Deoxys edition
just reset shiny Lugia in Crystal.Binding reset to 1 button press is a blessing and a curse. Didn't even register what I saw until after the screen went dark.I would be unhappy if I didn't already have 2 Lugias from DA and Wormholes. Back to resetting.
>>59617001Reposting here. I also have a few Shiny Indeedees and some other stuff.

Guys I think we went too far this time...
>>59617636feds fear the shiny chads
>>59617636trump's secret perfect IV shiny frames...
>>59617636If they don't cave, we're dropping the shiny power Lv 4 recipe
>>59617381name him pikachu
>>59617636You know things are bad when you read a headline about the FBI getting into a firefight with child traffickers and you genuinely don't know who to side with
>>59617723You side with child traffickers either way so who cares.
Shifted from Necrozma to Fug and got Magneton.
>>59618138Nice
>>59618138Nice going. I love Magneton.
shining hunting just to keep them in their original games
>>59618728why man
>>59618728Soul
cap pikachu isn't affected by charm right?
>>59620022Nope, Gift Pokemon are full odds
bump
>>59620022Cap Pikachu doesn't come out as Shiny even if you roll him Shiny.
>Plan to breed exactly one Rufflet to get one in a Premier Ball (caught Brivary in Violet) to move to Arceus to evolve.>Get shiny on first egg.Reverse colour of Hissuian Brivary but neat.
>>59621762Masuda has stolen all my luck from SR Arceus and DA Legendaries.
>>59621821I'm 1800 eggs into a Duraludon hunt and I gave up a year ago. Maybe I'll go back to it, but I just don't care about the boue bridge as much now.
:DI thought it would take forever to rotate to scyther but it took like 5 minutes of resetting at jubilife
I've been shiny hunting pokemon for the last two months in B2, got the shiny charm, but egg-hatching is a drain. I also have developed autism from the Whitney battle in HG/SS and now only use male pokemon out of spite, so that doesn't help. I hatched six female trapinch before I got one male.>inb4 Flygon is trash broI just think he looks neat. Flygon slanderers deserve the rope.Currently shiny hunting charmander, already hatched one, female of course despite the like 1/10 chance.>Charizard is so mainstream broJust let me have this I beg you.
the great debate>but i catch everything in poké/premier/etc balls!i really don't give a shit
>>59622853luxury all the way
>>59622853All shinies in Luxury balls. No exceptions.
>>59622853Bottom has to much yellow, luxury.>I only use pokeballsI'm in this post and I don't like it.
>>59622853Luxury for Rayquaza, but most of my shiny legendaries are in premier balls.
>>59622853Luxary, not up for debate.
>>59622853Luxury is always a top tier ball, how can Fast Ball even compete?
>>59622898anon, that's a level ball...
>>59622853Ultra
>>59622907All shitty Apricorn Balls look the same to me
>>59622949okay retard
>>59622853Pokéball. I don’t care about your preference
>>59622949kurt the master ballsmith over here
I feel it, today's the day I get Null. Manifest destiny shit.
>>59623775Good luck to you. I'm 307 resets in on Sun, already bored out of my tree, and hating the knowledge that I need at least one more after this
>>59622853beast ball thobeit
Bumping with 1.5K Poipole SR, c'mon shine you little alien
>>59618728This, especially gen 3. Those sprites look so good, love the vibrant colours. I will never shiny hunt in any other gen
>>59622977bazed
>>59626453Switch releases have given me reason to build a little roster of forever gen 3 stuff.>>59626424Poyo
I wish getting Shiny Keldeo from Home didn't require me sinking hundreds of hours into fuck ass SwSh...
>>59626861It's actually not even that bad
>>59622855Yes, indeed
1700 deep into Null. Didn't bother doing the box trick so I'm mashing through this malasada nonsense. His Primarina sure loves malasada! Boy howdy it does! Golly gee!Might do the box thing if this drags on.
>>59626899I really don't want to buy SwSh nor sink time into it, it's also really tedious trying to get Pokemon who originate from said games in the GTS.
