>>58596466>lucky number seven edition>66oh no no no
>>58596466Anybody want anything from area 3
Is warping to 17 enough to roll Chespin, or do I have to actually enter and check the holes?
Nest or what?
>>58596885Maybe fast.
>>58596895It’s way more orange than red
>>58596903it was orange in the past...
>>58596910Too bad we aren’t in Hisui then
>>58596885Level?
>>58596920okay? I'm talking about Johto tho
>>58596921Good call. Time to save scum
>>58596885You don't have many options if you're matching color. Dive Ball looks good no matter what's inside.
>>58596943I leveled it like >>58596921 suggested. I’m allergic to repeat balls.
7 Drilbur, 16 Numel, 13 MachopThis is going great.
>>58597180Have you tried duping the spawns?
How it feels to get another retarded blue gardewhore
>>58597204Are you looking for a Male ralts?
>>58597202Haven't looked into it, was going to leave it for 20, but if I fill another box I might
>>58597219No I’m looking for the alphas in the center to shine
>>58592426I've got one for you when you're free.
Do buried pokemon make the shiny noise or do they need to come out first?
So I imagine it's possible to get shiny fossilemons in ZA, but my questions are:1. Is the mon being shiny decided when you buy the fossil, or when you resurrect it?2. Are the shiny odds fixed, or boosted by the shiny charm?
>>58597356the fossil is not an egg, it's an item. why would the odds be determined then?Everything is boosted by the charm, dummy.Are you new?
>>58597356When you resurrect it, and fossils aren't boosted by the charm.
>>58597356>Are the shiny odds fixed, or boosted by the shiny charm?odds are fixed for fossils but it doesn't autosave when you restore them
>>58597204Going for Chikorita myself, same experience here. And they're all males too, just to rub salt in the wound.
>>58597369>>58597360which is it?
>>58596466why the fuck can't i roll a tepig or charmanderi don't want another fucking ugly piece of shit malamar
>>58597377https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1978816201141723357Directly from a dataminer.
I've been desensitized to shinies I don't care about. Not only do I not bother catching them now, I outright kill them for displeasing me.
>>58597419Maybe I'll do that and send the next Numel I see to hell.
i'm officially giving up on the gible hunt (for now)the gible overload spawn method apparently doesn't work on switch 1 so i'm going to wait until i can afford a macro controller and just overnight it until i get itat least my beldum hunt went well, 1st check
>>58597360Calling me a dummy and still getting the info wrong, looks like I was right to ask, dumbass.
>>58597329bump
>>58597492they make the sound while buried
>>58597495noted thanks
>>58597477It's very satisfying.
>>58597308Sorry my sleep schedule's fucked cus kirby, I'm here now.Do you want an apriball for it?
>>58597525Sure. If you have a moon ball but any apriball is fine.33663366
Anyone want a fully trained, level 100 Shiny Alpha Metagross in an Apricot ball? I am so tired of the current meta, help me trade him into something better.I’d like an Alpha Shiny Froakie or Delphox. (Or, anything in either line).Please, have it be in any decent apriball.I also have golden bottlecaps available to sweeten the deal.
>>58597486Lucky, I'm still going for mineAt a full box of bycatch by now, hopefully it won't go to 2 boxes
>>58597486The overload with breaking Drilbur out works, but I think it corrects after a certain amount of time so you'll constantly be losing spawns.
>>58597525Maybe some other time then.
Been trying to get a shiny Chespin for a meme all shiny Kalos starters Ranked team, and I've got 13 of the fucking diaper shitting rabbit I hate instead of one god damn lil dude.
>>58597561Oh jeez sorry I'm still here if you are. I've got a moon ball.
>>58597419>>58597477i deleted most of my hippowdons. genuinely top 5 least favourite pokemon
>>58597647that sucks. i got mine almost instantly. on the other hand, i can't for the life of me get a tepig, which i want way more, so we're all still suffering.
saw some past threads talking about turbo controllers and macros. forgot I had one.goddamn. I can actually do other stuff while it goes on. its cool but i still have stockholm syndrome from hunting manually. I'll probably hunt legit first and then turbo the rest of the same mon.
>>58597647you should do that exploit where you spawn in a total of 5-6 dig spots in that small area. I did that, took awhile but I got my shiny chespin who happened to be female.
>>58597645Oh hey, it's you again. I would've put it on something other then a drilbur if I knew. Thank's for the funny fox in a luxury ball!
>>58597681I'll look into that and do that. Been doing this hunt all weekend and have just been flooded with these pants shitters. I'll keep the alpha in case I do a shiny dex, and probably just give the rest away next weekend.
