.
>>56537621>>56537628>>56537646Go shinys aren't worth anything because PoGo is a soulless cash grab that is shameless out to milk its fanbase for as much money as they can. And they can't even try and hide.https://x.com/PokemonGoApp/status/1842203161806729426>Do you want free stuff? Just pay us for the event ticket.And of course, the fact that Ninatic is run by mindless hordes of woke retards doesn't help.
>>56537673If you wanted me to take this seriously you should probably not type it like a demented freak and attach a ragebait webm that I have no reason to care about.
>>56537673(You)
>>56537677>>56537683It's okay, no one cares if retards take something seriously or not.
>>56537673Okay.So do you remember what you were doing when you were shiny hunting alone, in the dark soft resetting over and over again.Meanwhile I was actually doing other things having experiences. For instance this one I was out with my friends out having a good time in the waning light of a summer day after coming from a restaurant.They where excited to see it since I was one of the first to get all the tasks done.Those are real memories that transcend just the Shiny hunt.
>>56537703Most people shiny hunt while they are doing other things. This is a hand held game franchise. >having experiencesAnd those experiences include giving up your dignity to play PoGo.
>>56537715>Dignity He said on the chans.As the kids day, cope, ya dope.
>>56537703I do most of my SRs during boring work calls or while watching shows...
>>56537725You're literally the cancer that is killing this site. Because you genuinely believe this place is for acting badly on purpose.>dayYou're literally just retarded. And likely obese. Which is why you fat finger keys that are next to each other.
>>56537737Still coping.Just stop, and save your "dignity".
>>56537747>if i keep repeating myself and saying the same wrong thing over and over that means i winHmmm, I wonder who this could be. Totally not the OP who's currently ban evading.
please don't start this shit again, you two
>>56537756Now paranoia.Go touch grass.
>>56537774Not my fault he started shitposting and screeching "cope" over and over again.>>56537775It's just so obvious who you are.
>>56537798Who am I?Or rather, who do you think I am?
>>56537798it is your fault if you keep replying to himit takes two people to fight, retard
>>56537816>it takes two people to fightWhat about the schizo samefagging to pretend people still reply to him?
>>56537828report and ignore.simple as.
I am going back outside where people actually can still talk to each other.Sociopathic sad wastes.
>>56536744>>56538031The fuck do you mean by shiny mark?You could just look.Or filter for shinieness in the search options.
Shhh, the walls have eyes.Eyes on the inside.Fear the Old Blood!
>>56538044https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/marks.shtml
>>565380604K SRs, oof
>>56538044>>56538127sorry if I wasn't clear before, I'm unfamiliar with the mechanic and only know of it since a friend was asking if I had any
>>56538060Congrats anon, I like staka it has a really good shiny.
It's been 4 or 5 hours worth of lv3 egg sandwiches since my last shiny hatched
https://x.com/PokemonGoApp/status/1843274141882831169>November GOmmunity day is MonkeyI guess
Holy fucking shit I just found my first ever shiny holy shit
>>56539934There was just a mankey spotlight…
>>56540359I'm sorry to say anon that's just how it normally looks. You've just been color blind all your life. Joking of course congrats on your shiny anon, I hope you know that you now have to add him to the team.
>>56540359Cute piggy
A hoonter must hoont, even in a dream...>>56538130No need to worry. Let chance do what it does.
>>56540482You won't fool me I saw the sparksWill have to do, although I feel bad for the leafeon I've had for the whole game, he'll just have to spectate the elite 4 match
Awoo~
>>56540730IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!!!! I guess I'm happy for you though.
>>56538216bump
>>56540359I like that one certainly better than my xerneas. Hope you caught it
I DID IT BROS, I FOUND THE SHINY LITTEN!!! I am not sure about the next target, maybe grubbin
>>56541670Never give up
I need 3-4 Blueberry (non-starters) to hunt so I can do the story quest once I finish getting my egg on
>>56541983Minior-IndigoMinior-VioletMinior-BlueMinior-Green>>56541580You can see ribbons and marks in the mobile app,but filtering for them is of course no possible.
