Lots of people are spawning them over and over on the rooftop next to Wild Zone 4 and 13.

I like to stay away from methods most people use because there is something wrong with my brain. I like the fact that all 3 monkeys spawn on the 3 trees too. Feels like a sanctuary specifically for them

It's not even about the rarity, never has been unless you're an easily-impressed fool who doesn't know his way around the intricacies of each game, it's always been about the aesthetics.

Guess I'm doing pretty well for myself.

No, no seriously dude. They NEVER had any value but the value the finder placed on them (I've reset over countless shinies in L: A, because I wasn't looking them, had 'em in my shiny 'dex and just wanted my targets). Sadly, that only applied to oneself, I don't give a fuck what your autistic determination of what's legitimate is. The fact you're trying to claim odd LONGER than the longest long-shot to win the Premier League (Leicester City, 5000/1 just before the '15/'16 season when they won the thing) as the only legitimate speaks more fro your mental defects than your opinions on shinies. Just fuck off and hunt in emerald, like every other "true" 8193tard does. This clearly is not the thread for you.

>>58479339

I just want another huge rabbit wife already. I hope my one from Arceus doesn't discover I'm cheating.

Anons, please tell me I can find a Tyrunt in the wild or something later where I can just bench reset for a shiny rather than resetting reviving this fuck, I'm losing my goddamn mind here

Sorry you can only buy the fossil in the rock store

>>58479390
I found a smorgasbord of Alpha shinies while hunting the lopunny on the peninsula in Arceus before finally finding a female, then hunting a buneary outbreak for shits and giggles found a 2nd female alpha shiny from that. I'm gonna wait as the pain of hunting the bugger in Arceus was too great (and I don't want to break my lucky streak)

holy shit. I just realized that I have three targets swsh... the ride never ends...

Is wild zone 6 the best spot for buneary?

i've been doing hunts since fucking emerald and i will never understand the autistic elitism some faggots have over shiny odds

The only way it's understandable to care about it is if you want them to matter more and be more of an exclusive and rare feature of the game, which is fine. But it's also really fucking dumb, they're just recolors, they just be made easier as fuck.

>>58479299
Ha! first shiny was a Honedge and I wasn't even hunting.

Does anyone know if there are any spots with a 100% dedenne spawn? Or is it always paired with something else? Trying to hunt this fucker but I've gotten nothing but shiny emolga and fletchling instead.

So, should you ever attack shiny pokemon?
Like are catches guaranteed on knocked out shiny pokemon?
I've caught every shiny Pokemon with the first ball, but that could totally be a lucky coincidence.

>>58479607
If its Alpha, probably. Always save first

>>58479207
Jumpscare!!

>>58479625
>Always save first
Does that really work?

>>58479634
yes
if you fail ,you can reload
the game autosaves only when you catch it

>>58479634
As long as you force close the game before hte Pokemon fully disappears if you dont capture, yes. The autosave only hits ONCE the pokemon disappears

Tips for catching beldum line? Not even shiny, just catching a beldum for the dex.

>>58480425
If the catch rate is giving you trouble, just do it like other games and weaken them instead of killing them. If they get mad just wait it out until you can throw a ball again.

Well I was only looking for a non-shiny Helioptile, but this is pretty cool too.

Another hour no Tynamo

>>58481186
Initially I was just running through the whole building in a loop but once I got the alpha arbok as a shiny I would just check the beldum room, run back and take the front teleporter, check the honedges, teleport back and repeat

The front teleporter and the one past manectric are both far enough to reset the beldum room, but they're about the same distance so I'm not sure which is more efficient

>trying to turbo AFK shiny larvitar
>get a shiny pansear after 3 hours
Eh, at least its something.

>>58481204
You have to run inside to spawn them, correct? Either way, very cool

we certain the Alpha Steelix in Area 3 can be hunted? I've been at it all day and I've gotten every other shiny around the spot and still no shiny metal snake

>>58481291
everything can be shiny except legendaries and static encounters

Got a shiny Ange Floette but my game crashed before I could screenshot lololol

I'm curious what everyone's general statistics are, what are the average number of resets you guys tend to end up at before you get a shiny? Obviously we know the odds and all but I'm curious about personal experience since it varies.

>>58481296
what exactly counts as a static encounter?
The static alpha litleo and fletchling have been shiny multiple times

>>58481328
Static is guaranteed/predetermined Pokemon. Alpha's don't count because they can vary from spawn to spawn.

>>58479855

static like the starters

in terms of quantity I'd probably say zone 12 and 15 benches. Fast traveling to Zone 5 is also good as it spawns basically everything in 16 besides falinks

you've gotten lopunny right? Were you immediately resetting each time and got it? Honestly I've checking each time since it's so close to edge of the radius I was unsure if it would actually be spawning otherwise.

>>58481782
What is this showing?

His gay porn ergoes, that's why he had to delete.

>>58481766
I've gotten 4 lopunnys. I don't even check them, I just check the fennekin until a shiny swablu/noibat/bagon spawns then I make my rounds. then usually there's several shiny weedles in the back.

>>58481792
Did you have it set to run to the wall or just bench?

