Assuming you mean alpha only:
Gamblechad? Hope for the best in zone 20 with the alphas. Otherwise running back and forth from the two spawns in the sewer since they have two spawns and one is 10% alpha.

After dragalge, fifth malamar and squirtle I finally got my shiny. All within three hours today too. Chikorita in pic is from two days ago.

No gardervoir unfortunately. Maybe it will show up when I do bulbasaur later, I want to hunt different zones first.

Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols is generated that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance. This means that the particular outcome sequence will contain some patterns detectable in hindsight but impossible to foresee. True random number generators can be hardware random-number generators (HRNGs), wherein each generation is a function of the current value of a physical environment's attribute that is constantly changing in a manner that is practically impossible to model. This would be in contrast to so-called random number generations done by pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs), which generate pseudorandom numbers that are in fact predetermined—these numbers can be reproduced simply by knowing the initial state of the PRNG and the method it uses to generate numbers

The pair of benches near the lower-right entrance to zone 20 are what you're looking for, you can reroll both of the water starter spawns, one of the grass starter spawns and even an alpha spawn.

Been full odds run away resetting for Froakie for three days now and I ended up with a single Falinks so far. Should I just give in and do the 1000 battle thing?
>>
>>58520173
If you're trying to get a single spawn or rare spawn Pokemon, abso-fucking-lutely, it's the only way to make the odds of spawning a shiny like that tolerable since you get four different rolls per mon for it to determine whether or not it comes up shiny.

They really should have had Pokemon just using them from the spot instead of doing this weird reset distance thing around the character, just have the Pokemon run around on its own, you can call it to your character like this, or tell it to go somewhere and then you can just aim the moves, would be cooler. Still broken but cooler, or ya know, just let you control the fucking Pokemon and use the moves and dodging yourself with the trainer being just a model in the background.

I had Froslass on my team since I wanted to use only new megas and I have to agree. She was my last pick in any scenario that didn't involve something 4x weak to Ice and even then sometimes she's too frail to do anything. Doesn't help that Froslass has terrible pre-Mega stats.

Same, I tried running her in every rogue mega boss battle where she had an advantage and the results were needing a bunch of revives or defaulting to any other pokemon mid fight.

I didn't use her on trainer battles or online but charging forever for any ice attack doesn't seem like a good idea, and shadow ball is slow as fuck so that wouldn't work ever online.

C. Another Shiny Alpha I don't give a fuck about (3 shiny Alpha Stunfisk's from middle btw).

Mareep in Zone 1 and Meditite in Zone 6 are taking turns fucking me. Neither of them wants to sparkle, but everything else in the areas do.

>>58521649
Shiny Ralts you have magenta zone by cafe triste. If you bench method on the bench up the ladder inside the ralts zone you also have a chance for Eevee. The best way for Ralts is to 50-70 it by running nearby but that won't reroll Eevee.

yea I've been working on completing my alpha living dex and female Gible and Gabite are two of the main things I haven't gotten yet. Only other things I'm missing are some zone 20 starters, 2 more Chespins, female eevee and I still gotta do the fossils.

Every month they have an event that almost guarantees at least 1 shiny of whatever Pokemon is in the spotlight that month. Also some events have boosted rates for raid stuff, or if you buy a ticket. Shiny Legendaries are way more common in GO.

1/20 for a legendary.
Recent rayquaza raid day was 1/10.

where?

if there is an alpha, it can be shiny'd

..shinied?
>>
thats like my 12th male kek
>>
>>58521936
There are a couple options. If you're fine with hunting meowstic you can go for the alpha one in zone 9. I think it's out of range of the bench by menectric unless you move forward a bit, but the bench should hit the three espurr near it so that might be the best for specifically espurr. Alternatively you could fast travel to 9 and climb the ladder straight ahead which brings you right to the Meowstic and would be faster but require more input or save reset as it respawns. For Zone 3 I believe the stairs does reset one of the espurr but for both you either need to bench reset or run to the corner when you go up the tower to spawn them both in. And for city espurr they are never able to be alpha so don't worry about them.
>>
>>58522023
I use dive ball
>>
>>58522007
in zone 19. City ones are never alpha. I just need two for umbreon and espeon and a female.
>>
>>58519325
I'm in a similar situation. I'm beginning to think female shiny Snorunts don't exist.
>>
>>58522027
dive balls are nice i was kinda tempted to move to net balls as theyre one of my favourites but id have to recatch my whole team great balls are probably my favourite anyway
>>
>>58522034
anon traded me one
>>
>>58521971
actually I was being retarded. You can just fast travel to 19 and you'll always see/hear the eevee if it's alpha. So this shouldn't be too bad even for the female.
>>
>>58522061
Nice. Seeing they exist has calmed me some, but its maddening I ran across four already and they are all male.

Alpha Kakuna is cool and becomes Beedrill.