>>56542217do the shiny minior colors count as individual forms? iirc in USUM just the shiny covered all the forms, similar to alcremie
>>56542277It tells you the original color so kinda
>>56542217How do I know which outbreak is which???
>>56542284fuuuuuck. This is going to make hunting it a pain
>be me two weeks ago>get a 10 quilava outbreaks with second wave alpha typh’s>do all 94 permutations at 3 am on friday because work off>no shiny alpha>do the outbreaks >not even a shiny quilava>be me last sunday>another 10 quilava outbreak woth alpha spawns>crank out all 94 permutations in one day long binge>again nothing>mind you with charm and perfect dex entry>1316 Typhlosions at 1/217 odds>get off work tonight and remember I could check my misfortune with a geometric series sum>~99.3% chance I should have it by nowNot my longest hunt time wise but almost certainly one of the unluckiest
>>56514859I got a shiny Ekans in SS, it was on an emulator though
>>56542752I got like 20 in go if you want one toImport lol
>>56542779I’m unfortunately mega autismic about this hunt since I have all the other starters as alpha shinies from PLA and also got shiny alphas of dartrix/dewott/quilava to evolve into their regular forms as alpha shinies so I can have a cursed team of all six starters fully evolved all with the alpha title
>>56542793Did you know you can get shiny normal Typhlosion, Decidueye, and Samurott from distortions? And I believe if you catch the preevo forms in one, they’ll evolve into their standard form.
>>56542885
>>56542885Did you know that if you suck a dude's cock but say "no homo" afterwards that it's not actually gay.
>next target is alolan digglet>"oh well i just wait until verdant cavern">adrenaline orb is not out for sale until you clear 3 trials>false swipe is a reward for beating hala>no pokepelago until kiaweI fucking hate Alola
>>56542752Alright. Not my main target but I saw an alpha wave pop up. Alpha from the fifth permutation. Neat.
>>56544771Alola understands and offers you an hour long unskippable story set piece as peace offer.
>>56544840back in the bag, nebby!
>>56544892That’s actually Fwoofy.
>>56540730I finally got one, but I'd like a second because I hate having the shinydex entry in GO without having the shiny in there, yes I'm an autist.
>>56520860Evolve your crobat bro.
Have you guys ever found a shiny in the safari zone?
>>56546650Yeah. Was my first shiny ever too. Gave me a heart attack, and it was when I was visiting my friend so they were cheering for me with every ball until I finally captured him.
>>56546650yes last week, it was a paras and it fled. I just wanted a lucky egg though. Glad the shiny chancey meme didn't happen to me at least.
hey guys what's the best way to hint for Alpha pokemon?I already completed the dex to fight/catch arceus and Im less than 20 mons away to level10 every single pokedex entry, so whats next?
>>56547972You mean hunt for shiny alphas? You can either just fly and check the static spawn in the map, do the outbreak static reset or permutation hunt.
>>56547978yeah,Im starting my shiny Alpha living dex, what I do is:>check if X area has massive outbreaks>go in there and save>pay munchlax to see the rare spawns and check other interesting non rare ones>reset game to get back my berries>visit the spawns>pray>after no more outbreaks are left I visit all the stationary alphasas an extra I hit max Galaxy rank ages ago but Im not sure if that or Dex completion has an effect on shiny rates
>>56546650Thank u for the excuse to repost my beloved Gorp
>>56546650I did a cute charm playthrough of platinum once, so yes

Do you guys know how shiny hunting version exclusives in S/V works? Specifically, its my birthday tomorrow and I wanted to try hunting a shiny with the Destiny mark, but it's exclusive to the version I don't own. I know you can see spawns from other peoples games in multiplayer, but I'm not sure if you can spawn marks that are based on your own birthday.
>>56546650I found a female Nidoran in my FireRed like 7 years ago. Thankfully it didn't run, but I don't remember if it was caught in the first ball or not.
>>56549424Pretty sure it doesnt work since its the other guy spawning it
>>56549537That's unfortunate. I can't believe they made my favorite pokemon a version exclusive... its over...
