Meh, she's not Primarina.
>>58752769who
With ZA making shinies trivial to catch is there any real reason to keep players from customizing their pokemon?A lot of my favorite mons have ass shinies and being able to dye them or dress/accessorize them would go a long way
I fell asleep lol anyone want to tradeback shinies for evo I need to get my swirlix
Having doubts on whether the Latios is spawning once I go up the elevator or if it already spawned when I was at the bottom of it.
>>58752922>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/2001154336936566959
>>58753005I thought you could just spam the teleport on Terrakion and that would be enough to reset it.
>>58753011I think it would be the same case with Latios.Teleport in is enough for spawn (~50 range)Teleport out is not enough for despawan (7,80 range)
>>58753017the opposite but yeah
>>58752898>is there any real reason to keep players from customizing their pokemon?not further shittying up the pokemon brand.
>>58752898Too much work and they wouldnt be able to jam all the files into the game because they cant optimize so if you have a scarf option for pokemon that's like 1000 scarves that are now created for every pokemon and those are all taking up memory in the game. So every option like that would just kill the game they couldn't handle it. Its also most likely why there is only one shiny form instead of having different ones. I always thought they should have a palette for every color combo in the original red that you could do on start up with the d pad cause the black and blue gold option would look awesome on many mons
>>58753037bro your....I forget the name of the moba, but the moba does it.
Remember when Game Freak tried to add a second, much rarer type of shiny in Sword and Shield but fucked up the code and accidentally made it more common than regular shinies so they dropped the entire concept after that? Do you think this would still be a thing today if they had actually implemented it correctly? Also, did you like the idea of having two different shiny effects?
>>58753306I still think we should have more shiny variants, like 3There's so many Pokemon who's shiny is merely a result of technologic limitations, and many suffer a lame shiny because of this>so many pink water types...They could bring back purple Charizard for shilling purposes, they could make a green Greninja, and even have a good shiny for Garchomp and the like.
>>58753306It's ultimately of little worth to me, given I'm not the type of autist desperately trying to get a shiny economy legitimised, but I did take a sense of pride breeding a square effect shiny, as I knew they'd managed to code that one correctly.
>Three days later and still no alpha espurr Kill me
>>58753347Why would you want an alpha?
>>58753352Big shiny cat
Shiny Terrakion acquired.
>Gimmighoul is mono ghostOh, I have gravely miscalculated
>>58753380I hope you saved
>>58753335I thing suggesting increasing the number of colour schemes smacks of spergs trying to make a rarity tier because "shones am too comun". You're also ignoring modern shiny consideration, Greninja's shiny is black, because it's a fucking ninja frog, dressed (coloured) like a ninja for its mission. Turning it green just because wouldn't work with the design, save turn it into a green ranger (or whatever the fuck the super sentai character that became Green Ranger in the first series of Power Rangers (stopped watching after that, grew older and out the age bracket for it). I'll admit, I think purple 'Zard is cool, but at the same point I know Gen 2 promo art for shiny pokémon depicted 'Zard as black, so purple 'Zard was a GBC screen concession. They present these things deliberately, that extends to choosing one colour scheme for the rare version. They could do a whole host of shit more to better reflect animal genetics in the real world (copying cat coat genetics with catmon breeding, meowth with a meowstic-hue to its tan fur, skitty with a glameow coat, etc etc). They don't because it's easier to market one design as "the" design, than have a half-dozen or more schemes, which people invariably ignore the lesser or perceived worst of the set leading to them producing stuff to sit in storage costing money.
>>58753386Greninja could easily get its smash variants as other shinies like the rest of smash pokemon
>>58753384Of course, but now I have a useless steel three three and need to make a ghost one lmao
>>58753505Just use the steel 3 for cobalion
>>58753491No, because the smash audience is not the pokémon audience, though there is people who'll play both. But unless they're part of Pokémon's core demo range, they're not truly relevant either, just like oldfags in Pokémon fully get ignored as a matter of course. And Smash is its own thing, unrelated and non-canonical to the Pokémon universe. And as I said, increasing the number of palettes arbitrarily will only lead to the lesser ones eating up costs for them as they must produce them as canonical to the series, but realistically the OG forms and maybe the best of the new ones will be consdiered "worthwhile" with all the rest ignored. Easier to have one and one alt. It isn't fortnite and they don't need to be desperate with how they get people to spend money on their shit. they do it anyway from it doing what t does anyway.
