I'm in the mood to shiny hunt for Mimikyu and Gengar for Halloween but I don't know if I should hunt in Sword, Scarlet, or ZA.
>>59687513MM in sword
>>59687680One in each
I have no reason to buy BDSP for good considering I cant even get the limited event Pokemon. Why GF?
i'm gonna say the R-word
>>59687732You can still get your llama.
RNGs a mirage spot in your thread
ANON NO!
>>59687772Opens a time space distortion in your bathroom
>>59687823Dunno why you want to send my feces straight to your future, but if that makes you happy, go for it.
Anyone hunted regieleki yet?
there's always one retard that comes into this thread thinking his rng shinies are welcomed
>>59687884>anti rng schizo freaking out oonwyou lost
>>59687742I bought SP for that, Shiny Manaphy from Home, and the new ribbon.
>>59687848Everyone, years ago.
>>59688003you aren't going to at least share yours then?
>>59688008Maybe in the other thread. This one's ass.
>rerolling for donutsSomeone please kill me
I hate reseting for Regice because I have to actually pay attention
>Want square shiny Unovan Darmanitan>DexNav on Mirage Islands is by far the easiest method, most shinies will be square>Correct Mirage Island will never appearIT'S BEEN A MONTH REEEEE
>>59688181I know that feel, very recently actually.
I wanted to start a Ribbon Master, but didn't want to commit to a Gen 3/4 ribbon quest while I was really busy, so I horde hunted a Shuppet in Gen 6. Currently in Gen 7 getting the Battle Tree ribbons.
>>59688020Well I don't believe you did it in the first place then.
>decide to restart Sword>don't feel like playing itHow bad is MM without shiny charm? Is it better to MM in SV?
>>59688633Definitely do it in SwSh.I think it's still like 1/683 without the charm, so still pretty good odds and you can hatch and collect eggs like a conveyor in gen 8.
>shiny salandit 20 sos calls in>it's malefuck you fuck you fuck you never clicked kill so fast
>>59688687You are running cute charm I assume? Otherwise PEBCAC and you deserve it.
>>59688716>cute charmdoesn't work with sos battles
>>59688771it literally does
Spent an hour fast traveling to Wild Zone 20 and I haven't found a single shiny. I feel like I got ripped off for buying ZA.
>>59688716>>59688785If it does I don't see any documentation sites like Bulbapedia that prove it does
shiny salazzle is a fucking uggo
>>59689497Well there's no accounting for taste
>>59688964Wild Zone 20 isn't really worth it anymore after they patched out spawner overloading. Not to mention, fast traveling never did shit for Wild Zone 20 since the center is too far away to trigger spawns, you'll need to use one of the benches inside for that. Otherwise you're just hitting the few shitters near the fast travel point, which also became a shit place to hunt anything after overloading died.No point in bothering with base game resets when you can just use donuts in the dlc anyway.
>>59688771>>59689414To activate it, your cute charmer needs to be the acvtive battler. When I hunted shiny salandit in Gen 7, I set my chain up before swapping in my male Sylveon and using that to KO the spares. Gotta use your head too, poison's SE vs Fairy and even 30+ levels higher fairies still get melted by their poison attacks if you're not watching. But otherwise, it's in-battle, the next one up's going to be a 66% chance of being a girl.Let me guess, you were trying that gay little "fainted lead" trick as you thought it worked for one, it must work for all.
>>59689532Godammit I didn't want to reroll for donuts but I guess I have no choice
>>59689532It's fun because it's like gambling, you never know what you are going to get.
>>59689565It's still easier to reroll for donuts than to hunt in zone 20 without the ability to get 6 alphas in the center or isolate some of the side spawners so they only spawn your target.Not only that, the act of getting shiny alphas or tiny mons is way easier. Charmander really did take almost 20k encounters in zone 20.
