Finally finished that stupid npc partner doubles thing in the gen 4 tower. Wasn’t actually too bad, but christ does every round feel like they’re about to throw.

This has the Ash/Satoshi OT, doesn't it?

Anyways, just spent an hour getting a new ID to sign into this foreign 3ds I got and made sure everything works, so now I'm much less stressed about it.

>>58886515
>This has the Ash/Satoshi OT, doesn't it?
Pretty sure it does, the whole reason it works is they made the lock apply to Ash's ID instead of the player's, so it actually won't shine if yours is the same (or something like that).

>>58886635
It#s the other way around. Lock applies to player ID.
It having a different ID is what makes it possible to shine.

why the fuck wont latias shine I swear all the other za legend hunts wwent fint but this fucking latina wont be orange

Latias is the one ZA legendary I won't be hunting, I hunted it way back in the day in OR, got a random shiny in GO during the days when field research gave you legendaries, and got my only dynamax one was a shundo. It was actually my first legendary scan so I just caught it to get it out the way.

Can't wait til GameFreak introduces the gender change item, so i eon't have to deal with male Gardevoirs, Gothitelles and such

>>58889097
great
add another tranny propaganda shit to the game

>>58889105
I'm not autistic about much in Pokemon, but gender is one thing I'd love to be able to change. Some Pokemon I feel like are only natural as a man or as a woman, and so it leads to taking a while to catch a Pokemon for the team that has the correct gender. I don't want my masculine mons to be women.

>>58889129
pokemon wasn't made for us to be this autistic about shinies either, anon

Still searching for a xs impish female fen. I'm still in the same hyperspace I was a couple days ago since it has 3 good teleporters. I've caught plenty of xs females though and even an alpha, but I can't decide if I should reload the backup save and do it all over so I don't have to hunt donuts or a good hyperspace again.

>>58889105
Of course a retard would link an actual game mechanic that could be useful to tranny shit. You are beyond saving, faggot

>>58889131
If that were true they wouldn't give us tools every generation to make shiny hunting easier, or reward people for being autistic about catching every pokemon by letting them leverage the shiny charm to be autistic about shinies.

>>58887103
I'm at 1308, aside from Null and Poipole lines and Arceus not sure what I am missing. Does Arceus count for 18?

This teleporter spot takes the longest to get shinies for some reason. Other areas of this map I can get them to spawn in 5-10 minutes but this one is the only one that regularly takes 20+ minutes.

>>58892034
I have good luck with that teleport spot though.

Is there any reason to shiny hunt on LGPE anons? Just found out that you can't even get ribbons there
>>58892034
There's one that can spawn at the top of the building on the other end of this teleporter, that one goes to the other side of the map and I think it's the best one for this map because it works for 2 spawns and a few pokemons of a 3rd spawn

>>58892424
>Is there any reason to shiny hunt on LGPE anons?
I'm sure there's some pokemon you can't get in any other switch game there so maybe that

>>58892443
Seems like it's the only way to get both Ratatta without transferring from 3DS/GO

I need to get some new batteries for them tho...

>>58893052
I also have an extant copy of emerald I've had for years (I got it new) that I need to replace the battery on. But I don't feel like potentially fucking up my copy of emerald with my inexperienced soldering abilities, nor do I feel like sending it out to have someone else solder it.
One of these days I'll do enough soldering to decide to tackle it.

>>58893068
>But I don't feel like potentially fucking up my copy of emerald with my inexperienced soldering abilities
I don't solder anything, I just removed it and a new put with some tape and it works just as good lol

Is there any good way to shiny hunt in Legends Arceus early in the game for the starters anons? Want to beat it with a shiny team but no idea if it's possible to get them early

>>58893101
For the starters? You can only hunt them in the post game DLC, if you mean the LA ones. Chimchar has a quest and after that (and having surf) you can hunt him. Turtwig is in the area with Ursaluna. Piplup is in the sea zone.

>>58893194
I think he means the PLA starters you need to choose, rowlet, oshawott and cyndaquil

>>58893194
I guess I could just send the starter I pick to SV, MM a shiny one and send it to PLA. Too bad that I can't keep the PLA pokeball if I do this, but it is what it is.
>>58893253
yeah

>>58893264
ok, I checked and I think the only to hunt in the game is after you reach the middle part of the game, at the earliest

It's actually really hard to go back to SWSH or PLA after you get to experience the 60fps of SV or ZA

>>58894107
this is like saying you can't go back to gen 6 or gen 7

>>58894168
I can't...

What's the reason not to? It's the easiest for the first 150 Pokemon to get Shiny, a 31+ combo with lure and Shiny Charm is way better odds than Masuda Method and Shiny Charm elsewhere. Plus setting Natures is a breeze.

You could do it in BDSP for the Kanto one, but LGPE is probably easier. I think Spearow is in the same boat.

>>58894389
I find SV easier for the ones that are there but it isn't too bad I guess. I'm just scared of them running away.
>>58894884
I don't have BDSP but I already got two of the normal ones so it wasn't too bad, now I have like 50 non shiny ones to keep trading for the Alolan form. Never noticed Spearow wasn't in the other games. I'll try to get one or two in another day.

I fucking hate shiny hunting in Scarlet. I hope they take note from ZA and add the shiny sound or at least fucking sparkles, a larger spawn range than 3 meters radius and get rid of the fucking grass

>>58895293
The worst is just a lack of anything meaningful to shiny hunt.
The shiny locks are oppressive and anything else is just too easy. MMing is so much worse in SV too.
Tera raids being modern full odds or locked sucks too.

>>58895298
>The shiny locks are oppressive and anything else is just too easy.
I'm curious about how people will find out if a pokemon is shiny locked on the next gen with it being SW2 exclusive

>>58895311
it's probably safe to assume that the starters and legendaries will be locked

>>58895311
How was it found out what Pokemon were shiny locked in X and Y? IIRC at most there were just power saves then.

Base SwSh's only other method of shiny hunting sucked total ass; it was basically an extremely bastardized version of DexNav.