>>58597694No prob. Enjoy. Thanks for the moon ball.
>>58597699yeah i've been trading my dupe shinys away when I trade for a ball or what not. generous on the outside, but I'm trying to get rid of these things.
>>58597486It's not going to guarantee a Gible spawn, but knocking out the Numel, Machop and other pokemon around the area seems to increase the number of holes, so doing that before an hour of fly resetting is beneficial
>Said I'd murder the next Numel I see>Game gives me Sandile I only have one other ofwell played
>tfw get shiny giratina after 1313 SRs>get it to 1 HP>it kills my smeargle>change to my shitty staravia to revive the smeargle>shadow force fails to kill staravia>use quick attack like a retard>kill itthis is why you don't fap while hunting, brosI WANNA KILL MYSELF I WANNA KILL MYSELF I WANNA KILL MYSELF I WANNA KILL MYSELF I WANNA KILL MYSELF I WANNA KILL MYSELF I WANNA KILL MYSELF I WANNA KILL MYSELF I WANNA KILL MYSELF AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOW CAN I BE SO FUCKING STUPID REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Finally some good fucking food
>>58597893ragebait harder next time dumbass
>>58597888Violence is always the answer
>>58597917I'm too dead inside right now to rage harder...
>>58597893I'm sorry for your loss anon, was it a sad cum?
>>58597929>was it a sad cum?I didn't cum, I was just edging....
>fly reset zone 14>shimmering alpha OnixYeah OKStatistically speaking getting an alpha Aron/ Lairon shouldn't take too long but knowing my luck I'm not gonna
>>58597936Now you can't until you get it again.
>>58597942I'm just gonna cum out of spite... I'm too sad, angry and horny right now to not do it
>>58597955Take this somewhere else faggot
>>58597966why don't you fuck off then?this is not your safe space, faggot
>>58597972Ah you’re right, my badNggggh guys I’m cumming ohhhh I’m cumming nnnghhh ohhhhh
>>58598001good for you bwoor my condolences
So can you macro the + button to fast travel on the 8bitdo?
>>58598093yes. i'm using the pro3, i saw it lets me macro joystick movements.i'm doing it right now for froakie. i want a female to complete my female kalos starters
Currently hunting for Spiritomb in BDSP, about 1100 resets in
>>58596877Warping is enough to reroll the Chespin and Diggersby spawns.
>>58597563I have an alpha shiny greninja
>week later and I still can't find a shiny Applin in Scarlet even with outbreaks and a sammichEasy my ass. Maybe I should just breed this fucker.
>>58598260Where are you hunting them?Because if you're in kitikami, they can spawn in the trees.
>>58598289Exactly there, Apple Hills.
Anyone got a Friend Ball? Found a shiny alpha Leafeon, I'll trade a heavy/lure ball or a shiny vanillite/pikachu for one
>>58598292You gotta pay attention to the trees, cus they'll spawn in them before dropping down. But weirdly enough I only got a shiny applin in paldea.
>>58597903I find non-Alpha Hawlucha is more optimal since most of its good moves are >*teleports on top of you*>Pssh, nothing personnelso it doesn't need larger moves hit boxes.
Even if I don't plan on overloading the spawns, would trying for a shiny alpha Metagross is zone 20 be better than trying here in the lab?On top of the full shiny odds, its a 1/67 chance for the correct alpha for zone 20 vs the 1/20 alpha chance The trade off would be a wider variety of bycatch
Looking to trade for a XS female Ralts and Mawile.
Is there a mon more suited to a luxury ball? maybe Rayquaza. Also got a shiny Tepig, was the dive ball the right call? looking at Emboar it seems like it.
>>58598659Dive ball is a nice choice for shiny Emboar.
I still can't believe I fail that giratina...I'm so fucking retarded
>>58596885How did you get so many mons to spawn in the center? I only ever get 2 spawns.
>>58598709nta but it's a glitch/trickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuX9lfo_bKA&pp=ygUeYWxwaGEgc3Bhd24gem9uZSAyMCBwb2tlbW9uIHph
>>58598702Make sure to cum first next time for that post nut clarity
>>58598731i had a crashout, bro... I deleted all my pornI can't believe I've been wasting so much time with that shit...sigh... it doesn't matter... I'll get back to the hunt tomorrowthis isn't the first time I failed a shiny anyway. Years ago I failed a shiny zapdos on gen 3 because I didn't have a master ball and I couldn't catch it before it used all the PPs... But then I got back again and brought a master ball the next time
>>58598731This is a fool’s trap. Cumming makes you lose your edge and make amateur mistakes like killing Giratina with a scrappy quick attack.
>>58598715Damn, thank you!