30 boxes of the gay duck eggs for nothing and I’m still going. This is what I deserve for two Fuecocos in 20 boxes.
https://github.com/zaksabeast/XY-All-Friend-Safaris-PatchI didn't know this existed
>>56551582Das pretty fucking neato
Lugia anon reporting in, decided to take a week off resetting the bird to work on my pokedex (want to get to 150 on the save so that I can easily transfer around PS2 to organise some of my future rental pokemon) and had no lucky shinies in that time. Going to resume the hunt this weekend, do people think I should start actually keeping count now or am I too deep in to bother (by my estimate I've done about 6,000 soft resets in the three phases of Lugia hunting I've done on this cart, but I didn't bother to count soft resets, just battery changes)?
>Playing Pokemon compass (Scarlet @ Violet) mod>Pokemon show up on stat screen as shiny>Use PKHeX to check IV and change some small things>Pokemon no longer show up shiny on stat screenBaka moement.
How painful is the Crystal Celebi hunt?
>>56552734Very painful
>>56552734Time yourself with one whole SR from beginning to end then multiply that by some 10 or 12K attempts give or take
Just got an extra shiny fire paldean Tauros on Scarlet, anybody willing to trade a shiny water paldean tauros from Violet for it?
>>56546650I was messing around with the cute charm glitch in HG and found a Magneton. Took a bit to realise that it was actually legit.
>>56552734I finally got it a few weeks ago after hunting it on and off since Crystal VC released. The biggest pain is having to mash a so much every reset.
>>56552736>>56552741>>56552961No time like the present I guess. Also I forgot I SR'd for a shiny Cyndaquil when it came out and that was the most painful hunt I've done yet so this will be worse.
>>56552734Personally I'd say it's actually less painful than any of the switch games for SR hunting at leastThe resets are so quick that the full odds aren't horrible
Shadow Shiny acquired.
>>56553127I need to play more so i can have a chance.
shine!
>>56542752In the time it has taken to find another alpha Quilava or Typhlosion outbreak I have found two alpha shiny unown and the zoroark. It’s starting to eat my sanity
>>56554461Complain and you shall receiveResults tomorrow I’m too tired to try tonight
Got the gay duck, time for Phione then deciding if I want to breed a female weed cat while getting the last few violet shinies I want.
After a week of doing Dynamax Adventures non-stop from the moment I wake to the time I go to sleep I got 2 whole shinies to show for it and neither is a legendaryIt might not be worth it after all
>>56552734In and out. Twenty minute adventure.
found out about RNG manipulation and the cute charm glitch the other day, this is the best thing everI am gonna get so many shinies. I got a shiny Totodile by soft resetting on HG a few days ago, I was lucky and it didn't take long but now that I found out about this I think I will re-do it so I can get an Adamant one instead and a shiny Growlithe, toovery excited bros
>>56555657Cool, you can be even faster with other cheating techniques
>>56555664>cheating lol seethe, it's perfectly legal and fun
>>56555668Exploiting a flaw in your 3DS to run custom code is not that different from exploiting flaws in the game.It's literally the same thing.
>>56555669yeah expect you're not running custom code so it's not literally the same thing at allnot that I care either way, I am gonna be having so much fun with this
>>56555676>she's not using ACE to get her shiniesweak
>>56555676>It's similar>But it's not the same so it's not similarSome people are really just on here to argue, aren't they?
>>56555684>It's literally the same thing.
>>56555694I MEANT ITS LITERALLY SIMILAR!!!!
>>56555709PRNG is not even a flaw in the game, it's just how the game is meant to be run
>>56555720I doubt rng manipulation was intended as opposed to an unexpected side effect of how the game runs. I don't give a shit myself though. I just saw this post on the front page. Sometimes I use pksm on my 3ds and get a shiny in 1 second then post a pic in these threads for a laugh though.