I got the smallest Cock, but it's still pretty big.
>>58753564that's huge...
>>58753505That didn’t take too long
>>58753564Trainer, I’m BKC
>>58753573Grats, how's the grind, got all your coins?
>>58753588I've maxed coins twice now, since I already did the quest to give the guy one. Debating if I want to hunt a Lati, but I've done everything else I want in this. Back to the ribbon grind, it seems.
>>58753573Reminder that you don't need to go much above 420 to get 3 and 2 powers
All my shiny legendaries heretofore have gone in premier balls. Despite having an abundance of perfectly good, appropriate apriballs, they'll still be going in premiers because I want a matching collection and I'm stupid.
>>58753675
>>58753675That good to know. But how else would you build a donut with calories to stay long enough to farm?
>>58753688You don't but some hunts don't need it.

Do you think they'll do a shiny yveltal xerneas event? I released my xerneas on accident lol
>>58753732they already did that years ago
>>58753728At least it isn't ugly ass cobalion
>>58753754>at least it isn't one of the things you actually wantednigga you fuckin stupid
>>58753732Back to the mines with you
>>58753732if we were to get any shiny legendary event it'd probably be for Zygarde or Hoopa.

>>58753793That's red unless you're gay and it's some prancey color like shooting star of the ruby grape depths.
>>58753823there's nothing red about shiny virizionstop being retarded
So how does the post game of the dlc work? I beat Darkrai and I know Alolan Raichu can be encountered, but where does it spawn and can I even do it before working through mega fug?
>>58753826
>>58753826>>58753823https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCwYfSeqAw8
>>58753843It's just in electric holes
>>58753855Is it the 5* ones or have I just been unlucky?
>>58753858It shows up in the same spawner as regular Raichu, so if you haven't been going to those then you've been skipping it.
>>58753858I think it's 4, definitely not 5.
12 hours into my Cobalion hunt and I've phased on Riolu twice, this sucks man
>>58753851Maybe I should finally watch all of these but I never played halo and also we're 20 years removed from when these first released.
>>58753864Ah, I've only seen one Raichu so far and I was working on the story so I ignored it. Didn't exactly have good access to sparkling power at the time anyways.>>58753865Cool. Just need to be patient then.
>>58753871They’re completely unrelated to halo beyond using the assets, but only like the first 2 or so seasons are worth having on in the background. Once they started to try adding an over arching story it got awful
>>58753846>what is lightning
>>58753872He’s wrong. It only shows up in one specific hyperspace distortion. Every other Raichu grouping won’t spawn it. https://www.serebii.net/legendsz-a/hyperspacewildzone/electric.shtml#4star
Currently around rank Y finishing up the first 3 side missions and exploring much as I can before advancing. My ZA is still pre-patched overload version before DLC.So guess until I bother buying the DLC after finishing the main story, I can still use overload save. But the shiny rates in DLC is better, just need to rush the timer?
>>58753769Faggot.
>>58754030DLC rates are million times better than overload.
>>58754053Shhh, let the glitcher pretend he's playing optimally.
>>58754030If you're getting the DLC, it's significantly better than what you got with overload.Base game shiny odds max at 1/1k if you have the charm.In the DLC you can push it to 1/500, plus the hyperspace areas have a much higher amount of Pokemon spawning at once to futher increase the odds. There's also a way of guaranteeing spawning a shiny if you make a donut with the maximum sparkling power.
Still no alpha espurr....

Was the shiny always this sickly green color
>>58754216Yep. They fumbled M Latias so fucking hard, it's not even funny.
