You only lose if you quit.What are you hunting?How's that going?Good luck anons.
I'm like 3x over odds or more for the SwSh sheep. I'm tired bros...
4th shiny while hunting Necrozma and second Magneton.
>>59652519Have you gotten a different shiny at all during that many encounters?
>>59652242You also lose a lot of your time even if you win.If you have a job that time is valuable.Even if you are a neet, you could have spent that time actually doing something fun.
>>59652561I hunt while watching TV.
>>59652242Currently shiny hunting Deoxys in LG Switch. Gonna trade it to GBA FR and ribbon master it and transfer up to Switch before February once that GBA Switch adapter comes out.Is there a way to skip the 'previously on your journey'? Like completely ignore it? It adds an extra second to each reset.
>>59652560Nope, I accidentally get into a battle with the birds from time to time but not a single shiny so far.This is probably the worst game in the series to shiny hunt without the charm on normal encounters, even the old 1/8192 games weren't this bad.
Purple onion fairy on crystal 3DSWondering if I need to introduce delays to my button presses because I don't know how fast seed number generation is for second generation emulated on a 3DS. Slowly going insane because soft rest times on this are so slow.
>>59652621>purple
Regice is next.
>>59652567No
hunting skarmory in emerald was originally just winging it because i wouldnt mind a slugma or spinda but i started doing magnet pull + repel trick I want that green bird
I am close to 10k SRs for the FireRed Deoxys Save me
Almost have a complete Scarlet and Violet living shiny dex with my OT. Still need rare ones like Totadile, Torchic, and Shelllos. I've been hunting for 2+ years and have day skipped tens of thousands times using two systems for efficiency, and have yet to see either of these outbreaks.I also plan on hunting a three segment dudunsparce. I can get about 3-5 dunsparce per sandwich in Area Zero with Switch 2 spawnrates. Its only a matter of time before one is a 3 seg.
Hoping this Dratini doesn't take too long because Lapras probably does.
>>59653215I'm only at 100
>>59652561>your time must be maximally efficient
>>59652653You got a problem?
>>59653245Are you making encounter power sandwiches before date skipping? No outbreak should take more than 2-3 hours to find if you do that.
>>59653746Absolutely. I'm making the right sandwichs, standing in the right areas, and using two systems to do co-op so one date skips and the other checks the map. There are just some spawns that never happen. I've yet to see a hisuian Basculin either, luckily the event helped me with that one.
Should I hunt all genders? I don't just mean forms, but every gender available for every Pokemon?
>>59654109do whatever you feel like doing
>>59654109That would mean getting all the annoying 12.5% and 25% ratios, plus 36 Vivillons. The rest aren't so bad though
I'm hunting Zorua in Go for the next couple of hours but I don't know if it has increased shiny odds or not
hunting flabebe (hopefully red flower) on X, if i get a combee i will riot
I can't decide which game to breed a shiny Charizard
>>59654444gen 4, clearly
>>59654444I did gen 6 so it could be pentaperfect.He's still by bro in Champions. Bred a second in SV a year ago so I had one that was Timid too.None of these stats matter anymore since bottlecaps, but it tickles my autism correctly.
>>596544448 is probably the most efficient to breed eggs timewise.
>>59654109Too much time>>59654140I kinda feel like they are going to give every Pokemon a gender variant one day. Kinda like Eevee recently got. Then again troons ruined gaming and they might just remove genders altogether to appease the lunatics.
The cold one will shine soon, I can feel it.
>>59655067Glastrier is shiny locked...
>>59655074the other cold one that isn'tWould also be depressing to shiny hunt the horse when Calyrex is probably all that defines its shininess in the future, kind of like Kyurem or Necrozma
>>59655078That is how it works. Also the best shiny of the three is base Spectrier. The Caly shinies are barely different.
If genie gave me a wish, i wouldn't wish for money or immortality. I would wish they would remove shiny locking Pokemons.
>>59655088Spectrier is like red colored right?Pretty cool looking.
