dead editionprevious >>58524199
still can't get a shiny budewbeen going up and down the tower all day. Quite literally everything else has been shiny, including a fucking goomy that randomly spawned, but not that one budew.
>>58532519I'm sorry anon, I stole your Budew.
>>58532513He cute
Ok bros I need some clarification on the bench methodBeen hunting for Fennekin for 3 straight days in Wild Zone 18 and nothing.However everything in the vicinity already turned shiny once or twice. Bagon, Noibat/vern, Swablu/Altaria, A. Lopunny & Salamence. Even the Mawile and Eevee behind the rooftops became shiny too.I have the shiny charm so that should lessen my odds to 1024My question is: Are the Pokemon around stealing the shiny odds count for the Fennekin?Or do I just go through 1024 bench resets and a shiny Fennekin will appear eventually?I hope the first question isn't right because who knows how long I have to keep rolling.
>>58532599each roll is independent, you're just unlucky
>>58532599Yah lucc succ
>>58532612Oh ok. At the very least, I'm relieved that the shiny odds don't go back to zero whenever a new shiny pops up
>>58532663What does this mean?
>>58532668He was worried that there was a counter that ticks up every time a Pokemon spawns, and the Pokemon that spawns when the counter hit 1024 would always be the shiny one.
>>58532673That's retarded
>>58532612Independent for one specific Pokemon correct?I want to know too since I'm doing the Dratini bench reset.There are no guides on Jewtube explaining if the shiny odds keep rolling for a specific Pokemon or the odds are getting stolen by the other Pokemon around
>>58532673ah lol
>>58532695Unironically, look into rng manipulation if you want to know how personality rolls are done
plox be female
>>58532721Why would you want a canonically male Pokemon to be female?
>>58532722how is braixen canonically male
>>58532735Wouldn’t have taken two balls if you used a Dive Ball
>>58533026i like great balls
Should I hunt for a shiny froakie or try to get a female alpha mawile
>>58532599>>58532663Stop playing shitty gatcha games. You're getting shitty luck but that doesn't mean it's resetting odds of finding your target. Maybe try knocking it out, saving before it respawns on the ledge behind it, out of sight (apparently it's 60 sec respawn timer) then resetting the entire game until it shines?
I think an anon was asking about Patrat in the last thread I've been afk hunting at the bench across from the Dratini that hangs out with all the Bellsprout, and Ive gotten 3 Patrat in the surrounding area off of that benchI suggest hunting there, or if you wanna hunt something else, I can toss you one of mine in like 12 hours
>>58532599check the roof behind you might have an eevee, and its likely that youre getting a bunch of wurmple and stuff rolling over your your fennekin if youre using a shiny charm and afking, there are like 6 wurmple and a kakuna in the grass patch if youre afking this thats 6 slots of shinies you get a couple altaria noibar or bagon/salamanace and it will ovewrite the fennekin
>>58533268oh i mean weedle not wurmple
>hunting area 20 for 10 hours>15s reset for 10~ pokemon spawns>Using Centrico Plaza travel pointI have 1 hippowdon and 1 Malamar to show for it. In Area 5 there have been 3 shiny Venipedes because traveling rollls them too, horrible luck.
>Suddenly hear shiny sound effect after a few hours of benching>Not one but two Buneary7 Males, 0 Female now
good morning to you, but only if you have a blue shiny in your team right now
What’s an actually nice looking shony to go for?I’m collecting just for the fuck of it but if someone wants a second set of eyes looking out for something that isn’t ballbustingly fucked to find I’ll do it.
finally i got her bros i can finish the game now>>58533734noibat is nice, all of the fennekin line are, magikarp, staryu, ralts, buneary, pumpkaboo, shuppet, snorunt, eevee for umbreon or sylveon
>>58532663>I'm relieved that the shiny odds don't go back to zero whenever a new shiny pops upWhat? All shiny rolls are independent of one another. That is just how statistics in general work anon, it's like playing slots.
>>58533734i'm jealous, i've been trying to get a clefairy from area 19 for a while. I managed to get an Eevee and a furfrou but still no sign of clefairy.
>>58533818>great ballmight as well throw it in the trash.
>>58533897its my favourite ball, i like blue and the red parts that stick out are nice
Literally the second I walked into the zone. Why can’t this happen with Froakie?
>>58533891There’s like 50 clefairies in 19. I was supprised I got her and not a furfrou of khangaskong
I must be crazy because bench resets in wild zone 20 haven't been giving me shit and i have the shiny charm
>>58533910fair enough. Great ball is probably the best looking of all the "generic" pokeballs.