>>58754216Specifically to spite you and you alone
Did they nerf alpha sizes in this game compared to PLA? The alphas seem so tiny, assuming the pc is like 5 feet tall
>>58754234They didn't, you're just 6-foot-7 (Mewtwo's average/"M" height, as listed in the dex)
>>58754053>>58754064Thanks. Then I'll just focus on progression and do shiny hunts post game.
seems like it's way easier to get donuts for small pokemons than alpha ones
>the rare shit is le rareok, and?
>>58752747>Last 4 Special Scans were Gimmighoul, two Battle Zones, and a Fire Starter HyperspaceFucking forget shiny hunting Rotom I probably won't even be able to fucking catch it for my dex any time soon to say nothing of the four whole Legends I still need to scan. This blows chunks, they should've given probability priority to mons not registered as caught when Special Scanning
>>58754345I'd settle for Battle Zones not being possible until after getting all of the legendaries. The fucking Battle Zones are the worst ones, even if they do typically give ~20k worth of points if you do them. I just don't want to fucking do them when I've gotten at least 10 of the motherfuckers already. Meanwhile I still need to get both Rotom and Gimmighoul, along with the Baxcalibur zone that also has Hisuian Avalugg, 4 of the shiny huntable Legendaries AND Keldeo.
>>58754250Why is Gamefreak so afraid to give us gigantic pokemon?
>>58754364it would fuck up a lot of things, I supposejapanese spaghetti code after all
>>58754364you know why stop playing dumb
>>58754376I genuinely don’t, PLA had accurate sizes. Alphas will be gone in gen 10 for no reason.
>impulse-caught a shalpha lucario (used for base-mega) in a premier ball>caught a second shalpha lucario (for z-mega), this time in a quick ball, for z-mega>shiny base-mega's palette is quick-coded, shiny z-mega's turned out to be somewhat premier-alignedShould I swap stones & setups, just to make the ball-to-shiny-mega aesthetics match? Doing so would be piss easyOr should I just stop giving a damnI'm indecisive as hell, what would y'all do
I finally got two shiny alpha female Fennekins in one donut but I want at least thee and ideally four. Should I keep resetting or just cut it here and farm another donut some other time? I'm only at 1000 calories left in the zone.
What's the longest hunt in this board's history
>>58754416>1000I've hunted with only 200 calories leftthat's plenty to get at least one more
>>58754419I'm still hunting roaming entei/raikou on my heart gold since 2018
>>58754424I'm doing fly resets and now it's at 850. I don't think another one will be appearing. And I'm pretty sure the other spawns should've activated by now but they haven't come back.
>>58754415Just swap setupsEV reset is 5 mega shards eachMint is 20k eachEV training takes 5 minutes
>>58754437>I'm doing fly resetsah, then you're fucked
>>58754447Explain further. I thought fly resets were the most optimal way.
>>58754453they are but you're limited by the autosave tooif you were doing teleporter method or walking away, 1000 calories left would be plenty to get one more shiny
>>58754461It doesn't sound optimal then. Which map should I hunt for instead? This the map I'm on at the moment. The empty space on the left was supposed to be another spawn area but it still hasn't come back after 1300 calories.
>>58754474I mean right.
>>58754474not everything should be optimal imo but that's just methe other method you could do in a small zone like that is the kill and wait for respawn method but you need to have a lot of time for thatmaybe it's better for you to just find another zone with fennekin in it
>>58754416Just take what you have.
>>58754474Teleporter spamming is most optimal since you can just save before you start and reset if you don't get anything, but it's super rng dependant due to teleporter spawns and pokemon spawns needing to line up perfectlyFast travel spamming is more consistent but you can only reset via backup save, and you still need the spawn to be in range of the portal
>>58754345>>58754353You guys can take my luck. Already got the rotom zone and hitsui avalugg zone dozens of times over along with the fucking eevee rape cave. Trying for hitsui goodra but it only showed up once and never again
>>58754481>>58754482>>58754520I'll keep but what's the best map for teleport spamming?
>>58754577medium and large
>found zone I'm looking for>now locked in hell trying to get sparkling power 3 and at least tiny 2
>he fell for the austin john berry management memehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOY5FLolJlU
>>58754688>25turn it into an infograph.