>>59655094the hero we deserve
>>59655095Yeah. Meanwhile this is the CSR shiny
>>59655094I'd wish for something far worse. Allow marks on all legendaries like the 6 over world ones in Sword and Shield
I didn't just get this or anything but I got shiny Arceus after hunting for about an hour and a half
>>59655207Good job anon. Took me almost a month and I went like 1.7x over odds.
>shiny hunting Shaymin on Platinum>shiny hunting Colosseum bonus disc Wishmaker JirachiLevel with me lads, what are the odds I complete either of these before Bank shuts down? I've been at both of these for a couple of months now.
>>59655220cause all you gotta dois put your mind to itknuckle downbuckle downdo it do it do it
>>59655220You gotta pump up those resets man
>>59655220you gotta try until the last day, anonyou never knowand I should do it tooI'm procrastinating way too much these last few days
>>59655220i gave up on jirachi, too expensive. My only hope is a HOME reward for the eventual RSE release, otherwise, i guess i will forever have an incomplete collection.
I need a sanity check on the USUM gift pokemon RNG. There's nothing fucky with the Type: Null and Poipole resets is there? I know they're 4096 regardless of charm, but I went >4x over odds for Null and am currently approaching 4x over odds on Poipole (the very next one I started).
>>59655301I think the non shiny Celebi is a sure sign that if Jirachi is the gift for RSE it'll also just be the regular
>>59655319It be like that sometimes
>>59655319My first poipole took me less than 30 minutes of resetsMy second one is at around 30 hours and still isn't hereIt really be like that
>>59655325i am really really hoping it is shiny since celebi is just a concession given you cannot get celebi anywhere in the switch era, while jirachi is a freebie for having SWSH data.
>>59655220If it gets down to the wire you can manip Shaymin if you know your SID. Jirachi's gonna be a bit harder.
>>59655319
>>59655220I'm gonna try Jirachi and Manaphy legit, but I'm not above RNG and ACE if they're shutting Bank down on us. Jirachi should be more than doable though
>>59655378This event Celebi is a clone of a gen 3 JP distribution. If GF was really pressed about this, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves would be available.
>>59655106Maybe they'll add in a new mechanic in the gen where those get unlocked where he has 3 shinies, it just checks if the horse he fuses with is also shiny.
I will get every normal shiny in DA before Necrozma.
>>59656118you don't know how bad things can be
first phase on my birthday shiny
>>59656169Happy Birthday
>>59656169neat little guy. hbd!
>>59656173>>59656178thank you! im looking for bellossom with destiny mark but this little guy decided he was the main character first
>>59656169Happy birthday man
>>59652621good luck anon, I recently hunted shiny celebiiI wouldn't worry about the button presses, I reset as soon as it appeared green so you shouldn't worry about being too fast.oh also it's pink
>>59655220Wishmaker jirachi is rough. What is it, like 10 minutes between encounters?
>>59656263there's a method where you corrupt your save file so the resets a shorter (I think around 2-3 mins per reset)
>>59656270that is rough as fuck man, I'm glad I snagged a shiny event jirachi in gen 6.
>>59656272it's all about the journey, anonbut I don't blame people for not wanting to do it
>>59656274oh fuck that dude, that ain't a journey I wanna go on. Crystal Celebii was bad enough, I couldn't imagine the jirachi grind
>>59656272there was a shiny even jirachi in gen 6?>>59656274i did the channel jirachi instead
>>59656277Only in Japan. I have one of those as well. I'd be hurting myself for the bonus disc shiny without it.
>>59656281there was the go shiny jirachi you could pay for too i think
>>59656277>there was a shiny even jirachi in gen 6?There was in Japan and maybe somewhere else in Asia. Snagged it from a buddy who was stationed there.
>>59656299oh I also got a pokeball vivilon. Dunno if anyone still cares about vivilon patterns, but it's only been released once outside of Japan and I think 3 times ever. Probably my rarest Pokemon
>>59656301i have one too! i forget when it was released but i used to be obsessed with collecting them all
>>59656306yeah I'm sure one of these days they'll treat it like the fancy pattern and it won't be rare anymore, but until then it's a cool collection piece. I would like to make the entire collection but trading for all the patterns is a pain in the ass and I'm not gonna change the location on my 3DS 20 times to get them all
>>59656313>I'm not gonna change the location on my 3DS 20 times to get them alli did this and restarted so many times to get them all. i got most of them from gts trading so it didn't take that long to get the ones i was missing. i wish the pattern was genetic so you could breed them to get more or to shiny hunt a specific pattern easier
>>59656301That one is highly sought after, to this day. I brought mine into Champs to flex when the game released.Pokeball Pattern might be the rarest 'registrable' Pokemon. Obviously something like Wish Chansey is less common, but it doesn't check a box like forms do.
