Current hunts? Best methods? Showing off? All here! previous >>58446452
Best method (multiple shinies per hour):>Find pokemon you want to hunt, place a pin on the map where it spawns>Find a bench, or preferably a fast travel point, within 50 meters of the pokemon>Keep resting on the bench or fast travelling to the nearest point.>Clean up all the shinies that pop up every 15-30 minutesEZ
>>58458106Is it true that the game only saves the first 10 shiny and no shiny pop up after that?
>>58458169Probably.
>>58458174Guess I need to clean the entire map once.
250 fights to go, then we shine
To anyone who has hunted the burrowed pokemon in area 8, are they subject to the same "no despawning" rules as other shinies? If so, isn't it most efficient to take a step into area 8, then teleport back to it, and do it over and over only checking the zone every once in a while? Or better yet, teleporting to area 8 itself is good enough because it's a wild area that spawns all the mons right away? I'm just seeing people running around checking every hole on every reset and it seems inefficient.
Liver failure
>>58458140i tried this but it is still too slow
>>58458255I haven’t done it, but I saw someone just teleporting over and over (not vhecking piles) and ended up with a shiny Drilbur.
>>58458283what is a vhecking
>>58458298Checking but I hit the v on my phone
>>58458283That's what I'm doing. At the very least, the numels outside are being rerolled, so even if you're just going for them this strat is extremely fast
>>58458174Time to kill some mons
/vp/ bros, i keep flying to z12 for this snorunt but i haven't seen a single shiny all day is it better to just bench cycle this shit?
>>58458447benching is just slower
Has anyone figured out how to replicate that noclip tech we saw on the other thread?
>>58458106i found three shinies just walking circles around and catching everything in area 3 my first night playing, however today i’ve done a ton of the new methods for hunting and shit you not zero spawns all dayis this game broken? it shouldn’t even be a thing if the 10 limit can stop spawns, but i really doubt i have 10 out there on the map anyway, i’ve tried to sweep and clear old areas too but never find anythingi’m at my wits end here
>>58458447I did z12 on pc last week and I was flying to it but checking everything inside before flying again and from what I've seen, snorunt is too far away to just fly over and over againthe bench method might be better for this even if it is slower
>>58458491>>58458532i was legit gonna ask if i have to run in and check those fucks or not
After six unrelated shinies I got the pool noodle
Was running up and down the tunnel resetting the Alpha Whirlipede, no luck but bagged this shiny gal instead. I think I might prefer the regular size more desu
>>58458518Elaborate
>>58458580roof or is there somewhere better?
>>58458584I'm doing that too. 1400 whirlipedes seen and still no shiny...
I just wasted 50 balls on a near dead alpha pinsir before failing the knockout ball. What gives?
>>58458607Yeah. I fast travel to Restaurant Le Nah and climb the ladder right across from the restaurant to check the roof
>>58458678do you need to climb for it to spawn or can you just spam travel to the restaurant?
pro tip for the people tired of fast travelling, buy a switch 2 pro controller and rebind the keys to do it
>>58458706Need to go about halfway up for it to spawn
>>58458709exprain
>>58458728comes with 2 macro keys
>>58458709what if I don't have a switch 2?
>>58458749grim
>>58458580how many hours, be honest
>>58458737Not that anon, but explain to me like I'm 5 about rebinding what buttons to do this please. It's not like a rubber band and an open staircase, so how is it easier?
>>58458169I think I’m experiencing this nonetheless never count your encounters bros it’ll make you schizo I’m going to sweep the map I guess
Currently trying to spawn some shinies in the sewer. Almost two hours no luck so far.
>>58458780a macro is a recorded sequence of inputs, so you can set it to record, do what you would normally do, aka press + then select the zone then fly there, now with that sequence recorded you can set it to repeat forever while you are gooning, eating dinner or whatever
>>58458841Do you have a controller you'd recommend? I'm on the Switch 1.
>>58458778All together like 9 hours
>>58458855https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/nintendo-switch-macro-recording-on-the-raspberry-pi/how-to-use-joycontrol35 dollarsor you can pay 45.99+ for one of thesehttps://www.mobapad.com/collections/all-controllers-and-accessories
>>58458841Okay but without the tactile pressing if the paddle buttons, how is it easier?
>>58458872it presses for you on its own after you activate it, you don't need to be around
Does anyone know the spawns in ZA reset based on where you fast travel from, or where you fast travel to?