Day is over and no Gibles. Good luck on your own hunts, may tomorrow be the day.
>>58598636Im pretty sure I accidentally KO'd an extra small.How the fuck is its catch rate so low even at max rank with the max charm?
>>58598709After doing this like 100x it works best if you let the mon run back to the lamp so you have extra distance getting them to snap to the tower nest.If you’re trying to snap a pokemon to the left/center I’ve found pulling from the left and snapping to the right seems to get them to stick better than pulling from the left and snapping to the left. No idea why. Sameish for the opposite side. Pull from the right, snap it to the left. But in general the right hand snap side just seems to be more successful.By snapping I mean the final spot you’re pulling the pokemon back to the tower to. When you warp away after reloading the alpha snaps back into one of the nests and makes it “active”.Best mon to pull are Kaijumon, pseudos, big fat fatties like garbodor, monkeys, roserade. Absol is a meme don’t pull it.
>spawn shiny fennekin>go up to check it out>altaria being a fuckass bitch>kill it real quick next to ladder>save game as I prepare to engage the fox>it despawned in the chaos
>>58598927why didn't you save before entering the zone, anon?
>>58598938I wanted to save right next to it so I could spam apriballs
>>58598945you need to learn how to save, bro
>>58598927Rip. It's always a gamble if you jump in without saving. I also forget that ko'd shinies aren't a 100% capture rate.
>>58598260Isn't there an afk auto battle method in the graffiti forest?
>trying to find an xs mawile >KO that manectric cus it bothers me >it's now docile and doesn't attack me after respawning in I'm in the roofs on area 9. I took pictures. What the fuck.
>>58598985See>>58597919Also, I got an Alpha male Modest Chikorita in a Nest Ball if anyone wants him.
>>58598985I've spawned a shiny before xs.XS confirmed rarer then shinies.But I've got several boxes of shinies and no xs's at all.
>taking a break from doing trainer battles (just shy of 800 wins)>decide to full odds a couple of different places>get a shiny aggron and charmander from zone 20I spent the least time there, and yet it's the only place I got any shinies from. Rip.
Still looking for a Shiny Alpha female Ralts or Gardevoir. I've got a Shiny Fennikin or Charizard I'd be willing to trade for either. Also gotta bunch of Alpha Starters if you're into that instead.
The pain of trying to get a love ball from ranked and consistently getting 1st and 2nd and not getting it...
>>58599356Still going....I've lost like one game...
I am 74 battles away from the 1000 battles and just need two more evolution trades to get the Shiny Charm.
>>58599483I am trying to get a love ball for this shiny mawile in front of me and the ranked refuses to give me one
>>58599494OH GOD FINALLYHOUR AND A HALF LATERI LOST LIKE THREE TIMES TOTAL
>>58599483If you've got a Shiny Kadabra I could do a straight trade for one of mine.
Just got a shiny furfrou and a shiny alpha furfrou by running through zone 19, checking the garbodor and the monkeys, then auto-piloting the thing and running back instead of flying (as I used to run-reset the monkeys in the courtyard near 19). Where's the furfrou E4, I'm almost ready to take the squits on.
>>58598968That worked. Just realized I don't have a level ball for when it evolves into Shiny Hydrapple. Should I just go luxury?
>>58599273I benched there for 4 days straight, only stopping to check and catch maybe twice a day, and all I have are shiny malamar.
can you check which shinies you have active with pkhex?i have a drilbur and a shiny alpha excadrill active but i don't see them anywhere
>>58599955 meoh nvm, saw that pkhex updatedwhat are those mons below?
>>58599992I wish it would tell me where the Shinies are. The Scatterbug is still SOMEWHERE. Also that it would tell me where the last screw is.
>>58600125yeah, a tiny map with a general location would helpor coordinates, considering we can see our character coordsi know where those two are (zone 14) because i'm reseting zone 14 nonstop
>>58600159I hope the next update does give a rough estimate of where shit is. I'm so tired.
>>58600164at least scatterbug doesn't vanish when you get close, so you can try going to main scatterbug spawn areas and then... tree hunting.....good luck anoni am tired of the drilbur line. got my first shiny drilbur trying to get sandile/gible. then those two cunts when i was trying to get aron. i have the charm... 4 shinies in 100h, 3 of those are drilbur related and one is a fucking patrat outside zone 19.
>>58598355I use nest balls on Leafeon, I have 3 of those alpha bastards.Its shiny is horrible.
I got a shiny chespin. Quick, what ball should I use?
>>58600219Dusk ig
>>58600219regular pokeball
>>58600223>>58600225Got him in a friend ball. Not the best none of the balls really fit. Will work with mega chestnaught really well
>>58599483Technically the 1000 battles gives 2000 exp so you dont need to clear all the missions to get it.