>>59656294Dang I missed that one. Only grabbed research for shiny Celebi and Diance
>>59656173>>59656178>>59656220i got the target birthday shiny!
>>59656376happy birthday!
>>59656376What was that, 5 runs between shinies? Big congrats!
>>59656169HBD, nice spicy leaf>>59652621I don't think seed number gen matters just go as fast possible. The absolute fastest you're gonna get those resets is 60 seconds if you have insane consistency so you're looking at max 60 resets/hour which means if you only are resetting on one console it would take you 12 hours a day which means in 10 days you would only be at 7200 encountersm. What im saying here is buy a second 3DS>>59656376Congrats!
>>59656384thank you!>>59656385i actually got 7 total shinies across 4 sandwiches but only two with the birthday mark>>59656391thank you!
Got this weird thing last night btw still resetting for dialga then I go for giratina
>>59656391Celebi VC reset is 30~ seconds dude.The longest conventional reset time goes to Arceus in BDSP which is around 55s on Switch 1 and 45s on Switch 2.
>>59656507Ancient Poni Path Null is quicker than BDSP Arceus?
>Traditional 1/8192 shiny odds>Completing the Pokedex rewards with the ONLY non-shiny Pokemon HOME reward>All of the legendary/one-time encounters can be caught much more easily in newer generationsDo these games serve any purpose in modern shiny hunting for owners of Sword + Shield and above?
>>59656572gameboy advanced mark is cool imo
>>59656572" [X] the Champion" and " [X] the 100x Victorious" ribbon titles.
>>59656572Deoxys is the big one. Shiny+GBA mark/title is the other. People like weird combos and points of origin.
>>59656573>gameboy advanced mark is cool imowhat mark?
>>59656582looks like a gba
>>59656588do all pokemon from FRLG get it?
>>59656596Yes, same as GB mark for Virtual Console titles
>>59656604huh, that's coolI read that pokemon transfered from gba games didn't get anything
>>59656606FRLG (2026) mons get the mark. FRLG (2004) do not.
>>59656610that sucks...
>>59656614Would be weird for my childhood 20+ year old mons to be marked when marks weren't introduced until I was an adult. But I get why people were hoping for parity between both versions of FRLG. Can't please everyone.
What are some cool hunts I can do in gens 3, 4, and 5? Ideally encounters so I can choose the pokeball type.
>>59656629Deoxys in e-Shop release of Fr/LG is the big one.
>>59656629roaming pokemon
>>59656573>>59656588I'm not much of a ribbon or mark person, but that GBA mark is pretty cool. That mark on a shiny Celebi in a Cherish Ball would have been the best HOME Pokedex completion reward. Original Magearna is nice but something about it doesn't motivate me to go on that completion journey.
Since anons are talking about Jirachi, I have a shiny Bonus Disk and a shiny Channel Jirachi I can trade if anyone can help me finally get a shiny Partner Cap Pikachu.
>>59656629i like safari zone encounters in gen 3 but you can do double encounters in the dark grass in gen 5 or in areas of gen 4 where you have a trainer you team up with
>>59656653Dude it's a permanently active QR eventCharm doesn't effect it so you don't even need a completed saveJust get it yourself
>>59656572Where else can you shiny hunt Deoxys?
>>59657139Only Go, subject to event availability. That's it. Before Go it was exclusive to the FRLG in-person event.
>>59656828I don't have a 3DS anymore. So I'll to trade for it.
>go over double odds while MMing>decide to do anything else>get a shiny you don't even wantEvery. Time.