>>587546888 kasibs when farming items, 8 tangas when going for shinys.No need to think about it any harder.
>>58754784sounds like cheating to me
>>58754784Is this a ds dns or something
Haven't tried shiny hunting in the DLC so far. Assuming I'm looking for a shiny alpha which already has a static spawn in the base game, is the new donut method more effective than resetting that spawn?
>>58754979There are more upsides than downsides to the dlc hunting but yes.
>>58754979Yes, easiest way to get XS and XL shinies as well
>>58754979Yes.With a donut with sparking 3 you can force a spawn to be shiny, and if you also have alpha 3, it then gives each spawn a 51% to be alpha.
>>58754989Mon petit
>>58754216I want to heem the retard obsessed with shit green on the team
>>58754989Imagine.
>>58754986>>58754989>>58754991Thanks!
>>58754230It's green because it mixes the latios and latias shiny colors together, just like the regular mega mixes their regular colors together.
>>58755022>its a reference
Lv2 sparkalpha is not cutting it. I should've reset for at least 1 at Lv3.
Facing virizion's hole, I've saved at the bottom-right corner of the fountain roof. Is that far enough away from the legendary?
>Zero shalpha espurr to be found Kill me already
>>58755100see this tweet for the best way to reset the legendarieshttps://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/2001154336936566959
>>58755105Would have taken you much less time to get a sparking/alpha 3 donut tbqh
>when loading a back up, the focus mons shuffle>sometimes my target isn't even on thereIs this just a thing I need to deal with? I already feel like I need to continue rolling for a new zone, because I'm annoyed at what is guaranteed shiny in it, but my target has only spawned in a decent location once.
>>58755166Yes. It’s works well when the specific mon your looking for spawns near the entrance
If you have a den with starters, can they spawn near the exit portal? Got a 2 star den with torchic, houndour, and numel, and so far I haven't gotten anything besides the latter two over torchic
>>58755218They can but it also depends on the map and where the game puts the portal.
Is it just the sword trio and the latis that can be hunted? I could've sworn there was a 6th
Where is my mudkip rift
>>58755286i eated it
>>58755270The 6th shiny hunt is the friends you made along the way
I swear I've gottten Sparking 3 of every single type except Water or Bug.Let me get my Golisopod you fuck.
>>58755509I mean in my experience they spawn close enough to the teleporter and I already have the shiny charm so I got one pretty quickly
>>58755509Was hunting those just earlier (lost the small one, it ran away amidst the catching)
>>58755509You really dont need Sparkling for 1 or 2 stars HS since pkm are always so close to entrance and a 1 star donut can give you 8 minute to fly reset.
>>58755569giwtwm
>>58752747We should do what reddit doesn't have the balls to do and ban RNGd shinies. There is nothing impressive about them
>>58755582ain't nobody RNGing shit 8 days after the DLC released
I’m doing the side quest where you’re running a kiosk and the shiny noise went off during a cutscene
>>58755509Well I finally got it, kind of.Don't think it's worth using here though.
>>58755586Rng was figured out in sash in less than a week and that was back when the datamining scene was way smaller. If you think plza doesn't habe rng manias because its been 8 days youre either underage or have a mental disability
>>58755629Well, it wasn't RNG. Cope and seethe.
In pla some alphas weren't the max size for the pokemon like with Onix. Is that still the case in za?
I've been using 4 Tanga and 4 Habans since it gives more calories. Is there any reason I need to do 8 Tangas?
>>58755720Way higher chance of getting lv3.
>>58755720>>58754688
got my shiny plane wife
>>58755997really cute bro

>>58756093Couple hours, its my day off so I took some naps, but the dragon 3 definitely helped out.
Booyah baby bow down
>frigibax scanFinally
Catching alpha Arctibax in a beast ball should be possible right
>>58756733Yes, it's probably about an 8% catch rate
>>58756373The sass on Ghouldengo though. He knows he’s one of the most OP Pokemon of all time and is loving every second of it.

What is the definitive meta for donut making?
