Can you bench hunt skarmory? I've heard the shiny despawns in rain, but would it if you're quick to reset/not spawn in rainy weather?
>>
>>58665897
Bench will only spawn 3 alphas at a time
>>
>>58665859
You don't know the half of it brother.
I have 8 (Eight) boxes of shinies, not one of them a starter. I am cursed to never get one, and I would trade so many of my shinies for some nice starters, but here we are.
>>
>>58665986
you just didn't try hard enough
I mean, if you benched on zone 18, you will eventually get a shiny fennekin

but the originals were non-static, full odds, mon pre-post game mon.

Wasn't looking for this but I guess there are worse Pokemon I could've got for my first shiny alpha.
>>
>>58665910
Do you mean 3 Alpha Shiny? Have 6 in the middle of Zone 20. 2 are shiny. Does that mean only 1 more can become Shiny? Was going to let it keep going until all 6 are Shiny.

>>58665986
What is the purpose of a starter in ZA? Other than for Dex entry, they are constantly recommended against for end-game and ranked.

The benches will only ever spawn the front row, so 3 alphas at a time. You can manually spawn all 6, no problem, but if you’re just benching and doing nothing else, you will only ever hit the 3 in a row closest to you.

I feel like they're ok because the process itself is pretty interesting to do and the game sees it as legit.

I have no problem with them but they aren't in the spirit of the thread imo. Do whatever you want.

I think they're cool, USUM basically gives you free eggs with the right calculator, no timing involved. A lot of people here aren't usually fans, but maybe ZA's blatant macro surge will have changed that

>>
>>58667408
I found gen 4 really basic. 5 can be tricky to get the right settings since it seems to flip flop. My only advice would be to not fall for the Blisey meme of only going after perfect stuff. Pick something easy to get to, not 100000 flips away. Gen 7 is probably the coolest, imo. 8 is a bit interesting because you can see how things in the game operate that you normally wouldn't think work that way, but too simple to be fun.
>>58667402
Honestly, eggs in Ultra don't even feel like rng. It's just a broken system and you're saving the time of hatching a ton for no reason.

Where are you searching? I kept phasing on them in Wild Zone 5 while fast travel spamming there for Shiny Froakies, there's three spawns in range there and it's super easy to do with just a standard turbo controller by having Autofire A on and pressing start after you enter Wild Zone 5. Like so.

>>58669196
Probably a controversial opinion, but I'm actually cool with shiny locks on STORY Legendaries because they're clearly there to prevent you from wasting hundreds of hours soft resetting and not progressing the game or more realistically so the Pokemon wasn't shiny in battle despite not being shiny in the preceeding cutscene. It's when its non-story legendaries that it pisses me off, like every single returning legendary in SV's DLC being shiny locked.
>>
>>58669657
They unironically just leaked it LMAO
>>
>>58670082
>t's when its non-story legendaries that it pisses me off, like every single returning legendary in SV's DLC being shiny locked.
Even funnier when they weren't locked in DA. Someone once said there was an issue with having them not look shiny until you encountered them or something and they didn't want that, but I'm gonna assume that was a fan theory (but seems legit because Sw/Sh did that for all encounters)
>>
>>58670082
>because they're clearly there to prevent you from wasting hundreds of hours soft resetting and not progressing the game
and why does GF need to care about that? it's my time, it's my game, I play it and do whatever the fuck I want
>>
>>58670119
I think that's just speculation, but probably not far off the mark. Based on how they did it in SwSh's DLC, where all 6 Regis, including the two new ones, weren't shiny locked (because they don't appear in the overworld) but Kubfu, the Galarian Birds, and Calyrex and his Horses were (because they DO appear in the overworld), they probably don't want mons to appear normal in the overworld but shiny once the battle starts. And since in their infinite stupidity the postgame SV legendary encounters spawn in the overworld and it only generates the actual Pokemon (and rolls for it to be shiny) once you interact with them, then that means they're gonna shiny lock them.

