Shinny
Stalling my Palkia DA hunt because the bastard has so few weaknesses, is bulky, and has surf. GF is the devil.
Anyone willing to trade a Walking Wake or Iron Leaves for a shiny? If there's anything you're looking for please say and I'll check
>>58217823Have you tried throwing it up on the GTS?
Anyone know how to hack the switch so i can get a fucking charcadet to spawn? i swear the outbreaks are glitched to not have the proper shiny rate.
>>58217863Here's a horrifying revelation:They have been spawning and you've missed them.
>>58217863You just have bad luck/bad observation skills. I caught two shinies off normal outbreaks within an hour yesterday with sandwiches. Massive mass outbreaks are basicallt shiny machines.
I didn’t struggle much with Charcadet but I genuinely would never register this as a shiny and not just a result of the lighting if not for Ceruledge refusing to attack it.
>>58217876>>58217881bruhgot these two within 20 min of each otheryoure right that theyre shiny machines, but holy hell must my charcadet luck suck>>58217894gonna do this guy next and see how bad it really is. maybe i just suck at seeing blues
>>58217894I can clearly see the difference though
I'm still trying to get a shiny venipede/scolipede. Contemplating doing the genocide method of shiny hunting since soft resetting the scolipede spawn isn't working out.
>shiny hunting the charcadet line
>>58218081
>got my 3 Charcadet last time they were part of a 0.5% event for Pokémon Day>barely had trouble spotting them at all, nabbed all 3 in an hour>enter local shiny thread>more than one anon (I assume) bitching about them being hard to spotI'm having a harder time with the boosted Paldean Wooper than I ever did with Charcadet. The fuck's the deal here?
>>58217445Got a full party of Shiny Charcadets. Also found a shiny Hawlucha, Flamigo, and Rhyhorn.
>>58217894I Dexnav'd one back in the day with my 2DD on the lowest brightness and if I didn't see the sparkle I would've had no idea.
It's obvious as tits on a blue board, i was horribly unlucky in the desert
>>58218957>It's obvious as tits on a blue board,
>>58217445Nice to see the thread again I just got back and picked up a Switch 2.I'm really surprised by how small Shiftry is,keep in mind, this is an XXL version
coming up on 10 boxes of Finizen. this experience has absolutely soured my experience on Scarlet. I'm only doing this so I can see it through. these shiny odds for MM are fucked, totally fucked. It has NEVER EVER been this fucking painful.
>>58220000Why wouldn't you just outbreak sandwich it? Is it a balltism thing? I will literally trade you any apriball you need, sunk cost is bullshit.
>>58220022my autism requires that I get a full team of shinies I want before I start my run. I understand that you can't get the sandwich herbicas until post- or late-game
>>58217445WHAT ?? Since when the general returned? I thought it was gone for good thanks to the teraleak shitWelcome back to everyone, pic is back when we did a Christmas event
>>58220044I remember /shw/ from 2012-13. I remember the pink mareep mascot
>>58220043That is genuinely insane and you deserve your fate.
>>58220049
>>58217894It's pretty easy when they're next to non-shinies though. The body color is slightly more red too.You gotta get an eye for it I guess. I hunted some pretty subtle shinies like P-Tauros, sometimes I had to take a double take but once it spawned I noticed basically instantlyThat being said I'm still very grateful for the auto attack feature because there's some virtually impossible to tell shinies (due to size and/or barely different shiny) like Tandemaus, or actually impossible like Minior
>>58220049Back when people had passion, instead of the current zombiefied state we’re in
>>58220044I'm glad people enjoy posting here, I was worried that it would get 404'd but we all seem to be having a good time :)
>>58220095This guy is funny, although I mostly shiny hunt for raids now. If I'm gonna train up something anyway I like to get the rarer version
>>58220089I think my main issue is that with something like P-Tauros, while subtle, it still got the dark and lighter tones reversed so you can spot it at a second look.With stuff like Numel and how the lighting in the game changes based on time of day I wouldn't be confident to call a shiny out or not if not another standard Numel was right next to it for comparison.
>>58220125Let me blow your mind: that post was a copy pasta, the original was someone who sperged out about speedrunners on stream
>>58217894Some mons are too small, I remember shiny hunting for a nymble and my eyesight was being fucked
>>58220836Had this problem with capsakid. Charcadet's easy enough to see.
>>58217863Are you definitely on a boosted outbreak? Normal ones can still spawn in my experience.
>>58220886Thats why I save spicy, it’s how you get huge power
Booted up to raid while watching TV and ran into this. Caught in Dream ball and trained up for ZA.
>>58220921Do we even know when ZA will be Home compatible? I haven’t heard any word of it so I doubt the compability will be ready from launch.
>>58220998Almost certainly Q1 next year as is the usual schedule but it has online PVP unlike Arceus so figured may as well get some shiny Mega's.