>>59689556>But otherwise, it's in-battle, the next one up's going to be a 66% chance of being a girlDo you have any documentation proving that this works for SOS encounters?>Let me guess, you were trying that gay little "fainted lead" trick as you thought it worked for one, it must work for all.No need to get hostile, retard. I'm not using cute charm because as far i can tell it doesn't work for SOS encounters. You saying it does is not proof enough for me
>>59689574My guaranteed off a sparkling 3 normal and alpha 2 donut the other day was a Kangha which is cool but I already have one from za... I did do fast travel resets until I got a pidgeotto which was cool but it wasn't alpha sadly
Is it possible to roll for a sparkling 3 all type and alpha 2 donut? I've been spending hours trying to get the right donut.
>>59690258I have no clue, but why would you even need that? The eeveelution portal?
>>59689590So my initial assessment was correct, PEBCAC. Despite both a quick google and a chanfag telling you it does work, you decided to not only ignore that, but not bother your hole even testing it for yourself to even see.I'll act however the fuck I want to children who want everything spoonfed to them and don't even have the decency to test things out for themselves, as it highlights JUST how uncurious a mind they have. Want to know the kicker? When I went to hunt my little girlie, I got the HA when I wanted the normal one for a UM playthrough, so hunted again. Where I got the girl again, only with the right ability the second time.
>Oh yeah, the swords are affected by the charm in the crown tundra, may as well hunt them again2500 resets later and still lacking Virizion. I deserve this, I have enjoyed exceptional luck prior.
>>59690772Look I can admit when I'm wrong but if this is how you react to these sorts of things I hope you get some more fulfillment and joy in your life friend
>>59690819I do, thanks for assuming I don't because the man was mean to the little kid online. Grow a skin, or else fuck off back to plebit or arsebook or twatter or whatever normie bullshit hugbox you need to feel validated online.But they're only going to tell you in the most highly passive-aggressive way possible something along the lines of what I did above if you tell them you didn't even try what they told you. I'm at least honest enough to call shit as I see it.
today is teh day
You will never reach truth
Is a sparkling 2 donut good enough?
>>59691523you don't really need any sparkling really you want alpha 3 if you only want alphas of course
>>59691524Oh thank god, that was also in the donut
Shinies don't despawn in ZA, right? I found two shiny Gible but they weren't alpha.
>>59691627They don't.
>Vivillon event on ZASucks that they will never give the pokeball one the chance to be shiny...>>59691627From what I remember the requirements for them to despawn are really difficult to meet.>you need to have 10 shiny pokemons spawned on the map>the next shiny that appears will despawn the first one of those 10
i hate when i have to choose between balltism or egg moves for a pre-gen 6 shiny
quick goon and back to soft resetting
you have two hands, you can have both
>>59691860I don't recommend thisI did it once and I failed the shiny...
>>59691627The multi-size pumpkins don't save, but everything else does.
>>59691627They don't despawn generally but they can run away still so if you're hunting a runner like Froakie or Fennekin be careful
I think I fucked up using a sparkling 1 donut but I'm tired of rerolling
Can Alpha Pumpkaboos have different sizes anons? Might go back to ZA if so to grind for a Jumbo Alpha.
>>59691518ugly
>>59691984They can, but there's some funny shit with permanent Alpha spawns, think they are locked to Medium
I got this one off my list with only a 300 chain DexNaving on Mirage Island. It was a refreshing hunt after spending the past few days in the MM mines going for a shiny Espurr with nothing to show for it.
Learned how to do wild RNG in HGSS for the Unown forms before Bank shuts down, it's more fun to do than I thought. The initial setup is miserable but it's easy once you get the hang of it.
>>59691651>you need to have 10 shiny pokemons spawned on the mapSo if I catch a shiny, I can keep warping/fast travel in hyperspace until another shiny appears and restart from my last save when time runs out?