Thankfully it took only about an hour to get my alpha female. Use the Cafe Cyclone fast travel to the SE of Wild Zone 2, and you can easily reroll the alpha magikarp that hangs out there.
>>58458947why cant you dress like a normal person?
>>58458886yes
got this asshole after 1 hour + however many times I tried since i got the game
Is Fennekin close enough to bench spawn? How about the Salamence? Well I’ll find out!
Finally, 1000 battles later. Charmed.
>>58459349Im at 900 but at work atm, today we get them shinies
Can you soft reset fossils or does it autosave once they're added to a box?Gonna be an expensive hunt otherwise
>>58459382They don't autosave and you can just fill your party up with the fossils if you go in like that.
>>58459356Hope you’re farming Le Nah like I was. Good luck
>>58459389No i was doing the endless ZA for the 15 rematches
>>58459398I still need to finish that. You can get around 100 matches an hour in Le Nah and it’s borderline AFK.
>>58459425Yeah i heard it was faster but i got around 30 battles per night and it was free xp and money too.
>>58458447God damn, shiny vanillite, still no snoring we still at it boys
>>58459578Snorunt I'm autistic and left phone autocorrect on
Shiny Buneary wont fucking spawnI'm fly spamming on zone 6 without entering, should be working right?
>>58459174Reporting back, pretty sure it does (at least on Switch 2. It does spawn in the Bagons and Salamence 100%.
>>58459587add pidgy to the list of shines before snorunt
>>58459601 Doing the same but for swablu in zone 6.Been doing this for 15+ hours and got 3 shiny magikarp and 3 flaaffy. Not sure if I'm doing somethbing wrong.
>>58459601If it’s within 50 meters of the entrance you fly to then it should be working. The target must be in render distance which is like 50m from player.Otherwise I think there’s something schizo going on with shinies that dataminers haven’t figured out yet
>>58459683>>58459676snorunt gal here, I'm 8k encounters in about 10~ hours and I feel you, like I feel like rng hates me, I know I'm not doing anything wrong cause I've had other pokes in the zone and outside it shiny
>>58459692but like what's the game consider 50m? do we have some kind of in game measurements?
>>58459706You can drop a pin on the map and use your distance from the pin to measure the 50m radius
>>58459706Put a pin in the map where the target spawns and it’ll show meters away
>>58459601I got mine last night, took aboit five hours. Only got one other shiny in that entire time (Flaafy)
>>58459698I’m with you too I hunted a shiny mawile in under 1k encounters and it was male so I am in the middle of hunt 2 trying for female, over 8k encounters no shiny. And my shiny stash isn’t broken because I got a shiny to spawn in zone 3. Are we all so unlucky….
What's the best method for ralts farming near quasartico? I managed to get a female shiny buneary and two femboy ones no issue but at least three times as long and not a single ralts showed up so far trying different methods, but plenty of weedles. I know it's all rng so just wondering what the best way is for that area.
Do I REALLY need to battle 1000 times before they give me the shiny charm? What the fuck?
>>58459601I got a spare male non alpha if you want it
>>58459760We know how much you hated when we skipped ranks for you. So we're making up for it.Here's your content, bro! :)
These hunts are going terribly. Only found a shiny Hippowdon so far. I wanted shiny starters, Gardevoir, Aggron or some of the unique Alphas in the middle.
>>58459683Not doing bench at 18?
>>58459692Are you 100% on the render thing? I think there’s a slight grace area on the edge like SV on Switch 2 where they’re faded out but still spawned in.
>>58459805I havnt unlocked area 18 yet - kindof want some shiny pokemon for the playthrough
>>58459727if the first snorunt I see is male im going to jump off the nearest bridge
>>58459797Oh, I can add a shiny Scrafty to that. The method does work, but fuck the rng seems horrible on my side.
>>58459829shiny mega lad
>>58459731just buy the needful
>>58459806This was confirmed by Anubis/sibuna yeah until otherwise updated. And anecdotally I have reset a spawn by walking in and out of range ~50m until it popped shiny
>>58459844True. Can't complain too much about that one and I really do like the mon anyways.
>>58459848Guess running in a circle is the way to go for fixed spawns then
>>58459848Yeah its 100% the 50m distance that spawns them so just flying to a zone or sitting wont get you a shiny thats far away
Is it worth shiny hunting at full odds or doing it after you get the shiny charm?
