/shw/ - Shiny Hunt Weekend

Hunting a Snivy, MM. Dad is a jap Abomasnow 5IV-Spd, Mom is a 5IV-Atk Timid Contrary.

Just hatched a 6IV Overgrowth Snivy.

34 eggs and counting

Recently, last week's Quiet Latios

I got the Shiny Charm last week, and softresetted for Latios to try it out. Stopped counting around 550SR, but I estimate it took near a 1000 tries.

Masuda
>recently?
Nothing really, last shiny was a beldum i masuda'd but that was a year ago
>shiny charm
Yup, but it doesn't seem to work at all. That beldum took 1200 eggs, and I just hatched charmander number 1690 but still nothing. Pic related, one of the 6 iv children I hatched along the way is now lv 100

Got Palkia and Giratina last weekend. This week it's heatran turn.

>>27740480
Dialga I mean...not sue why I keep doing that.

What's a good synchro nature for heatran anyway?

>>27740517
Modest/Timid

Interesting, hatched a 31/31/31/31/31/0 Snivy. This will be useful somehow.

What would be a good ball for shiny Spritzee and shiny Dedenne?

>>27740628
Heal ball and....uhh....luxury ball?

>>27740447
Charm only affects pokemon encountered in the wild

>>27740721
No it doesn't it affected all encounters aside from friend safari.. The change made to the english description form bw2 is stupid.

This is my first ever attempt after finishing my living dex and getting the charm

Do you have the Shiny Charm? Ye


Bout 250 eggs in, just feels like it's never gunna happen, but I can't wait for that feeling when it'll finally pop

How's it feel bros, will it make me want to hunt more? Cause the sheer amount of time it takes makes me feel like I could do one a month max

>>27741513

No, seriously. What the fuck?

>>27741557

Maybe if you have a lot of free time you might feel like getting more. I MMed for a tepig and went over 40 boxes. Don't feel like I'll MM anything again.

I'll just use dexnav or friend safari and fix my pokemon in SM, granted synchronize pass the ability.

>>27741557
It's worth it when you finally get it. I've hatched a shiny after only 7 eggs, and even hatched 2 shinies within my first box. Pic related only took around ~76. It's always random.

>>27741631
>granted synchronize pass the ability.
I mean, pass the nature.

>>27741603
I named it after my 2 week old son.

Hunting for a ralts, 3 boxes in :)
Using mm
Last week I mm'd for my first, non event poke, magikarp :) it's a beautiful Gyarados now .
Got my shiny charm two days ago :)

No, which makes me sad a little bit.

Anyway, how big is my chance for Shiny, if I breed Shiny Glaceon (Female) and Shiny Raichu (Male) using Masuda Method without Shiny Charm? I already hatched 180 eggs.

>got a Taunt Smeargle for this Zorua in case it has Memento
>turns out you can't fail a catch on Route 101

I caught 5 in a row at max hp with a poke ball despite Zorua itself having a 10% catch rate at that HP.

>>27741981
yes. that i'm going to be at this a very, very long time.

>>27741981
I'll will hunt a long, long time? ;_;

Congratz anon

>>27742198
Being completly honest - I bought my 3DS... a month ago? YES, it is possible to be THIS poor.
I already have full Hoenn dex, but I don't know if I have enough patience to do National Dex. And my internet connection suck ass - almost every trade ends with error.

>>27739966
>100 eggs
Is this your first hunt? 1/512 is the chance with the charm and Masuda. 800 eggs is about my average. Turn on something interesting and prepare for the long haul.

>>27742244
Such as?

started sring for cresselia to get that quick fix while resetting for manaphy, still no luck. as usual i don't count srs but considering the only other soft reset shinies i went for (giratina and the hgss starters) took a few hours at most this feels like a really long time... but that's what makes it fun i guess!

What are you hunting?
Prepping a Volcarona for competitive play after breeding, one that's done Vulpix is on my list.
How are you hunting it?
Dexnav
What have you gotten recently?
First shiny ever was the day before yesterday, DexNav'd Eevee at 202 Search level. Yesterday I got a Spinda after Dexnav'ing 746 times. I almost gave up many times, that was frustrating.
Do you have the Shiny Charm? Why not?
No. Only had the game for two weeks.

Would anyone be up for trading? Looking for a shiny pichu or golett for S/M. Also anything that could work in LC.

>>27742793
What's the ability on tangrowth? I have 40+ different shinies including a shiny tepig.

>What are you hunting?
Cubone
>How are you hunting it?
MM
>What have you gotten recently?
Totodile
>Do you have a Shiny Charm?
Yes

After the recent trailer, I'm going after Cubone. Hopefully it would evolve into Alolan Form since they show a regular Cubone evolving into Alolan Marowak.

