Rain isn't real edition
>>58857311>Rain isn't realI'm starting to think that this is true...
>>58857517After you catch Rayquaza the weather gets locked.
>>58857558not really, you can see the weather on the menu right beside your money and it changes for me when I rest on the bench. Rain just seems to be super rare.
>>58857569no it's a real bug
>>58857628Well I got rain like a minute after my last post so I guess not everyone got this bug.
just got my first legit shiny legendary with latiosthankyou for making it bearable, zed-eai
I haven't done any purposeful hunting yet, but the two shinies I have seen and caught randomly were an Azumarill and a Scizor which I'm quite happy about.
>>58857782>>58857792congrats anons!
got a couple of small galar mr mimes if anyone was having trouble with that particular hunt
Well, Ranked ZA battles are still dogshit, even more with the power ups, but at least i got my Sceptilite.when's the Swampert one coming out?
>>58858400not a fan of them either, but i literally got all the stones with 2 battles so meh
alright, im giving upcan anyone trade me some feebas, one for the damn quest and one for me
my original switch 1 died, with all my pokemon on it, yayso im rebuilding my shinies, can i skip playing lets go E/P and BDSP? or are there exclusives that arent available in them ?
>>58858674Do you want a living 'dex or what? The Kanto legends can be hunted, everything that can be chained can be hunted and everything in Sinnoh, I think, can also be hunted, with a completed L: A file allowing a hunt for GodLlama.
>>58858681And IIRC, you can get the charm "early" by sending shit from GO to complete your 'dex (which I'm considering doing for LGP) when you hit Fushia.
>>58858681yeah i add a complete dex for all entries once the S/V dlc came out, so slowly building that again would be the goali just find bdsp really boring past the initial play and letsgo is letsgo, so if i could skip those games that would be nice
>>58858697That's leaving you stuck with DA for the leggos. It's bad enough with what can be got, without having to do it for more than you need. Though Mespirit'd be a fucker to hunt any road.
Fuck yes weather fixed
>>58858703holy fuck i got trolled, thought it was hyper berries you could buy and got really excited NAWP still just normal berries which are useless
>>58858715hyperspace movement fix thank heavenswas so annoying in that ideal hunting small map
>>58858713hmmm, i literally dont even remember doing the dynamax stuff in the dlc, can that be solo'd ?if not ill just suck it up and run thru the older games again i guess for the legends
>>58858723Yeah, some can. People say Zygarde's a bitch, but the three times I reached the fucker (Yay, RNG NPC twats!), I beat it twice and 3rd went in on "next KO ends run" because RNG NPC twats.
>>58858715Wake me when there's a hyperspace berry shop opened.
Is there a good general guide to Dynamax Adventures for single player for repetitive hunting?
>>58858715The shards one is really nice even though I don't really need it anymore. They could make a shop to trade it for hyper berriesHappy they fixed the dex not showing some shiny mons too, had this problem with Mewostic.
Finally man
>>58858773Not really, get 999 ores and when you get a good path just reset that. Otherwise just let your npc's pick the good mons so they dont get stuck with the shitters.
>>58858791gratz rain anon, surely ill get a feebas zone soon...
>>58858824ayyyy got one finally, good luck comes for us all
>>58858779>Happy they fixed the dex not showing some shiny mons toojust tested and you have to catch/evolve the pokemon again...
>>58858773I have some general tips.1. don't let the npcs have pokemon that have entrainment. 2. sometimes you have to take the dogshit pokemon to prevent the npcs from having them.3. once you start recognizing what pokemon's silhouettes are, you'll have a better time. Many mons don't even have a STAB move.4. you may as well catch everything on your wayI've been away from DA for a little while, so if I was sharper then I'd have more ideas for you. Dynamax Adventures is cock and ball torture.
>>58858791Yup, that's one's a pain if you use a Dragon one instead of a Steel one
>>58858824If you get one, don't bother with a hard save Reset. Just get your zhiny Magikarp, and do the respawn method. That's how i did it
>>58858847Fuck me, but thank you. I played it a bunch in gen 8, only got 1 shint legend from it though. I know Wide Guard is wirth its weight in gold on the right caves but wrangling the NPCs or getting stuck with randos who dont know what they were doing are both kind of bullshit. >>58858795Are you suggesting I do anything specific with the ore? I already have a ton
Found this while looking for a hyperspace portal on a rooftop
>>58859213Sometimes a DA den will be so perfectly laid out that your odds of failing are near 0. At the cost of some ore, you can close the game at the victory screen if you don't get your shiny. This will keep the successful den and you can sail through it again.
