Shiny hunt weekend - /shw/ - Hyper edition

>>27316247
What are you hunting for lads?*

Currently breeding for a shiny female ducklett by Masuda Methoding in Black 2. I can't find out how many eggs I've hatched so far cause i don't know where to look it up in the game. Not sure if looking at that would help tho.

>>27316247
>So now that hyper training is confirmed to fix IV's who's ready for more shiny hunting?
I am, but my autism keeps telling me that the Kalos pentagon symbol will be replaced by that cross in Sun and Moon. So I'm not sure if I should try to find any more pentagon shinies.

Hunting for Ho-Oh since I can't get Terrakion until tomorrow.

Problem is, I already have a shiny Ho-Oh, so does anyone have a shiny Lugia they want to trade when I catch this rainbow chicken?

>>27316474
I do, but....

The OT has nicknamed it "PinkBelly".

Ever since I knew about about shinies in R/S I started breeding for Pichu. I can't tell you how many thousands of Pichu I've hatched over the years. Not to mention how many times I tried to chain for it.
Decided to try the pokeradar in platinum again yesterday. I was never able to get it to work back in the day, farthest I ever got was 38.
Started with the swarm pokemon of the day Farfetch'd. Finally made it to 40 and after 2 hours of resetting and 8 max repels left I got one.
Stocked up on max repels and decided to try for Pichu once again. Finally got what I deserved after all these years.

>chain of 40, 3 resets, shiny Pichu
>2 more resets, shiny Pichu
>45ish more minutes of resetting, shiny Pichu
>10-15 more minutes of resetting, shiny Pichu
>5 more minutes of resetting, shiny Pichu

I had to stop there. I think 5 makes up 13 years of trying. But I never thought it could be so easy. Guess I'm going for Eevee's next.

>>27316842
Congrats but why aren't you hunting in XY/ORAS
also
>hunting eevee
Never ever.frustrating as fuck.

>>27316842
I never knew you could chain eevee, I think I should start chaining it too then.
I recently came to know of the ease of chaining shinies too, if only I knew that back in the day.

>>27316978
Oh I have been, I just wanted a change of pace.
I've got 1 Eevee I chained in X, but it's such a bitch to chain in that area that I never wanted to try again.

I've been switching off on hunting Bouffalant, Weedle, and Skorupi. If only there was one more day care

I caught a shiny female Zangoose on Wednesday randomly in a horde trying to find a wingull to trade. She's in a Dive Ball and has a lonely nature. Destined to become a Cool Contest star

>>27317283
Oh and i also caught a shiny Zigzagoon while horde battling. It had pickup so its time to level grind for that pickup

>>27317222
So yeah, if anyone needs any of these let me know

>>27316247
breeding for shiny Clauncher. Gonna name it Dr. Zoidberg.

Can anyone post guides? I still don't get how the dexnav thing works.

>>27318228
I'd say if you can it might be faster to chain fish for him in X version or something.

Yeah hyper training has reignited my urge to dexnav shiny hunt now that IVs can be fixed. Now to lever up my synchronizers...

tfw i recently lost my Y cart and subsequently lost a lot of shinies

>>27316247
Fuck yeah hyper training is a motherfucking savior. All those shiny legendaries i caught, finally usable. All those imperfect shinies, fixed. Literally nobody can say this is bad.

I'm going full safari and chaining for pokemon whose egg moves do not interest me. Thanks Hyper Training.

>tfw have to level all my synchs now

Who /blisseybases/ here?

>>27319155
I don't use synch hardly ever, why do they need to be leveled up?

>>27319265
Well, i'd rather have something that can actually KO stuff as a lead, and not have to faint my lead everytime i hunt.

>>27318245
I have Y. I chain fished for shiny Dragalge though.

>>27319417
Well good luck with DexNav then, it's a great method but can be tricky in water.

>tfw finished SR'ing for every legend that isn't shiny locked

Currently 130 SRs in for a shiny Chespin in Y, and doing random chain-fishing, FSes and horde encounters for shinies.

Also, good luck OP!

I want to hunt for a shiny Sandshrew, but I can't find anyone offering one with its hidden ability. I've started hunting for Chespin in the mean time; figured I might get lucky and hatch one early.

>been hatching on and off since december for one single pokemon
Kill me.

>>27319955
Which one?

feels good man

currently egging for a Tyrantrum

Now that Hyper Training's coming, I don't have to feel bad about hatching in case of bad ivs. Problem is actually hatching is boring as shit.

