Quick question. Do static Alpha's only spawn in shiny once? I have caught the shiny Alpha Pikachu in area 6 once but now after 8 hours of nonstop bench auto resets with a turbo controller on top of around 6 hours of doing it manually I haven't seen a second one. I have the charm as well. I understand that this can just be shit luck, but I am just curious if anyone has gotten more than one of the same static alpha shiny.

>>58551920
Yeah they can spawn more than once shiny

If I'm doing the duplicated pokemon exploit and one of them becomes shiny, but it's NOT the shiny I want, will that spawn become permanently unavailable if I catch it? Or will the spawn remain in place and create a new pokemon there once the cooldown resets?

Almost don't want to evolve it in case they introduce a way to evolve it into Hisuian in the future, could be fun to use in Trick Room

>>58552093
It probably won't be in this game, but I assume you'll be able to do so in some future game.

>>58552105
Yeah, but at the same time I feel like they might introduce a way to reduce ivs to 0. Guess I'll just hold onto it for now.

>>58551899
About to start Legends Z-A. Is it better to skip Shiny hunting for now and focus on getting to ranked to hit Rank A? People keep saying end game gets you to 1000 battles fast anyway since it's the only thing to do.

You've got the bench in zone 17 near the Pyroar pride and you have the exploit for zone 20, but this one won't guarantee you Skarmory as one of the Alphas.

First shny of the day! How's things going for my fellow anons?

Any macrofuckbois here? What's a good thing to TP hunt? I've done all the ZA Switch-exclusives (Pans, Patrat line, Furfrous) but now I want more free shit. On holiday for a fortnight so gonna just use all the hotel electricity to farm more

>>58552242
I've got almost all the regular encounters in 20, just missing bulbasaur, tepig, and aggron

>>58552068
You have to catch/KO it, otherwise it won't roll again. Then you have to set up that spawn.
The center spawns are way easier to setup, I'm just going to wait until there's a more comprehensive guide for the normal spawns.

I swear to god if I get another fucking Swablu

Does anyone understand how day/night exclusive shinies work? If the day changes and they disappear, are they gone forever?

>>58551920
Uh I don’t think there is a bench that reaches Alpha Chu. Pokémon only spawn 10m above

>>58552370
Can't you just man save beforehand so this wouldn't be an issue?

>>58552370
I tried this with the Noibat in WZ 18. They were there after I went through another day and night cycle

Shitbird no. 4

>>58552310
I see. I'm using the method on Chespin/Diggersby, not zone 20 (and got shiny Diggersby, of course). Figured out that I can just focus on duplicating 1 spawn while leaving the other 4 unaggroed, so it isn't that bad. I was worried I'd have to start from the very beginning.

I'd like to know how that one anon theorized 7 spawns were possible, though. I seem to be maxing out at 6.

>>58552424
If you meant my post last night about charmander, you can get 7 charmander/tepig spawns independent of the alpha spawns, but you a) need to pull them to two different gates and b) you can’t fast travel or use benches, as for some reason that will cause the spawns to decrease by one for some reason. So you need to save before checking the 7 spawns then just keep resetting, and I don’t like doing that, so it’s not something I’m going to continue desu

>>58552424
The reason I thought 7 might work is since the holes still move around when they spawn thus more room for holes still. Did you get 6 with the middle hole? Because that one I didn’t get to work before. I didn’t try very long though just went for it once I realized the extra hole for whatever reason always spawns a Chespin

>>58552404
>could

>>58552453
The fast traveling despawning Pokémon is interesting… I do wonder if maybe that happened to the holes in zone 8 because the first time I went there after increasing the holes in 17 I swear the spawns seemed way higher but over time it returned to normal the other anon hunting chespin should check it out and see if it seems higher to them

>>58552291
shouldn't be too hard, the bench by the stream where folks set up the multi Alpha spawns under Agne should be the best spot for Bulbasaur and Aggron. Tepig will likely be the trickiest one.

>>58552412
Tied with WZ3 Litleo for most annoying and easy shiny.

>Get home from store with game
>Start the system
>Update available

Do I do it, bros? Will this mess with the shiny hunting or is this an old update?

>>58552487
No middle holes for me when I was setting up the spawns, just on the sides. I guess that's something to test eventually.

As far as I can tell, having 2 holes per spawn point guarantees 1 of them is a Chespin. For now, I'm happy with the 6 since that's 3 Chespin per load.

Alpha female Sylveon. We are celebrating this by getting all 6 spawns shiny, boys

>>58552575
If it's going from Ver 1.0 to ver 1.0.1 you'll be fine. I don't think there's been any further patches rolled out as of yet, but one is due at some point in November to fix a box limit bug and day/night mission bug in the early game.