>>58859228i will never understand why dragonite isnt this color as well
>>58857311Did they fix the donut clusterfuck?? I am kinda coping of a hidden patch to the fucked up RNG
>>58859424because in the past, they only did a palette color swap for the shinies, that's why the shiny of a lot blue pokemon is pinksince dragonite isn't blue, then the palette swap isn't pink
>>58859428No
>>58858716Good for adjusting ev spreads
>>58859457>gyarados is blue and turns red>golduck is blue turns bluer>nidoqueen is blue turns green>psyduck is yellow and turn blue>staryou is brownish and turns grey/blue>swinub is brown and turns blueyour argument is invalid
>>58860395you can easily replicate it on photoshop if you use the gen 2 sprites
>>58859272Ohhh thats genius, didn't even consider that. Thanks! Fuck RNG
>>58860616You bet, a good den gives almost 6 victories per hour. I found that excluding extreme outliers, my average victories till shiny was around 70. Reshiram showed up first try when I wasn't hunting it, while Palkia took like 320 tries for a mon with a spread move, few weaknesses, and only a 30% victory rate if not using a good den.
if I get another 5 star gimmighoul den I'm gonna fucking break something, I have one legendary left, plz god just spawn already
Oh yeah, turn animations OFF when doing DA.You save several minutely per run because they take SO LONG.
>>58860666nta but does playing on a switch 2 help with load times?
>>58860672Doesn't make a gigantic difference except the initial start up, but I don't have any real numbers.The issue is that unless you're resetting a den you'll not come into contact with the better load times and the limited time save means it would be tough to even save 1 DA's worth of time.
>>58860672>Top Sword speedrun is 4h 4m on Switch>Top Sword speedrun is 3h 57m on Switch 2Both by the same guy, so probably no difference in routingIt's not much but Switch2 is clearly faster
I have a question about Legends ZA and its hyperspaces. I'm trying to catch one of the "random" legendaries from the DLC's postgame and I entered Terrakion's zone with a shiny level 2 donut. What I want to know is if legendaries can despawn and respawn if you get far from them (like with transporter panels), or if they stay fixed in their spot when they spawn the first time like a shiny pokemon, meaning that if I don't see it shiny the first time I have to restart the game
>>58860890The strat for Terrakion is to use that rooftop transporter to despawn it then travel back and walk up just past the flower bed to respawn it.Each respawn is a new roll.
>>58860890Each of them have a specific area and always spawn on the same place. To shiny hunt them you can follow the same rules you do for other pokemons>they spawn within 50m>despawn at 70mThe only one that's a bit weird is Latios.
>>58860938What's wrong with Latios?
>>58860950Latios is not a distance spawn.There holovator that you go up in order to spawn it.So the strat is to save before taking the holovator, if shiny you win, if not you close the game and reload.
>>58860955Can you not just fall back down and use the holovator again? I thought that forced a respawn.
>>58860982It would not force the respawn, you'd have to get 70m away and then take the holovator again, which would take much longer because of the level's setup.The setup for Latios breaks the general conventions that most other mons operate under.
Shiny Starly. Still no manaphy.
>>58861012I've found a shiny Riolu and a shiny Lairon and still no shiny Cobalion.
>>58860932Thanks, that's what I was doing. Let's see if I get lucky
>>58861012you got this, bro
Oh magic conch will today be the day I finally get my shiny alpha mankey?>
>>58861389I hope you're planning to call it rosebud.
>>58861435>copying NPC's pokemon nicknamessoulless
>>58861435I was gonna call it salty because that's how this bitch is making me feel.
can anyone give me a droopy tatsugiri, i cannot get a zone to spawn with it
Any help with some stuff in Scarlet? I just need to register some stuff qnd evolve that Dolphin fag
literally shaking rn7300 resetspls get in the ball
>>58862493basedcongrats anonhard work always pays off
>>58862493>>58862502nice one anon, glad you stuck with it
>>58862493Nice one. What catch method did you use? Looking to do this hunt later this year
>>58862783Arceus catch rate is dog crap.My initial strategy was to bring Harvest Exeggutor with a leppa berry, but skill swap doesn't work.So I brought a Rotom with trick and thunder wave and a Blissey in the back. Blissey has a leppa berry, fling, recycle, sing, and heal pulse.Arceus has a mere 35pp total and it feels like it burns through them in no time. I let it struggle to half health. Use fling, recycle, and 2 more premiers caught it.
What is even the point of shiny hunting in ZA? They're less rare than gen 9 shinies which were already dime a dozen
>>58863149The point is getting cool guys and not caring about rarity
>"whaaaa stop having fun!"No, fuck you.
>>58863149I don't ever think of a "shiny market value." What matters more is that I have mine.