>>59626930Buy the game from Amazon. Make friends with someone who beat the game, transfer your fresh save to their system, then deposit their living dex to your game. Return the game to Amazon.
>>59626920I tried without the full boxes and it did grate me, totally worth it to pick it later from Aether even if RR Episode cockblocks you until you clear that. Less dialogue to smash at Aether makes for easier resets plus you are at endgame at that point so if you want to move and do something else besides SRs you can go and do them then return later
>>59626861All that for a mid shiny on a mid Pokemon
Another day another chance for Shiny Porygon at the GC
i want this in a heavy ball
>>59627067I just want to be able to shiny hunt things normally and cut down a bit with the event giveaways.
>>59627072Maybe on a newer gen for the Ruin guys, the only ones they seem to keep a tight leash are mythics so they can sell them through GO later
>>59627103Yeah pretty much, at least until they do actually put RSE on the Switch at some point. At least that'd be an out for doing that Masterwork Research stuff.
>>59627067I can't even fucking identify what this is
>>59627106mega charizard x but fish
>>59627109*Y
>>59626861I just did Home Origin dexes for Manaphy and Volcanian. I need to catch 30 more baby forms in Arceus to get shiny Enamerous but I just don't give a shit about a slightly different shade of the same colour for a Pokemon I have no attachment too, expecially when she'll probably be huntable in the BW remake.
>>59627211>BW remakeNever ever, that's not speculation either. ILCA's BDSP killed remakes as a concept.
>>59627258Gamefreak leaks said any potential BW remake would need more care out into it then BDSP so they are clearly open to the idea.
>hunting for shiny clobberpus/grapploct>pop the donut>shiny pancham>boot the backup save>try again >shiny pancham>backup save five more times>pancham>find another wormhole>shiny machoke>backup save>fucking pancham>machoke>pancham>machoke>panchamAm I missing something or does god just hate me?
>>59627709You're using a level 3 donut for the auto shiny, right? The first spawn will always be the shiny. Some wormhole maps have either semi-fixed spawns or groups that cannot spawn in a certain area for one reason or another. Pure conjecture, but I think certain larger pokemon or something have a larger area required for their given spawn. So, for instance, they would never spawn in the central square of the little sewer map but would spawn in the two big side rooms. Zero evidence for this besides my own experiences btw.
did like 15 tapu finis where my shinny doe
>>59627844Right here!
>>59627104They rewarded people with a non-shiny Celebi for FRLG, what's stopping them doing the same for RSE?
Pikachu shiny so free in ZA that I just hunted it on a whim before going to dinner. Only did it because the only way to have Mega Raichu not look like they resented being unable to make Mega Pikachu is to be a Shiny Raichu X.
>>59622855>All shinies in Luxury balls. No exceptions.Unless they are bred down.
>>59627909I meant the Mythicals slowly being added to the virtual console games, removing the need to do Masterwork Research that you need to buy at small windows of time on GO.
Might hunt a Cetoddle for one of these fellas. What's shiny hunting in Violet like?
>>59628308ez pz
>>59628308>What's shiny hunting in Violet like?on switch 1? painfulon switch 2? a walk in the park
Just got a shiny Poochyena in the DexNav tutorial encounter of Omega Ruby. Anyone know the odds of this happening? I'm pretty sure this isn't a full-odds shiny since the DexNav has a mechanism to make shinies appear more often, but I only had a search level of 1 when this encounter happened so the odds must have still been pretty low.
>>59628385If you weren't intentionally hunting for it, it's almost full odds yeah. As your chain number goes up, it can reach like 1/100 or more. Dexnav hunting can get pretty damn crazy.
>>59628425I've heard DexNav hunting can be really good, and I was probably gonna do it later in this playthrough. I just didn't expect to find a completely random shiny first. Lucky me!
>>59617384Sorry to hear that pal. I've done my fair share of hunting while watching movies & I always worry the same will happen to me when the resets start to blurr.
