What shiny pokemon are you currently hunting?
2nd shiny male Nidoran, dual hunting LGPE and X third if I'm being correct, but I have a shiny male from GO already, looking to finish the line so I need two more.
Working on Litwick currently, wanting to use it in ZA. Might hunt Venipede too if the leak is real, that shit looks good.
Shiny ralts in emerald. At 104,468 random encounters so far. Last night I got a shiny lotad AND shiny poochyena within 30 minutes of each other, bringing the total number of shinies that aren't ralts to 15
GalarDex in home to get the Shiny Keldeo
>>58374832I need to finish that too. Doing BDSP for shiny manaphy was a fucking slog so I didn't start it yet.
I wanted the Shiny Enamorus, but I had to give up once I learned I needed Shaymin and Darkrai and I'd have to buy two games to get them.
Taking a break from hunting to ribbon up some pals
Currently softresetting white version for a shiny Snivy to start my shinylocke run. Im excited to start because im planning on also transferring and playing through with my most recent shiny clamperl from ruby. Huntail most likely for the evo>>58374827yikes, good luck moving forward
>>58374748Need to get Latios in HeartGold, then level my catching Gengar to level 70 to move on to the next batch of legendaries in the game. Getting the roamers to be shiny was actually fun because I was so restricted on what I could do.
what makes shiny hunting fun
>>58375662it's almost like digital fishing to me. some days nothing bites, but it's ok since i'm still in my comfy boat on a cool autumn afternoon
>>58375662I ask myself that question sometimes....
>>58375662It's like doing some occult ritual and a shiny Pokemon is the result.
>>58374748I am genuinely going insane soft reset in for Arceus.I am starting to wonder if having Arceus already registered because I transferred her in before is messing with it's ability to be shiny.
>>58375662For me it’s the set up. I enjoy crafting a plan and making weird autistic adjustments to fgure out how best to do it, then it’s cool when it works and if if it needs tweaking, I get to do more of the part I like. I enjoy collecting stuff, so that definitely is part of it, but I also like having Pokemon that are at least in some way more unique than most and I can use them to do other stuff in the games :)
>>58375833Isn’t there some weird thing where you can only withdraw one mythical legendary from BDSP?
>>58375833It's not, we all go through the "this fucking shiny form's not programmed into my game/is locked in my game" period of a hunt. Keep at it.
got Arceus a month ago, a few days after regulation j startednow I just need one more Sinnoh legend: Shaymin>encounter starts a cutscene and forces you off the bike, which didn't happen in Gen 4>affection animation wastes extra time before you can fleekinda nuts how I'm still discovering more things to hate about BDSP after all this time>>58375843it's done to combat the duping glitches from earlier versionsanything transferred in from another game already has a tracker and won't count towards this
Im hunting one called LEGENDS-ZA.XCI
>>58375685>>58375778>>58375837>>58375888Literally all of these are correct
>>58375923>anything transferred in from another game already has a tracker and won't count towards thisAh, ok. i was kind of worried about it for when I get all the story marks on some older legendaries.
I recently tried RNG manipulation to get a 31/4/31/30/30/30 Bold Suicune in Colosseum. I'm thinking of doing it again for a Lati in Emerald but it took me two days to wrap my brain around the info for Colosseum so I'm not sure.
>>58376201this is the shiny hunting thread
>>58376201Emerald is very easy to rng once you figure out your ID
>>58376201Colosseum is the holy grail of RNG manipulation, but Entei and Suicune are the easy ones, there's no noise in the rooms you battle them in, so you can reliably land on the frame you need via blink RNG and advance from there.The real hard ones require battle blink or in extremely noisy areas like Pyrite Town.
>>58374748You posted it OP, Mew on Emerald, want to get one before GF decides to kill Bank support one of these days. My balltism is telling me to catch it with a Dive Ball, but I may go with the Master just for the remote possibility of it killing itself with some bs due to Metronome
>>58376682You could always Taunt it, just remember Taunt only lasts two turns and doesn’t tell you when it finishes in gen 3
>>58376705The problem is that then it can't use Transform either (which would be my best bet, as I'm leading with a Psyduck with Damp just in case), but it's true that's the only way to 100% prevent it randomly teleporting or using Memento. I think I may do that even if the odds of it happening are very small lol, thank
>>58376682master ball for mew or mewtwo is canon
>>58376878dive ball is canon for shiny mew
>>58374748Any one of the starters from HGSS. Preferably Cyndaquil since i've already got a shiny Feraligatr & Meganium. Been quad-hunting for a few days on original hardware; well over 10k encounters so far but nothing.
>hunt a shiny>catch same mon in its regular color because you end up not liking the shiny as much as you thoughtany shinies for this feel? me and iron valiant btw
>>58376958
when will the suffering end
that's the neat part, it never will
>>58374748Just hatched a shiny Heavy Ball Pawniard this morning and I'm gonna make it a ribbon master next week.
>>58377164nice, ribbon chad
Currently at just 200 resets for this dude in Black 2. Can’t decide on the best ball though thinking between Luxury or Timer>>58376958Shinys are always preferable
I JUST FUCKING GOT MY SHINY RALTS and it's ADAMANT LMAO
>>58377791Post proof
105,630 random encountersphase 16IT'S OVER
>>58377791congrats on the based future galla->>58377826lmao

>>58377791>>58377826>>58377888Happy for you anon, your years-long journey can now finally begin.
>>58377901thank you anonthe dream is real
>>58377826gratzi ralts anonwish you would have posted your feet tho
>>58375662I'm a collector. I collect pokemon. Filling out my collection by obtaining a new shiny is exciting.>just pkhexThat's not collecting a pokemon. That's creating a pokemon. Not interesting to do. But if I somehow got a hacked shiny in a trade or something that's okay because the act of going about the trade was fun.
>>58377367Been hunting this bitch in SwSh. To make up for the higher odds I have a policy of knocking it out every time I check it. Currently at 500+ checks.
>>58378409Hope you get the mark
None, I'm not an autistic loser.Well, I am, but I'm not autistic like that.Shinies will be axed soon anyways.
>>58374748Currently trying to get a shiny Gallade for every origin mark. Currently working on Galar.
>>58377826nice
>>58377826I remember you, do you already know how to get every avaliable ribbon?
>>58378042thanks, guess I didn't have to post feet to find them>>58378678thanks>>58378739I've got all the guides and stuff ready to go. first I actually have to beat my emerald save though lol