>think of getting a shiny medicham>all this time i thought medicham had two standard abilities. pure power and some cucked bullshit
>>59692663The 10 shiny pokemons are mostly for pokemons on the city. The ones on hyperspace don't have anything to do with them.Spamming fast travel on hyperspace is only good if you get a bad map because the game autosaves every time you fast travel, so you won't get your time back.I got my full shiny dex there mostly by finding hyperspace maps that had teleports that go far enough to spawn and despawn pokemons. This way you can save, non stop teleport, and load the save if you don't get what you want before the times runs out.Also, if you find a map with good teleports but with pokemon spawns on the wrong spot, you can load your backup save to reenter the same hyperspace to change the spawn spots until you get them where you want This is pretty good if you are going for a specific pokemons like a shiny Alpha or shiny XS.
Do types for sparkling power matter at all?I rolled a sparkling power 3 normal and alpha 3 donut but I want to hunt for a shiny Charmander this time.
>>59692829Yes, only that type gets the shiny boost
>>59691863When you reclaimed your Giratina, did you reclaim your semen too?
>>59692851huh, surprised someone remembersand no, that semen was gone forever
>>59692858the thread has a long memory, shame about the semen
eggs...
>>59692498After hunting for a few hours, just noticed that hyperspace ones are always medium This sucks.
been leaving comments that say shit like 'wait a second, how is this full odds if you have 10 game boys? thats like 10x faster than full odds, am i missing something?' on multi-hunter youtube videos pretending to be a casual observer with no knowledge of the social landscape as a whole and theyve been getting a lot of very angry replies
>>59693897hero we don't deserve
>>59693897delightfully devilish
>>59693897Based and single-huntpilled
>>59693925>>59693941>>59693954any other ideas? happy to employ any
>>59693897Holy based
>>59693897this kills the absolblogs
>Terrakion shines>it's jollyAlright, sub legendaries in Champions now please.
my favorite part is they somehow dont see how using 10 gameboys makes it 10x easier and get unironically angry at me lol. i dont even shiny hunt btw, i inject shinies i like in to my games cause i like what they look like
>>59694087Why him specifically? He's very chill as far as shiny hunters go, he just did an rng hunt like a week ago
>>59694198Sounds like an even better reason to continue.
>>59694198don’t get me wrong i’m sure these are all nice people i am just trolling to troll
you can say hunting with multiple consoles increases the odds but as someone who has done that, I have to disagreeyeah, sure you can get very lucky and get shinies fast but other times you can spend weeks without seeing anything and you wonder if your games have stop working for some reason...
>>59694227i respect the hustle
>>59694205The whole point of the "multi hunting is cheating" thing falls flat if you're not dealing with the retard "full odds no rng" elitist autists>>59694227You kids these days don't know anything about rolling and trolling, you don't indiscriminately pretend to be retarded that's how you make a fool of yourself. You pick a person or small group that will act out and tailor the act to them
>>59694240I don't care one way or the other, it's all expense, setup, and even tedium if you are on original hardware without some kind of macro.Definitionally it doesn't increase odds, it just multiplies the number of encounters which does reduce time till a target shines.
>>59694261these guys hunting with 10+ consoles are using modded ones, with capture cards and a new mod that let you control multiple consoles with one controllerthese mods are expensive as fuck and I have no way to buy them so I do it the old school wayI was lucky to be able to buy multiple gba sp, dsi and games in 2014 when the prices weren't as bad as they're now
>>59694257> You kids these days don't know anything about rolling and trolling, you don't indiscriminately pretend to be retarded that's how you make a fool of yourself. You pick a person or small group that will act out and tailor the act to themthats exactly what im doing. maybe you cant read
>>59694257He fucking got you, perfectly tailored trolling for some dipshit on 4chan lmao
wait are some of you legit arguing that using 10+ consoles at once is not advantageous lol
>>59694320Time advantage, sure.