>>59628308Just started after I posted and already got a shiny Sneasel and Snorunt. Wow.
>>59628385That's a shitmon, this bot already got 194 shinies of ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQWyyI7JmTk
a bot got a shiny? shiver me fucking timbers
>>59628596yes, what a world we live ina fucking code in a computer got a shiny before logan fucking paul
>>59628560>>59628308And thar he blows. Quickest shiny hunt I've ever done.
CERULEDGE USE BITTER BLADE
>>59628634I would shid and fard while crying if I did that by accident.Good think telling it to go slaughter things is harmless, they bounce right off of shinies.
>>59628091>No exceptions.That means catching the derp in a Lux ball to then breed down.
>>59628671does it have a mark?
>>59628101Yeah, you're hopium addled thinking they're going to waste something as coveted as shiny Jirachi on a port job re-release when they gave a non-shiny myth for dex completion in FRLG. We'll likely be able to hunt shiny mew, but I can't see them giving out shiny Jirachi for RSE.You also ignore up to FRLG Celebi, all the myths they handed out for dex completion were shiny, because it's a lot more fucking easier to complete the dex in the modern games (and they don't want to "arbitrarily" lock out normalfags from shiny rewards. Normal cunts won't care about the re-releases, we got VC sales data to prove that one already).
>>59628831They're going to throw the 3DS GB ports on Switch eventually, because money is nice.
>>59628834>non sequitur interjection while ignoring the pointAnd shiny Mew won't be the reward for completing the Gen 1 dex. Just as shiny Celebi wasn't the hand-out for forcing kids to hunt them all down from Pokémon day on FRLG.Your ONLY way to get these fucks is paypig the equipment to shiny hunt it in Gen 3, paypig for the masterwork research (protip: don't if you're a solosperg who CANT get out for events and weekend special days, shitloads of solosperg filtergates in the research path) or buy the latest modern game where they decided to hand out shiny Jirachi for collecting everything available. In case you missed it, they keep a firm grip on these fuckers' shiny palettes because they're the "super special" fan interaction rewards.
>>59628849Okay, but money.
>>59628850Yeah. That's why you got to spend it to get the shiny myths. 20 quid clearly isn't enough to reward players with Pink Onion, won't be enough for Red Star.
>>59628853it's actually worth $5. they sold it last year.
>>59628874Yeah, in the side game. To get it off Game Freak, you'll need quite a bit more as $20 clearly wasn't enough for Pink Onion in a 24 year old re-release. :)
>>59628917so you think gf doesn't ok every go shiny mythical that can be transferred to real game?
>>59626648Didn't have a chance to continue this hunt until some minutes ago. 1570 SRs total, one less to go before Bank shutdown. Really tempted to go for that Cap Pika
>>59628941I hate this phone's camera
>>59628930Oh they do. But they don't let GO debut myth shiny forms and already told us how they're going to play the RSE reward, so you'll HAVE to pay Nintendo whatever the fuck a Switch 2 will cost you and have to pay Game Freak $70 for the new game which MAY have shiny jirachi for offer. But it's also likely it won't be the next game up and will instead be another. GO's likely going to hand out shiny Zeraora next year, due to Game Freak already officially releasing that to players.
>>59628941>>59628942
>>59628941Nice one! I'm 1900ish into Null now. I wasn't gonna do Pikachu, but I figure it's the most likely to be culled in a future re-release, so I probably should do it now.
>>59629202My current priority targets are shiny Celebi and Cap Chu. I have shiny Celebi from Gen 8 distro and from GO but would really like to top it off with a Crystal pink onion if possible. I like shiny Cap as well as a reminder of GF's oversight, it does seem like any future Cap Chus distributed will remain shiny locked so it's a "uselessly" cool shiny to have. I'm really debating if I should aim for Pika first then go for Celebi, hopefully I get Pika (not over odds) then a full Celebi focus. Something tells me if I try Celebi first I won't get either one before time is up so I'd prefer to nab at least Pikachu even if takes me until the last day before closure
>>59629516I missed the Jungle Celebi, but I have the one from Go. Still really want the Crystal one, but there's a non-zero chance it comes back in the future, so I won't sweat it too much.Agreed on the cap Pikachu thing, but that's partly why I'm drawn to it. It's shades of MissingNo. There are legit things that GF forgets to whitelist, but then there's a freak like this who stumbled and brute forced its way into being legal. That's kinda neat.