>>58458521bumping this to see if anyone’s been experiencing something like this or feels as though shinies effectively don’t spawn at all for them anymorei’ve swept the map at day and night several times now and found nothing, let alone a stash of ten assholes, and still now my game never loads anything but non-shinies
>>58459946Charm is really late post game and the methods are really easy i would hunt some to use before it
>chanced upon shiny Onix>have to find someone to evolve itBring back the link cable you bastards
>>58460024It's absolutely fucking sinful that they went back to old trade evolution methods.
>>58460088>trying to evolve swirlix>keep matching with the same guy that hasn't even got the item heldThanks, I hate it.
I got my shiny Alpha female Ralts. I'm happy with this
>>58460148I just want you to know I legitimately hate you right now, I have been trying on and off for over 2 days now and 0 shiny ralts let alone the holy grail.
>>58460148Teach me
Do the methods work in Zone 20? Spawns there seem to be more random than in other zones
>>58460166>>58460168Head up to Cafe Triste in the NW section I have circled and run back and forth between red dot and yellow. Yellow dot spawns 2 Ralts with high chance for Alpha on both
>>5846017620 is really big so i think you need to run and check for all of them to spawn
>>58460185That's the spot I have been trying but I was doing the fly and roll to the wall version
>>58460191This is a faster and more rreliable method in my opinion. Spawned the alpha shiny in hour and a half roughly
I've had 2 shinies spawn, both right after leaving something. the first was leaving a clothing store, and the second right after talking to a pokemon center nurse
FML BROOOOO
>>58460317Enjoy your femboy byun>Captcha:TAPIT
>>58460317
>>58460317Fuck this is the exact hunt I'm doing and my exact fear
Does the fast travel method work with Area 5 for Venipede or do I have to use the bench?
>>58460472I switched to reset method myself. I saved just before it changes from day to night where there are three Venipedes and an Alpha Whirlipede and wait for the change to occur, check them to see if there is a shiny then reset. However, I'm on Switch 2 so it may not be the best solution if you're on regular Switch.
>>58460514I’m on Switch 2 too so I’ll switch to that. Thank you.
>>58460514Whats the advantage of resetting? I'm curious. Wouldnt just walking away from the gate near the sewers and back be faster?I'm guessing the sewer door itself is outside of their spawn range so you cant just spam it.
She's all grown up
Yall got boxes?
>>58460674Not yet.
Does fast traveling to wild zone 8 reset the alpha Garbodor? I want to know if doing that can get a shiny big trash lad, as it SEEMS to be within 50m, but it spawns behind an alley separated from that area by some guildings
>>58460593Oh I would think your method is faster as well, but the input in the reset method feels more hands off, where th bulk of it is just pressing A and checking if there are shinies.
Finally got my gulikit 2 to work with the switch 2. Alpha Staryu here I come.
>>58460731can it wake the switch?
>>58460802sadly no, which is a pain in the ass, but being able to automate stuff makes up for that slight annoyance
>>58460711Looks like it. Got this guy and a shiny Fletchling from on the kiosk up the stairs while hunting for Drilbur.
>>58460867i bet he uses those pipes a lot
>>58460867In awe at the size of this trash heap. Thanks anon, I appreciate the reply, and nice job on em!
He showed up during my Gastly hunt!
Wild zone 7 or 12 to farm for a shiny alpha Vanillite?
>doing a quest to capture an alpha weedle that was eating plants>fuck its a shiny>capture it>press A by mistake when npc asks if he can keep itFUCK
>>58460593I’m sorry, I’m retarded when it comes to shiny hunting. Does going from the gate to the sewer game despawn or would I need to enter the sewer?
>>58460939Just run far enough back for it to despawn in your sight then run to it again to spawn it
>>58460913Hope he’s not disappear when time past like the Pikachu’s one…
>>58459946If something spawns near a fly point or bench I think doing it without the charm is pretty quick. I got bored grinding out 1000 battles and got this after a few hours.
Fucking finally
>>58460995yeah sure hacker
>>58460317If you won’t appreciate a cute femboy bunny give it to someone who will! I’ve been doing this exact hunt for a male since launch. That being said I haven’t found a female yet either…
>>58461049Post a code and your trainer name and I will send one, my trainers name is meursault, ideally I would take a spare shiny you have in return but not bothered.