>>58598927>not taking the longer/safer way around to fennekin's roof gateMust suck to suck
>>58597486NEVERMIND ANONS NEVER GIVE UP NEVER QUIT NEVER STOP COPING
>>58600375That's a cutie. Congrats anon.
>>58600275Fennekin is more likely to get spooked when you enter that gate. You have to go the dragon path.
>>58600375now do alpha
Has anyone here tried or know if overclocking helioptile spawns in WZ14 works?
Does the Bench next to the junkyard in Wildzone 20 actually refresh Alpha Pokemon in the middle, if im doing the 6 alpha method? I swear this spot just doesn't seem to work
>>58600469Unironically easier to hunt it in Area 20.
>>58600566Only some of them.Center alphas must be distance spawned/despawned to be efficient.
Does anybody know exactly how Beldum Shiny farming works in the lab? I got it to work only once but then hours of grinding later I haven't gotten a single other shiny.
>>58600583You have to fast travel from when you see the beldum then in the teleporter room, you need to hear their cry
>>58600594i guess it's just bad luck....
>>58600578Damn it seems very inconsistent. I can at least use the other bench to consistently respawn the front 3 at least
>>58600594are they supposed to be ridiculously quiet
>>58600594I keep seeing people say they can find a shiny Beldum without the cry but I've yet to see any evidence.
>>58600714it doesn't help that its cry is super quiet and doesn't sound like either of its dex cries, being SUPER short
>>58600431You can open the menu by pressing X, then you can press R to manually save your progress before attempting a catch. Hope this helps :)
>>58599992What's the miscellaneous section mean?
>>58600737If you do that there's still no reason to go the Fennekin gate. I'm also not the anon that chased the Fennekin away.
Finally got my Shiny Charm. Only need the last Colorful Screw. Then I can just devote time to Shiny Hunting.
So is this okay for setting up a macro?
>>58600814>Only need the last Colorful Screw.why do people care about this past the ones that give you boosts?
>>58600922big canary plushie
>>58600922>already collected 90-whatever%>might as well finishIt's like a much tamer version of sunk cost fallacy
>>58600939the reward is exactly why i'm asking why give a shit.>>58600940i guess i'm fortunate to have other tisms to worry about
>>58600948big canary
>>58600948Cause I like Canari
>>58600939>>58600953>big Canari plush doesn't increase the chance to find an alphaMissed opportunity.
>>58601046>can't use the small Canari plushes to increase the chance of xs or sHopefully there's a charm in the dlc for all sizes even non-alpha XL.
>>58600976ok Nazeem
>>58600757>I'm also not the anon that chased the Fennekin away.whatever you say, sweaty
>want to hunt Shiny Alpha Froakie and Shiny Alpha Gible>realize after an hour just trying Shiny Alpha Froakie is aids unless I get a controller that I can assign macros to >only got a Hori Split Pad ProYeah, no, I'ma just wait or hunt shit I can hunt by afking and trade for it. I should really get some sleep since I worked night shift.
>Fast traveling for Shiny Froakie>Suddenly Alpha Shiny Falinks.I thought zone 5 travel didn't reach Falinks spawns?
7 dead shinies today, no Gible. Might go back to catching them.
>>58600906I don't know about the 2C, I'm using this one.
>>58600906This one can only turbo one button. The only shiny reset you can do is bench. You need to get the $60 bluetooth controller for more advanced afk hunts
I just found 4 shiny Weedle, an alpha Kakuna and a Pidgey by the Zone 18 bench.
>>58596466>Postgame so shitty the only thing to do is grind for shinies.Holy fuck Z-A is a disaster. This is somehow even less fun than BBQ grinding.
bait. but also BBQs are fucking cancer and took a whole year to come out. i sure hope the Hoopa DLC doesn't add any shitty "postgame" grinding just for the sake of padding playtime.
>>58601331why add postgame when you can release an unfinished game and make people pay for postgame instead?
>>58601560meant for>>58601470Also funny how they're locking content that's already in the game behind their shitty free-for-all "ranked" mode, and how they pretended to delay the game only to actively make it worse upon release
You still bought it.