I don't care. I'm not catching it until I get what I want to avoid getting another one of this

>>58522026
>If you're fine with hunting meowstic
thanks but naw, i want the stupid little pink thing and wanna lvl 100 it

Would the stairs be faster than running to corners? I'm never bench methoding because turbo controllers are cheating
>>
>>58522127
cringe this is why your target doesn't shine. I was hyped both times I got the Kakuna because it means I get to have both it and Beedrill as Alphas
>>
>>58522143
Anon's incorrect, you can just go up and down the tower normally to spawn two. I've had both. I want the female shiny if I'm gonna get another one since I already have three males.
>>
>>58522165
good for you bwo
or sorry to hear that
>>
>>58522105
No, you are just getting fucked in the ass by RNG. I've been hunting Shiny Squirtle and Totodile in Wild Zone 20 (between warping and benching) and this is what I have:

7 Malamar's
6 Roserade's
4 Bulbasaur's
4 Dragalge's
3 Alpha Hippowdon's
3 Alpha Stunfisk
2 Alpha Klefki's
3 Fletchlings
1 Chikorita
1 (Male) Gardevior
>>
>>58522170
I have a shiny non alpha female Espurr if you want it?
>>
>hunting Froakie
>Don't even like Froakie (I prefer Fennekin)
What's wrong with me
>>
>>58522143
The stairs aren't any less cheating really. You don't need to turbo benches and can just mash a. As far as the best method idk only going up and down the stairs would be getting you a single spawn while the extra second to go to the corner gets you two or you can bench in 9 and get 3 spawns. it's basically
>fastest method = 1 spawn
>2nd = 2
>3rd = 3
idk what works out to be the best
>>
>>58522105
would you trade cleffa?
>>
Used discord to go back and check when I started this aerodactyl hunt. Nine days ago, all day. I WILL get it. And I'm revisiting the Adela name, if you're here anon I actually might go with it.
>>
>>58522196
Any of those fennekin female?
>>
>>58522205
no kek
>>
>>58522170
The bottom of the stairs is 60m from the 2nd Espurr and the top of the stairs is 70m. It's definitely not spawning it and you mostly likely just got lucky as it spawned in while checking

Desperate for ZA to have post game content
>>
>>58522219
does it even make a difference doing that? each spawn point rerolls with the 1/4096 odds?
>>
>>58522209
Whatever, point is that tower method is the easiest for an espurr.
>>58522182
I'm not actively hunting for it specifically but it'd be nice if it spawned over a male when trying to get this fucking budew to show up.
>>
>>58522227
No it doesn't do anything other than stop the same spawn from rerolling
>>
>>58522199
I'm here, just said the first name that popped into my head actually
>>
>>58522227
I'll believe anything that helped me get results.
No
>>
>>58522227
while you're right, it avoids getting repeat shinies so that's a plus for me
>>
>>58522255
you should hoard them because some people might want to trade ive got lots of unique shinies from trading my dupes
>>
>>58522261
I never trade my shinies so I don't care
>>
>>58522228
The lab probably

>>58522233
for a normal one sure but if going for an alpha you should probably have as many spawns as possible. The one will just get taken up by a regular shiny after awhile as well and there is a good chance stairs would have a lot of down time of not even having a chance at rolls.
>>
>>58522272
stairs are gonna be faster then anything else in the game, though. Doesn't it also reroll for alpha after the shiny is set?

I've been teleport reseting zone 7 for a possible shiny shuppet, icecream, or Audino and I've not gotten anything. PErhaps all my luck went into finding the shit i got yesterday.
If anyone wants to trade evo let me know, I'd welcome the break of repetition and maybe it'll shake up my RNG
>>
>>58522285
>Doesn't it also reroll for alpha after the shiny is set?
pretty sure that you can't make a regular shiny into alpha no matter how much you reroll
>>
>>58522285
>Doesn't it also reroll for alpha after the shiny is set

No. Once it saves a shiny in a spot it's always the same pokemon
>>

I've been doing zone 7 for the past three days, about 6-8 hours a day, and I've gotten everything except the Vanillite I want. This zone sucks.

Oh yea there was an anon yesterday asking if zone 17 pyroar were separate shinies at day and night. I told them no since I figured they worked like everything else but while ev training earlier today it actually seems they are considered separate Pokemon for their awake and asleep states. Pretty weird behavior that I haven't seen another example of so anon might have actually had two shinies there.

Alright, I was honestly thinking of just leaving them alone since they looked cool living there but I don't want to fuck my shit up

question: if you see a pokemon fade out and back in, does that count as rerolling or resetting the pokemon or am I just fading them in and out?
>>
>>58522734
It can, but you have to move outside a certain range. Moving over 70 meters away will despawn the mon so you can reroll it. The fade out alone isn't enough.
>>
>>58522523
I've gotten 2 shiny vanillites from that zone while looking for a shiny audino. If you want to trade a shiny audino for a vanillite, I'll help ya out.
>>
>>58522744
I see thanks. Well shit.
>>
>>58522734
70m away from the 'mon counts as a reroll. Anything less is just a regular ol' phase out.

If I don't get this aerodactyl, look for me in the wilderness. Follow the trail of Creed CDs and pop tarts.

I envy you. I work full time and have a wife and two kids under 2 years, I’m lucky if I get a few hours a week.
>>
>>58522734
It can but it depends on where you and the pokemon are. If the pokemon is in the zone and you aren't they'll fade out sooner than they despawn and probably vice versa. Best to just rely on distant and double check level and gender change if you can.
>>
>>58522531

it's too far away from the whirlipede
the best method for that alpha is the walk away method
or you could try the saving before changing the time of day or the kill and wait for it to respawn method