>>58461018?
>>58461110Welp, wasn’t expecting that. Are you sure? I’ve got a spare shiny flabebe & a skiddo (sorry, I realise these are welfare shinies at this point— I haven’t been too lucky on actual hunts outside of area 3) if you need one of those? If not like, seriously don’t worry. I don’t want to take a shiny off you for something you don’t need! My ign is DeI & code is 9234 7645, but seriously no worries if you don’t need one of those shinies
>>58461146>gets it in 4 triesthanks for proving my point hacker
>>58461110Thank you brother, I’ll treasure this little fella forever- we’ll reach A rank together. I was going to send you the skiddo as well, so if you’d like it just let me know! Thank you and have a blessed day. I can retire this bun hunt and go hunting for something else now
>>58461178I got two femboys on my way to getting a gyaru bunny and currently getting fucked on my quest for a ralts so I don't mind helping someone out.
>get charm>run through every zone once>Zone 5>shiny bunnelby and venipedeYeah we made it man
How do nocturnal Pokémon work? If I am hunting honedge (I am) and a shiny spawns, day happens, will it despawn, return next night, or just chill during the day?
>>58461213Its there next night
>>58461213It treats it same as if you killed it
>>58461211What is the best way to grind it out?
>>58461211Just got the charm myself, probably the most demanding one in years due the 1000 trainer battle task being mandatory. And not just running off dex completion.
>>58461233Le Nah is fastest but you need to do at least 15 infinite ZA rematches for post game and that helps alot
>>58461234>due the 1000 trainer battle task being mandatoryPlease say sike
>>58461221>>58461225I need you two to kiss and make up
>>58461249Even if you complete literally every other task (including the 500 battles one) you'll be 100 points short
>>58461249
>>58461273That's so fricked up, guess I better start paying attention to that now
>>58461249I did every task, you are 600 short without it, but it gives 2000, so basically you can skip something else (Probably trading) but not Trainer Battles.That said, you can grind them out at Rogue Sector 4 Roof at night since you can do loops easy there to. Pretty easy to do 30+ per night that way.
>>58461287you get 2000 points if you hit rank A online
>>58461321Didn't know that since i quit at K since i was only in it for the Greninjite.
Is the 50m guy still here? You seem to know more about the mechanics than I do. The Fennekin spawn in 18 is ~45m away from the bench but only renders in of you walk to the holowall. Is it still spawning in if you don’t walk to the wall? I’m guessing it is because it seems to be in a different part of its idle animation and facing direction when it fades in every time. Would love some additional input on this from others to help figure out the intricacies here.
Area 15 gonna be my bitch.
>>58461552>has turbo>uses rubberbandbreh
>>58461561I can't get that one to work unfortunately but it's cool don't really use this controller anyways
I hate how regular Dratini in the distance looks pink-ish at sunset...
>>58461552cum stains?
>>58460913You are a good human, Arceus and RNGusus will smile on you.
>>58461596Dust. I drug it out of some box after forgetting about them for literal years. I did see a bunch of eroge date sims lately in the online store so it could be I suppose, but no, it's dust.
>>58461552what does holding down the A button do?shouldn't you be pressing it every time?
>>58458521ive got 40 hours playtime havent seen a single shiny and ive not been rushing the main story ive caught everything and spent a fair amount of time on roofs/wild areas lol
>>58461613Turbo feature on the controller. Essentially it's inputting A hundreds of times by holding the actuator. End result is afk bench shiny hunting. Don't do what I did with any decent controllers.
>>58461623It is just luck, some areas are better then others due having a fuckton of mons meaning a fuckton of rolls at once, like the graveyard.I got like Magikarp(Alpha),Staryu(Alpha),Litleo,Kakuna,Spinarak Scyther,Flaafy(Not the quest Mareep) and 2 Pidgey just while doing the story without hunting.
I miss when shinys were really rare to getEverything after gen 7 are just fake shinys
>>58461839Marked/Alpha shinies are the new normal shinies
>>58461839>gen 2 could go to 1/64 rates with breeding>gen 4 had the radarYou had to work for them a bit more but pretending like shinies were ever super hard to get is a joke
Do you really have to fight 1000 battles for the shiny charm? wtf is this that seems like a ridiculous amount
>>58461847whats a marked
>>58461839they're still rare to get, if you don't go for the generic mons in every zone
>>58461858In SV and SwSh, every pokemon has a chance of spawning with a personality trait or weather related title they can add after their name. It’s in the ribbonMenu. https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/marks.shtml
>>58461854yes
>>58461854Yes, it's required
>first and only shiny I have seen is a Delibird that ran awayt-thanks
>>58461892why didn't you save before trying to catch it?