>>56555720>it's just how the game is meant to be runsame for ACE and Luma3DS desu
>>56555732>I doubt rng manipulation was intendedI meant them making the game run using PRNG and having everything being determined by certain stuff on each file was perfectly intended >unexpected side effectit's not unexpected at all, when you know everything is being run like that, you know it's always pre-determined and possible for someone to calculate it exactlyperhaps what was not intended and unexpected was people actually spending hours upon hours studying this stuff and reverse engineering it so they can actually do the calculations needed >>56555735ACE in pretty interesting
>>56555758>I meant them making the game run using PRNG and having everything being determined by certain stuff on each file was perfectly intendedYeah, a game company not solving fundamental computer hardware limitations clearly points to intention by the devs
>>56555767yeah that's pretty much how it worksanyway, gonna go have fun with my shines now, can't wait to try that shit on gen 3 games too
>>56555657Good for you, RNG gets spat on here but it's good fun as well. I am gonna RNG Jirachi on my childhood copy of Channel soon, then the only awkward shiny I have left is Manaphy. Debating whether to RNG or ACE it
>>56555960Ask reddit.
I don't really care if people cheat to get shinies but I don't think it belongs in these threads. You're not exactly 'hunting' anything if you're abusing the RNG or joining the shiny twitch raids.
>>56556018it's the very definition of hunting, you're simply also pinpointing its "exact" location for more accuracy which is exactly what hunters in most types of hunt do
>>56556033There's no hunting because it's a guarantee. It's more like going into a grocery store and buying the neatly packed venison then claiming you 'hunted' it.
Hot take:Shitposting about mental gymnastics and cheating justifications is more fun than>>56523591>>56524334
>>56556052>it's a guaranteemost of the time you will still need a few resets and calibration to land on the correct seedby the same logic blind soft resetting is a guarantee too because you know there's an 100% chance that sometime you're gonna land on the correct seed/frame, it will simply take longer
>>56556058>soft resetting is a guaranteeThat's not how it works.While improbable, it is entirely possible to never get shit to shine
>>56556058Once you get the hang of it you hardly need more than two resets per pokemon. There's really no chance. As long as you follow the exact steps, you know when exactly you'll get the encounter. You're basically walking into a grocery store knowing the venison will be there and you can acquire it as long as you walk for 5 minutes to get there.So yeah, if you call grocery shopping 'hunting', then by all means this is hunting too.
>>56556060>it is entirely possible to never get shit to shinehow exactly? as far as I know any pokemon is programmed to eventually be RNGed as shiny in the game and those who aren't you can't get with RNG manipulation either>>56556062I see it more like as using some tracking device to track down a deer in the forest almost immediately instead of going into the forest multiple times hoping the deer will be there for you to kill, both are hunting, first one is just faster
>>56556076>how exactly?RNG abuser confirmed to not understand probability, more as the story unfolds
>>56556092nah it's just means you either gave up too early or you died too early for it to happen which is entirely your own skill issue
>>56556076>any pokemon is programmed to eventually be RNGed as shiny in the gameYes, but no. It's programmed to have certain shiny frames it appears on. If you're not manipulating your RNG it's entirely possible to completely miss these frames 1 000 000 resets in a row. Unlikely, but possible.>I see it more like as using some tracking device to track down a deer in the forest almost immediately instead of going into the forest multiple times hoping the deer will be there for you to kill, both are hunting, first one is just fasterAt most it's going into a slaughterhouse where they lead a tied up deer up for you to get the thrill of the kill
>>56556100>At most it's going into a slaughterhouse where they lead a tied up deer up for you to get the thrill of the killwrong, my example was much, much closer to how it actually is
>>56556107Ok
>>56556107Following the signs and/or asking an employee at the grocery store where to find your shiny fits best as analogy
>>56556122>>56556107
>>56555694Functionally. Improve your reading comprehension. Not the guy you argued with btw.
>>56556126How are you finding your shiny seeds?Is it experience gained through doing the process multiple times or asking something?
>>56556131>Is it experience gained through doing the process multiple timesit's this one
>>56556133So you are not using aids like Pokefinder or Eon Timer?
>>56556139no I can calculate everything in my head
>>56556140If you are so smart, why act like a retard?
>not full odds shinyget out
I think I gonna shiny hunt a totodile in Indigo disk
Back to me then, For those who don't know or are too new please post or link to a shiny you recently caught so that I may use it as the OP image for the new thread. I will try not use repeats and remember first come, first serve.