>>59694324the whole point is they are rare because of the time it takes isnt it
mr. moneybags over here with his ten-3DS hunting lab
These discussions are so amusing. Just a bunch of incorrect ideologues arguing over each other. Here's the first and only correct post on the matter. You don't deserve any elaboration.
youre welcome to shiny hunt however you want but why are they stretching the definition of "full odds" to mean something that isnt full odds, it doesnt matter so why be so dishonest
>>59694361Because autism. They have to fit it into the category, even if it communicates nothin of value."GB save file played in Dodrio mode on emulator" conveys all the important information to another human being, but it doesn't have a box. That's why these arguments are pointless. Because maladaptive autists are gleeful in their inability to bridge the gap to normal human beings.
fuck that absol faggot i would beat him up irl
absol? cut that anon in half.
just got a full odds shiny sentret on gamecube number 31. this accomplishment is exactly as valuable as someone who did it on one console
>>59694391the accomplishment of the sentret
This thread moves faster when you guys are fightingGot my 2rd shiny alpha Pumpkaboo in ZA, unfortunately no jumbo
>>59694406is that full odds
>>59694334Shiny value is entirely what you place it at.I value the shinies I hunted quite a bit, but if someone gave me one it's likely to go on the gts for something that I forgot I didn't have a pre evo for.
>>59694406Does the alpha get max hp?
>>596944064chan autism battles build strong shinyfags
just got a full odds shiny mankey in one soft reset because im running 8,000 emulators at once
>>59694434wow you're so lucky!I'm running 10000 emulators and didn't get anything!
>>59694441well, it is full odds so it may take some time
4chan shiny hunters are more sporting than other shiny hunters
>>59694424don't think so since the alphas also have 4 different sizes
bluevactor you fucking gay faggot come here
>>59694478Oh shit they do?
>>59694497pic isn't mine but yeah
>sparkling power 3>only found 4 shinies so farThis shit sucks
Swept my team so had to Master Ball it in lieu of Heal Ball. Quagsire has Haze, Yawn, Unaware and its 4x grass weakness means nothing to the other two so will train one up.
>>59695348I let the first Virizion shiny I found die since I couldn't get it in the ball I wanted while it was hailing.They're short hunts and I don't like masterballs.
>>59695358I plan to replay the game eventually for Regieleki and Luxary ball Calrex so maybe I'll care to hunt it again then.
>>59695364I need to get the Regieleki hunt setup, but that involves replaying gen 8 which is the king of slog. It's the last of the regis that I need now as I hunted all the others on this profile.
This will be my home for the foreseeable future. The target is a Master Ball Abra for ribbon autism reasons before bank shuts down. I'm not even going to count the number of encounters.
>sparkling 2 poison alpha 2 donutWill I be able to get a shalpha Gengar?
>>59696118Good luck anonIve been going for master ball abra myself in firered for a very long time now
Been hatching eggs with shiny charm and MM in Gen V. Currently nearly double over odds, marbles starting to be lost.
>>59696298Why Gen V? Regionaltism? Gen 3 and 4 at least have exclusive ribbons.
>>59696303Because the I'm trying to hatch a Gen V pokemon? Plus I enjoy full random encounters in older gens, if I'm gonna hatch for pokemon I would rather have better odds unlike the odds you can get in Gen 3-4
yissssssssss
Quick one, now just Cobalion, then Great Ball Keldeo since Dive Ball one in ZA then endless Dynamax Adventures.Fuck man, I may have to grind for the Home Keldeo.
>>59696573I think we started at nearly the same time. I got Coballion like 3 hours ago to finish them.After the mind numbing regi hunts, these were very fast. I'm going to try to finish a SwSh run and Pokedex by tomorrow night so I can do Regieleki.
>>59696244Okay fuck this, I can't get shit with this donut. I got to reroll another one.
Does anyone know how the egg process works? In gen 5 for example, is the egg generated when the day-care worker holds it or when you take possession of it? Looking to optimize some shiny hunting, and I don't want to miss out on a shiny if I start SRing after I fill the PC.
may as well post them anyway, these were pretty easy hunts
>>59696999>when the day-care worker holds itthis
why do cobalion, terrakion and verizon hate humans so much
>>59697225dunnowhat does this one think of humans?
week 2 of SR for tyrunt, i didn't keep track on the SRs and i suspect i went over odds
>>59696245Thanks, I did encounters for about 9 hours on the side today without seeing anything. Not that I expected to get anything this early and it wasn't the most effective hunting but yeah.Good luck to you as well if you decide to continue with it. I only have Ruby around anymore as far as Gen3 goes so that'll be the one where it has to happen.