>>58601649I pre-ordered it with a NSO voucher since I had an extra and since it was delayed I assumed they would make it good.Then Nintendo ended the voucher program and the trailers came out and it still looked decent enoughThen the release came and it was actually worse than in the trailers
>roll 2 Shiny Alpha Ralts>1 male>1 female>catch both in premier balls>male is Quiet>female is JollyBalls
>another Gardevoir>male to rub salt in the woundJUST GIVE ME MY FUCKING CHIKORITA
>>58601470The post-game Zygarde Boss Fight definitely is how every Rogue Mega Boss Fight should've played like. It kinda gets there sometimes with how Mega Hawlucha and Mega Starmie actively chase your ass, and how balls to the wall Mega Banette can be with the clones, but those are the only three that do anything noteworthy, the rest are more or less the same.
Are the trubbish around the city programmed to not be alpha or something? I haven't found a single one
>>58598355Still looking to do this if anyone has one.
>>58601787Yes, they have a 0% chance according to Serebii's interactive map. Makes sense given the narrow alleys they're usually found in.
>>58601795I see. Is there any spot where they are able to be alpha?
>>58601792I'll take a Pikachu for one. Code is this post number.
>>58601787yeah outside the wild zones only single spawns (like dratini, hawlucha, larivtar, absol) and preset mons can be alpha's (like the kakuna outside wild zone 18)this is also why alpha eevee is only available in wild zone 19
>Shalpha Tepig>Shalpha TotodileHoly fuck. Now I just need a shalpha Chikorita to complete the ZA trio. If the game would be generous enough to give me shalphas of the other starters as well, I wouldn't mind.
>>58601804Thanks anon, appreciate the Gardevoir too c: you take care and have a good one!
>>58601822Likewise, thanks!>>58601802According to Serebii there's a guaranteed alpha in Vert Sector 5, south of Wild Zone 2.
>>58601787I found a few, but they're not shiny so I usually just run past them.
>>58601829found, thank you!Can you link the map if you don't mind?
That anon was right. Shalpha is the stupidest word but we cant replace it with anything better. Maybe Alsh?
>>58601846https://www.serebii.net/pokearth/lumiosecity/>>58601853The harder you try to come up with an alternative the worse it's gonna sound. Shalpha is stupid but its what everyone settled on naturally, just accept it.
>>58601853how about shiny alpha?
>another Roseradeplease save me from chikorita hell
>>58601977Save me from Gible hell.
>>58601853I’m at the point where I’m just going to say shiny alpha.
>500 wins to finish the research>still rank EWhy do you guys recommend finishing the game before doing this? It's boring but pretty easy to do it before.
>>58602158It doesnt really matter. You just wont have access to certain zones or legendaries. The most important thing is probably your trainer picture. There are a lot of situations that wont happen again like taking pics with a certain character in a certain location.
50 shinies in or around 8 that aren't Gible.
>>58602328praying you crash out and join #TWENTYGANG sooner rather than 100 drillbur from now
>>58602328It took me four days before I got one myself anon, good luck.
>>58602328at least you can't fail shinies in this game...
>>58602444You can
>>58602487no one cares about pidgeys and fletchlings tho
>>58602491catch rate on some mons sucks ass so if you don't save beforehand you might lose it
>>58602512yeah but that's just people being retardedbut you can try many times to catch it if you savebut you can't do that in platinum... my giratina...
>24 hours afk hunting without a single fennekin or eevee>3 days since the last time I saw a gastlyhuh
>>58602444I failed catching a shiny Onix because the rest of the zone ganged up on me while I was throwing the ballI neglected to save beforehand I already had a shimmering alpha I caught 30 minutes before so I wasn't too upset
>Eternal female Fenniken hunt>Female Chespin and Froakie instantly when I wanted malesIt always knows
Anyone here has a friend ball? I need it to catch a shiny alpha kakuna, just tell me what you want for it, i have every other ball
>>58602644I can just give you one, I have an extra. Use this post number
>>58602158>Why do you guys recommend finishing the game before doing this?Because you need to do a certain amount of Infinite Royale to "finish" the postgame, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to grind battles out before then unless you just really want the charm ASAP.
>>58599273>Tfw the only shinies I got from Zone 20 is 2 Garbordors
I GOT A SHINY GARBODOR LET'S GOOOO I was so worried this thing would be difficult to hunt!! It's my favorite Poison type and I'm so excited
>>58602665Thank you so much anon
>>58602690No problem anon, thanks for the fox. I can use him to cope until I get a female one.
manthe tiny hunt is brutal
How do the ball animations affect your Balltism?https://youtu.be/noiU3TpEWJc
>>58602756>have found three shiny mawiles before finding an xsgoddamn
>>58602778I never thought about having garde in a moon ball. It really fits.>dream, safari, beastUh.
>>58602756>xsTell us the method>>58602778I'm glad I did Tyranitar in Level and Excadrill in Fast
>>58602847That other anon was looking for a mawile, and I have been as well. I'm just walking back and forth on the roof on area nine. I've only found smalls, and they're really close to the medium size.