>>58863163If it really matters, why didn't you already have them before ZA?
>>58863204There's no time limit.
>>58863149Show me alpha Tyrantrum in Gen 9
>>58863149Why should I farm a 1/8192 chance instead of farming a 1/586 chance? It took me years and many playthroughs to ever get a single legit shiny in the old games. Shinies should be desirable for being shiny, not because you reset thousands of times for them.
>>58859428Gamefreak went full retard in general when they had to come up with an evolution for dragonair lol
>wanting to replay Sword>forgot how much i hated Hophe has to be the worst rival right
>>58863740Not even bottom 5
>>58863744whos worse? i hated kieran probably more but hes only in the dlcs, only other one is barry i guess, but hes in way less of the game than hop is
Legends Arceus crashes if you have a Shiny Giratina-O use Shadow Force.
>>58863740I'm going to replay Sword soon for my Ghost run.Hoping I'll run into some shiny Ghosts!
1 fraxure and 3 noibatsstill looking for that 2nd frax in friend safari ^_^
>>58863740speaking of shsw, I still haven't beat the champion lol
>Hunting Latias>barely any donut power left>shiny garde spawns and then immediately despawnsHonestly I'm more upset that latias isn't shiny than I am at losing out on that one
>>58863740Hau, Hop, the fags from Hoenn and the sissy from LGP/E
>>58863774Without even thinking: Hugh, Cheren, Blue, Silver, May, Serena, in no particular order after Hugh.
>>58864413you just hate everyone
Am I out of my mind or has there not been a /wfg/ thread in like two weeksEven despite a recent DLC that would in theory necessitate one
>>58864431iirc it came back for a bit after the dlc but for dlc owners the literal only reasons to trade are evolving feebas and evolving shiniesIf you're just doing dex feebas is the only trade evo unobtainable solo
>>58864449Even then, there are trade codes online that people still use where you can trade with randoms for evolving pokemon. Not good for shinies, but good for everything else as long as you actually check to make sure if the Pokemon needs an item that you and the other person are actually holding it.
>do a large zone for flamigo>sewer>find flamingo at the further area possible from the portal so I can't fly reset>walk away and save so I can walk back and forth to reset and then restart the game when I don't get a shiny in the time left>get a shiny flamigo on my first reset
Anybody got a spare Cranidos in SV? Not even a shiny one
>>58864950I'm trying to revive /wfg/ for this sort of stuff, so try posting there and hopefully people will start using it again >>58864571
>>58864424Not true, loved Barry wasn't offended by Hau, ignored Hop, loved the Paldea crew, liked Wally. Make the rival decent and not a sperg, edgetard or an irrelevance and I won't find cause to find them lacking.
Finally I can get a shiny of Liko’s 3rd offspring.
>>58865189I don't know how people can hunt this thingtrying to see if their eyes are blue or not is a fucking nightmare
>>58865196I personally got lucky, and had a sewer spawn with the charcadets right at the portal. I just fly spammed until I saw one with sparkles and then caught it. Ended up with three before I got bored and left.
What'd be the best way to get a very large Gallade and Gardevoir in Violet in your opinion?>Kirlia/Gallade/Gardevoir Outbreak with Sparkling/Title/Humungo and putting up with the Switch 2's broken spawn logic where it fills the spawn slots with unrelated mons 2 kilometers away and only then it starts slowly populating the outbreak>Kirlia farm in Levincia with Sparkling/Title/Encounter and hoping one of the 200 Kirlia on screen is both Shiny + Bigger than XLI care about Poké Balls so sadly I can't just get a PLA Alpha because the Strange Ball looks horribleAnd I want the BDSP ribbons for them so I can't get them in ZA either...
>>58865196I lucked it out and got a spawn near a teleport pad so I just left my turbo to respawn them. Currently only have 1 shiny female
Got a male and female shiny charcadet. Which one should be armarouge and which one should be ceruledge?
>>58865256Update: Got lucky with a Kitakami outbreak location where Switch 2 doesn't fuck me over and now mochi hips is mine. Size NPC said he's a big'un so that's at least XXL. Now I'm gonna go back there to get the female Kirlia for Gardevoir
>>58865338Both feel like male Pokemon. Make the female the Armarouge and the male Ceruledge.
>>58863204I have a life.
>>58865699.t /shg/ poster
>>58864431I think these threads are mostly active the month a new game releases.
>>58865196Because of the sparkles. I imagine that crap being aids to hunt in SV, where there's none
>>58865937Your buddy murder machine sorts out shinies for blind people
>>58865579Oh hell yes today was a GOOD fucking day
>>58865961Well, that's a cœl little factoid right there
>>58865974congrats anon!
