Wide they trivialize shinies?
>>56934237>shiny lock>distributionthere's no inbetween
>>56934237It’s been so since gen 6At this rate nobody gives a fug anymore
>>56934237PLA killed shinies
>>56934237IS THAT A SHIIIIIIIIIIINYYYYYYYYYY? ...and IT'S BIG, LONG, AND BLAAAAAAACK??? oh my goodness, my wife will simply LOVE this!
>>56934268They've been dead since gen 6
>>56934237because plass made GF realize that Pokémon with shitty recolors make for a more profitable postgame than battle facilities
>>56934274Kek
>>56934268good thing all pla shinies are whortless thanks to the home ball
>>56934274lmao
>>56934274Shut up Sharty
>>56934237Because shinies have no inherent value.
>>56934237no, wide guard
>>56934237>>56934251Yeah they've NEVER done anything like this before
>>56934405
>>56934405>>56934408shit, you can go back even further. the GSC distribution machines in pokémon centers at the time had a chance of feeding you a shiny legendary
If everyone is going to hack their pokemon anyway they might as well make them as easy to get for everyone as it is for the hackersIf everyone has it, then it’s fair
I’m fine with them running shiny events, but this should be a 7* boss raid. I was just giving credit to SV for having more boss event raids, and they decide to make the swan song SV event an easy 5* raid
Because gatekeeping something like this is stupid as fuck. >>56935924What's even the minimum level requirements for it anyway?
How long does this last? I haven't played SV in ages, don't even think I finished it.
>>56934237Too many fags that complain about never getting a full odds shiny probablyI don't really get it since most shinies don't even look good, their sole appeal is being rare. If they're not rare, why bother
>>56934268They were dead when they launched into an era of time that also had these things sold in the same shops as the games.
>>56934237Because it's a fun event around Christmastime.
>>56935924A) Who says it's the swansong, every 7* event has ran with the proviso it may be offered again and with about 2 years until gen 10's release and L: Z-A likely being a single player special like L: A was, there's every chance they re-run the past 7* for the rest of the time available. Or shit, add new ones, no cunt expected Mighty Mewtwo OR Mighty Mew nor Mighty Iron Bundle. but we got them anyway.B) They want people, especuially kids, to actually catch this cunt without needing to jump hoops or party up just to do so. Leaving it a 5* means you don't even need one the best raid countermons just to beat it. Just need to not be a retard, but something tells me that'd still be a high bar for you to clear.
>>56935958From December 17th to January 5th. It'll be available after you finish the Area Zero mission.
>>56936131That's not too bad then, appreciate it anon. I'll have to finally get on finishing the game. Maybe I can stomach it running at 10fps and playing like dog water half the time.
>>56936136Alright then have a good day
>>56936165You too anon, godspeed.
>>56934237>Hunt Star shiny Raqyuaza from SwSh>Too lazy to hunt Square shiny>It gets distro'd with my OT and ball choiceNoice
>>56936175There's no square particle effects in SV anyway
>>56934313>alpha shiny blocks your pathyou will never have a meaningful shiny, chud.
>>56936175>>56936185Event shinies are always square effect btw.
>>56936131>>56936136Oh shit oh shit I was wrong it starts on December 20th and you need to do a sidequest that involves rematching all the gym leaders in the post game.
>>56934237Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude when the fuck are they doing the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves raids again? I missed out on them.
>>56934237Shinies were worthless at their inception, both because of event distributions that have always existed, and because of how shininess was initially determined.
>>56937840Wait I'm stupid. You CAN join the Rayquaza raids online before you even finish the main story.
>>56934237Shinies have been trivialized since the very beginning.>cheat devices>Shiny Breeding in Gen 2>RNG Abuse in Gen 3>Cute Charm Glitch, PokeRadar and Masuda in Gen 4>Shiny Charm in Gen 5>PokeRadar returns, Chain Fishing, grinding Horde Battles (5 rolls per battle!), Friend Safari, Shiny Odds universally boosted in XY>DexNav in ORAS>SOS Farming in SMUSUM>Overworld Shininess in LGPE (wouldn't become standardized until PLA onward)>Dynamax Adventures in SWSH>"Something good happens" in the Grand Underground in BDSP>sound cue and Mass Outbreaks in PLA>Sandwiches and camp spawning/despawning abuse in SV
>>56937945Oh, and the grand daddy of Shiny Invalidation, GO's welfare shinies.
>>56934237Because cucking Shinyfags is 100% deserved>duuude but I put in so much effort reseting 1000 times to have this alternate color scheme >:oI respect Ribbon Masters* more because at least the legit ones go therough way more crap that is also harder to fake given the amount* of games and different challenges to go through.Never seen a SINGLE poketuber whore around a ribbon master like shinies they also trivialize do!*you kind of get screwed on gen8 onward mons for ribbons though
>>56934276Gen 5, that's when the shiny locks started.
>>56934237This isn't even the first time shiny Rayquaza was given out. We've known this event was coming since the very start of Horizons.
>>56937945>comparing cheating with legit methodsGen 3 has the lowest odds if you're not being a retard faggot.
>>56934274Krillin...
>>56934237Because dumb poketubers ruined it for us
>>56934237Wait, are they ACTUALLY gonna let us catch it? This isn't some Shiny Zeraora bullshit where they just cockteased people?
>>56938373>Shiny Rayquaza will appear in 5-star Tera Raid Battles at Tera Raid crystals, so use this opportunity to take on Rayquaza and welcome it into your team of adventuring companions.The official website says absolutely, so I'd say expect some raids for other Shiny Locked Pokemon, especially SV's legendaries, as we draw closer to Gen 10 in 2026.
>>56936185Ah, but autism is forever
>>56936273>m-muh dead one-off gimmickLOL
>>56938152You'd never know if someone cheated a shiny or not. And there's plenty of glitches in gens 2 & 3 to force shinies.
>>56937945So you're telling me Black/White are the only true games for raw shiny hunting, thanks
>>56939497BW had RNG abuse guides, so no.
>>56939505What if I just choose not to do that that?
>>56939254>doesn't have a sought after alpha shinycant relate
>>56938373they give you a shiny zeraora, what's your point?
>>56934237>trivialize>A special event ???
>>56938126Not really comparable. Gyarados was the poster boy of the newly introduced mechanic at the time, so they gave you one for you to seek more of them.
i already have a shiny fug from a japanese gen 5 event. and another from a worldwide oras eventi am getting stronger
>>56939666I caught one while trying to fill out a gen 3 all-pokeball living dex.Now I can get one in a matching ball.
>>56939684>all pokeball living dexHuh? I have ballistic so I'm interested
>>56939760It's simple, I caught everything in a regular pokeball. Except for the Kanto Safari mons, they all got Safari Balls so I could prove I didn't breed them. And Latios got a great ball because I got impatient and don't want to play through Sapphire.
>>56939771>regular pokebalAh ah I see. I thought "all pokeball" meant you caught each poke in each kind of bal lol. Cool challenge
>>56934405>>56934408At least you actually had to go out into the community to fetch those ones.
>>56939790Colosseum takes too long for that.