2 weeks max
Standing in the odds
So every poketuber is just injecting ribbon champions (that are also shiny) straight into colosseum and then just pretending right?I found the AR codes in an old forum last night you can replace the gift celebi/jirachi with literally anything and there were preconfigured codes for some popular ribbon masters like sneasel.
>>59656572They make my penis the big e-peen when I find one.
>>59656572Maybe all the ACE exploitshttps://youtu.be/fK4jxsuvAsk
Uhh dude did you just post GLITCHES and CHEATS?
No rules in the threadNo moderation on the boardWestern seaboard about to wake upOh yeahIts gamin' time
>>59656572I was hoping for shiny mew completion.Seems as though RSE aren't releasing either, so no event Mew hunt.
>>59658330ABP was doing resets on like 8 GameCubes for his Shiny Absol like the mad lad that he is. If you learn rng manip getting a majority of the shiny shadows in colo is pretty trivial
>>59658489Looking forward to the ribbon movie
look at this guy
>>59658494Same dude I need Absol to stream more of the grind and I need John to get his stupid electabuzz and stream again
>repel trick for nidorino in safari zone>only 6 encounters in 200 steps>overall less than 50 per safari runthis is going to take decades, should i just try without a repel trick?
>>59658549I would tell you to use a white flute but you can't get it on the switch version yetbut try to use a staryu/starmie with illuminate
>>59658551I was somehow convinced illuminate only worked on emerald onwards, however i am playing fire red so i guess that is not an option for me until next weekend mayve
>>59658330It's actually pretty easy to do a ribbon master once you've already done it once (which most poketubers have). The biggest problems are specifically the berries for gen 3 contests and blending, which is just time consuming and requires either grinding the shit out of colosseum or having a working battery or both. You can easily do everything else in a month if you're prepared. Most of those people are gonna do it for content anyways and just hacking one in robs your channel of that. Now pros, well...
pray for methe target's shiny sucks and I'm lacking in perseverance.
>>59656572Literally only bought it to shiny hunt Deoxys.
>>59658856this + starter and now full team
>>59658805Honestly imo the hardest part is the gen 4 battle tower. It is such a miserable and long grind that has sooooo many points determined by luck. Gen 3 berry blending is really simple even if you don't have GameCube/event berries and there are very reliable setups to get your stats as high as you need. Gen 4 contests are also a bit of a pain if you suck at rhythm games or didn't optimize your contest stats properly in gen 3
>>59659253Once you get a good Garchomp or have one ready to go from prior runs, I think gen 4 isn't nearly as bad as it could be. Sub Suicune and Scarf/LO Chomp (and Zapdos for doubles) cleared everything up to the ribbon matches really consistently for me. Of course you can still get quick claw Fissure'd, but it's not as common if you only need 50 wins as people make it out to be. I did end up using the set display website thing, which I think is considered cheap for the current record administration, but I didn't want to get surprised by a random ice beam. I did play on Diamond specifically because I knew it would be easier, though. The thing that got me a few times was Cress critting a bit too much to handle.
>>59658805Yeah its totally a coincidence that their editing is shite and that they keep picking from the list of shinies that were posted from the forumIm drunk and pissed off ill post the shit later
>>59659337There's only like 5 shinies that can even be full ribbon masters. I bet the list is literally just them.
>22 Legendary targets from wormholesWell shit. I did not think I had this many. At least I have two Nulls/Poipole, Ash-Pikachu, Celebi and Alolan rats so missing nothing exclusive. But man I hate DA.
>>59659401Dude they're so fast you got 1/1300 odds you'll get them in like a week on average
officially over odds for shiny flabebe, i swear to god if i phase i will call this over and go back to safari hunting
>>59659418Speaking of
can you redo Permutations if you finish all variants?
>>59659557yeah
>>59659657Ok because I did the first 25 twice and seem to be the same (No alphas in the first set in any). Laving means to fly away, but before the new spawn? It's hard to do when I'm still spotted
>>59659896shit you mean like get different ones, no
>>59659907Wasn't the point that if you KO/catch the first 4 the rest would be random?
update from the last few days
Going to have to start a new profile to hunt Regieleki.Regidrago is next. Really started this hunt because I wanted to hunt Necrozma.