I need to stop breeding for shinies in the middle of breeding for other shinies, one of these days im gonna hatch a shinny with the wrong nature or ability or ivs

Going to try my luck again in this thread. I want to try hunting for a shiny Swirlix and am looking for someone with a Swirlix garden. Also happy to add anyone else for the purpose of adding more gardens and more possible shiny pokes. :)

It's 2 am and I'm tempted to Nav search a shiny Eevee...

Is the guy who was making the shiny hunting tools site around? I wanna see the progress.

>>27316247

Currently messing around on Route 110 above Slateport, a mix of dexnav and horde battles. No real targets in mind, just catching whatever shinies pop up.

In the last week, I've gotten Cobalion in a Net Ball after I ran out of Dive Balls, Virizion in a Heal Ball, and I DexNav'ed a Swablu.

You can't horde encounter pokemon foreign to that region, can you?

I crit a shiny pidove today with a Tackle and killed it

hold me /vp/

>>27322157
>attacking a shiny with a 255 catch rate

the fuck you doing man, a Quick ball would have caught that guaranteed. Worst case scenario you still had a 1/3 chance to catch it at max hp

>>27322157
You fucked up
Im not holding a scrub

>>27319599
Op here. Thanks I'm still at it. Good luck to you too.

SRing for a shiny Regice. Wish me luck bros.

>>27320054
>Hyper training confirmed

thank fuck, all my shinies are saved

>>27322157
Why are you using anything on a shiny that isn't False Swipe and Spore/Hypnosis?
Was it early in a new run?

>>27323150
Good luck

>>27323150
Don't take your eyes off the screen, anon. If you miss the sparkles you'll never be able to tell.

>>27316842
I've chained six shinies in three chains in Platinum this week. Now that I've learned that most of the "rules" were bullshit all along, it's much smoother and less stressful.
Just wish XY chaining wasn't such hot garbage. Can't even get more than one shiny per chain.

>>27323370
I've been masterballing the ones I miss, just in case.

When SM comes out, what's the first shiny you'll max the iv's of?

I'm going to max out my Ampharos, first ever hunt I did in /shw/. 2iv's, and before 6iv dittos existed, but I just don't want to replace it.

>>27323396
>Now that I've learned that most of the "rules" were bullshit all along

Can you elaborate on this? Or any recs for a guide that cuts out the bullshit?

>>27324423
My aggron, its only got hp, def, and spe

>>27324423
My shiny female braixen. It has like 5 IVs in defence.

>>27324423
My shiny audino. It only has three IVs, but it has the right ability and all its egg moves.

alright /shw/ should I go for a shiny clefairy in a heart ball or a moon ball?

>>27324925
Moon ball!

Glad to see this thread is up. Lads, I just captured a shiny Audino while drunkplaying on black version. It's bold nature, can I salvage it at all?

Funny to see this post >>27324852 btw

>>27324423
my protean greninja, its missing def and S.def

>>27324423
My shiny ninja frog. gotta fix her 10 defense.

>>27325082
Bold is best nature bro. You got lucky.

Since we can increase IV's in Gen 7, I'm probably going to start breeding for Fennekins.
Is this a realistic endeavour without a shiny charm or shouls I see if anyone wants to trade?

>>27325667
>not having the shiny charm
>he hasn't caught em all

MODS

Right now slowly making progress in my dex nav quest in ORAS, which is to get every dex nav shiny available, going route by route according to the order you visit them in in game.
Over 300 encounters so far for a Luxio, hoping I won't have to wait another 300.

I'm at 93 shinies right now, how's everyone collection going ?

i just want a sickass shiny mega abomasnow

does friend safari work well or should i keep hatching?

>>27325846
I got mine from a friend safari, but keep hatching eggs it will come

>>27324423
I might do my shiny Ampharos first as well since it seems fitting and is also consequently my worst shiny since I found it randomly and it has 0 IVs in special attack.

Anyone hunting a Shiny (sheer force) Nidoran Male?
The itch to start the hunt is needing to be scratched again, but I don't have any safari zone areas with any of the nido line in 'em.

>>27323522
Or You can just open up a tab showing the difference between a shiny and a regular regice sprite

finally picked up my keeper Cresselia after 3 shiny encounters

sassy 31 / 10 / 0 / 31 / 25 / 31 thank GF for Hyper Training

Currently trying to fill out my national dex as best I can using Dex nav, had 3 shinies out if nowhere, I thought dex nav didn't do anything for shinies?
Either way caught a shiny Skorupi, a Luvdisk and a Clefairy

>>27324526
Sure thing.
http://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/dpp_pokeradar
The basic rules were always right, but stuff like "don't go into patches that shake next to each other" or "don't go into a patch if all four didn't shake" weren't. Plus, there's the discovery of a bonus for catching Pokemon instead of killing them (which I only do after the first twenty because I'm lazy...)