>>58865961I hunt full odds so I don't do this
First shiny in my new game Pokemon Y, full odds I haven't even finished going through the story yet.
Thought i might share my first FULL ODDS SHINY IN AN OFFICIAL GAME, EVER. got it right after a friend gave me a shiny Basculegion just because, and i'm glad it's obnoxiously pink, otherwise i would've missed it
>>58866109congrats, billy goat
BUT THAT'S NOT IT. Right after checking that Basculegion had a fuckin' Master Ball as a held item, i got this one too. Full Odds as well. Shit got too crazy
>>58866032Side note: holy fucking shit Phantump simply doesn't exist. That's what I was here to catch but only found one after 80+ encounters, it was literally easier to get a full odds shiny than this thing.
Not a shiny, but has anyone tried hunting Ursaluna with 0/1 Attack, 0/1Speed? 3 minute resets at 1/1024 odds seems nasty, and one of my leading theories for no ZA backwards compatibility is... Well, it's the introduction of a new language, but I live in hope that it's bronze bottle caps
>>58866239Don't really follow the competitive stuff, but I get the low speed. Is there any reason for the low atk though?
>>58866263low attack is hyper autism about confusion damage it's really not worth it
>>58866265I mean... shiny hunting isn't much different. Some pokemons barely change and people still go for it.
>>58866265I'd say it's more about Foul Play damage and its quite a bit more common than confusionId only ever bother on a mon weak to dark though
I don't know why, but za really doesn't want me to have a shiny cubone.
>>58866414donut it
>>58864431Welcome to modern Pokemon where the name of the game is holding on to relevancy while scalpers and mobile sloptards keep the franchise afloat.
>>58866417I'm not going to spend a shiny donut to try and get a green cubone. Shiny donuts don't do anything beyond force a single shiny, but I'm not wasting the calories of a shiny 3 donut on a cubone.
>>58866440berries are not remotely hard to get hell you can even use alt recipies, the time it takes to reset for a shiny 3 would be faster than whatever the fuck you're doing
>>58866440>Shiny donuts don't do anything beyond force a single shinyevery level of sparkling adds to the roll with 3 plus a charm ending up something like ~1/590
>>58866443Yeah, like I just finally got a rotom hyperspace portal to show up, and it didn't take that long to get a 3 star sparkling donut for the guaranteed Rotom. As long as you're using back up saves of course.
>>58866477Rotom is even more busted for shiny donuts since the rotom forme's type differences count for the donut so you can use a for instance water 3 and your shiny will be a rotom wash, of course this only helps if you want a single shiny so still worth to go for the electric donut if you want more than one
>>58866486When I was grinding for the donut I hadn't realised the other forms would be around, so I just went with the ghost one I got in the end. Just wanted to get shiny Rotom out of the way in case I ever wanted it in the future considering how painful it is to get a rotom distortion. I did the same for Artibax. Probably should have done it for Gimmighoul but that Gholdengo shiny is insulting.
>>58866239I MMd Teddiursa.My shiny showed up with 0Spe and Best in everything except SpDef. I really considered dumping it and trying again to avoid the hyper trained text.
Bug level 1 spoiled me more than I deserve
>>58866443I don't care if they're hard to get or not, im not wasting the calories.>>58866450I've used enough shiny donuts to know that the "increased" chances mean nothing.
>>58866541Obviously it wasn't enough lol
>>58866541>im not wasting the calories.How is it a waste if they're fuck easy to get I don't understand this autism
>>58866541>I've used enough shiny donuts to know that the "increased" chances mean nothing.are you retarded
Is the meta for shiny hunting Virizion in ZA just running to the top of the roof from spawn and quitting the game and reloading?
>>58866994nope there's a place at spawn you run back and forth
>>58866994I got it by running on the street right beside the ice lake. That place is really close to the Fist of Justice dojo so you can actually put a mark on the real map and check which place is the best one for you to despawn and respawn it before entering the hyperspace.
That's all of the ZA shiny legendaries gotten now. Cobalion took the longest by far. The others went fast compared to it. Rotom's in the background as there isn't a 6th and he did get the legendary theme back in Sinnoh.
>>58867193Gee, they do let you hunt a whole 5 legendaries?
>>58867312>its 2026 and they still shiny lock shitFuck this jew company, I just want a shiny Genesect.
>>58867312Shiny locks suck. That said, there's a lot of grinding to unlock all of the portals so maybe it's for the best. At least you can get shiny legendaries unlike S/V and Legends ZA.
Got this with no boosted odds
>>58867333Just GO for one then?
>>58867353I shant be playing mobileslop either.
Nice. Also, got a Buizel and a Nacli already