>Ko then catch> The next one is invisible and not attacking>Fly as far as possible>the flag is not on the map, but go to where it says on the field>eye finally fades>teleport back to hopefully refresh the missing dewott's position> catch it>After 80 roundsThis felt like a cheat code glitch. At least this tells me that teleporting/leave area refreshes the spawn pool
Come to think of it, I managed to hunt all three regis in just 10 days.Average resets to shiny was 2600~I hope you anons have that much good fortune in your hunts.
>>59652242cocoa pebbles
>>59660667Very nice. I like the blue on shiny regice, people like to call it a "bad shiny" but to be totally fair it's never actually changed, it's actually the regular colorations that changed between generations 4 and 5.
>>59660667This thing used to be a low key beast
>>59660923I am on month 3 of hunting Arcues
I accidentally deleted my Sapphire save while resetting for the Channel Jirachi :)
>Check out non /vp/ Pokemon forums and shit>See people unironically bitch about how only GO stamped shinies are worth anything in trades and member trust level is a huge factor for not knowing if something is hacked.I don't get it, why would you care about shinies you didn't get yourself?
So, Bank shuts down the day before Pokemon Day. Coincidence? Or is GF planning something that would make Bank irrelevant or otherwise troublesome to keep around?
>>59661547how many times you need to be taught this lesson, old man?
>>59661548Now that I think about it, maybe it's just to try and avoid bad press since it'll be drowned out by WiWa news.
>>59661547$20 Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire for Nintendo Switch (not Emerald)
>>59661445The only time i ever bothered trading shinies was to give away my extras on ZA for rare balls before the dlc droppedFleeced multiple tards out of their master balls
4547 REs, thank god it was a red flower flabebe, time to continue with the hunt and move to honedge
>>59661617i'll buy both even if they add nothing new because i love gen 3
>>59661442How many resets per day?
I'll never forgive ILCA
>>59661830Why did you breed for it on BDSP>>59661617Emerald comes six months later for $25
>>596618131-2 hours per day, don't count resets.
>>59661913You're getting like 70-80 resets per hour if you're efficient on Switch 2. That would take you almost a month hit odds if you're truly doing that every day.Good luck, I did between 300-500 resets per day. Arceus still took nearly 2x over odds.
>>59661830>lucked out and stumbled upon a shiny one in ORAS a couple years agoNever even learned about BDSP's Spinda retardation until it became a hot topic with the Bank shutdown. How does something like even happen, much less go unpatched in the era of internet devices?
>>59661969is this your first taste of GF's incompetence?
>>59661973ILCA's*
>>59661975GF is in charge of home tho
>>59661969Gamefreak is autistic enough that they would rather leave Spinda hanging then retcon the spots for the 3 people that got one day 1 in BDSP.
>>59661977ILCA fucked up the coding for spimnda's transfer worm.
>>59661981even a spinda from pokemon go can't be transfered to home, anonit's not something exclusive to BDSP
>>59661977
>>59661980I really can't wait for it to show up in WW for no other reason but "hurr, tropical region" because aside form XY, it's only shown up in tropical regions.And of course be yet another highlight example of "pokémon /vp/'s collective impotent seethe targets only for it to show up the next Gen to teabag the bitches".
>>59661911to complete my shiny living dex i transferred up from bank years agothe recent bank news reminded me
>>59661984Yeah, because they're "set" spinda, there's only 9 patterns and oddly enough, Game Freak don't want to have to go to the arse of ensuring they keep their patterns (especially when one was a specific Valentine's day event with a heart-shape pattern). My shiny Spinda from USM will be able to go in though, as well as every example of the useless mememon I caught over the years to boot, because they're generated in games done by Game Freak instead of made by whos to a Game Freak template.
>>59661987>>59661997I still think GF is the in charge of fixing this type of shit or telling ILCA to do itso in the end, it's still down to GF's incompetence
>>59662001It's neither, it's the fact Game Freak weren't fucked with a remake, BDSP was meant as a burner because they were due a remake and because Game Freak had legends cooking and dropping 3 months after BDSP. And because it's a burner and they EXPECTED to launch WW in '26, no-one was bothered fixing it.
>>59661755i cant tell if this is shiny lmao