>>587574298 kasib berries for item farming8 tanga berries for shinies
>>58757429Always load your backup if you don't get a good donut for your hunt. It's D-Pad Up + X + B on the title screen.
it's been almost 2 hours, this Shalpha polygon refuses to stay in this beast ball
Trying to find a good alolan raichu zone is suffering.
>>58757287I’ve got Keldeo, Zeraora, a few evos, and like 3 megas stones left then I’m donezo
>>58757300Fossils are easyJust mash A while watching a movie, reading, or literally anything else you can do 1 handed
>>58757544Kill everything next to itKnock out the monSave immediately, while it's doing the knocked out animationThrow ballIf it fails, reset until it doesn't
you gotta go balls out, anons. you only get one shot at catching a truly great shiny. you need to have the perfect ball ready when that moment comes. no regrets
Having mons required for dex completion locked behind RNG scans is the most asinine thing they've ever done. I can kind of forgive them for Gimmighoul because you only NEED it if you want to shiny hunt or are going for a living dex thanks to the quest, but the fact that there are a bunch of scans that are BATTLE ZONES and also some that are made up of POKEMON THAT ARE AVAILABLE OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIAL SCANS is insane when the game doesn't guarantee you one of the Legendary/Mythical Special Scans at any point.I just wanted to complete my fucking Pokedex before getting seriously into shiny hunting but I still don't have Rotom. Fuck.
>>58757714I’ve gotten rotom like 3 times. Maybe it isn’t showing up because you aren’t doing enough special scans
>>58757775I'm doing 4-5 per day and I'm still missing 4 of the Legendaries, Gimmighoul, Hisuian Avalugg and Rotom.
Got a grass starer HS, managed to grab alpha Treecko and Bulbasaur plus a regular Chespin and another Bulbasaur.Pretty decent.
Would be cool if G-Farfetch’d wanted to show up):<
>>58758189mevermind lol complaining always works
Is the shiny you get from Level 3 Shiny power pre-determined before you enter a portal?I always get a Shiny Fletchling that's sometimes an Alpha
>>58758770it isn't, I thinkyou can re-enter the zone and I think the nearer pokemon to the portal becomes a shiny
>>58758780So I'm just having really shit luck then huh...
>>58758770it is not, no. However (this is just conjecture), it seems like the Hyperspace Pokemon are less likely to spawn near the portal than base game pokemon, meaning most of the time your guaranteed shiny is probably not going to be a Hyperspace exclusive Pokemon.
>>58758770It certainly feels like it with this Alohachu hunt I'm on. I swear to god 99% of the portals I've tried have been an Eelectrik shiny.
>>58758811have you considered using a psychic donut
>>58758819I'm aiming for XS on Alolachu, but also XS on standard Raichu too. While that would probably cut my hunt time a lot, my current only shiny donut is an all types anyways.I'm not even worried about the guaranteed shiny, it's just odd that it's almost always been the eel even though sheep also spawn in the same portals.
I want a shiny rotomotom but they only show up in special scans which is unreal annoying
>>58752747>feminine looking final evo just like primarina and meowscarada>give it a fucking beard on the megaI kinda hate it.
>>58756924He's literally gamefreaks limitless wealth personified hes super smug boy
>>58758919You do have a five star Level 3 Electric Donut ready for when it shows up, right?
>>58758770No but I think it depends on type of map you got and shiny always go to nearest spawn point.On this small park map, I keep getting shiny panpour until I use fast travel to get my mudkip.
Are we sure the lamp post method work on Virizion ? It has taken me two days with the shiny and sparking power and nothing.
>>58759065I guess you don't want it enough
Specials scans are just izar all over again?
>>58759122are what?
>>58759217Infinite za royale.
>>58759219why the fuck would you abbreviate that to izar
>>58759225How would you abbreviate it?
>>58759235I wouidn't.
>>58759235i wouldn't. and no, you get some good type/rare pokemon scans, like porygon, rotom, gimmighoul, eevees, starter only zones
>>58759235I would just type it out like a normal person.
>>58759244>>58759238>>58759237Then I'll stick to saying izar because I'm not typing that out every time. I still haven't seen a hs with alolan Raichu.