The only counter to this is that Virizion/Cobalion/Terrakion weren't shiny locked and they also appear in the overworld, so really who fucking knows.
>>
>>58670131
>I play it and do whatever the fuck I want

Incorrect. You do what Game Freak ALLOWS you to do, which is why you're complaining.
>>
>>58670159
bro, you think them locking the starters stopped me?
the first thing I did in shsw was to hunt for a shiny rookidie and then when I unlocked the day care, I got an english sobble from the GTS and started hatching eggs the old school way, no masuda method

I enjoy the busywork
>>
>>58670385
To each their own, my flavor of tedium is in soft resetting and egg hatching, catching 100's of pokemon and doing things routinely day after day is too much for me.
>>
>>58670314
Flying to 5 only gets you two of the Falinks spawns.

>>58670346
I don't think it'd be Diancie unless they're doing one for base game and one for DLC. All the previous ones aside from Meltan were shiny locked worldwide, so I think it's more likely its going to be Volcanion or Hoopa. Probably Hoopa. I swear to fucking god if they ignore all the patterns and do zeraora
>>
>>58670417
they should do jirachi or mew

I have uhhhh extra small shiny talonflame

Is it optimal

>>58670411
>doing things routinely day after day is too much for me
Focusing on this part, I dislike the Do a thing 10 days in a row part, but stuff like get 300 excellent throws or find 20 Kecleon is fun. Makes me play the game in a new way with an actual goal. Also fuck the stuff that is just a tedious time gate like having 10 best buddies or 20 ultra friends.
>>
>>58670422
They shouldn't because I already have both.
>>
>>58670338
I've never installed this game. All my non-pokemon playing friends did though.
>>
>>58670435
well, I don't
especially Jirachi. I can always get a japanese emerald and inject the event to get mew but I have no way to get the jirachi from the colloseum disc or whatever it's called
>>
>>58670422
Mew is technically not shiny locked because Japanese Old Sea Map can be shiny, and Jirachi has had shiny distributions in the past.

>>58670433
Yeah that's cool and all but I'm racist against Pokemon with the GO regulation mark. They're not even real Pokemon.
>>
>>58670440
There was a XY event for Jirachi in Japan so it should be easier to get this one.
>>
>>58670501
yes, everything is given in japan while the west gets cucked
I pretty much got all the XY events I could and I still haven't recieved them from the lady in the pokemon center until this day. Same for ORAS, SM and USUM events
>>
1.03 out, seems overloading still works. Do your own research before you update.
>>
I just finished the game with 92 hours played. I wanted to take my sweet time since I've been waiting for Pokémon Z since the release of XY. I remember being in the midnight release haha.

I basically did a PoC without intending to do it; I just couldn't get the Alpha Chespin line, the Alpha fossils and the exclusives to zone 20, but I did get every screw and get to A rank in both seasons. I mainly finished it today because of the release of Zygarde in ranked battles.

I finished with 540-ish battles, level 48 in the Mable's research and 215 Pokémon catched. It was fun; I avoided using online guides and Serebii. For online, I even avoided Smogon and just went with Glaceon and freeze dry strat, Mega Gyarados and Soft Sand Garchomp: i got into the meta without knowing haha

However, since the game leaked, I knew that I was going to hunt the Shiny Alpha Fossils eventually, and I'm making arrangements for that: would buying 960 fossils and a turbo controller work fine for hunting? Or would you guys go with macro stuff? I've used automation programs in gen 8 and 9, so that wouldn't be an issue

If the info that twitter threw at me randomly, it is a 1/100 for the fossils and a regular shiny chance, not affected by the charm, right? So about 1/400k, right? Do you guys have any info regarding resets per hour?