>>58533818I’ve Magikarp, Staryu, Ralts, and shuppet. I wish Red Gyrados was actually shiny gold.Snorunt seems like an easy git for the most part. Watch me be wrong.
>>58533934bench resetting is ultimately a pretty lousy method that's only real merit is how afk friendly it is.
>>58533934Even with the shiny charm shit will take a while.
>hear a twinkle>don't see any pokemon around>try looping around and don't hear it againI bet it was one of those goddamn scenery birds
>>58533960they respawn shiny im pretty sure
>>58533960Just sit around the area for like a minute or so.
>>58533236Awesome, thanks. After the ‘rat, I think I’ve got every pokemon I can from this game.
>>58533818Congrats
Does the ralts/Eevee bench in the NW corner of the map have enough range to respawn absol?I have been at it for a hot minute and still nothing so I wanted to be sure
>get every shiny I want in zone 18 (swablu, noibat, bagon, Fennekin)>Realize I forgot to complete the zone dex so none of them had the chance to be alphaBack to the bench I suppose
So has anyone figured out best way to hunt shiny alpha Hawlucha yet?Tons of guides from over a week ago showing Rouge District bench method but there are other Hawlucha, surely there's a better way?
>>58534269Guessing from the bench next to the ralts and eevee. Somethimes a mega hawkucha will soawn on one of the rooftops.
>>58534356seconding this spot because that's where I got mine but I was searching for shiny ralts so desire sensor
>>58533734Is that edited or is the green ear part brighter now? Looks a lot nicer
Yay
>>58534539Are you a boy or a girl?
>>58534543Whoa whoa whoa, Professor Oak, you can't just ask people that in 2025.
>>585345852025 can suck my dick
Anyone got any shiny elemental monkeys spare? Happy with any.
>>58533734yeah can you show me if your nipples are shiny or not? pink or brown?
>>58534721...which is the shiny variant?
>>58534706Yeah, which type(s)?
>>58534706I've got a Pansear if you want.
I'm trying to hunt Froakie by flying to wild zone 5, do I have to turn around to make it spawn or can I skip that step
>>58534771>>58534783Do not mind, will take whatever, the only thing I dont want is two pansear, anything else is golden
>>58534897I've got the Pansear for you then, link code is this post number.
>>58534897Help me with a few trade evos and I’ll give you the other two after you trade with the other guy
>>58534901>>58534897Eevee or Staryu would be nice but I'm fine with anything.
>>58534901Sure! Will join this now!>>58534916Absolutely, trade code?>>58534917Sure!
>>58535054I’ll use this post for the trade evos
>>58534901Thanks a ton!>>58534916Wanna meet at this post number?
>>58535067Good trading with you, you want the spineraks back?
>>58535090Nah, you can keep the spiders, I have a metric ton
>>58535094Fair enough, thanks for the help
>>58535097Youre welcome, thanks a ton for the monkeys!
>>58535116By the way, if you want alphas, they spawn down from 13, there’s also a larvitar across from them with a bench between the two groups
Was looking for screws and found her on a rooftop. I haven't even beaten the game yet.
What happens if a shiny pokemon only spawns during the day/night? Is it gone forever when the it cycles over or does it stick around?
>>58535155It's there when the time changes again.
>>58535155It SHOULD be stored. It'll despawn when the time changes but should return when time changes back.
>>58533040Yeah, I bet you do.
That’s not a fire starter :(
>>58534757pink on brown skin is shiny duh!!
>>58535234I just got my 7th shiny Malamar looking for any shiny starter that isn't Chikorita
My luck today is hideous, nothing at all but I'll keep trying.
Chespin hunt just got easier dont have to check the Skarmory anymore.
>>58535272I stopped using that side once I got alpha dragalge and malamar.
>>58535272I've gotten six shiny falinx and three bellsprouts looking for froakie
>>58535338fuse your long boys together to make a mega mega falinks
I’m free…
>>58535325I wish I didn't still need Totodile and Squirle
>>58535379No, you're just getting started.
Got a spare Dratini if anyone wants one.
>>58535216aceburn sexo
>>58535272do you have a shiny chikorita? will trade for fennekin>>58535457yes please trade code this post
>>58535142Cool beans my dude!
>>58535300Do the lower benches work for Skarm?