I want to hunt shinies.What do I need to get?
>>59697295a console and a pokemon game
>>59697295What's the first mon you want to hunt?
>>59697295What games you got, what kind of odds would you accept, what methods appeal most to you? I mean, shiny hunting's as easy and as tedious as running in any patch of grass in any Gen 2+ game (or picnic resetting spawns in Gen 9) continuously until the game spits out one (I found a slew as incidentals masuda breeding in Gen 8 from triggering battles acctidentally), but SOS hunting in Gen 7's probably my favourite, breeding in Gen 8 is the best-in-series IMO (seed re-rolls each time you boot up the game or swap pokés, eggs aren't generated until you pick them up from the daycare) and sandwiches are better than doughnuts, even if doughnuts gaurantee a shiny at lv. 3.So lad, what's your poison?
>>59697267Its been a sometimes on mostly off hunt for the past 3 yearsSave file has gone up around 60 hours since I started but I detoured to the safari zone for a bit (without phasing)Im not in a rush to get it tho cause I dont plan on taking it out of gen 3
>>59697306Im not sure. Im spoiled for choice. I might try to get latios and latias and the swords in ZA for starters >>59697308I have Shield, Violet, Arceus and ZA. I have stanky old mostly completed save files on those. I've considered buying the alternate versions to the ones I have to get all the box legendaries and urshifus and what not for champions eventually.
>>59697319Those are good places to start, there's a little finesse for Latios because of where you must save and you need to reset.Virizion is a little weird too because you won't actually be able to see it when distance resetting.
Anything I should know before starting BDSP anons? All I know is that I shouldn't update the game because of the Shaymin glitch.
>>59698327Spinda can't go in or out, you can get Mew and Jirachi if you have Let's Pee/SS saves, shiny charm only affects breeding.
Should I catch a shiny Dratini in a heal ball or dream ball?
>>59698345Dream/Love if its not evolving to dragoniteFriend/Safari it it isDive/Beast if youre gonna use the mega
>>59698327Is your copy on the middle patch?It doesn't work on a 1.0 copy.
>>59698345Friend ball, Dive if Mega build
Not shiny related, but given it probably scratches the same peoples' brains - is anyone going to try for a full set of ZA origin Vivillon?I think I will try to get 2 of each to complete the Spewpa forms as well
>>59698332Mew and Jirachi with apricorn balls will be cool to have>>59698368No idea, it will only get here by Wednesday, but this would suck.
>>59698443You get Mew and Jirachi on regular balls
>>59698483GF really hates fun...
>>59697325I will be able to get shiny volcanion there too actually come to think of it.
I have started the regieleki hunt.Maybe this one will be fast!
Is it normal to get 6-7 shinies with a sparkling level 3 donut?
>>59698768Yeah, that's not too uncommon. Especially if you're doing nothing but teleporting to reset spawners.
>>59698768Yep, think about how many encounters you can distance or spawner reset in 5-10m.The odds in ZA with the charm are hugely stacked in your favor.
anyone get any good shinies with a halloween caught/met date
>>59698999I'm a day late but I finally caught a shalpha Gengar in ZA. That shit took way too long but it was worth it because I don't know anybody to help me evolve a Haunter.
>>59698999Actually yes, found a shiny Flabébé late halloween night (thought it was already 1st Nov when I found her).
>>59698999Cobalion, but it's not Halloween themed.
Reclaimed my shiny Celebi. Took the opportunity to get the ribbons for it before sending it over to Home.
>can't catch shiny Beldum with a heavy ballFUCKWhich other ball would be good for it?
>>59699407Quick and Net are cool for their X pattern but not as cool as Heavy>>59699405Congrats!
Porygon hates me
>>59699405>Reclaimedwh-what happened to the first
>>59699407Premier.