All caught in Scarlet within the last 1.5 weeks, Charm + Outbreak max KOs, no sandwiches of any kind
>>59629604cute cottonee and magnezone
>>59629604I got about 30 or so in SV just walking around in the span of a couple days. With the shiny charm there's just so many encounters you brute force the fuck out it
>>59629606oh fug the Magnezone was actually the only hatched one, and I did that a few weeks ago lol. its just at the top of the box bc I finally got around to evolving it. but thank you!
Ive been trying Sizzlipede on and
>>59629604What mark though?
>>59629811off for 2 years on route 3 but this is fine too
>>59628946lol
>>59629811Fruit by the foot bug
>>59629811dope ass bug
>>59629812Scarlet? what do you mean
>>59629976Scarlet, Violet, Sword, and Shield caught pokemon have a random chance to spawn with a personality mark giving them a title. Ribbons also give titles. It's in the third or fourth page of the summary for that pokemon. https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/marks.shtml
Does anyone else not use counters? It’s just annoying having to keep track of it. I usually shiny hunt while watching my kids and while I’d like to know how many times I’ve soft reseted the game it’s still annoying to do all of that while constantly updating the number on my phone.
>>59630241just do whatever you want, anon
>>59630241I used to but i started playing on my couch while watching TV and stopped counting.
>>59630241I don't like using them because then I feel like I expect it by a certain count or have more concrete evidence that I got fucked over by RNG, which makes the hunt much less enjoyable if it goes over odds in a big way. The exception is when it's a really long reset/time per encounter. Like I counted my Curry hunt.
I’m going for Type: Null on Ultra Sun, and was wondering if there were any other Pokemon on there that are unobtainable in the Switch titles.
>>59630761Poipole and if you are interested "shiny" Partner Cap Pikachu
>>59630761type nuill, poipole, shiny cap pikachu and alolan ratatta
it's over...>>59629811grats anon!
>>59630241I don't, I just hunt while I watch videos.
>>59630779You can trade for alolan rat in let's go, but it's probably easier to just SOS it
>>59630991can the lets go ratatta be shiny?
>>59630996Yeah all the lets go alolan forms can be shiny huntedJust catch a bunch of the required mon, trade em all, and reset if no shinyFull odds only and slow as balls, but it's doable
>>59631000does it get your OT tho?I think people recommend to get one in SM/USUM because the lets go one has another OT
>>59631003According to serebii they do not have your OT so if that matters to you get em in gen 7
>>59631033NPC OT and Pokeball only. Glad past me got a Fast Ball Alolan Raichu and a Level ball Shiny Alolan Raichu
shit i got my target so today doesn't matter
>>59631669Gimmie your luck then, got a shitload of full-odds 3DS and Switch hunts to do, I'll continue one if you give me what you got spare>Moon Type:Null>BD Giratina>SP Palkia>Sword Regigigas
>>59617381I just got one myself in LeafGreen on an actual cart in a luxury ball. I figured out I could just save state on my analogue pocket the second it appeared shiny. I only went in with 8 luxury balls lmao just kept resetting.Now to move it to colosseum to start it's ribbon master journey while I reset the game from the save state to catch extras for it's forms to move forward into home one at a time after form changing them so it doesn't detect them as the same mon and assigns them individual tracking ids lmao
>>59628819What about PLA?
how the fuck am i supposed to shiny hunt in hgss when pokémarts won't sell me luxury balllsthey're hoarding all the luxury balls so they can give them to fucking israel
>>59633214No choice there since anything you export becomes a Strange Ball
let him cook