>>58535379I'm 150 battles away from the big one thouwow, myself. Should be able to grind em out tonight, gj anon
>only missing Shiny Alpha Chomp, Goodra and SalamenceMy luck has been pretty decent with the shiny alpha pseudos ngl. Any tips for Goomy and Gible? Salamence seems pretty easy.
damn beedrill is pretty cool dont normally use bugs>>58535457thankyou
>>58535629I’m gonna hunt for gible more soon as well, though I don’t care about alpha for it. What I’ve been doing is going to 8 then running in until I see the Camerupt then traveling
>>58535651No problem m8
>>58535629Goomy isn't too bad you can just go in and out of the sewers across from 14 and the shiny has a 20% to be alpha. Gible on the other hand...
>>58535629Gible's already awful to hunt since there's a decent chance of not spawning any in the area at all, let alone alphas, let alone shiny alphasIf it's not raining goomy only spawns in the sewers, but if it is then there's a couple near the northwest sewer entrance and I think a fixed alpha near where the rogue starmie is fought
>>58535651yea alpha kakuna haters be damned
>>58535658>>58535679>>58535685Can you at least hear the shiny jingle when it is borrowed? I'll at least try for a bit. If it's that tedious, then I'm better off going for a Chomp in Zone 20.Knowing that there a guaranteed Alpha Goony is nice though. But it needs to rain, right?
I DID ITSHINY ALPHA FEMALE FENNEKINnah I'm just playing, it was 3 more Weedles
>>58535718Yeah, burrowed pokemon still twinkle while underground
Specifically with Gible each of the 5 holes have an 8% chance for Gible than a 5% chance for that 8% chance spawn to be alpha. Than the Shiny odds whether that's full or charm. It's way harder than the other pseudos which mostly have guaranteed spawns and 20% chances to be alpha, besides Bagon which is only 5% but has the set alpha Salamence
>>58535718>Knowing that there a guaranteed Alpha Goony is nice though. But it needs to rain, right?There isn't anon was probably just mistaken because of the high alpha chance
>>58535734You faggot, I was almost excited for you
>>58535569Probably
>>58535755Ah shit. I'll check in the sewers then, because it barely ever rains.
>>58535755Fair enough, that one was always alpha when I saw it so I figured
>>58535746All that for a shiny that's barely distinguishable from the regular. Didn't they redo some shinies in this game?
>>58535774doesn't weather change when you rest at a bench? I think it's better since you can either just keep going in and out of the sewers or the tower in 3 works too when raining. Time progresses so slow while doing it you can get in a lot of rolls before the rain ends.
>>58535756Look at my bugs, boy
>>58535782They changed slowpokes I know, but garchomp is the same old. I always run up to the ones in zone 20 because I feel like I won't notice it.
>>58535826You'll notice since they stick around.
>>58535791The pokedex size in this game is such a letdown. I wish there were at least 400 like with SWSH and SV.
>>58535812oh yea I just checked and the sewer Goomy is only 5% chance of being an Alpha so definitely not worth hunting over the city ones
>>58535816Badly organized/10
>>58535838yeah I guess. I've mostly hunted there by running into the zone and I'm still unclear on when exactly the game saves shinies to the memory
So, the only shiny that doesn't "save" is Pumpkaboo?
welp, it finally happened...I got alpha loppuny before alpha salamence...
SHINY ALPHA FEMALE RIOLU! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
>>58535816these are all from my fennekin hunt stuff on page 15 were trades for other stuff from the fennekin area
>>58535838>>58535826>>58535782At least the mega is pink
>>58535909and she's female too which is nice
>>58535884Pumpkaboo saves, there’s just two, separate sets of them for day and night.
>>58535909the reverse happened to me. Got the salamence twice before I finally got the Lopunny. The game always knows what you want.
>>58535955>The game always knows what you wantso trueI'm gonna leave the loppuny there and come back after I get a love ball
>>58535909I got that one within like 30m of bench hunting and I had no lover ball so heal had to do. Salamence took me several days, had friend balls though.
>Zone 10>Bellsprout outside the zone>Fletchling outside the zone>Absol outside the zoneZone 10 hates me but neat, Absol.
>>58535993you could have waited and caught it later since shinies don't disappear
>>58536036I want to shiny hunt brotherman, not spend potentially 100 rank ups before getting a 1% Love Ball.Lopunny was also not of particular interest to me.
>>58535994The same size as a non-shiny ekans
How do you farm alpha scraggy? Teleport in the sewer over and over? Is that close enough?
>>58536096do not engage with the vore schizo, anon

>>58535429Don’t remind me>>58535612Thanks anon. You got this bro!
>>58536187Try manage your desires. Become tsundere. The game knows.
