Going to start hunting Lugia and Deoxys in FRLG. Should I just master ball it? Shit is so nerve wracking that I might kill them.

you can prepare
there's multiple strategies to make the battle last a lot. Also, research the moves they have

There were several other mons too, some I just didn't take while resetting a consistent den and others that I moved to home or gave away.

Have a practice battle with them to see how much Struggle recoil does, that way you can gauge if you should Master Ball or not.

Just a great ball. Never did a proper hunt before and didn't have a team for it, so I mainly used my Pidgeotto and Dugtrio to help capture.

that's not over odds tho

Do capture dates bother you anons?

Move over shiny Manaphy, the shiny Emerald Pokedex Spinda is the new rarest shiny Pokemon:

Maybe in cases like that, but generally I only care about OT name and that's about it.
>>
>>59026885
Save yourself the insanity and at the very least go and get yourself an Old Rod and fish up Magikarp yourself because if you do that at least you can also farm Meowth Pickup items so the time isn't that much of a waste.
I probably have enough berries at this point to max out my Powder Jar.
>>
>>59033193
I may just rng manip one after fixing the date.
It's not in the spirit, but I'm not thrilled at the prospect of doing another one.
>>
>>59033135
Celebi is a funny pokemon to have a stupid future capture date for
>>
>>59033135
That's pretty funny and fits Celebi. It was destined to be that way.

I was trying to get a Growlithe with Intimidate and Adamant nature but this guy decided to show up before that. It has Intimidate and Careful nature isn't a disaster. I'll add it to my team.

What is the ideal shiny rate in your opinion? Do you like the current 1/4096 odds?
>>
>>59034980
Depends on the mon. Long reset times means I want better odds.

>Ever busted a nut to lugia?
not to lugia but I was jerking off while reseting for a shiny giratina and I got it but then I went full retard and killed it with a fucking quick attack...
took me like another 7000+ resets to reclaim it
that's why you should never fap while shiny hunting, bros..

Who gives a damn? Unless they are destiny marked Jumbo/Mini or Rare marked those shinies aren't worth shit.

Hoping Cetitan is in Gen 10 so I can get a shiny one

>>59036070
What's stopping you from getting one now?

>>59036018
yep, that's fucking right
I used odor sleuth on giratina so I could false swipe it with my smeargle

Not buying SV

Why?
>>
>>59036142
nta but he probably hates how SV's graphics and performance
>>
>>59036142
Simply no interest like most of the Switch games. Getting the last Switch 2 at my local store as a ZA bundle is the only reason I have it.
>>
>>59036145
Don’t blame him, I collected an entire living Dex of every SV mon by trading on the GTS alone. I’ve never owned or played SV and most likely never will.

>>59036312
at the end of the day, each to their own but the game isn't that bad, especially if you play on a switch 2

So lads, what are we thinking the prizes for Z-A & MD living dexes are gonna be?
If it's not Hoopa for Mega Dimensions at least, Game Freak is retarded

Do we expect one for FRLG?
>>
>>59038131
I'd guess Mew
>>
>>59038281
Mew for FRLG? That'd save a lot of people the Faraway Island hunt, at least
>>
>>59038296
That's why I think it won't be Mew, because I think they want to give more of an incentive for people to pick up the other GBA Pokemon games when they release eventually. Cutting Mew out of it will at least curb some from picking it up.
>>
>>59038131
FRLG is a bit more complex. Home only lets you withdraw from the game, so they'd need to make a special exception. Mew will be catchable in Emerald, so we won't need it here.
I'd say FRLG is Celebi and RSE is Jirachi, maybe not even shiny. They need a way to make them available in the new Gen 3 ecosystem. Other solutions are to either make new mystery events (too much work, unlikely) or unceremoniously drop them in your boxes at a certain point.
>>
>>59038311
Ooh I like this Logic

Theories on Z-A/MD?
>>
>>59038358
Hoopa's the DLC mascot and the shiny wasn't released yet. Makes perfect sense to me.
I think there's also a case for Marshadow. Zeraora is debuting in GO this summer, so it might be too soon to release the shiny for Alola Tour in February. The only other Alola mythical they could use is Marshadow, who still needs a mainline debut.
Thought this was worth mentioning after how Meloetta was handled. Shortly after we got the Home reward, it was announced for Unova Tour.
>>
>>59038573
Thankfully my autism forced me to complete as much of the Dex as possible as I progressed through the game and have it 100% complete now. I always wanted a Shiny Hoopa!