>>58602815>dream, safari, beastDon't worry about it.Too bad the guy forget to check Strange and Cherish Balls though.
>>58602865So you're just catching ones that 'look small' and checking size, right? At least there's a few at a time. Good luck, anon!>captcha: pnsr8
>finally got the female FennekinMight go for an alpha froakie, chikorita, bulbasaur and maybe tepig, but those are just extra vanity catches.
>>58602778Shiny Greninja emerging from the shadows of the Dusk Ball just felt right
>>58602939Congrats, anon. I keep hunting Fennekins but it's kinda pointless right when I want to catch a female in a dream ball.
>>58602957Good luck, this will never be my main Fennekin so I was happy enough with it in a Dive.
>take my shiny garbodor for a walk>Lumiose police thank me for improving the smell
The green alpha gang
>>58603065*greelpha
>>58603168greshalpha*
>>58602963Same. My main is from the side quest and didnt even have to reset for a female one. Or maybe theyre all female.
>>58601470That's every Pokemon game doebeit
>>58603065Fennekin bench recognized
>>58603428Yup and i just got her a few minutes ago, she couldn’t resist the green alphas, the first 2 were male i’ll kee her as braixen and evolve the first male i got to delphox i had another male but i gave that one to anon
Also got a SquirtleI kept fast traveling and the Chomp kept spawning in the same place. Until it sparkled I just thought it was normal. This is another one crossed off the list.
My Holy Grail
Giratina didn't come back today...
>>58603645why did you quick attack?
>>58603645better question is how did you kill a ghost type with a normal type attack with a pokemon that doesn't have scrappy?
>>58603702>>58603705I used odor sleuth with my smeargle so I could use false swipe on giratinamaybe I thought odor sleuth was not longer active because giratina killed smeargle, maybe all the blood of my dick went to my head and I went full retard, I don't know what happened to me to make that decision...
>>58603645>>58603721we believe in you anon. You may have hurt their feelings, but if you persist they will see that you mean well.
>>58603744thanks, anon... even if it takes me years, I'm gonna get that Giratina backbut I hope it happens within the month tho...
Still can't get a Shiny Alpha female Ralts or Gard. I've gotten a few regular ones but no luck with an Alpha Female one
Just setup the Charmander encounter factory. Going after an alpha because I'm stupid.My tiny shiny just isn't enough.
>>58603628Goddamn that's fucking lucky. Mega congrats anon.
>had some shinies roaming>come back after a few hours of afking>theyre gone>do a head count of all the shinies in the area>only 9Hmm.
>>58603890Thanks, I actually had it for a while but never actually looked at the size till someone mentioned sizes in this thread.
I don’t think any of you could actually answer this, but did they remove the extreme ends of size variation or just widen the middle and rename the extremes? In SV, XXXS and XXXL are the minimum and full values, respectively. I know Go goes to XXS and XXL. Seems like ZA only has XL and XS.
>>58604035I believe it was the same in SV.
>>58604042You’re just flat out wrong. The size rater rates from triple x small to triple x large.
>>58604056Widened the middle and renamed it. They really should add size charms to the game.https://serebii.net/legendsz-a/pokemonsize.shtmlhttps://serebii.net/scarletviolet/size.shtml
>started benching zone 20 since Nov. 1>only able to hunt for 6 hours per day due to work and alone at homeThis are my hauls from 10 days of afk benching. Should I leave for a new zone or keep farming alpha shinies in zone 20? Even had to trade some dragalges to an anon here because they keep appearing
There is no god.
>>58604098Are you mostly getting Alpha's or just regular Shiny spawns?
>>58604140Mostly regular shinies. Got a lot of dragalges and gardevoirs because of it even if I do the multiple alpha spawns
>>58604148Yeah, I got two Gards, and a Rose trying it but no Alpha's yet.
Anyone know of a good spot to shiny hunt Dedenne in ZA? Any static spots?i'm currently on the building behind the quasartico building, near the Ralts mini forest and i'm benching for a Dedenne but they a random spawn with Fletchling and maybe abra?
No Gible today either.Onward to tomorrow. Good luck on your hunts.
>>58604304I got 3 in 20 :I
I sure hope we get Safari balls next season
>>58604304The Ralts bench. I've gotten a couple there including a Shiny Alpha.
>>58604400yea, I tried there for a while and got a shiny ralts and weedle. I guess I'll just go back there as its the best.
>>58604447It's random because sometimes it's a Fletching but it seems the most reliable because there's a bench right there next to it and the Abra.