>>58458880I thought you could only assign a button to the gr button on the pro 2 controller? I do you assign a string of commands to it?
>>58461854Is the fastest way to just do the night battles?
>>58462038No, go to restaurant Le Nah. Still not “fast.”
First ever shiny I've caught. I only ever had one other as a kid playing Pokemon soul silver hatched a shiny chimchar. This game looks like it will be fun to afk hunt.
>>58461999It's a third-party cheapo job. Likely can't do it on the official controller, but there's plenty chinesium shite floating around that does allow those functions.
You can call me Ms. HandsYes I know what that impliesYes I am frustrated from hunting for a shiny stunfisk for a very long time
this alpha whirlipede is gonna be the dead of me...I don't even get a shiny from the pokemon around it
Got my shiny Dratini today after about 2 days of afk resetting.
Hit 2735 resets on alpha mawile. Need to take a sanity break before I resume.
>>58461386Originally info was that if the mon is within 50m of your bench then its rerolling. But it’s still early in understanding shiny mechanics/storage/spawning in this game and anecdotal reports have people saying even mons slightly outside of 50 are rerolling. Anubis/sibuna is a dataminer and is still testing.If you’ve marked fennekin within 50m of your bench though it should DEFINITELY be rerolling with bench resets because this is the spawn radius. FARTHER than 50m is where things become a question mark
>>58461180retard
>>58461321I hit A online a while back and didn't get any points for itStill have to grind the battles
>>58462808im not the one who needs to hack to get shinies
>>58461552This set up has me CACKLING !!!! LOL
>>58462845>doubling down this hard
>>58462561Huh? How do you AFK hunt a Dratini?Please... I've been running spawning/despawning on the roof for two days....
>>58462953i use macros
>>58462968You using a specific software or is it through a controller?
Is there anywhere else like the Zone 3 tower?
>>58463041For fast resets? >>58461146 looks really quick
I have not seen a single shiny
>>58463071bro, your free pink mareep?
>>58462387Tfw no horse fucker gf
>>58463049Na I meant just holding down the down for an hour then going back. Doesn't look like it.
>>58460317please dont evolve buneary is so much cuter than lopunny
>>58462680That’s what I’d like to believe, but I can’t get it to move around enough while not visible, so I’m starting to lean towards it doesn’t spawn until it’s visible. Currently running back and forth from the wall and bench, but I can’t really AFK it then, sadly.
>>58461839well the odds are the same or similar so all the mon you miss when you run through grass trying not to get attacked in the older games or using repels are shinies
>>58463139can you hear its cry at all from the distance? that might be an indicator too. japanese twitter has a lot of this stuff studied and recorded so im also going off that though i only trust specific routes ive seen proof of working...i feel your schizophrenia anyways im running back and forth for mawile and im at 8k encounters no shinyyy
>>58463328you don't hear the sound immediatelyyou have to get near of it or see it
>>58463076i guess it counts kek
I assume the strategy for shiny Buneary is to just reset using the bench method outside Wild Zone 6?
>>58463521I kept flying to cafe woof and checked every 10 min, got three of them that way.
Trophy Garden.
do you think the beldum is rerolling when entering/exiting the lysandre labs? the map wont let me put a pin down to work out the distancehow would I find out? wait until a metang spawns and leave and re-enter a bunch and see if it despawns?
>>58463565oh nice, i'll give that a go. thanks anon
>First shiny in the game (PLZA, and not counting the free shiny Mareep)>It's a fucking Swirlix, who only evolve if you trade itIt's not fair bros...
i started the game a short while ago and my first ever pikachu was a shiny
>>58463606oh wait I can see the marker for the entrance, its 100m dammit
Three thousand, four hundred and thirty seven Eevees later and I still haven't found a shiny. Not even the nearest patrat, spinarak, or fucking Magikarp havve turned up shiny. And then I go on twitter and people are showing off how they got a box full of shiny "easily". I'm going insane.
>>58463620I'll trade you if you want.