>>27329090
It's likely, based on observations, that the DexNav odds are 1/512 like the Friend Safari

>>27327881
I think you meant Friend Safari, but Nidoran isn't available there anyway. You can only find HA ones in hordes on Route 11 of XY. Furthermore, it's always 4 males and 1 female so it can take even longer to find a HA female if you want it in a specific ball.

Does anyone happen to have an adamant moxie litleo

>>27329142
So with the max chance of 98%, what are the odds that the chain breaks before I hit 40?

I can get a shiny Kyurem in White, right?
Just not Zekrom.

>Still no shiny :(

So I have Eevee in the trophy garden today. Finally find it and get to a chain of 15 when a Minun breaks it. This shouldn't be possible. My game hasn't gone past midnight and the guy still says there's Eevee here today. What the fuck gives?

it looked really good.

I don't think so unless you want to use Repeat, Premier, Poke or Luxury.

Nice. I would have given up well before even one month.
If you ever manage to port it to Stadium 2 via Project 64 or something, you get Toothpaste Articuno.

Well, I've compiled a list of pokemon I wanna breed, not necessarily shiny hunt, but, if it happens it happens

>>27335512
The trophy garden has a %5 encounter rate daily pokemon. Todays is Eevee. Minun is also one of the possible daily pokemon, so it should be impossible to find.
http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/sinnoh/trophygarden.shtml

>>27335557
HE ACTUALLY DID IT

>>27335631
I'm seriously considering getting one of those Mega Memory Card things to get my save onto a legit cartridge, which I don't have either. To get it onto Stadium I'd need pretty much everything except the console though, namely the cartridge, transfer pack and the Crystal cartridge.
There's probably a McGiver way to transfer it using just the save and Project64, but eh. I'm just happy I finally found it. At one point I honestly believed my save was busted and could not generate the specific DV spreads necessary.

Maybe sometime down the road I'll get around to it.

>>27335637
I wanna not care about the ball the pokemon is in but the balltism is too strong. Does anyone have a dive ball ha nidoran female

>want to hunt Minccino
>island will vanish if i go to get a synch

what do

>>27336315
What sync do you want? Someone could always trade it to you.

>>27336334
Jolly I guess. What sucks is i need to trade something in my party away. I have 4 pickup mons, a Smeargle, and the catcher Parasect, so don't worry about it. I'll just hunt it to keep unevolved.

>>27335981
Most phone emulators that I know of use saves that are compatible with VBA, which in turn are compatible with Project64's Transfer Pak plugin. It's pretty easy; just a matter of dragging the files off your phone.
Anyway, best of luck with the others.

>>27336358
Good luck in your endeavors, then, anon! c:

>>27336362
Neato.

I could try it one of these days. It'd surely stay as a trophy though, since I'm not a competitivefag.
Also, afaik the Stadium games are kinda fucky when emulated. No big deal, mostly UI glitches and whatnot but it puts me off just a little. Is there any plugin to fix it?

>get in 2 dexnav encounters
>"It couldn't be found nearby!"

Why did they add this shit to dexnav?

I have a challenge for you fag hags.

Legal shiny Manaphy.

>>27337718
Maybe if people could actually still get the Manaphy egg it'd be barely possible. Even then that's like 30 minutes per hatch.

>can't hatch shiny in the game it's first sent to
>have to trade it to a new game
>if it doesn't hatch shiny you have to trade it back and start a new game and try again

If you did this shit nonstop it'd take 170 days, assuming you get it on the 8192nd try and you kept up the 30 minute pace the entire time. Add in 8 hours of sleep a day and you have 341 days.

tl;dr fuck that

I've been trying to get a shiny Eevee in the Friend Safari for a while now. I just added a new garden and was checking out to see what the 3 pokes were and within 5 encounters I got this...

:(

>>27338465
That's a shiny? If it weren't for the stars i wouldn't know

Op here. Still no luck with this Venonat. I just can't wait for this upcoming week to pass for more SM info. I'm excited for the new mons hopefully they have great shinies.

>>27335881
don't the pokemon from the previous day also still appear though

>>27337745
couldn't you just run around with the egg on the game it's first sent to so it's already close to hatching by the time you trade it? that would cut down on the 30 minutes every time. i must admit i'm now tempted to do this.