>>58552581
Oh okay. Than yea if you got one of them to 3 that’s why I thought it could potentially be 7. But yea just guaranteeing the Chespin at all makes it insane. Can’t believe this was one of the hardest hunts in the game now easier than Fennekin and Froakie by a significant degree

>>58552319

So for people with normal controllers do I just mash A at the bench near the shiny I want to hunt and play runescape for 8 hours or something? And the shiny never despawns no matter how many days pass?

I guess my worries were unfounded (as always)
the teleport method does work
I didn't count the encounters for this because counting every teleport was exhausting so I probably did like around 3000 teleports or a little more

Hunting for the alpha Pyroar since yesterday. I already have a shiny female spawned, but I truly only care for a full-maned lion. A skarmory would be nice too, but I'm not holding out for one.

Question I'm trying to find a shiny Skarmory I know an alpha one shows up in Area 20 but the alphas there rotate so if I roll a shiny im not looking for is that mon going to stay there as shiny every time the day changes or any mon in that spot that spawns will always be shiny?

>>58553476
Only once

>>58553473
are you fast traveling because apparently that decreases them.

>>58553482
yes but still
I didn't get a single shiny besides metang doing this so I was questioning my life again...

>>58553485
Does it? I fast travelled to 20 specifically, not Centrico, and they weren't going down in numbers. When I started running around is when they did, but it wasn't immediately noticeable. Maybe there's something else that triggers it?

>>58553495
I don't know honestly. I've not done the glitch on them it's just what I've seen others say

>>58553499
Any chances that the benches might affect them as well?

>>58553507
couldn't tell you

>>58553540
Fair enough. Thanks man, I'll retry it later on and see if it goes better.

catching this metang is fucking impossible...

Is there a better way to hunt shiny Fennekin than benching on top of the roof near WZ 18?

Wish there was a battle facility post game that wasn't just the boring ass infinity royal or online to see my shinies in action.

>>58553629
How'd you get it? I've been going after a shiny beldum/metang for 2 days now.

Over the past 2-3 days it feels like my luck has diminished greatly. I was catching shinies left and right now it's lucky if I get one a day.

>>58553479
Is the alpha litleo in wild zone 3 always female or something?

it does work after all

>>58553674
It happens, I went 2 hours doing the Wild Zone 3 tower method with nothing at all, with charm. Statistically almost impossible, but it happens.

>>58553678
no litleo just has an 11% male gender ratio

>>58553668
Not that anon but when you are doing the teleport method. Before you even start make sure you hear it's cry. If you don't hear it's cry start over by knocking out all other pokemon near it.

>>58553698
Not having 50/50 ratios was a mistake.

I've done that and its still been nearly 2 days with no shiny beldum/metang...

>>58553707
We'll see. Depends on if the DLC is juat a re-skinned lumiose city instead of actual new areas to explore.

Do I need to knock out the static Alpha Staryu in area 2 to reset it or does it reset every teleport?

>>58553737
resets every teleport

>>58553733
it will probably be just new pokemon, new megas, new side missions and that's it

>>58553776
They obviously cant fit 100 new pokemon into the current areas. When you include the battle zones there really isn't anywhere to put them in the city currently

>>58553306
Just passed 3k checks. Fellas, is there any way to speed this up or am I just getting incredibly unlucky.

>>58553797
they will find a way to be lazy and not make new areas
they're experts at being lazy after all

>>58553798
I wouldnt describe 3k as incredibly unlucky at worst it's just below average

>>58553797
They have a strict budget and we know S/Vs DLC broke the bank even through they made it up more than enough on return with sales they never want to spend that much ever ever again

>>58553804
They made new areas for the other dlc expansions. There is no reason to not expect them to do the same here.

>>58553822
>expect
oh my sweet summer child...

>>58553797
Rumor is that its just an alternate universe lumiose city. Theyre just going to reskin the current assets and change what Pokemon spawn in the alternate versions wildzones.

is it safe to save and reset in front of a shiny if it breaks out of an apriball?

>>58553832

Why are the attacks randomly different buttons on the controller? The layout almost never corresponds to the buttons.

