>>59073118Time is still important even if you use the backup savesEvery time you catch something, or even use the fast travel to cycle spawns, the game autosavesSo if you encounter shinies that arent your target and catch them, it autosaves, shaving time of your clock, and if you use a backup save, it deletes the shinies you caught So you have to manage the clock AND decide if the shinies youve caught are worth trashing to get your target if it didn't spawn

>>59074197Pokemon Y.
>>59074115What mon?
>>59074218Ralts. I've done the Ralts line shiny before, but not since Platinum was the latest Pokemon game. I figured it was high time to do an update with a competitive quality one in an apricot ball.
>people finally figured out how to date skip BDSP for the ribbonsWe are so back

I'm very confused. I've been trying to use the backup restore reset for this Crabrawler hyperspace hole for hours and no matter what I do, I can't get them in the spot I want them. ONLY meditite and pancham. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
>>59075297I feel like sometimes they just don't want to move. Had something similar with Porygon before.
Shiny Donuts can kiss my assI got tired of trying to get a Ghost donut out of the brat, so I settled for an Alpha lv 2 with a Shiny Dark lv 3 and let it ride Not only did I get the stupid "Catch A Shiny Pokémon" task, which guaranteed a Shiny Gimmighoul, I got an Alpha one in like 20 minutes of spawn campinghttps://files.catbox.moe/wkicqo.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/knwtap.mp4
>>59076154Wait, I just checked my inventory, I still have the Dark donut I used JUST an Alpha Lv2 DonutThe game gave me a free "Shiny" task?And I just muscled out the Alpha? My luck is stronger than I thought
>>59076163Game just tossed me 2 more Gimmighoul for my trouble
>>59076186How many boxes of shinies do you have in ZA?
got my shiny hunting setup finally back in order after my hard drive with all my art/video related stuff failed on new year's. decided to change the old layout around a bit, sadly I've had to recreate my pinball shiny spriteshoping to hit 3k encounters by the end of the weekend, I'm hungry for this Eevee and don't want another hunt that drags out for 4 months
>>59076762283 shinies, so like 9 boxes
>>59076918Is that about how hard they want shinies to be anymore?
How do you guys count how many Pokemon you are into a hunt since your last shiny?Is there an automated way to do it.?
>>59077120>How do you guys count how many Pokemon you are into a hunt since your last shiny?I use a counter app>Is there an automated way to do it.?probablybut I bet you need to buy and do a lot of shit to get it working, like a camera, coding, a raspberry Pi, etc
>>59077060I have 500+ hours A good portion of that is likely leaving the game running overnight cycling spawns with the turbo controller on benches The hyperspace zones require RNG to setup to begin with, and see >>59073805 for how donuts only do so much Its easier, but its not any less tedious, if thats what you're concerned with
Manifesting my golden Charmander by watching all 16 seasons of Gold Rush
>finally find a shiny after 9000 encounters>it's the wrong ratREEEEEEEEEEEEE
is shiny hunting a spectrum?
>>59078378Why not just gen the pokemon if they can't be detected anymore?
>>59078430They were ever detectable? Serious question I've no fucking clue.
>>59078613Detected is the wrong word, more to the effect of them being invalid for transfer.
>>59078617What stuff exactly makes them invalid for transfer? I've never actually played the more recent gens, I like sticking with older titles.
>>59078655nta but>illegal moves>illegal stats>shinyness doesn't match the PIDthis is what comes to mind
>>59078703>shinyness doesn't match the PIDSo wouldn't pRNG method shinys be perfectly valid for transfer by that metric? That's what I thought the RNG manip the guy was talking about was.
The different Scatterbug and Spewpa forms count for a living dex right, or am I being far too autistic?
I just caught Beldum in a fucking Love Ball by mistake https://files.catbox.moe/0o9lm0.mp4
In case there was any doubts, using a macro controller for shiny hunting resets is going to get you into a lot of repeated seeds. Might as well not do it unless you can program some variation in inputs
Should I focus on resetting for a shiny Charmander in FireRed or make a cute charm save file in Platinum?
day 22 of hunting charmander.............still havent started fire red..........
>>59080502Just play the game! You can shiny hunt all the static legendaries later.
>>59080535naaaaahhb nigga ive been playing this game basically my whole life it's time to earn the shiny starter right simple as
>>59080570Better off saving before grabbing your starter, speedrunning to Celadon to use ACE to figure out your SID, and manip them.
>>59080912Good advice, nta but I gotta remember that