>>58759265this is the kind of retard that goes around saying shalpha
>>58759265I hope you never find one.
>>58759271Don't lump me with them. >>58759272Rude.
if you guys need beast balls, ranking up in the online is giving a lot of them
WHERE THE FUCK IS GALARIAN FARFETCH'D!??? I heard this motherfuckers spawns in 3 star fighting hyperspaces. Is it actually possible to re-roll the spawns in that portal until it shows up by resetting the game or have I just been wasting my time?
>>58759376Yeah, but beating a single collector in a 5* battle zone gives you 5 Beast/Safari/Dream/Park balls, and you can get 10 bottle caps from a single Alpha trainer battle. Just save after beating them but before getting the reward and you can basically choose what they give you.There's honestly no real reason to bother with online beyond getting the mega stones at this point.
>>58759381M8, the portals refresh every time it transitions to day/night. You've absolutely been wasting your time if you've been camping at a 3 star portal that doesn't have G Farfetch'd in it.
>>58759381The pokemon are decided when the distortion generatesYou can only reroll spawn locations
>>58759387>>58759389So the fact that the portal preview alternates between showing 3 different pokemon each time just means squat?
>>58759395It means that its showing more mons that are available in that portal, but if there's no G Farfetch'd in that specific portal then there never will be.
>>58759398FUCK GF!
>>58759405It's better this way, you just don't understand the mechanics of the portals well enough to understand that yet.
>>58759398>>58759395Wasn't there as serebii page that showed what pokemon appears in what zone and the rates?
>third time getting this special scan>haven't gotten the fire or water one>still missing half the legendaries and half the other non-legendary special scans>but of the 8 special scans I've gotten today, two were this and six were battle zonesseed explorer fucking when? this special scan shit was already old a week ago.
If I rewrite a legendary scan, will I lose it forever
>>58759437Yes. Only one at a time.
Is there a better way to break aggro from alphas than just distance? Currently shiny hunting in the bigass sewers, pokemon down there are flareon, glimmora, pupitar, blaziken/combusken, aggron, pancham, and lucario. No clue how to hunt down here besides portal spam, but all the alphas make that difficult. Using shiny all types 3, alpha level 3.
>>58759462Sewers are the worst places to farm if you're trying to deaggro by distance since there aren't many meaningful teleporters. I'd probably load a backup save and try finding a different area.
>>58759437Be the first to test it. I would guess no though.
>>58759462>Using shiny all types 3, alpha level 3.>he fell for the alpha meme
this teensy 2 donut has yielded 12 shinies and ALL of them have been M
>>58759441I mean will it reappear later if I special scan again or is it lost forever once it’s override.
>>58759483Hm. Pity. Having half the spawns be Pokémon i really want shinies of is nice, but I think you're right. I already have a shalpha torchic, but i kind of want another one to evolve because torchic is so cute. Guess I'll go back to resetting. Is there a good recipe for haul 3 and berry 3 out yet?
>>58759494>>58759437it comes back eventually
>>58759381I caught extras if you wanted a normal one.
>>58759622Kasib 8 is still the best.
>>58759425please god free me from this hell
>>58759709I'm assuming loading a backup doesn't reset what you get?
>>58759716Nope.
>>58759497nta but what's the alpha meme
>>58759748caring about alphas when they're objectively worse than a normal or even a non-alpha XL in every single way. unless you enjoy getting stuck on geometry and having a larger hitbox.
>>58759760>caring about ranked in a spin offYou also get zero ribbons. Enjoy.
>>58759888>caring about ribbons >ever
>>58759760I don't give a shit about competitive viability. I just think alpha shinies are neat. They are a tougher grind at times and they are fucking huge.
there are defiantly certain pokemon that look grotesque alpha sized.
Not having any fucking manlets in my team.
>shiny hunting in an hackable gameAt least wait for gen 10.
>>58760099They are fun to hunt but I appreciate that sv resized them to be reasonable. Hopefully that continues in gen 10.
>>58760099This is the level of intelligence the average alphahater possesses.