>>58554083
it won't save unless you actually catch it so yea save first. You can even save while a Pokemon is in the phased state before it's knocked out and keep reloading until you catch it. Assuming you aren't aggroed by other Pokemon at the time

>>58554092
fuck I meant fazed not phased... shiny brain rot is real

Big Spook

gible hunt so far:
One shiny krokcroc
two shinies numel, one alpha camerupt
one alpha drilbur, one regular
not sure if you can make more gible spawns specifically like that one anon was seemingly doing with chespin

>>58554296
Bench

>>58554363
I don't know with gible either. My only thought is maybe if you get a hole near the gate you fast travel to and lead the pokemon over to the other gate there will be enough distance to preform the glitch. At some point I want to mess around with zone 8 more

Though do wild drilbur in zone 8 know dig? Potentially you could bring them out of the zone and that could opening up possibilities.

>>58554414
the crocs do

>>58554197
I've got 11 shiny bird fucks

>>58554444
nice quads. It needs to be drilbur or gible to hopefully increase their spawns though

looking on serebii the drilbur are max level 25 and don't get dig until 28. Gible doesn't get dig until 42. However Alpha Drilbur might know dig so those might actually work

No…say it isn’t so…

Which ball for shiny Roserade you think?

>>58554709
anon the fossils aren't boosted by the charm, it's only wild encounters, gifts aren't affected

>>58554709
Fossils never take charm into account, no matter the game. They use a different way to generate the mon than wild encounters

It’s going to take hours with Jacinthe to recover from this financially

Which would be more annoying: talking about shinies like I’m gambling or as if I’m opening packs of cards?

Which ball compliments the mediocre lion best? Premier maybe?

>>58554791
Fast or Repeat

>>58554709
doing that hunt rn for alpha.
It takes 30 minutes with turbo, this is gonna be hell.
Anyway, you can save in front of the guy, revive all fossils and reset if they arent shiny.

I'd probably just pick poke... maybe fast if you really wanna splurge

Third shiny haunter before getting any shiny pumpkins… and it’s an alpha. Why do these pumpkins hate me so?

Any recommendations for the bench method? Finally got my Shiny Salamence

>>58554819
try killing time at the bench

>>58554819
what do you mean by recommendations?

>>58554791
If it were in the game, Hisui's poke ball.

>>58554819
You can hunt Alpha Manectric, Mawile, Meowstic, and the gem one i don’t remember simeltaneously using a specific bench on a roof in area 9 but it takes a little walking back and forth to see the other Mawiles

>>58554820

>>58554849
Bottle caps are pretty hard to get t. have 30 infinite wins
I ran through all mine training the shinies I already had.

Speaking of, will trade apriballs for gold bottle caps.

>>58554854
Depends entirely on what you're hunting as there's multiple methods.

>>58554866
Slowpoke

Damn, Nobody's fucking with Espurr?

>>58554872
Spam fast travel to zone 10 until you get it.

>>58554876
I got a shiny one from wild zone 3. I assumed it was because I was doing thr stairs trick, but apparently the stairs don't affect Espurr spawns, so I guess I got lucky. It's male, so i guess I'll use it in thr DLC when it gets a mega

>>58554854
Depends on your target.
For example there are some mons like Slowpoke or Kangaskhan that you can see right outside the wild area they spawn in so the best method is just spamming fast travel to that area
There are other mons who are present both day and night near a bench so spamming a on a bench is the best for them (area 20 alphas)
Some mons live in areas large enough that you can move in a predetermined path to de-and-respawn them like in Area 20 or the Mawiles and Sableyes in Area 9 . And others spawn in areas that are easy to fast travel to but only with specific battle zone spawns like Skarmory. So my advice is to pick a mon first and figure out the best way to make it respawn. You’ll know its being respawned if its gender and/or level change. There’s also some glitchy methods to increase spawn generations in specific areas but they are hard to set up.

>>58554890
it effects one of them just not both

>>58554890
Espurr is getting a mega?

ok WHICH one of you mother fuckers is telling the truth??? I swear i've checked to see if their levels and sex's change and they DO. I've been doing the stairs method for espurr for the past 3 days

I just want shiny espurr

>>58554669
Hyper Training was introduced in SM
Nature Mints were introduced in Swish
Just as a note, vitamins also aren't limited anymore either so you can max out EVs with them now (although it's cost prohibitive compared to just doing it the old fashioned way with the power items)

>>58554933
do you want a fat ass haired pumpkin (male)?

>>58554969
I have a spare but I can respect if you want to catch one yourself

>>58554969
>I swear i've checked to see if their levels and sex's change and they DO

Yes obviously all pokemon are being reloaded when you go up and down the stairs you can't check that way since it'll be loaded in when you approach. You have to use the pin and check the distance. The Espurr closest to the stairs is just barely in the 50m range but only when you come out on the bottom not when you're at the top. So it's a less common one but the stairs do get you it.