Does Cute Charm glitch affect Giratina?
>>59082476I don't know but I'm gonna assume that it doesn't because legendaries are genderless so cute charm is useless for them, regardless of the glitch
How many hours of my life have I wasted resetting this fucking piece of shit goddamn legendary? Just so I can get shones and feel good about myself. It's a fucking joke.That's the only reason people shiny hunt, really - so they can like get a short high. No one who shiny hunts is a fuckin' pokemon master. Y'know, beating the league and doing actually important things in game. Everyone who shiny hunts is an autist, and getting shones is the only way they can feel good about themselves. And like how many fuckin' hours of my life have I wasted doing that bullshit? It's so stupid. It's fucking shit. All I fuckin' do is waste my time away trying to get 5iv shones for a temporary goddamn high which will last, fuckin...y'know, an hour. Until it goes away, and /shg/ exposes me for the shiny hunting SHITTER I am. Fucking hell dude. It's a complete joke.Shiny hunting is the most autistic act man has ever come up with. Well, it's fucking true. It's fucking true. The only reason we shiny hunt is 'cause we have nothing else to do. So we fuckin' shiny hunt, 'cause it gives us this temporary feeling of like "THERE IT IS, I did it, I'm the luckiest in the world at this thing...that like nobody with any sense does." That's all it is. Really. We're all fuckups.We masquerade around /vp/ like "haha, we're so cool running around the Friend Safari getting shones, aren't we fuckin' special!" Nah, we're just a fuckin pile of goddamn idiots. That's all we are. It's ridiculous. People thinking shiny hunting is fun is the biggest goddamn meme on the board. I'm telling the truth, let's be real. Everyone knows it. People are just too afraid to say it.It's the absolute truth. It really is. And we can pretend "we're big shots on /vp/, we make kids happy with our 0iv shinies, we have fun" ...At the end of the day it's the truth. You know. I just exposed all of shiny hunting. It's a thing we do to waste time to feel good about the game. That's it.
>>59082476no, but it works on heatranneeds to a) have a gender and b) have two possible genders. Clefable works (75% female) but not jynx (100% female) or ditto (no gender)

>>59082971good for you bro or sorry that happened
>>59083164What did they do?
>>59083671Other than the former two pushing to get Goose cancelled? The latter two drove Apollo Legend to his death and the former tried to position himself as a champion who would get 'justice' for Apollo, claiming that Billy Mitchell was the one who did it.