>>58760238Bend over alpha cuck
this espeon portal is being a cocktease
>>58760254You're the one upset over our superiority however. We seek the monsters, because they're there. When further games release, they will STILL be there, will automatically be among the prime specimens of their species in a game with a battle engine that eschews the "realtime" aspects of the engine of L: Z-A rendering the titchy (but not maximum titchy) ones inferior. It's almost as if you have no foresight, no understanding and need to seethe that others don't blindly subscribe to retarded mindsets of groups of idiots on the internet. Enjoy your ashinme sized critters, I'm perfectly happy with my canonical-sized thingys.
Is it worth shiny hunting without donut power? I really want a shiny galarian stunfisk but RNG hates me and never gives me the hyperspace I need.
>>58760346I've been hunting nearly every mon without a donut power. I don't really care. Shiny charm is busted enough and the pokemon are set up to where either you teleporting to the entrance or using one of the broken lifts will let you reset spam.
>>58760346If you don't care about size, yeah. Just get a couple of spawners near the portal and teleport for 30 minutes
>>58760362Good to know. I was going to grind for steel type donuts but I can't even get the fucking hyperspace to spawn.>>58760414I don't care about size. I thought the spawners didn't reset the spawns.
First time the game trolls me
From the HS portals to the donuts, I find it all too random for me.
>>58760346>galarian stunfiskDo you at least know which hyperspace it will spawn? It needs to be 4 stars ground with Golett line. Otherwisely it never spawn anywhere, I never got galarian stunfisk until I check Serebii's datas.And no, if map is good enough and have decent teleport distances you can spam it until you get shiny. I got shiny torchic and porygon under 30 minutes without shiny donut power.
>>58760590I’ve only gotten the hyperspace once when I wasn’t shiny hunting. Now that I’m shiny hunting I can’t get the specific rift to spawn. Yeah I checked Serebii and know it’s only the golurk rift.I’ve spent 2 hours resetting at a bench waiting for the fucking hyperspace man, shits annoying
>>58760598At the very least are you bench resetting near a mon you'd like to shine?
>>58760626Yeah I’m resetting near area 11. I’ve found a shiny magikarp behind the bench, a shiny stunfisk next to it and a spinarak.
Got a random Ttar while doing a berry-farming run.
>>58760634Noice
>>58759382I got like 17 beast balls and a bunch of others just by getting to Rank A. I think it's worth it getting to this rank at least.
I've been doing up to 5 special scans a day for over a week now and Rotom hasn't shown up a single fucking time this is complete bullshit
Finally got a shiny galarian stunfisk. About 3 or so hours for the hyper space then I reset my game repeatedly to get a shiny, took about 1 and a half hours (however long the new Dave Chappell special is)I love the little guy, he closes his eyes when standing still which is a neat touch.
I caught 2 Alpha Tyrunts, 1 alpha Aumara, but missed out on an alpha Dactyl.Decent haul, there were so many non-alphas.
>>58761088I reset that until I got the aero. The others can be found in normal outbreaks
>>58760078>They are a tougher grind at times and they are fucking huge.alpha 3 gives you a 51% chance. you might as well just be going for a specific gender.
>>58761104Oh, well next time.I'm sure I'll get a Dactyl scan before the huntable legendaries I actually want.
>>58760673And I got all of these just beating Alpha Trainers/Collectors and busting balls in 4*-5* battle zones to grind out points for more special scans.Ranked is beyond pointless now, the only rewards worth going for are the Mega Stones and the titles (if you care about that)
>>58761179I have so many bottlecaps and seeds I just started trying to go around the hologram guys
>>58761191id do that but the game keep making my 5* battle zones the fucking sewers so it's impossible to actually go around them sometimes
>>58761179For me it's more about variety than being a better way to grind. It takes like two hours max to get rank A
Fucker
Cobalion shined. Now it will take another 20 scans before I get the next huntable.
>>58759382Is a park ball another name for a sport ball or something?
why's this fella so timid
>>58761973You spooked him :(
>>58761973you woke him up from his nap...
Is it possibly to dupe alphas in hyper space like you could in regular wild zones?
>>58761973My Cobalion is modest, don't feel bad.