>>58554969
Im not sure anon. I've seen conflicting reports on it. I thought the stairs method affected all the pokemon in zone 3, but some dude on YouTube said it doesnt affect the Espurr and Pikachu sections. However, I did the stairs method snd got shiny Espurr in 15 minutes (woth the shiny charm). I've been trying to get a shiny Pikachu with the stairs for 2 days now and no luck though

>>58555002
yes wanna catch it myself but thanks for the gesture

>>58554949
i got a toad if you want it

>>58554982

For the alpha whirlipede, what method would you recommend. The sewer warp seems the fastest, but the zone 5 warp could pick up extra shinies

Found a shiny male gardevoir dupe if any of you FREAKS want him for another shiny

>>58555100

pretty sure fast traveling to zone 5 doesn't reroll the whirlipede

smaller male Gardevoir is better than female alpha because it's like the male Gardevoir is MOGGING the brutish female alpha in being more feminine by being smaller and more petite BRVTAL MOGGING by the male Gardevoir proving they're superior than the stylish alpha females
Just my thoughts though however albeit

>reset for a shiny alpha meta in zone 20
>get shiny alpha totodile
Alright, alright.

>>58555163
I meant brutish not stylish

>>58555179
Pleasure doing business.

I think like this but with male alpha Lopunny

>>58555197
Same anon

>>58555200
Xl male gardevoir and xs male lopunny

>>58555200
if only Froslass could be male. It makes all the feminine Pokemon 10x as sexy

>>58555208
I'm the opposite but good taste

>>58555236
I'm jealous of the anon that grabbed an alpha male shiny lopunny. I have a female and don't feel like spending more hours just to get another female.
>>58555208
Gardevoir's size doesn't mean much to me. Obviously I like male lopunnies larger than average.

>>58554849
>a bottle cap
I'd need a lot more than 1 to save 4x 0 IVs

I timed the Fennekin strats on Switch 2.

So both strats are essentially the same and it's up to personal preference.

Is the best way of hunting 8 to open your anus and prepare for a long sit for gible?

does the fast travel method work for staryu? gonna be my first shiny

>4 shiny female Pyroar including an alpha
>1 random shiny Gastly
>Zero (0) Skarmory
I HATE this bird

>>58555416
It does I just reset there until I saw and alpha Furfrou spawn inside of zone. you're overestimating how much is in range because it's definitely not half it's just the corner and doesn't even reach the gate. You're like maybe spawning in 1 or 2 furfrou each time it's like only hitting the spot with the lowest density

>>58555503
FIVE
GIVE IT UP FOR NUMBER FIVE
give it up for Shiny Alpha Male Pyroar, first time winner of the NOT SHINY SKARMORY AWARD!!!

>>58555499
It should. Either that or the bench next to the alpha at night.

>>58555524
is there a better method for that specific shiny?

>>58555527
50-70 spawn and despawn is always going to be the best for isolating a singular pokemon.

>>58555538
>>50-70 spawn and despawn
kek idek what that means

>>58555505
If so then it reaches maybe 2 spawn nodes and a shiny didn’t pop in those 2 spawn nodes in 15+ hours
But also when you’re at the bench you cannot see any pokemon. So you are assuming it’s the bench when it might just be you entering the spawn range ?
By which I mean spamming the bench itself doesn’t do anything but obviously if you’re walking in and out of range that does stuff.

>>58555562
Also we obviously know you don’t have to see a mon for the bench to be resetting because of the fennekin bench in zone 18 but yeah I could have just gone 15 hours without popping a shiny in the corner too. I’ll probably just do it over night again to experiment tbhdesu

>>58555544
Pokemon spawn in at 50m, they despawn at 70m. So you put a pin down where the pokemon spawns and run between 50m and 70m and they'll despawn and rerolll for when you run within 50m and respawn.

>>58555562
The visibility range is just decreased when a Pokemon is inside of a zone and you're outside of it. They still spawn in with all the same rules otherwise. The visibility range for alphas is increased that's why I looked for one to spawn specifically. Everything in 50m is spawning it's just not hitting a lot in Zone 19.

>>58555588
oh that seems faster. i'll try that thanks

i had a good bit of resets today but not in one spot. I'll try again tomorrow with a full controller battery and running all day. I don't wanna be in a situation where i leavy the 8bit running over night and the battery dies.

I've decided that i'd rather pay money and use my hands for other things than sit in front of my screen hitting A and turning around on a bench.

All of the main macro controller options are sold out due to youtube man. What are you all using?