>>58463651Nah i'm good, i don't intend on using Slurpuff anyway, but thanks anyways
>>58463574very nice, anonI miss hunting in gen 4
>>58463632I wish he had a better shiny
>spend like 10 hours trying to find a shiny venipede in zone 5 (bench method, then switched to just fast travel spam)>literally nothing, not even a bellsprout or bunnelbyWhat am I doing wrong? Too little Pokemon spawn there or what?
Setup for clearing battles quickly for the shiny charm, open with extreme speed unless resisted
>>58463697you and me both, anonI've been trying for days to get a shiny venipede in zone 5only got a shiny pidget and the alpha bellsproutI'm doing the walk away method now, it's faster
>>58463606I got the shiny beldum on Sunday. Unfortunately yeah you just have to rawdog it by running from the entrance to check the beldum over and over again.
How do I guarantee the shiny? save manually and quit the game if it faints and I dont catch it?
>>58463752yes, save before trying to catch it in case you fail or it flees
Already got shiny Scraftys. Anyone want the second one? All I ask for is someone that needs to trade something they want to evolve and they can have it back. Trade any shitmon for it afterwards, I just want the Mable mission done.
>>58463697I have 2 if you want one, man.You can pick a female in a standard Poke Ball or a male in a Luxury Ball.
>>58463807That's very generous of you. I'll take the male, if you'd be so kind
i was going for a shiny phantump so this was a very nice surprise, didn't take many tries either
>>58463910Code is 1256 6521IGN is Tony
>>58463946I sure hope you were Julian with a Dusk Ball Venipede, otherwise I dun goofed
>>58463946Thank you kind anon... I hope every good thing that can happen to you does
>>58463937was it male?
>>58463983It was! Worry not, you got the right guy
>>58463985>>58463991Cool. Enjoy your funny bug, bro.
>me keeping track of all the different strategies or tricks i have tried when trying and failing to get shiny ralts to spawn
https://litter.catbox.moe/4x60hev145nsyt69.movso my game isn’t broken I’m just unlucky yay! it’s female at least
Wish I got a picture of this. Saw a shiny fletchling on the stairs near zone 6. Caught it, then noticed another shiny fletchling a couple stairs up lmao.
>>58464009geez congrats anon
>>58463989yeah
>>58464020you could have used the 30 seconds recording feature of the switch, anon
>First shiny>Binaclecool :D mega barbaracle will now be on my team
What would be the best way to shiny hunt spritzee on the roofs? I’d bench resetting or cast travel my best bet?
My haul so far in Wild Zone 20>Hippowdon>2 Scraftys>Garbodor>Totodile>Dragalge>Alpha Sylveon>RoseradeStill nothing for the other starters, Gard or other more interesting Alphas. But it's not too bad?
>>58464070I know, but they were part of that group of fletchlings that all fly away the second you get anywhere near them, so it just completely slipped my mind because I was focusing lol.
>>58458106I posted in the Lets Play thread but I'm going for Shiny Larvitar on the Wild Area 15 roof. Right now I'm running in, checking if the Larvitars are shiny (or even there), and then running across the rooftops until I hit the one with a ton of Mega Energy crystals, then running back and repeating the cycle. I think this is the best way I can be doing this.How feasable is the Beldum hunt? At first I was planning to try for Skrelp or Noibat, but I don't think exiting and re-entering the sewers guarentees a reroll for spawns. At least, mons that I knocked out stayed knocked out.
>>58464210I got a noibat from the frozen entrance but idk if they're within the normal one. 18 is goated for noibat benching
>>58464210>t, but I don't think exiting and re-entering the sewers guarentees a reroll for spawns.you can easily check this by going in, checking the nearest pokemon level + gender, and leaving and coming back a few times (not just once though sometimes you get the same shit 3 times in a row)
>>58464218*within range of the normal one
>>58458106Best spots for shiny weedle and spinarak?
>>58458106>afk shiniesCringe
>>58464277I got two spare weedles if you want one, just post name and code.
Can you afk with a switch 2 pro controller?
>>58464285post your shinies then
>>58464318doesn't that shit have macros or something?
>>58464333It has remappable buttons but not recordable macros
>>58464290QuantumCubes 2222 2288
>>58464290thanks anon!!!
I'm starting to think this motherfucker is shiny locked or something...
>>58464483What's this app?