>>58536201This keep resetting to morning and act like you're going for Drampa
>>58536187Like the other anon said, try to desire something else, like Drampa. I've found 7 Furfrou but no Drampa yet.
>4 shinies without trying just by playing the game>Nothing after a week with Shiny CharmI know it’s just RNG but fuck dude I just want my Shiny Lucha
>>58535816Doing the same hunt rn and seeing similar results, is it just coincidence or what?
>>58536279Nah it makes senseOf the area spawns, they have the most, so there's inherently a higher chance they'll be shiny compared to the others, especially if you're going for a single spawn like the alpha lopunny
So I can now confirm, wz20 alphas DO NOT DESPAWN ONCE SPAWNED. I didn't understand why i could only roll an ice cream cone (literally one of 3 things in the pool i didn't want) but once spawned it'll stay there, like everything else.
>>58536332English?
>>58536242Giwtwm
>>58536372are you trying to say "give it to 'em" in some compressed uwu-gurlz headass kind of way
>>58536464anon...
>>58536464GodIWishThatWasMe
>>58536352Sorry, I was super excited. Yesterday, I was told that zone 20 alphas in the center area would NOT respawn again if they were shiny and de-loaded. However, I managed to find a shiny Vanilluxe and didn't understand why it kept respawning after I deloaded it, until I checked it and it turned out to be shiny. I'm sure it's common info here by now, but just thought it was prudent to share for others anyways.
Getting real tired of this Chespin hunt
First shiny of the day being Eevee (male) is a good omen. I hope.
>>58536242Once i get my turbo controller I'm gonna try macroing the Ralts spot and get a HAwlucha. I probably won't use it so if you're around when i find it I'll trade it to you.
>>58536616what are you finna evolve him to
>>58536624dont get a turbo controller get a mayflash ns 2 theyre based
>>58536649I dunno. I was never an eeveelution fan. I might turn it into an Espeon and name it Glorp but out side of that eh. Might just sit in the box. I wanna get a shiny alpha Larvatar at some point. When I get a turbo controller I might AFK Macro that. >>58536656It's a controller that allows you to set macros so I'll AFK bench shit over the night and see what i get. I plan on giving out what I likely find to people who want them
Cant wait to eat cheese and crackers, half a chikcen sandwich and sip energy drinks while looking for a charmander. I bet I end up with a Gallade and a Lucario.
I have 4 shinies in zone 18 now and this stupid salamence still refuses to shine REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>leave area 19 to do something else>immediately find shiny female ice creamGood omen it is. Holy moly.
Committed to a shiny spiritomb hunt. Hatching them now in Violet. I forgot how painfully slow breeding pokemon is after being spoiled with sandwich shinies.
>>58536791Sandwich powers speed up hatching as well btw
>>58536812Which sandwich? Egg power?
>>58536624That’s nice of you anon but you don’t have to do that. I wouldn’t feel right taking it from you
>>58536842Yep, same one. Better stock up on that sweet herba.
>>58536851Nah I don't mind. Part of getting shinies is giving them to people who will actually use them.
god dammitthis isn't the green dragon I want...now I have 5 shinies in the overworld but no salamence...
>>58536791you can breed spiritomb????? i actually like egg hatching its my favourite shiny method
>>58536884just level up your salamence.
>>58536884i could trade a salamance
>>58536899>>58536904I want my own alpha salamence
>>58535919Yoooo, even your city's an alpha :O
second shiny Tepig...
>>58537025I hate you but i just got a female totodile so it even out.
>>58537069Fuck you man i'm going for Totodile!

Found a shiny Falinks. Does anyone even like this pokemon?
>>58537169I don’t, but its very popular with normalfags.
>>58537169only the most insufferable faggots
I hope the dlc drops by december because i need a shiny purrloin for my dex

>>58537270>4channel>5 orbs???
Nice, Shiny Alpha Sharpedo.
>roserade>hippowdonwhy are these shitters here? they were all over arceus too why not bring something new
>>58537537>still can't find a shiny budew
>>58537537this but pidgeys and fletchlings
Any advice for powering through this? I'm just kind of over the shiny hunting at this point. How do you guys continue on reset after reset after reset, even with breaks in between I just feel like it's all mind numbing and a waste of money/time. I don't know, I know it's not for everyone, I'm just at wits end with some of these mons and venting.
>>58537580
>>58537537Roserade makes sense, lots of rooftop flower gardens and it being elegant and shit fits into the france region. Hippowdon tho I agree, makes 0 sense, at least in Arceus it fit well in the swamp map. I guess they did it for 'animal' variety but I would preferred Mudsdale.