>>58762073He wants to be Iron Crown so bad
>>58762062They patched overloading in general, so no.>>58761899Sport Balls originate from the HGSS Bug Catching Contest, I think?
I think I got one of the best spots for teleporting. Hopefully I get some good stuff.
>>58761365>fuck herWith pleasure
>Shiny Alpha Rotom off an Teensy 2 Donutfor fucks sake I just want an XS the past 5 have been S/M
>>58760634How do you niggies farm berries with a 3-4 minutes timer?
>>58762593I honestly don't know if I'll ever bother with another XS hunt after the one I've been through even with donuts. XS isn't even that much smaller than S if you put both mons next to each other.
>>58762593I'll take it off your hands.
>>58762614sure, got lucky and got the XS in the same cycle. code will be my post
>>58762454>HerFaggot
>>58762652Thanks mate.
anyone got a simple shiny checklist with all the pokemon, their gender differences, forms and regionals? non of that other shenanigans that 'shiny hunters' track
>>58762732make your own on a spreadsheet
>>58762732What I'm doing: edit Serebii's list of pokemon that can be deposited into Home
>>58762611Not only that, how could you ever know if it's a true 0-1 instead of just <16.
Is Special Scanning supposed to be shit? Get 25K points, and HOPE you don't get a shit rift or oh well, get 25K points again!
>>58762917Yeah, got 3 battle zone as my first.If you willing to do them ,put you back about ~8 to 10k but yeah, fuckin bad.
>>58762917>>58762933Can you savescum it, like use the backup save before you scan?
>>58762954Big no, have tried several methods, even save before hitting 25k point, none works, probably determined right after last special scan.
Can marshadow be shiny?
>>58763188noonly latias, latios, cobalion, terrakion and virizion can be shinyall the others legendaries and mythicals are shiny locked
What's better, Item Power pokeballs or berries?
>>58763288Depends; are you grinding for balls, or berries?
It would've been nice if there was a gender power too.
>Maybe about 2hrs into the hunt.The fastest legendary hunt I have so far, only 5s left too.
>>58763342>meanwhile i've been at it for three days now and got nothingI'M GONNA FIND WHERE YOU LIVE, HUNT YOU DOWN, SNEAK INTO YOUR HOUSE AND CRY ON YOUR COUCH
>>58763346Git luck anon.I just set macro and ran up and down this section.>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/2001154336936566959
>>58763342On a second thought, maybe I shouldnt use Beast ball. Dream or Love ball?
If I use (for example) a ghost sparkling donut on a steel portal showing honedge, will it still have the boosted chance? Or does it only trigger if it's the specific portal type?
>>58763466it works for whatever type the pokemon is, not just the portal. You can use this to isolate some of the dual types with a lvl 3 to guarantee a shiny of what you're huntingex: using a poison lvl 3 donut in an electric zone to guarantee a shiny toxel
>>58763466It will. You can get guaranteed shinies of a certain spawn with that. Like using a level 3 shiny power ghost on that portal will always give a shiny honedge since its the only ghost, where as a shiny 3 steel would be whichever spawns in first (random).
>>58763373At this point I really wish they could give you the option to customize pokeball colors.
Nu thread time
>>58763599not my job.
>>58763611Same. This Mudkip won't catch itself
Do sparkling donuts actually help with the shiny legendaries?
>>58763631Yeah.
>>58763631No. Nothing in the game actually increases shiny rates for real. It's always 1/8192. Everything that the dataminers who looked directly at the game's code have told us is a lie.
>>58763657Based and Truthpilled
>>58763657illuminatiGOD
Got this bad boy while grinding my pokemon in an emerald nuzlocke. My special condition for my nuzlocke is shinies get a pass and can be added to the team. Never thought i'd get one and i already have a mightyena but still cool nonetheless.
>get what I want at around 2500 calories>mindless catch a shiny I didn't want at 1700 calories>knocked out pokemon at around 1490 which isn't enough time for them to respawn and catch them>can't use the backup because the odds of getting the one I already did get is abysmally lowI really wish this game didn't autosave.