Two in one day, have shiny charm but not using sandwiches if those even affect raids.
>This is a serious big'un! Feels comforting to have such a bulky, reliable buddy around, doesn't it?
>>58221104i hate this feel
>>58221098Pretty sure raids are always locked to full odds
>>58221098Raids are always full odds, but unless you’re hosting they’re almost 100% botted (if that matters to you)
Going back to older gens for shiny hunting feels so ass. Booted up XY to try and get shiny Whirlipede/Goomy, friend safari encounters are such slogs and radar chaining is probably one of the worst shiny hunting methods ever created. >Is your desired shiny only available in grass patches in a tight area/weird shape? fuck you >Need the shaking grass to spawn in a specific tile so its less likely to end the chain? fuck you >forgot which shaking grass tiles were slow? fuck you>is it raining? fuck youAt least I caught a shiny Malamar and Eelektross in SV for ZA, and those showed up pretty early.
>>58221583Just fish chain manAlso finally got my jumbo Numel after like 50 shinies
>>58221583Radar is actually kinda wack. Recent Johnstone video had the revelation that if you set the DS to your birthday, it gives you a constant odds boost then doubles your odds whenever you use it
>>58221738Based mark friend
Can I realistically get shiny Zygarde from DA before legends ZA?
>>58221935Alone? Probably not. With 3 others and a god route? Yeah.
>>58221935Alone is fine, you need a route to burn dynite ore on that has a wide guard user as well as two ice types. Have 999 dynite ore and you can do at least 110~ runs on the same route. That's a 70%~ chance of having seen shiny Zygarde in those runs.Doing runs with people is slow because you can't turn off animations.
Awesome
>>58221738Yeah fish chain worked okay for me in ORAS, got a shiny female Feebas pretty quick that way. Aside from that though, nothing much else I'd want out of the chain-fishable mons at this point. Grats on the Numel btw, I should probably hunt one as well.
>>58221434if the data is clean then meh.
>>58222470It is. They’re 100% “real,” it’s just a matter of personal preference. It’s just the host setting their clock to a specific time to spawn the raid continuously. Also can’t get marks on them.
>>58221434The only time I haven't cared is the Gimmighoul raids. Limited time full odds raids is pure horseshit.
>want to shiny hunt my favorite mon>Shiny is garbage tier>It has a mega>It's somehow worse than the original shiny
>>58222578Garchomp?
>>58222547Extra offensive when you realize Pokemon Go had gimmis with 1/20 or 25 shiny rate
Just happened upon this little fella while trying to get jynx in the ice cave
thoughts on RNG manipulation?
>>58223077We don't do that crap here.
>>58223080Isnt masuda method and shiny charm technically rng manipulation?
>>58223180
>>58223080well, I doand you can't stop me
29 eggs in the break room at workProbably my fastest bred shiny
>>58223293IVs?Nature?
>>58223293>>58223326
>>58222845Yeah...
>>58223293>Squares on a breedmonNice
>>58221104The funniest part is that there's probably no difference between a 254 XXL and a 255 XXXL
Tomorrow I shall continue the ‘gull hunt
>>58223077I don't disapprove of it, but at that point I feel like I might as well just gen it.
>shg is backFinally! I've been hunting Shaymin in BDSP and my deluded ass is using a stat tracker to check whether it is Square shiny and reset over any Stars, just in case that feature ever comes back.>3 shiny Shaymin murdered so farAnd I want to do this twice, once for each form
>>58223404Are there any actual articles/investigation into each size value, and whether or not there are 256 sizes or just size windows, e.g. 50-75 would all show up as the same size Pokémon? I have been trying to find this info for months and nowhere has it, but without hacking I can't really confirm it myself either
Got lucky with a Pyroar (male) outbreak today and caught these 2 sleepy boys. Both are only slightly bigger than average though, but one of them has the Cloud Watcher title so I think I'll name him Squall.
up
>>58217445SHG IS BACK??yeaaa baby, i finally finished my SS SBQ after spending 13k on Lugia, here's my HOF team. Not sure what I'm gonna do next.I have an in progress Ruby SBQ where I'm making a Croatia themed team, and I also got a Vega cartridge that I want to hunt on (autism I know)And of course, I still technically have 8 more shinies to get in SoulSilver with Kanto.
>>58223293
>>58225331
>>58225331>>58225335Lets gooo
>>58217673Update: Palkia is an insufferable nigger. 30% win rate and have yet to find a consistent run that the AI doesn't actively sabotage.
>>58220000are you using shiny and egg power during hatching? with shiny charm MM and shiny power ive gotten a shiny sneasler in 10 eggs and a shiny A vulpix in 30
>>58225434Shiny Sandwich powers don't affect eggs.Masuda Method + Charm is 1/512 which is as good as you can get it.