>>58537580I trained my patience with 1/8192 odds shiniesresetting for starters in gen 3 only to get like 7 uncatchable poochyennas, weeks and weeks without a single shiny, etc etc
>>58537580I hear you, I've been hunting Skarm since the game came out and still haven't seen one.
>>58537580Once you have your one hunt, that one hunt that drives you into deep despair everything else is easy and you don't mind the suffering anymore. Searching for shiny Registeel for 20,000 resets in Ruby nearly killed me, I wanted to suicide, but now everything else is fine.
>>58537592Guess that makes sense. >>58537595Yeah, I don't get how you have the patience for it after so long, it's just tiring the older I get. >>58537597I'm on Aerodactyl right now with no luck. >>58537599I've had plenty, I'm just too burned out at this stage I think.
In the time I've been trying to get a female Ralts I'm actually surprised I have yet to get a shiny Eevee or Shuppet.
>>58537611How many weedle and fletchling?
Patrat anon, you around?I left my shit auto benching for 10 hours and got 2 more Patrats and 6 Bellsprout
>>585376113 ralts1 abra1 shuppet1 weedleLike 6 buns0 Eevee0 absolReally makes you think huh?
leaving just 100 points after you complete every other part of mable's research is so irritatingtime to grind the last 500 battles :D
>>58537779good luck, I've got another 128 to go. I'd recommend clearing out some of the trainer battle side missions first if you don't feel like doing them after getting the charm.

>>58537962Up to you, but consider the possibility that the DLC may introduce outbreak mechanics like the daybreak update for Arceus. I hunted shiny Oshawott for months before the update dropped and it was a fucking pain since it was distortion only and when I finally got it it was an XS. A week after the update dropped I got an alpha shiny in an outbreak.

I finally understand the appeal of this shit. As much as the rng gods blue balled me in the beginning, I have such a high from FINALLY catching this thing. Now I want to try and find a shiny metagross.
>>58538069one of us one of us one of us
>>58535629you can also find goomy near a fountain on a building across from the wild area 3 staircase top, and i can confirm that one can be alpha too. so if you've ever staircase farmed in the rain be sure to find rain again and check that one.
>day 4 of shiny hawlucha on the resturant le yeah rooftop>0 hawluchas, 3 mawiles, 4 pidgeys and a shuppet does anyone have other hawlucha farming locations? i think this one is busted
>>58538069>wrong ballI can’t even look at the game anymore because I caught my shiny Malamar in the wrong ball.
There are no wrong balls only wrong trainers.
Someone said the Cafe Ultimo fast travel works with the roof LarvitarI'm willing to try it out since there's other shinies in the area I wouldn't mind
What’s the best way to hunt froakie
>>58538192with a rifle. but if you're looking for a shiny froakie your only option is the wild area 5 fast travel spam
>>58538214Why 5 and not 16
>>58538236nta but fast traveling to zone 5 leaves you the closer to froakie
>>58538130I think rooftop of a building next to clothing boutique in northwest have guaranteed Hawlucha spawn?I always see it while I was hunting Riolu
>>58538236if you warp to 16 you have to walk up to the entrance to spawn the froakie in. warping to 5 spawns the froakie right away so you don't have to move.
>>58538284Ah
best place to farm a shiny swirlix?
>finally find a female alpha chikorita>a new day is dawning>got the save down with only 6 seconds left>just enough time to throw a ball and have the catch animation playjesus if after two days hunting this I lost it to the night transition I'd be pissed. Just need one more Alpha Tyrunt and I can let myself get the charm.
>>58538303the shiny doesn't disappear, anon
>>58538309I wasn't hunting a shiny
>>58538314ahthen yeah, you might lose it
>>58538309Anon wasn't talking about a shiny, just sharing an Alpha story I guess.
>>58538309Do shinies now never go away until you catch them. Could I just spam fast travel without looking
>>58538327>Do shinies now never go away until you catch themyeah, they never go away. You can have at least 10 shinies in your game. When you get an 11th shiny, one of the other 10 will get replacedright now I have 5 shinies in zone 18 (swablu, alpha loppuny, alpha kakuna, noibat and noivern) and I have been bench resetting for a while and they're still there
>>58538327More or lessSkittish Pokémon will still fuck off if you spook themPokémon that only appear during specific weather will still only appear during that weather, even if the game remembers them
Has anyone else had Pokemon that have disappeared in ZA>the sleeping Buneary behind the fence by the stone emporium were always 3>get one shiny catch it>few days later>still only 2 spawningwhat the fuck! where is he!?
