You can get a perfect shiny using Pkhex. And it's as legal and as valid as a shiny gotten from 9348348958 attempts with a shit nature and ivs. And if you are too autistic about it and it feels too perfect you can also randomize its values. Spending hundreds of hours resetting your game or running back and forth to get thousand of wild encounters just to get a Pokémon that you (and everyone else) could have in 5min seems extraordinarily autistic.

You should be ashamed of yourself for wasting your life away on this shit

okay but, counterpoint: they enjoy doing it, they like the feeling of satisfaction it brings them, and why stomp on other people's joy?
>>
>>58858202
>wasting 8+ hours hunting for a shiny that can be caught in 2 minutes in sv or plaz
why?
>>

>You should be ashamed of yourself for wasting your life away on this shit
If you're having fun while doing it, then it's not wasted.
Anyway, there are bots that do shiny hunting for you doing all the encounters and shit

you say this like almost every single thread doesn't have some random guy throwing a paddy about those games?
some people just prefer the older games, and that's okay c:
..but if you want a logical answer; the little emblems that come with them and/or a specific ribbon/title.
>>
>>58858222
Because SV or ZA are worse games, hope it helps

see?

What even is the point of this thread? Why are you wasting you life away here?
I don't like shiny hunting either but you are just screaming into the void lmfao. Also you literally orbit around the Pokémon series at your age just like the rest of us, so you are definitely mentally ill too.
>>
OP bitches and pisses and moans about people who soft reset for shinies when I guarantee you he's wasted more time gooning to cartoon pornography
>>
>>58858202
shining hunting is ONLY based if it's your one and only true favorite shiny
wasting your life for a shiny random shitmon #155 is just sad

>>58858231
>anything being worse than bw
doubtful

>>58858202
>Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

Sounds right.
>>
>>58858222
Every single game has a way to completely trivialize shiny hunting.
Only shinies from Gen 1 are legit, because you don't know they're shiny until you trade them upward.

swsh beg to differ

>>58858324
Masuda Method, Dynamax Adventures.
>>
>>58858319
gen 2 had the odd egg breeding guide which was quite cool ngl, and then gen 4 had the cute charm glitch.
>>
>>58858202
>You should be ashamed of yourself for wasting your life away on this shit
This but with posting on 4chan at your age OP
>>
I never felt anything at all when I encountered a shiny, and I've encountered gen 3 shinies even. I'm probably dead inside desu.
>>
you can buy any kind of fish you want from a market too, buddy. sometimes i just like to sit in my boat and fuck around aimlessly
>>
>>58858328
both of those methods are slower than soft ressenting in that game
>>
>>58858362
Cool, how do I SR for Shiny Solgaleo, Lunala or Necrozma in SWSH?
How do I SR for all the Pokemon who aren't static encounters in SWSH?
>>
>>58858362
>soft resetting
>on the Switch
Do you mean camp resets? Because soft resetting died when they left the 3DS. And as mentioned, you can't actully camp reset a FUCKLOAD of things in that game, leaving you only RE and/or Masuda or Dynamax adventures to get shiny versions of things.
>>
>>58858319
>, because you don't know they're shiny until you trade them upward.
you can check DV's
>>
>>58858397
Soft resetting still works for things like Arceus in BDSP and the "strong" pokemon in swsh with date skip
>>
>>58858401
And you can't do that without editing your save. And if you really have to edit your save to check your Pokemon's DVs to confirm its shininess before sending it up, you might as well just hack them all to be shiny.
>>
>>58858412
That is a HARD reset child. Turning off the game, then restarting it. There is no "press button combo to get to title screen" bit since they moved to Switch because most if not all the buttons they historically used for soft reset combos are now used for in-game actions. And date skip is, shockingly enough, abusing the coding that refreshes daily events by changing the system date and NOT in fact a "soft reset" when you press a specific button combo to close the game and return to title screen.
>>
>>58858429
>using an IV or DV calculator is editing your save
???
>>
>>58858435
A hard reset would be turning off the console, retard
>>
>>58858429
>you can't do that without editing your save.
The fuck are you talking about, you just put the numbers into a DV calculator.
>>
Easy come, easy go.
I used Pokesav a lot in gen 4, but why keep them when I don't have any attachment to them?
Those that I made are all long gone.
>>
>>58858377
Nta but the original argument was that these methods don’t trivialize hunting because they take so fucking long SR is faster. It not being available isn’t really relevant because the point is it would be faster if it was
>>
>>58858313
But he did get different results

The best part of shiny hunting is that it makes ADHD babbies mad.
>>
>>58858535
>bro if you don't spend tens of hours resetting or walking around as if you were having a stroke it means that you have adhd
>>
>>58858214
Same logic as collecting funko pops btw
I can't imagine cheating them in either its just a reskin.

Meanwhile I caught 3 of them including an alpha in ZA after resetting a couple of times to get the portal I want and popping a shiny + alpha power donut in 30 minutes.
