Post about your shiny hunts, past or future
I just went for Iron Valiant, managed to get two of them in a single sandwich so I'm pretty happy!
Any suggestions on what to hunt next?

I think theyre your base odds, so 1/4096, or whatever the shiny charm odds are these days (1/1048?)

Raids not affected by Shiny Charm if memory serves.

Been doing DA for Lugia, I'm a little over odds now, should shine soon but I was due for a hunt to go way over odds since my last 3 legendaries have come 40~ runs, 1 run, and 40~ runs respectively.

>>58205438
Well, I said that and got Lugia 3 raids after posting. Complaining about hunts is definitely the way to go.
Now Zekrom and Palkia(awful) are next.

Yeah I hate running into the tiny shinies. I don’t want them, I just want regular sized shinies.

At some point I will, but I plan on taking a break after Null for quite a while.

Ough

I think they're very slightly over base odds but if you got it online it may have been an RNG manipulated one.

Got these two from an outbreak today. Both are XXS. Could trade one away if anyone wants it. Second one showed up just before my sandwich buff expired.

Holy fuck just clutched a shiny Yanmega in a raid, even got it in a matching great ball

Anyone have extra/duplicate shinies in SV they would like to trade?
I have a male and female Snorunt, 2 Heal Ball Jumpluff, 2 Pawmi, a few Dudunsparce 2-segment, and a few Lapras.

Numel is more of a subtle shiny than I remember
The game’s different lightings doesn’t help it either when I’m looking for a dark teal vs a green

If it's that bad, invert the colours. IIRC, the blueish hue shows up better (yes I have inverted the colours to hunt things).

Out of curiosity, how much of a pain in the ass would it be to get an authentic form shiny one of these guys?
>>
>>58207814
It can spawn as Authentic outbreaks in SV, eat some ghost encounter 2 food, go to alfonrada then skip time backwards a minute at a time to roll outbreaks.
>>
>>58207826
You can just force the outbreak to be only authentics? I've seen outbreaks that were like male and female meowstics and indeedees but that extends to Poltegeist's forms too?
>>
>>58207653
Charizard Y will be better like it was in gen 6-7.
It's a better team player and hits harder, Charizard X struggles because it's a mixed attacker(due to stat distribution) and doesn't have the support options.

Can you get duskrock in SV?

Yeah, it can just spawn in the overworld, but only in the evening. It can spawn in 7* Tera Raids as well iirc.

better get a moon ball own tempo rockruff to shiny masuda hunt.
or are you even trying?

Yeah that's probably the better approach.


Unrelated, does anyone on Scarlet want to trade me an Auspicious Armor? I'd like to evolve my Shiny Charcadet. I'll give you the Malicious Armor in exchange if you want.

Ready now. Do you want the Malicious Armor in exchange or nah? Any preferences for Pokémon or just some shitmon?
>>58208778
Yeah, all from event outbreaks, which have stupidly high odds. There's one going on right now again for the Chi-Yu raid.
I find them super easy to spot once they face you because the blue eyes contrast so strongly with the red body.

over eight boxes into Finizen hunt. ive been MMing since X/Y came out in 2012. Scarlet/Violet are nigger tier slop dog shit. something is fucked up with the rates in this game. it was not this fucking miserable trying to breed for my shinies in X, Sun, Ultra Sun or Sword for me. I dont have the charm but I never had it in any of those games. I wish I had never bought this game.

sandwiches don't work for Masuda Method fucking RETARD
>>
>>58213082
stupid ass cracka nobody is forcing you to mm
>>
>>58213055
The only thing fucked up about MM is that SV fucked breeding so you can't acquire AND hatch eggs at the same time, it's substantially slower.
Sometimes MM just goes way over odds though, no way around it.

>see literally the first Numel that spawns
>"It looks kinda blue, wonder if it's just the lighting at night or a shiny"

Lol
>>58213055
I got one from an outbreak in less than 20 min, skill issue
>>
>doing DA for shiny Zekrom
>shows up in 13 captures
I'm so hilariously under odds for all the DA legendaries I've captured which now numbers 12. My average right now is probably 1/60 when odds is 1/100.
I must be transmuting my bad luck to someone in the world.
>>
>>58213252
I feel the same way, almost not believing the odds are what people say. But then i see some going 300+ for them
>>
>>58213262
The highest I've gone was 150 for Dialga.
That was a shitty hunt, but like the last 5 mons has been 40~ - 1 - 40~ - 112 - 13.
These are of course not including the random shiny shitmons I acquired during these hunts which I think numbered 4 or 5.
Palkia is next.
>>
>>58213269
After i got shiny Ho-Oh from it without charm in like 10 tries i knew it was going to be good
>>
>>58213667
I think I got Ho-oh in 20~
I grabbed the charm by just moving my almost complete living dex over.
>>
Can I safely charge my switch back up and transfer my violet save data over to a switch 2, been so worried about nintendo's fuck ups with my pokemon that aren't in home yet that I haven't bothered with shinies at all yet.
>>
>>58213801
Nothing can go wrong.
>>
>>58213801
Put your mons in home just to be safe.
I managed to keep them altogether.
I had so many MM shinies that I was certain I'd lost back when I used to let my Pokemon Bank sub lapse (sometimes for a year or more).
It's just safer if you're worried, playing through the game again is a small price when Pokemon transcend one entry in the franchise.
>>
>>58213807
>>58213813
Well that's the thing, I've already set the Switch 2 up, just never transferred at first. Thought the Switch had to be registered as in use first before I could use games with that account, I know the Switch 2 works like that, stupid as fuck, but whatever.

I guess I could just register it, charge it up, and transfer everything over finally. Would be a good idea considering the Pokedex is long since completed barring one Paradox mon I never bothered with.

>>
>>58214633

yep, right before 5k resets. It took four months. Shes sitting in Sword right now, debating using an Ability Patch to give her Regenerator
>>
>>58214636
iirc it doesn't "mark" it like a Mint or Bottle Cap does so you can freely switch abilities if you use a Capsule/Patch, just saiyan if you feel like it would taint it in your eyes
>>
>>58214631
>teammates still using rock/ground types in a rain team
when will they learn
>>
>>58214685
Ability patches do show on the GTS, so there is some kind of flag for it.
Same kind of flag that prevents patched mons from passing down the hidden ability.
>>
>>58215335
It does? Oh well, but which hidden abilities pass prevention are you talking about? Own Tempo Rockruff?
>>
>>58215380
No, if you breed a pokemon that has an ability patch it will not be able to pass it down.
Instead you'll get the standard abilities for the offspring.
>>
My last 3 shinies were all randos. Last one was Basculin-white-female. Not sure what to do with a big yellow fishie besides love it? Is Basculegion any good anywhere?
>>
>>58215459
Basculegion's male form is really good on rain teams because of swift swim and last respects etc
>>
>>58215467
Yeah, but what is female good at besides being a pretty yellow?
>>
>>58215415
>A Pokémon that has its Hidden Ability due to the Ability Patch can also pass down its Hidden Ability via breeding.

???

HA passing down is always a percent chance, could it be you had bad luck when breeding a patched one?
>>
>>58215483
They could also be confusing the Ability Patch with Nature Mints.