>>58603628show me da small chompy
I HAVE FOUNDTHE XS MAWILEMY GODit's not shiny or anything, but it took longer to find then fucking shinies
i just want an alpha gible...
gonna be attempting a shiny cutiefly hunt as soon as I beat USi know i need a harvest mon like exeggutor holding a leppa, but is there anything else?
>>58604731how noticable is it? i'm looking for one tooafter finding all female kalos starters, i want to find pocket size mon now.
>>58604768About this much.>caught it in the wrong ballshit.
Anyone got a comparison between Mega Gren v. Shiny Mega Gren.
>>58603796I have an Alpha Shiny Female rn, but she's Jolly. I'm intending on leaving my Switch on in a bit while I just shit post and sleep to see if I can get lucky and get another Modest or Timid one.
>>58604953You do know you can use nature mints to fix bad natures? Or do you want to catch shinies with specific natures?
>>58604953I'm so glad I don't have your 'tism, I actually like it if the mon's nature isn't optimal since it adds more to their personality and you can mint them anyways.>Jolly Goodra that likes to fight>Sassy Scolipede that's impetous and silly>Gentle Furfrou that's alert to sounds>Lonely Gardevoir but she's highly curiousThat autist /vp/ made fun of that wanted a proud of his power Lucario was finally validated.
>>58604975I want to catch shinies with specific natures. It's my OCD.
>>58604988I did think about him when I remembered Mints were a thing.
>doing run resets to try and spawn another xs smolwile>drop down to check on the mawile near the exit gate since I'm never down there>another shinyhuhI'm looking for a non alpha xl and large too
>>58605036>non alpha xlI think the one from side mission 77 is always XL
>>58605110released it whoops
>>58605115You fool
>shiny helioptile in the middle>reset>shiny furfrou immediately afterwow
>>58601318DOES this one do the more complicated set ups? Also, whats the name? Id like to order it ASAP.
Trying to find a shiny Espurr to commemorate my cat that passed away suddenly. But having no luck so far, there’s not a lot of spawns of them in ZA as far as I could find.
Give me a new zone to hunt. I have to wait until the dlc so I can hunt my fave pokemon mimikyu.
>>5860547317, keep running it until you get a shiny alpha female pyroar or shiny chespin.
>>58605477I already have a female alpha pyroar though. Is shiny chespin difficult to hunt? It can’t be more difficult than skarmory right?
>>58605480Aaah, I did not know you had already tortured yourself in 17 already. I unno, go for shinies of all the non-wild zone fixed alphas in the city? Chespin could be a damn sight easier, it's a 50% spawn in the burrows at the fly entrance and you can check all three then dip out the gate again to fly reset instead of getting graped by a pride of lions spamming shit at you.
>want a shiny alpha male Clefable >no benches close to where the static alpha spawns at area 19>Gonna have to walk back and forth over and over again
Do the prescence of other pokemon being alpha, reduce the chance of others being alpha?I've been shiny alpha hunting a scoliopede/whirlipede in zone 15 for a week now, and I have 4 alpha shiny beedrill, and near 20 non alpha whirlipede/scoliopede.Is the game proccing the beedrill alpha first, somehow inhibiting the capacity for an alpha pede to pop?
>Finally, after weeks, find a shiny pansage>But its not alpha...we go again
>>58605523Couldn't just fast travel and run along the bottom part of the zone? It pretty much hits the center and then some.
>>58605528No, it is all up to luck>>58605531Funny, I got the an alpha shiny Scoli and simi while benching zone 20
What if Eviolite worked on humans, would that be fucked up or what?
>>58604953I don't really care about the base nature because I can fix it with a Mint. I just want one. Bonus if I can put her in a Love Ball but I've been doing this a week straight now.
Multiple info dumps talk about a place in memory where 10 shiny are "saved" in respawn tables. Does the current version of pkhex allow you to look at this table anywhere?
>>58605610>Does the current version of pkhex allow you to look at this table anywhere?I remember an anon here saying that you can
>>58605457have you been doing the zone 3 door? I've got a few that way, as well as the other things that spawn around there. sorry about your cat, lost mine too and it's tough.
I got some more love balls from ranked, FUCK XERNIAS, time to hunt a froslass. Taking a break from the mawile hunt. I'd like a shiny mawile that isn't medium size. I have extra if someone wants one, though. One's a female in a love ball. Or two. Another is a male in a sports ball.
>>58604592
>>58606052Heavy slam Metagross.
Is there a better ball for Charizard than a Luxury ball?
Is charizard any good in ranked? Just got a shiny 'Mander and may as well use the bugger if so.
Does being alpha effect heavy slam?
>>58606204Zard X is the primo physical fire attacker right now.