>Check the triple Buneary walkway after 2 hours>Female>Alpha Female>Shiny MaleHahahahaha what the fuck are the odds of 9 males in a row?
So happy
What should I do with this male eevee? I want to use one for pvp along with skarmory and metagross. Meta is glaceon with nevermelt right?
More information about coming out about Zone 15 is Pumpkaboo shiny will not save if you AFK it. Sizes don't get saved so shiny doesn't get saved. If you see one catch it ASAP, if you want to hunt one, you can't bench or fast travel spam.
>>58538443make him an umbreon
Look who came out of her cave
Today I got 4 shinies, which I haven't caught yetThis salamence will be the death of me...I hope I get it tomorrow
>>58538461There are different pumpkaboos at night and during the day. it's like the pinsir in 13, lions in 17, they'll come back the next night.
>>58538549>salamenceHe is easy to get if you bench reset on area 18. What is hell is getting a shiny eevee, especially a female eevee.
>>58538652that's what I'm doingI got loppuny, 2 swablu, 2 noibat, 1 noivern, one male eevee and probably a bagon but no salamance yet
>>58538661I forgot about the alpha kakuna too
>>58538555Are you sure?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf9PpqWtCds
>>58538740Either I am beyond lucky or I'm sure
>>58538360Yeah, area 15 Larvitar has spawned 3 in the past and now seems to only spawn 2.
>>58538360I swear when I started my Drilbur hunt in Zone 8, there were 4 or 5 mole mounds, but as the hunt kept going only 3 would show up.>>58538300Try repeatedly fast traveling to Nouveau Cafe food truck #3. At least I think that's the right one, it's somewhere on the west side of town. But it has a static alpha Swirlix and a static non-alpha Swirlix on rooftops within range of the fast travel point.
>>58538360I used to get 3 bagon and 1 salamence but after I got my first shiny bagon, only 2 started to appear and never 3 againI thought I was crazy
>>58538828I'm currently hunting Larvitar and it just dependsSometimes it's 3 sometime it's 2
Now you guys made me paranoid. I only have 3 Drilbur/Gible holes.
>>58538912CURSE OF MACHOP UPON YE
>>58538898Easy to get Larvitar, but getting an alpha one is the challenge.
Got my shiny onyx after only a few hours, not an alpha but I'll take it. This game has been good to me
>>58532519Lol, randomly ran into a shiny Budew today, managed to catch it in extremists before it ran away. Is there any way to speed up the grind for the battle requirements for the shiny charm? That shit is boring.
>>58539021apparently you can do it faster with a dragonite and spam extreme speed
Woah that's cool.
>>58539028Which spot is this? I'm giving up on where I have been trying
>>58539036Bleu Sector 4 building across to the right of Espace Vide next to W10.
>>58539021>Get a 60+ gyara with spike helmet and whirlpool on A button>place a rubber band on the L button to auto lock>cafe le nah and turbo A>masturbate for 8 hoursUnless you want to spam ES dragonite that is the afk method of getting a thousand battles
>>58539040I think he was asking about the method you did to get it
>>58539050Triangle building to the right of Cafe Rouleau and W9 running back and forth along the vertical straight side.
>>58538940What method did you use? Soft resets or just walking back and forth? Ideally I'd want a shalpha (duh) since I already have a shiny in Home I can just bring over whenever they enable it but I'd be fine with a regular shiny
>>58532513Just start hunting fennekin for next season's mega stone. After four hours I got bagon, swablu and alpha female lopunny.
>>58538109tfw found this out before getting that budew on that same rooftop to shine
>>58539094Distance spawning, it sucks but with 2-3 larvitars at a time it's definitely faster than any bench method. Haven't gotten an alpha yet, just 3 shiny larvitars. I took a break and spent some time grinding area 20 with the same method. Finally got my first shiny starter in a charmander, shame he wasn't a big boy though because I have 2 other pentaperfect Zards I MMd generations ago.
>>58539337If you're trying for an alpha the zone 15 Larvitars are far worse. only 5% chance instead of 20% on all the city ones.
So on the top of decreasing wild spawns: After noticing only 3 drilbur holes in 8, I restarted the game, did a reward match, and killed everything in that zone. Now there's 6. Is this actually indicative of anything or just placebo? Well probably the latter, but I'll keep doing it occasionally if I feel like the spawns aren't hitting.