Can Honedge be AFK farmed with the bench by the Pokemon center near wild area 4.I been shiny hunting it for a bit and just realized Aegislash's stance change ability isn't in the game is Aegislash even good lmao.
>>58464483Definitely not. Personally starting to feel like the eevee in Vert Sector 9 is though
Is there a good spot for shiny hunting Skrelp or Dragalge in ZA?
>>58464495Aegislash might not be good but Eviolite Doublade is seeing some use in Ranked. They're getting KOs with another mon and then switching to the Doublade and spamming Reflect, Protect, etc.
>>58464494it's called shiny counter>>58464497what method did you use?
>>58464519Tunnel, ran back and forth until I saw it.
>>58464524yeah, I'm doing that toodid you get something else before whirlipede? I'm not sure if the venipedes and that one electrike above the tunnel get rerolled too by doing this
>>58464518Oh shit that's a cool strat. I almost prefer Doublade's shiny since I like how the entire blade is red rather than how its only the edges on Aegislash.
Is Meowth in the game? I need to know. Also best spot to farm for scraggy?
Hunting Shiny Honedge, any tips / strats?
>>58464530Nope. I'm just terribly unlucky in general because I haven't seen another shiny since. Have spent, I don't know how many, hours trying to get a shiny Eevee before and after I beat the game with absolutely no results.
>>58464532I'm not sure anything else in the game has the stats to do an Eviolite build. I think Porygon2 is in the DLC so that'll be a second option when that releases, but Doublade also has the additional benefit of being immune to Brick Break.
>>58464538The entire Meowth family is supposed to be in the DLC.
only thing ive found so far was a random patrat. it looks funny when it runs
>>58464543I've gotten shinies, 2 when I just started this venipede/whirlipede hunt because I was just running around the area and checking everything so I got the alpha bellsprout and a pidgeyand I got another 2 shinies doing the AFK method since I was curious but none of where inside zone 3 lolthey were on the rooftop of the building behind the zone 3 tower
Has anyone tried to shiny hunt Drampa in Zone 19? Any tips?
I don't think a single shiny spawned in for me all day while switching between ralts and venipede hunting.
>>58464677Sounds like a time well wasted
These fucking Charmanders and Tepigs are eluding me...
Are there any shiny boosts aside from the charm?
>>58464538I got a second shiny Scrafty that I don't personally need if you want to skip looking for Scraggy.
>>58464495Unfortunately its stance changing is in despite no abilities, and the animation is slow so it delays your attack or Kings Shield by a few seconds.
>>58464677didnt see a shiny my whole time playing since the start. I think there's a guaranteed mareep but im not that far into the story
Got my shiny charm and b-lined it to the sewers. 5 minutes later this lady popped up.
>>58464755>ladythat's no lady, bwo
>>58463521is it too far from the gate to just flyspam?
>>58464755your character is cute
>500 battles leftWhy
>>58464808Hope you have a macro controller
>>58464793Thank you, it took a while to decide on something that I liked on the MC.
>>58464823nta but is that outfit from the fancy story you don't have access at the beginning?
>>58464833Yes, it's an alternate of the purple one they give you.
Got a female on the first try. Gonna take a break and then probably go for Venipede or Falinks.
>>58463937Did you use the fast travel to farm it?
20 hours into the game and finally found my first shiny.
Day 2 of hunting Shiny Dratini on the roof, not the one above Nafe Cafe the one with the bridge., still no luck, I've promised myself that if I do not get one by the end of this week I will instead go grind 1000 battles to get the charm and then do itNow then, what exactly counts towards that total, Wild pokemon or trainers in the ZA tournament? I still also haven't gotten Greninja's mega stone, I'm hoping it will become avaliable in the DLC in Feburary because I got my ass beat, the only pokemon I have are level 30 starters, absol and Gardevoir
>>58465016The tournament and cafes. Getting a macro controller and spamming Le Nah is the easiest way but if you don't have one then just do tournaments.
>>58458106Exclude shiny mareep from quest, the random shinies i have are magikarp, snover and noivern.The last one randonly spawns while I was looking for female fennekin. Once I finish the game and get shiny charm I can finally start shiny hunting. Probably start with totodile or any in wild zone 20.