>>58481800
the bench i literally just put it to do automatically before i went to bed 4 shinies in like 6.5 hours

>>58481796
okay then yea it's probably best to just reset for awhile before checking

>>58481800
Alright, awesome. I’ve been doing the run to wall, but cutting that out makes it way easier.
Also can confirm lopunny works from there as well.

>>58481714
It is an awful fucking grind and only the worst apologists would pretend it's not.

>>58481792
Nowdays you have to pace yourself so you don't overhunt, kinda wish they would lover the odds back to 8000 since theres so many on screen now.

>>58481815
1000 battles is light work compared to Arceus research goals. I'm still working on those to this day. The battles can be done in like 4 hours by spamming priority moves in the 1 star restaurant it's a total joke.

>>58481831
The main game is finished at ~300 battles. Post game is finished at ~420 battles. It takes 6-10 hours of Le Nah at maximum efficiency to reach 1000. Stop lying, faggot.

>>58481815
Why did you skip the battle zones man, i was at 600 when the game ended and still had to do 15 for the infinite ZA and after that it was just couple more which got done while leveling some shinies.

>>58481836
I'm not you're clearly aren't doing it efficiently then. 6-10 hours is also still a joke regardless

It takes 2min16s per clear at maximum efficiency. Unlike you I know how to use a stopwatch. Also unlike you I have better shit to do than spam click 2 buttons all afternoon on zero content.

Why are you even in a shiny hunting thread with this kind of mindset?

This is what I got so far. Trying to get an shiny alpha or starter from Zone 20 at the moment.

anyone else feel like shiny hunting has lost all it's... idk the correct word for it but it doesn't feel as satisfying anymore.
>loud ass sparkle noises
>big ass sparkle effects
>ability to save scum shinies
can it even really be called "shiny hunting" anymore

Hit 6200 resets on the mawile in zone 17. Getting my ass kicked right now.

>>58482022
Good luck, I've been on Skarmory for 2 days now.
1 and a half boxes of Pyroar later, not a single Skarm.

>>58482028
Damn bro, hope you get it soon then. I hate how fucking bad that zone is laid out. Does spamming fast travelling work for resetting Skarmory?

>>58482025
I don't know man my shiny alpha Metagross feels way better than that one shiny Graveler i got in HGSS

might be a dumb question, but can someone confirm whether you can get shinies from the start of ZA? or do you need to pass a certain point (e.g. Looker Bureau tutorial) to unlock spawns?

>>58482087
As far as we know everything you see after the starters is good to be hunted. I know when the game leaked people were posting shiny Fletchlings in wild zone 1.

>>58482097
Can confirm I got my shiny fletchling from zone 1 pretty much at the start. Not the first time visiting it but the second time I entered it

>>58482027
im afk benchsetting this tonight. well trying it anyway because the bench is in range but z axis might make things fucked up

>>58482097
>>58482103
good stuff, cheers lads

Was trying to get an Alpha Heracross for my in-game team so I just reset the wild zone and a pink Heracross spawned, full odds. Heracross is my favorite mon so this was super exciting. Got 5 shinies on my playthrough. Lots of fun seeing them pop up.

I'm sure trying to get a shiny Alpha Heracross is going to be a pain. All my luck is used up at this point.

I'm at 10500 Dratini and nothing, but was graciously given 2 panpour, 2 spinarak, and a fletchling, and really i almost feel like KOing them more than catching them at this point

>>58482327
Kys

Figure I’ll only be shiny hunting this for a week or so max. Not being able to bring stuff to previous games is really a killer for me. I have some ribbons to get on previous catches, anyways.

Working on zone 3, got Litleo and Pancham. I hope I get a male shiny Espurr, I like the design more. Also trying to get a shiny Pikachu for when Mega Raichu comes out.

>>58482589
If you are doing the stairs, it doesnt spawn pikachus

>>58482087
I got a scatterbug in zone one literally after the catching tutorial. I could see it wandering as taunie begged me to catch the fletch, so pretty sure no limit

Spinarak anon here, day 5, nearly at 30 bloody hours and still no little bug man. I do have a plethora of ghastly, swords, and Patrats. Can’t even give me an ekans for my troubles.

Onwards we march. I refuse to play the story until I have a bug team.

I’m gonna try and make her work my on team because she’s super cool. I don’t care how common they are.

you can bench reset him here, it's also where the alpha spawns, sometimes there's a pidgey though, but this seems to be the easiest and most reliable method instead of running behind the building

After filling box 8 halfway with other random shinies in the area I finally got a Ralts (F)

Has anyone manged to get a shiny Skarmory?

>>58483261
yeah, i found a method that gives me one roughly every 20 minutes by glitching into the ground

Does alpha Falinks have a set point to spawn or is it just “sit on bench and pray”?

Never managed to find what was triggering it after checking all the spots I could thing of so probably just a bird that ran or something but still it was annoying not to find it.

I bought a Hori wired turbo a few years ago when you could burn through the SV academy AFK to get a shit ton of money. Got it on Amazon for $20.

I'm just curious if I can walk into a store today and pick one up on the way home rather than wait a few days for amazon.

I've been trying to practice chaining in platinum, but the routes people recommend don't have anything I'm interested in, and I often just kill my own chain out of boredom

That's one of the main spots I've been using. I didn't even start learning chaining for shinies, I wanted to be able to chain chansey and steal lucky eggs.