I'm continuing my hunt for Charmander this evening. I'm opening box number 33 now. If it hatches in this box it will still be my fastest Masuda Shiny, talk about shit luck.

>>27339690
I'm masuda'ing for a shiny froxy and already filled about the same number of boxes as you.

Good luck to both of us i think.

>>27337718
Nah son, there's challenge then there's insanity.

I could barely manage to find Articuno on Yellow and that's probably the most uncommon method to find a shiny.
I've seen Manaphy happen, but it was the one guy, and it was RNG'd. Doing it legit by chance only is beyond insane.

>>27338811
I had never heard that before but if it's true you must be right. Minun was my daily yesterday. That's a bummer, but thanks for letting me know.

>>27339690
>>27339927
Hopefully you're luckier than I am. 79 boxes of Cottonee.

>>27339927

You guys know if they've hinted at changing natures at all or is it just IVs?

Idk what to do. I come across accidental shinies a lot it seems, and have boxes full of them. Guess I'll try go and MM for a nice shiny vulpix to use next gen.


In other news, I have a 5iv perfect jolly natured level 1 riolu with bulleto punchu,kalos born. Feel free to offer.

Over 120 eggs in, and still no shiny drought Vulpix. Gonna get started for today.

>>27338833
The egg is fixed to not be shiny on the game it's first sent to. You could do that to sort of "pre-hatch" the egg, but there's no getting around the fact that every time, you have to

>trade
>hatch
>no shiny
>send back, erase the game
>start new game
>go through all the boring as fuck beginning trash until you get the dex and get to Sandgem Town
>trade egg
>hatch

See it's a different secret ID for every savefile. The egg won't be shiny on one save, but might be on another.

>>27343310
you underestimate how seriously i take a challenge. i have already contacted several ebay sellers regarding the in tact status of the manaphy egg mission on their pokemon ranger cartridges for sale.

muh blue pentagon

>>27343989
You can't nickname a traded Pokemon.

>>27343446
Can't you just restart the game and input the password or am I missing something? Is it literally 1 egg per cart?

>>27344271
One egg per CART, not per save. Absolutely fucking stupid how fucking rare a useless "legendary" is.

>>27343446
was it ranger or shadows of almia? because i have both without transfering the egg

Tfw sucker punch is a nidoran m egg move but not a nidoran f

>>27344311
ranger had the egg mission available via code so as long as it hasn't been done already you can beat the game and get the mission any time, but almia and i think guardians had it via wifi which is of course no longer available so unless you downloaded the mission and just never played/transferred the egg it's too late. i have all the ranger games but didn't download the mission for anything other than the original.

>>27344311
>>27344677
OH WAIT MY BAD it's just almia and guardians then! i forgot the original was gen 3 only!! fuck now i'll have to get someone to trade me their egg i guess

>>27344839
no wait never mind i was right the first time but if it was almia i remember doing the mission on maybe i still have it on my original game

I've done it a bunch of times already.

Just missing a Gen 4 game to transfer all the special mission mons to my Gen 6 games. Gonna use this to get myself a good IV/natured deaxys and shaymin too.

Got this guy a few weeks ago.

IVs are 31/31/31/x/31/2

Hopefully the one extra point in speed doesn't matter too much. I did some calcs and it decreases Gyro Balls base power my like 3 against things that aren't super fast.

It's close enough to perfect

last bump of the weekend

1.2k eggs still no shiny venonat well this was an unsuccessful weekend.

I wasn't particularly hunting, but got a shiny Shuppet from horde ev training.

Good luck with your male shiny Fennekin

>>27329261
I actually managed to spawn the fucker in a hidden grotto recently.

>There won't be hyper training with convenient zeros

I'm sorry for your loss.

What are the stats? I was about to start trying to breed for one, lol.
Then again I guess it wouldn't work out, I need a few egg moves on it.

Since this got bumped I'll ask anyway.
Shiny Raikou, what ball? My chart only recommends a Level Ball, and I'm in OR.

>>27354511
Quick ball is also nice for electric types and luxury is always a great option

>>27354511
Maybe repeat?

revival bump

>>27316247
I know the weekend is technically over, but I stumbled across a shiny Zubat in granite cave this morning.

Op here I hatched 300 more eggs today with no results ;-;

>>27356939
Congrats

Anyone has a rejected mewostic (F) to give away?

I've been trying to hatch a Shiny Chansey with no luck for a while now.

Anybody got a good nickname for it for when I get it?