>>58465040Tell me more about Le Nah, can I do that as I am now? I'm supposed to go to this corp place to meet Vinnie with Urbain but I ignored that to go shiny hunt, is this something
>>58465063I think you need to clear side quest 29 to unlock the battles there, not sure what point in the story you get it but it shouldn't be too late.If you can one shot stuff with Quick Attack or whatever other priority attack you have you can do 3 battles in ~2 minutes. With a macro you can set it up to endlessly run through it since it's just mashing A, targeting with ZL and picking the same attack over and over. I had mine set up for a full run repeating itself.
>>58464954And a bit after, got a Ralts.Male so this one's becoming a Gallade.
I'm trying for a Honedge in Zone 4 and if I'm understanding it right, fast travelling to the zone only affects a certain radius right?So is it still faster to spam fast travel to reroll the first few spawns close to the entrance? Because I've been going from the entrance to an exit and then fast travelling back to the start It feels more active
>>58465209Yes, it seems it is 50m from the point where you spawn that it will roll if you just spam fast travel.I did the run through for 1 hour and got two patrats shiny while farming for the honedge.
ok insane schizo theory. if it loads all mons in a 50m radius, if I'm farming for snorunt would flying to the poke center in the corner they spawn and just spam flying there be faster than flying to z12 and walking up?
Another day passes with no shiny mawile. Maybe tomorrow.
>>58465251I sat at the bench in area 12 to respawn everything.
>>58465288if I had a turbo controller I'd do this but I dont
Did you guys beat the game before you started shiny hunting or did you just start doing it asap?
>>58465309All you have to do is hold down and press A.
>>58465309you could just put a rubber band to hold down and then just worry about mindlessly pressing A
>>58465316I'm still rank E
>>58465322damn wait that's smart I don't even have to look at the switch
>>58458106Been hearing different things, is it possible to get the shiny charm without the link trade research?
I’m trying to hunt for a carvanah, but I don’t really understand the details of the reload method. So when I fly to the wild zone, I can peek inside without going in, and I can see that the carvanah haven’t spawned in. Because of this should I be stepping into the wild zone so that they spawn, or does that not matter and I should just keep spam flying there to reload the area?
>>58465438Put down a pin where they are and around 50m is good for a spawn even if you can't see them through the zone wall
>>58465422No. you'll be short by 4100 points. All 3 stages of (total of 5) trade evolution give 2k points, if you do all tasks, you have 1.9k leftover.
>>58465474Damn, that sucks. Guess I'll just inject it with cheats if I can.
Am I locked out of new shinies spawn if there’s already 10 shinies lurking somewhere on the map already?
>>58465463Thanks for the info! I heard that the spawn was 50m but I wasn’t sure how it was gauged
>>58465523Despawns the oldest for the 11th.
>>58465523Turns out, the 11th will "overwrite" the 1st shiny in spawning but that 1st shiny will remain saved in memory so if you free up the 10th slot by catching or KOing one it will spawn again.
>>58465523I am wondering too. I’ve been hearing conflicting answers. I need to know for sure whether there’s a random chance that 10 shiny Pidgey/Fletchling on the roof is blocking my shiny hunt.
The Pyroar uses Earth Power when the small trainer runs away
Got a shiny magikarp while doing battle zones. He's going to put to good use in ranked battles.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK first shiny snorunt was male
Found while trying to get Skarm
>>58465848>anon and his wives
>>58465769legit want to kill myself, was bench resetting and killing my thumb spamming a watching shit anime
>>58465769Brother I've gotten 3 shiny male snorunts
>>58466011Why is this hunt pain. no fast travel within 50m , just a bench
>>58466011aaaaaaaaah why cant i find shiny spinarak
>>58466091it was my first shiny, some random tree I passed while playing the game normally.
Is the resteraunt battling or royale battling faster? I want a shiny alpha manectric ffs
Is the bench by area 8 a good spot for gible hunting or is flying to area 8 better?
Brainlet here. So if the overworld has 10 shinies spawned do you really need to track those down before you start hunting your shiny? If so that is really stupid.
after 8300 mawile resets it’s nice to get her after walking in the zone for the first time. maybe a masochist and benchset for alpha since it’s in a convenient location…
>>58466253Anubis/sibuna confirmed new spawns bump old shinies so no you don’t have to sweep the map to get new ones to spawn or to make sure new ones get cached
>>58464741Woops thought I replied to this but apparently it didn't actually post. Do you need to be friends to trade?
>>58466322Ah okay, thanks for that!
Finally, just got my charm. Gonna try for Falinks. Froakie being there too is a nice bonus