>>59699773Anon ated it :(
>>59699794Yummi onion >:)
Did they ever fix the glitch for shiny hunting Mimikyu in ZA?
>>59700008remind me again what glitch
>>59700008No, it still can disappear.Just catch it 1st try.
>>59700009It disappears after failing to catch it. Resetting doesn't bring it back.
>>59700008>>59700027Guess Mimikyu is my next MM since I'm fucking sick of Dynamax Adventures.
>>59700188I would never use DA for hunting anything other than the legendaries. I got a shiny Mimikyu there as a bonus, but I would never intentionally hunt any of the den route mons.
>>59698403I tried doing this today>7 pulls>30 min resets >2 monsoons alreadyI think it may defeat me
>>59699773I got careless while moving save files around and I lost my Switch Pokemon saves along with most of my collection. I wasn't too beat up over it, but I really missed my Celebi and Banette. Reclaimed both this October.
Holy based
fry lillie like an egg pikaman
>>59700418>>59700419Pee squid
>>59700224Yeah no, not bothering doing this. Good luck with your gacha anon
>>59700212I have the same mentality but I was going for a shiny Mimikyu for how often I catch it while hunting Rayquaza. Rayquaza taking so fucking long that I have to keep taking breaks for other shinies.
RNGesus finally smiled upon me after three months and who the fuck knows how many resets. Got this plus a handful of Gen 7 SOS hunts over the past week or so. With Shaymin caught, Wishmaker Jirachi is that last pre-Switch exclusive I need.
>>59700607Good luck anon, hope it happens quickly.
You can re battle the legendaries in bdsp by fighting the elite 4, right?I just need to see uxie and azelf for the national dex, but I don't feel like trying to shiny hunt them right now.
I still don't get the hate for breeding in Gen IX. I can relax and watch something while I stock up on eggs.
maybe next week
>>59701262For people who did an exceptional amount in Gen 6-8, especially in ORAS with that endgame Island, Gen 9 feels extremely inefficient by makinh collecting and hatching 2 separate steps.You can't even afk the collecting because the basket has a cap on how many it holds, the rate at which you get eggs is random too (aided by sandwich) so some checks of equal time yield 2 eggs while others will yield 8.
>>59702194Eggs should yield at a fixed rate but yeah you do need to check when the basket gets full
>>59702206The rate isn't fixed, that's just an average.You could get more or fewer eggs in a given time depending on whether you rolled more "yes egg" or "no egg" when the game checks.
>>59700782>net ballEwww why?
Today is the day Regice shines.
>>59702311I believe in you. Are you in the anon hunting in tundra?
I did mine a couple weeks ago.
>>59702318No, I'm in Ultra Wormhole hell.
>>59700911Hailing at Cobalion so back on Fug for now.
>>59702347Do you know if you need the OG trio to be from the same save to get Eleiki/Draco? I'll make a new save for Shield soon enough to catch Eleiki and wondering if I can just use my main save Regi's to unlock the ruins and leave the new ones open to hunt later.
Kinda unexpected. I was just catching some pokemons randomly to start working on my dex for the shiny charm.Last time I got a random full odds shiny was probably in XY from a horde battle which means it wasn't really full odds
>>59702676Those are always some of the coolest ones
>>59702677Yeah, also glad I got it on the Lure Ball you get from the water gym.
>>59702676Ur crab is sick :(
Give it up for week 3 of rolling 5 Star Hyperspace zones for Ghost type so I can shiny hunt a Gimmighoul.. this shit is taking forever. On the plus side I was able to get pic related and Terrakion too
>>59702427Kept ya watching huh
>>59702753>>59702735grats!>week 3 of rolling 5 Star Hyperspace zones Took me 3 months to get the one with fossils for the Alpha Aerodactyl, wasn't doing it every day though.
>>59702430I think it does only unlock from that save's regis. You may as well try another save's regis.
I caught a Moon Ball Drakloak so I take a break from Dynamax Adventures for Masuda's wild ride