This fucking Gazelle. I've already resetted this fucking game like 100 times, ~25 rolls on each reset, and Virizion won't shiny. Just today I'm on the 16th reset, starting to doubt the process.
>>59084397>like 100 timeswhat a baby lol
>>59079623
>>59084413I hope you love it.
>>59084413>>59084419I named him M. Fer-Blanc, or "Mr. Tin," because despite being metal, he still has a heart :y
>>59084424looking good
>>59085027Thanks, anon
>>59084424>not an alphaDamn bitch you live like this?
Shiny Seel doesn't exist
*obligatory /shw/ bitch post to get the game to give the desired result* I keep rolling EVERYTHING but Water/All lv 3. While sitting with a water starter special scan.
Just got a Shiny Pidgey on Fire Red, let me post a pic in a few minutes.
>>59085220I was looking for an Alpha, but I caught this one in a Love Ball by mistake The fact that the Love Ball worked first try unintentionally makes this Metagross worth more than an Alpha not in the Love Ball
>>59085361This is why you keep any of the other good looking donuts while aiming for a target. So if you got something like Sparkling Power Flying Lv. 3 while aiming for Water, might wanna keep it for later.
>>59079612Technically they do, but it's not really that important, same for Own Tempo RockruffIf you feel as though you need a bunch of visually identical caterpillars and cocoons that you'll likely struggle to tell apart from the others in order to feel as though your living dex is complete then go for it
>>59085599I have Latias and fuck all else I want to hunt in it and I have a Psychic/all lv 3 for her. I'm waiting on a new game to allow me to hunt shit I'm still missing and GO shinies I want to replace. But to get to Latias, I need to both clear this scan AND hit 25k. So I want a lv.3 Water with maybe a 2/3 Alpha chance to only need one more HS to hit the next scan (already at 3.5k-ish).
>>59084397Finally got it, 121 resets, 3000 spawns later. Fuck you too, Virizion. Now only Latias remains.
>>59085418I kneel...
>>59085801Rise, brother, and may the winds of whimsy blow across your back as well
>Geodude>Ghastly>Budew>repeatI just want a simple fucking Petilil outbreak.
>>590860895 more resets
Running shiny Eevee for XD. Never knew some of the colors were different. Apparently Flareon is pink here.
>>59086942yeah, the gamecube games changes a lot of shiniessome shinies look way better than in the main games too
Regieleki. It wasn't until I was partway through Registeel that I found out that the shiny charm doesn't work in the Regi encounters in Sword and Shield, resulting in full odds.It's painful, but at least resetting on Switch is more convenient than in the past.
im so slow with resetsthough theres maybe 2000 more i did on the couch
>>59073805This picture makes me die of death
Shiny hunted Eevee for so long but it was worth it. I now have a lv 100 shiny Sylveon to be friends with my lv 100 shiny alpha Furfrou.
Reminder to delete any and all shinies from Pokemon GO.
>>59086942got mine in 30 minutes. was easy with the NSO save states. Evolved to an Umbreon. May try for a Trapinch
>>59088023>Modest Goddamn>Umbreon:(

>>59088046Female and Modest is some god level luckShould've gone for Espeon or Jolteon to capitalize, but at least Umbreon can get some mileage of out Modest for its dark moves in III
>>59088032Eevee didn't become one of their golden children until well into the 2010sHonestly, I don't think they had many golden children in this eraPikachu looks especially non-descript in this gen when later 3D games actually have it emote somewhat
>>59079612Yeah you are being autistic, but them and Rockruff OT and Greninja BB all count. Also Mothim has different forms on the backend based on the Burmy it evolved from but they fixed that for Gholdengo
Doing a monotype Ice run in Z-A. I just want to get a shiny Amaura. Any shiny Amaura. It doesn’t have to be alpha, it doesn’t have to have an optimal nature or IVs… but the game flat out hates me and says no.
>>59088213>shiny Amaura without hyperspaceGood fucking luck, you're gonna need it.
>>59088077Always liked that rain animation.
>>59088229I was the idiot a few months ago that tried to get the shiny alpha Tyrunt before the DLC ever came out. I did get what I wanted through the DLC (bittersweet as that was), so I'm familiar with the bullshit here. I was able to at least get 20 fossils for this.
>>59088077Could easily be Florida
>>59088229>>59088213Amuara seems to spawn in the fucking sewer zones, which are the worst, shittiest zonesUnless you get a spawn right next to the Fly marker, you're probably in for a rough ass time

Is the shiny charm easy to get in Sword and Shield?
>>59089610do you mean easy to import stuff from home for? yeah. not hard to get in game but of course requires two games and a little googling. might as well get the mark charm if you're just moving stuff in from home. you get it pretty late game in the story, though. like 2/3 through, just before the marnie gym
>>59089655I pretty much blitzed through Shield when it came out and barely caught anything and only came back a bit later for those Dynamax battles, but it looks like the charm helps quite a bit with hunting in it.
>>59089657Took me around 3 days to get the dex reward in home, but I already had a lot of stuff moved in from playing it, if that's any help for an idea how long it would take you.
>>59089609Not but i'm available to help