I'm kinda of an OCD maniac and I was already 80% into a shiny living home dex and every full generation living dex, so a shiny alpha living dex fits right into the OCD and my autism

Thanks in advance =D
>>
>>58670707
I suppose if you're going to empty all Pokemon in your boxes you could fill absolutely everything and leave it running. It's about 6-7 minutes per box so all boxes would take around 4 hours. Hypothetically speaking of course, someone fact check me on that.
God speed though you crazy madman.
>>
>>58670714
Thanks for the good luck! =D

Yes, I intended to backup every box with Pkhex and go into resetting with every box space available, however, I intend to purchase every fossil with hard-earned money

I guess i'm a bit insane; I even started learning french when the first trailer for legends za released: if the hunt gets boring after a while, maybe I'll start a new file in french.

Maybe I should just get a job instead, or be an alcoholic; just anything would be healthier than the shit i'm doing with shinies and dexes hahaha

>Maybe I should just get a job instead, or be an alcoholic; just anything would be healthier than the shit i'm doing with shinies and dexes hahaha
not the anon above but I've seen some really crazy and even more difficult hunts than the one you're trying to do from people that have a job and a life so I would say you're not that far gone
if you enjoy hunting shinies and have a good time, who cares? people waste time doing useless thing all the time anyway

do in front of the hotel z the moment you get out, send out the pokemon in the exact position you are in(do not move), make sure you use the details of the background to make sure each pic is almost exact.

Are there size variances between categories in this game? i.e. Will the game show different-sized M-categorized Pokémon?
I have been trying to figure this out for PLA and SV as well, noone seems to have knowledge or evidence
>>
When you guys say AFK hunting do you mean just standing somewhere within the zone and leaving the console on for a couple of hours or do you mean something else? because I did that last night standing on the bridge where you can see Buneary trio and came back this morning to see 2 alphas there

whatever you want the most

Zone 20 static alpha hunting is fun cause you're basically double gambling since the pool is like 60+ mons
>>
>>58672458
I was thinking of shiny larvitar since I like the whole line's shiny design honestly.

I also want to build a new team that isn't mons I used in base game for the DLC. So far I've got a shiny roserade and a shiny Sharpedo I happened across during the end-game stuff so they'll each take a slot I think.

Would it be dumb to ask for pogo stamped shiny legendaries for a pogo stamped XL shiny female torchic? I’m new to pogo stamp trading stuff and just want a legitimate shiny shaymin
>>
>>58674837
Well Shaymin is a mythical with the only way to get it in Go to be having bought it like a year and a half ago, so I don't think anyone would trade theirs. You could probably find someone who would sell one on Ebay but lol
Might as well get your own in Platinum, that's what I did.

>>58674914
While I can't really speak on the trading value of things, Groudon is available in a ton of games with the ability to be shiny and has regular raids in Go. Try to think of something as rare as Shaymin (and probably having the mark too).
>>
>>58674922
Oh I mean for the torchic lol
>>
>>58674926
oh, then i guess the torchic would be more valuable depending on the legendary.
>>
>>58674946
wait, actually, do you mean ZA XL or normal XL? because those are very different. normal XL isn't that rare but ZA XL is actually XXL and pretty rare
>>
>>58674955
It’s a shiny, female, XL torchic I caught in GO. I want to know what it would be worth trading for.
>>
>>58674966
XL in Go just means big, so its just a kinda large female starter shiny. Still cool, and depending which legendary you want, it's probably a fair trade.

I'm hunting more female Fennekins and maybe a DLC pokemon. What I'm really hoping for is that they add these Sports and Dream and Safari balls to the ranked pool or the DLC shop so they aren't so rare. Grinding the Apriballs before season 2 was absolutely hopeless.

>>58677260
>I'm hunting more female Fennekins
Good luck with that. I was benching for like 8 hours today, and about the same time yesterday and all I got was a male one in the first hour.
Same about the season pokeballs. But knowing game freak it's more likely that they will circle between them, which I hope they don't do.
Also enjoy the Ralts!
