So I know everyone is not into shiny hunting but I'm 1700 SR and still no luck. I also have shiny charm.
>>25691827
Just inject it.
>>25691833
:^)
>>25691827
I don't have a shiny charm, but I got myself a shiny Suicune just the other day doing the same thing you're doing OP, except I was resetting for IV's.
I didn't count how many it took though. I was soft-resetting for a couple days straight, so maybe 500+
I'm currently breeding for a shiny sneasel, 1200+ MM
>>25691864
Did you catch it or reset?
>>25691864
Nice job man consider yourself lucky. If I counted the soft resets I've done for IVs on all mirage spot legendary pokemon I'm setting at about 3000 resets with charm and no shiny, I get lucky in horde and dexnav but fuck SR.
>>25691893
I caught it and looked at the stats. I actually lucked out, winning the Synchronize coin toss for a Bold nature, and also got max IV's in HP/Def/SpA, with 30IV in SpD.
The SpD being 1 away from flawless tickled my autism, but I still have one more Suicune to catch in Alpha Sapphire if I really want to go for 5IV's.
>>25691833
I have nothing against injecting but it takes away from the shiny experience for me...Give me another 3000 SRs and my opions may change lthough
>>25691893
Wish you luck
>>25691909
>3000 resets
Holy fuck anon
Where's your sex life?
>>25692091
Lol not in one setting been trying now for week
>>25691827
Took me 5k+ SR for my shiny Latias with Shiny Charm. Shit got stressful toward the end.
Good Luck with the Suicune tho
>>25692169
Damn at least you got it
>>25692186
The payoff was worth it, but i'll be damned if i try to SR anything soon.
>>25692215
I'll bet I will take a break from SR after this as well
>>25691930
thats crazy man, nice!
>>25691979
thx m8 you too
I want you to know I could export my save, run it in PKHeX on my laptop, make a shiny ORAS suicune, pentagon, 6IV, pre-EV trained, battle ready, import my save back, and use my new suicune in like 7 minutes.
>Autism: the thread
>>25692616
Why go through all that when you can just use powersaves to shinify it and perfect its stats in like 1/4 the time
>>25692673
you can do that in PKHeX too
why buy powersaves when homebrew is free
>>25692684
is it really free if you have to waste time downgrading and delegitimizing your 3ds for it
>>25692711
my 3ds is at current update and I can remove the boot file at anytime, friend
>>25692721
shit
>>25691932
>the shiny experience
>wasting hours or even days of your life
This is why the Pokemon fanbase is such an embarrassment.
>>25692868
Any kind of pastime can look silly if picked apart enough. It really just boils down to:
>Does doing X keep you from living a functional, well-balanced life?
>Yes
>No
>If No, then is a hobby
>>25692868
>feeling entitled to cheat
>literally throwing tantrums when you're not able to cheat
This is why the Pokemon fanbase is such an embarrassment.
I got a shiny magikarp randomly, evolved it and regretted it.
went shiny hunting and got another one after 20 tries without a charm
>>25693144
>thinking chain shinies are impressive
>>25693153
it was before i knew about chain hunting and i was using an old rod and moving so the biggest chain i got was like, 2
>>25692616
>fucking casuals
Yes, son, you can do all that, and everything you set your mind to.
>>25692868
So are you to your parents for playing a kids' game. Now what?! Go on feel stupid somewhere else, homeboy!
What legendary should I shiny hunt for in OR?
>>25692868
Says the one shitposting on 4chan.
>>25692868
it's a video game you fucking retard and just like all other forms of entertainment it can be understood as a "waste of time" because all entertainment is used for the purpose of passing time enjoyably. If you want to have the satisfaction of catching a shiny through SR or if you want to just save time and save edit is up to you.
>>25693461
Reshiram cuz it's the only game where u can get it shiny.
>>25693574
Fuck, so AS has Zekrom? Should've done my research. Would love a shiny Zekrom.
>>25693660
yea that seems to be the case. If you install a CFW on your 3ds reddit.com/r/3dshacks (has the guides step by step, easy to follow) you could just get a cia (from that iso site) of alpha sapphire and play that to get the shiny Zekrom and any other pokemon you want to catch from there.
>>25691827
>when i have nothing to do in my day i SR for legendaries while i do other stuff like reading, watching, browsing sites, etc
>make video when i catch
>last video was 4 months ago
why
I meant i played Pokemon less in these past 2 months but still. Fucking Landorus.
>>25691932
Isn't soft resetting thousands of times just time consuming cheating.
>>25693945
Yes as much as breeding more than 1 egg of each pokemon is cheating. Are you retarded?
>>25694741
no, because you can make an infinite amount of eggs in the game
save scumming a 1 time encounter is giving you an advantage you couldn't get otherwise
not that it matters or would be considered cheating by most people, but there's still a difference
Got a shiny Lugia last weekend. Don't know how many resets but I was watching Daredevil Season 2 and got it around the end of the 3rd episode.
>>25691932
>shiny experience
Shut up and go get laid.
Doing SRs in platinum for a shiny piplup, I'm too far in to give up now.