Is it possible (and reasonable) to shiny hunt roamers, for example the legendary dogs / Lati@s in HGSS?
>>59090472yes (no)
>>59090472everything is possible
>>59090472yes, you can and there's multiple of videos of people getting thembut they're pretty long hunts since the resets take a lot of time
>>59090507>>59090620>>59090650I don't think I actually want to try, but what exactly is involved? Is there the standard chance of it being shiny each time you encounter it, even if you've already encountered it before?
>>59091141noyou need to save before the roaming pokemon starts roaming in the wildin FRLG, it would be before giving the ruby and sapphire to the guy in island onein RSE, it would be before going down the stairs and checking the TV after you clear the game oncefor mesprit in DPPt, you need to save before talking to it, I thinksame with cresseliafor Raikou/Entei in HGSS, you need to save before encountering them in the burned tower, see pic relatedI've hunting them in my HG copy for years on and off and since I'm lazy I barely do any resets to because they can take a while to doin gen 5 you can hunt tornadus/thundurus too, you need to save before going out of the house in route 7
>>59091178>in FRLG, it would be before giving the ruby and sapphire to the guy in island oneso how can you check if the roamer is shiny? would this mean we have to beat the last 2 gyms and ALL of the indigo plateau without saving?
>>59091141for latis in hg, you save before you go to, I think the pokemon fanclub and it shows up after you exit. do not hunt it on respawns as that requires fighting lance then despawning then fighting lance again
>>59091323>so how can you check if the roamer is shiny?this is what you need to do to check>save before giving ruby and sapphire to the guy>give the items>fly to whatever route you want>use a repel with a high or similar level to the roamer on the first party slot>go in and out of routes and check the grass every time until you find the roamer>if not shiny, reset and repeat
>>59091337The roamer doesn't spawn until you get the national dex.
>>59091378yeah, I don't remember all the details but I know that you need to save before giving the ruby and sapphire to the guy in island one so you can trade with the other gen 3 gamesthat's the event that triggers the roaming pokemonpretty sure you get the national dex after you clear the game once so you should have it by then and the sevii islands quest is postgame
>>59091323>would this mean we have to beat the last 2 gyms and ALL of the indigo plateau without saving?Sevii Islands are optional though, you do not HAVE to get on the boat.
>>59091141At least in HGSS it's somewhat simple, just save before encounter them then have a Mamoswine and bike between the city and the route, Mamo kills with eq to check both and if no shiny reset. Theres multiple videos of grand autists doing it.

>>59094879So does a peacock.
>>59094801>spent an entire day catching over 40 dittosI captured about 500 in the gen 6 friend safari recently, I got two in that entire time (three if you want to get technical) that naturally had two extra IVs to 31 beyond the guaranteed ones.You're gonna need a hell of a lot more than 40, you're looking at over 2k odds assuming you have a sync lead of the right nature.
>>59094890And yet I don't want to fuck a peacock.
>>59094981You would if it was a Pokémon.Why isn't there a peacock Pokémon?
>>59093951cute onahole
>>59095016>Why isn't there a peacock Pokémon?
>>59095016>what is quaquavalIt's even a predominately male species with a masculine-focused design to pick up chicks, the same way peacocks have birbdicks and bright colours to attract peahens
>>59095378>>59095419>>59095016Quaquaval has the tail, but peacocks are a breed of pheasants
>>59095543>semanticsAnd yet in real life, peacocks and pheasants are considered two different species, despite being related by family. just like the pokémon pheasant and peacock are two different species despite only one showing classical gender dimorphism to imitate their inspirations. I'll also point out the superfluousness of adding a 1:1 pokémon peacock, when Unfezzant exists (very samey concept played absolutely straight) which is why they chose to feature it as a starter, where they didn't need to A) make a secondary form for females and B) could get away with giving it a defined masculine air while presenting it as a peacock. Which also counters Anon's spastic take here >>59095016 that a different Anon would fuck a peacock pokémon because it was a pokémon after he claimed to prefer having a female shiny of a different pokémoon due to that different pokémon looking feminine to him.
>>59095543that's a pigeon
you guys are clearly larping because the species is called a peafowl. peacocks are only the males, the females are peahen.
>>59095939Most people didn't graduate with master's degrees in biology to give a shit about the "proper" name for the species though kid.

On the other hand, I got my shiny water donut after bitching here and after burning a further nothing donut to get the scan points, found her HS zone the next special scan, like I'd bitched about wanting to do, so swings and roundabouts., Better failing to find her while hunting, than failing to find her zone while schelpping special scans.