>>58225441>Shiny Sandwich powers don't affect eggs.in my experience it does. maybe im just super lucky when it comes to eggs.
two bigguns. Gyarados the furious and dondozo the daydreamer. Gyarados was found under a waterfall and dozo in the lake
>>58225466kino marks. Shame dozo has such a jarring shiny.
>>58225468it looks kinda tasty
>>58225457You're lucky.It will affect hatching though. My enthusiasm for MMing shinies waned tremendously once Reg I started and then I went after shiny legendaries.I'm around 1500 eggs deep in my Duraludon hunt and still haven't seen it.
>>58225468I don’t get what it’s supposed to be referencing desu
>>58225532trump?
>>58225532If I had to guess, I'd assume it's a simple pan-fried fish, which is strange given its sushi chef theming
>>58225532It looks like scrambled eggs :)
>>58223404It's barely noticeable. I hate that they didn't bring the upscale back from Aloha's in PLA. I want my big bois back.
Just got my first double spawn in SV>fire encounter sandwich on Kleavor rock>one Litten in an outbreak>one Litten from an isolated encounter just outside the outbreak rangeIn total I got five of the guys from one sammy. SV shiny hunting is so broken, even moreso on Switch 2. Probably averaged over one encounter per second flying in and out of spawn range on a mountain
>>58226000Yea sv hunting is extremely easy even just running around i find shinies everywhere. The weirdest one was the rufflet right next to me after I thought that I should really check rufflet groups cause they're so similar
>>58226000I might be mental, but there’s some stuff where I preferred Switch 1. It’s pretty much impossible to properly isolate and get only the outbreak to spawn on 2. For the most part, yeah, it’s way better. Also way easier to make out small differences
>>58225936Alpha's*While I'm here have any of you got a rare mark shiny? If so, post em.
>>58225936>>58226208Do XXXL caught in SV that are moved to PLA count as Alpha? Like say I have a Jumbo Shiny Oshawott and I move it to PLA will it be Alpha sized in PLA? Would it also be able to get the former Alpha mark because of that or is that only for mons caught in PLA?
>>58226220No
>>58226208None that I posted multiple times before
>>58226307No they won't be Alpha sized or no they won't get the mark?
How long did it take you to get shiny bdsp Arceus? This thing does not want to show up.
>>58226344No to both. It will get the giant mark in SV though
>>58226460It's 1/4096 bro. It takes forever.I'm so glad I didn't hunt it on Switch 1.
>>582264606000 something resets
>>58226460Maybe if the faggots didn’t fuck up the Shiny Charm and made it absolutely worthless, this hunt would’ve gone alot smoother>>58226780I never tried BDSP on Switch 2 yet, how good is it there?
>>58227399couple seconds faster loading times
>>58227399It takes a 30s load time and turns it into a 13s load time.Your soft resets are 50% faster.
Another addition to the squad, the double. Two quick ones.
>>58227744
>>58227744epic, i should go for doubles more often
>>58227777Perhaps not doubles, but youve gotten quads
>>58227838o my arceus it's a sign
Haven't shiny hunted in a while, this is nice
Just accidentally nuked a shiny Shaymin from orbit in BDSP after 1300 resets, AMA
>>58228174What did you eat today
>>58228174With what move
>>58228174good. shaymin deserves to suffer
>>58228363
>>58228259Pain au chocolat and a mocha for breakfast, 9 McDonald's McNuggets as a commiseratory lunch>>58228347Flame Wheel crit>>58228363Only the Sonic fanfic form, OG is cute
Anyone able to trade a decent number of Dino and Bird fossils? Wanna do a hunt but only have a bulk of Shield version fossils
Why do the sub-legendary shines almost always suck?Gen 2 trio was good, but Kanto's birds suck, Regis suck, the Spirit trio suck, the genies suck, sword trio is passable.
Good god, I forgot how much I hate PLACycling spawns is so fucking tedious, and the game is not as geared for stealth as theyd like you to believe
17280 Ekans seen…
>>58228830That's how you know it's a spinoffNo dedicated shiny hunting method
>>58229398If you wanna get technical, they do have a fuckload of ways to increase odds, but not being able to use AOE attacks to rapidly clear spawns and having to use the bed like 6 times to refresh spawns without leaving the map is ridiculous On top of that, spawn placements are awful and not being able to auto kill something thats aggressive towards you just destroys momentum when most of the entities can sense you from several yards away
>>58229430Is there a way to control what spawns though? Or are you subject to the randomness
>>58225331That look good, probably is the shiny I'm shiny hunting next
>>58229445Mass Outbreaks are random, but every other spawn in the game is largely staticMass Outbreaks have seeds you can influence depending on whether you catch or kill each individual spawn in the outbreak, but it's difficult to do so when they all aggro or notice you all at once because they spawned in an area with no coverBasic static spawns need to be killed or catched as well, but to refresh them you have to cycle the DAY/NIGHT 3 times, which requires sleeping 6 times, or you can leave the map entirely