Pokemon Go just announced shiny Keldeo (only way to get your OT on it)
Does anyone have that jap ranking list for mons that was posted a few days ago? It had the pokemon and the items they used and it was a tier list. I was fascinated by how Wide Lens Camerupt was sorta high on the list.
>>58606180metagross is the direct counter but heavy slam won't actually kill after a geomancy boostannoyingly enough metagross has no stat raising moves for some reason either
>>58606387Geomancy doesn't raise physical defense.What you're experiencing is EV investment into Xerneas regular defense.
>>58606387Also powerup punch + Life Orb.
>>58606430>>58606436I'll try that then since most people using xern are predictable and it's only really annoying because they'll just boost then sit on the sidelines to get kills they don't deserve
70 shiny Pokemon that aren't Gible.
>>58605457I was obsessed with the idea of a shiny alpha buuuut actually I think a smol cat might be cuter.I have been hunting area 20 specifically for an Alpha Gardevoir and Gallade… I think I have about 45/60 out of the potential alpha spawns possible. The last 15 or so are all shit I don’t want except those two . Just released about 100 shinies because they’re all trash.
>>58605757Yeah the staircase thing, I’ve been at it a few days now but no luck so far. I’ll persevere!!Thanks for the kindness anon, sending you hugs too.
>>58606494Yeah I feel you on the alpha! My cat was a big boy so it would be fitting too. But I’m honestly fine with any Espurr that pops up.
Have a shiny Pidgey or Fletchling on me, as a treat ;)
>>58606584I'm more annoyed at all these weedles in near 18.
>>58606584I'm 100% certain they have the highest shiny rate.
>random switch updateGotta wait to trade away my shitty shinies and shiny Ralts after the new HATS stuff drops.
>>58606467GF really needs to just ban legendaries across the board. Yeah, some are utter dogshit, but the fact that most AREN'T is a problem.Was having fun cheesing with Pikachu.
>>58607200They’re adding hats!??
>>58607228I have a hacked Switch.
>>58607205Nah, especially in the main series games.The double restricted formats are pretty enjoyable. Reg I > Reg HIt wasn't even close.
>>58605531I’ve done it. My team is complete.Is there any move/stat benefit in ZA from withholding stone evolution? I know in older games if you evolve to simulate too early, he learns no more moves. Does that not matter in this game? Should I just immediately evolve when I get the chance?
>>58607298I looked at the movesets on bulbapedia and they're pretty much the same.
>>58607298Nope. Plus you can buy Evolite from the Racine Construction Garage.
First time doing actual shiny hunting in this game and it thankfully didn't take too long, maybe an hourPerfect IV in HP, caught in a Luxury Ball, and strangely the only shiny that showed up using the teleporter methodI'll likely evolve it into a Metagross
>>58607391>hour for beldumwell damn
Anyones shiny hunting taking a while now? I've been resting with bench and fly and haven't even gotten trash spawns.
>>58607395>he doesn't knowbro, the new update removed shiny pokemon from the game...
>>58607236Reg J is a lot of fun desu but the meta is a bit too centralized
>>58607402I’M FINALLY FREE
>>58607394And the kicker? I wasn't even AFK, did it all manually
NEW THREAD WHERE
>>58604400>>58604482>>58604331Here come the boyyyyyyThanks fellas
>>58607827Thanks, enjoy your chonky fucker. How were you for others while doing it?
>>58607860A weedle, and a Ralts and I think that was it. I didn't spend more than 4 hours on it.
Sharing some random bullshit I assume no one else will care about: If you're doing retarded ribbon master stuff like I am, ToastyToes has a video about how to get all the switch ribbons. It's a helpful resource.
>>58607883Not too bad then. Sometimes the Florette across the street or the Hawlucha pop.
Two shiny pidgey. Fuck you.
hellooooooo anyone know the best place to shiny hunt a noibat?
>>58608095Probably the Fennekin bench. I have a spare I can trade you if you don't feel like hunting for one.
>>58608095Probably Zone 18 bench right outside their roof. Barring that the sewers.
>over 1000 resets>2 trubbish>1 ariados>1 venipede>0 alpha whirlipede
>>58608095Take my noibats. I have too many.
>>58608262You're doing it in the wrong spot. I know where you are, at the sewer door, because I tried there for a few days. You're just shy of the resetting affecting the majority of venipede, and it's a 40/60 shot whether it touches the alpha whirlipede. Your best bet is the zone 15 bench.
>>58608286I've been using that warp, but also making sure I was able to see the whirlipede before I reset>Your best bet is the zone 15 bench.Is that better? I figured it'd be tougher since you'd have to roll shiny and alpha