>>27742793
Can you show me the noivern? I have a shiny marill, adamant with huge power, could work for you.

How will Alola forms mess with our living dexes?

>>27742793
>>27742991
Just forgot azurill existed. Instead, I have a shiny bold seel if you're interested.

>>27743008
it likely wont since they're the same species at the end of the day.

>>27742304
You could always emulate the older games and then inject the pokemon into your ORAS cart.

>>27739559

>What are you hunting?
Shiny female Sentret(still). I am also occasionally messing around in the Friend Safaris to break the monotony.
>How are you hunting it?
Masuda Method

Shiny female Floatzel late last week.
>Do you have the Shiny Charm?
Yes I do.

This cutey took me 80 eggs combined since I hatched a perfect 5IV male in English in the first 7 eggs and a perfect 5IV female in Japanese at number 80. Good luck on your hunt!

>>27743549
Happy birthday

>>27743609
It's actually next month but thank you~

What do you guys do while shiny hunting? I've been watching shitty game shows from the 90's while playing. Nick Arcade is so fucking terrible that it's good.

>>27743044
>it likely wont
Well that's a goddamned lie.
Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to set them where they belong in the Pokédex or set them in order at the end in a Alola form box.
Probably the former since I already have all the other alternate forms where they belong.

I'm wondering about Breeding. If I hatch a a Cubone egg from a Ground Type mother, will it be Ground or Fire/Ghost?

Finally hatched the shiny Mawile on egg 797. On/off hatching for over a year now, sadly it's male.

>>27743713
>shitty game shows from the 90's
Go and get MXC right now.

>>27743770
You guys want in on this shit? Could get a bit of a marathon going in the cytube if people are interested, might keep people hunting

What's the hardest shiny mon to obatain?

>>27743876
Shiny Manaphy

>1 egg per cartridge for some stupid reason
>cannot be shiny in the game it's sent to
>must be traded to another game and hatched
>still has the base 1/8192 chance
>only you have to save prior, hatch, and if it's not shiny, trade it and start a new game

You're looking at about 20 minutes per hatch. That's 163840 minutes if the 8192nd one was the shiny

>>27743959
Has anyone done it?

>>27744188
I don't think anyone's been suicidal enough to pull it off.

>>27743713
marathonned stranger things on netflix last week. it was pretty good, i don't think i would have been able to get through it if i hadn't been hunting at the same time

>>27743959
>>27744188
>>27744227
24 minutes actually, i just recorded a demonstration of how long a single reset takes for when i get the shiny just so people know what i went through. i'm determined to make history on this anonymous image board.

Thanks! This is probably the most unlucky I've been in awhile, but I'm still in the triple digit egg count(plus there are days here and there that I don't play any of the games).

Just got Breloom in a FS after trying for Pancham.

Hunting for my Anorith now. Still.

>>27744580
That's how I'm feeling now about this Burmy. 27 boxes currently but I haven't been feeling as motivated to hunt as I use to.

Can't hunt Regigigas after 8pm, so I'm going to MM a Nidoran M for my brother to use in Sun, since I've called dibs on Moon.

I found a shiny Slakoth on my new game of Ruby. Problem is I have no idea what to do with it. Should I:

A. Box it.
B. Make it an HM slave.
C. Train it but don't evolve it because it has the best shiny and design.
D. Evolve it once so it doesn't have a terrible abilty.
E. Evolve it twice even because of its stats even with a terrible ability, shiny, and design.
F. Keep using it to catch pokemon with Yawn.

>>27746292
Evolve it fully and teach it hyper beam

>>27746331
Will do. That crossed my mind. The best thing about shinies in my experience is that they make me use pokemon I never gave a second thought to before.

How embarrassing.

Nidoran M can't pass down a ball, right?
So the only way I can breed a Nidoran M in a Moon Ball is with a Nidoran F in a Moon Ball.

Let's try that again.

>>27739559
>What are you hunting?
Feebas. Luckily i'm playing OR so I don't have to trade evolve.
>How are you hunting it?
Masuda.

Shiny totodile, only took about 60 eggs.
>Do you have the Shiny Charm? Why not?
Nope. I can't find anyone to trust me enough with their legendaries such as dialga or lugia. However i'll just wait for event legendaries.

>>27747885

>Shiny charm

Senpai shiny charm has no effect on friend safari...for whatever reason like dexnav

>>27744616

Damn, the only times I've ever been been that high or higher is when I bred for a shiny Cottonee and shiny Flabebe.

>>27747940
Dangit, I knew that but worded by post in a dumb way, just to answer the thread question of if I had a shiny charm or not.

I honestly feel like shiny charm should work everywhere on everything... getting the full dex is hard.

I have yet to get the shiny charm. How does one get it?

Also, does it have an effect the rate of eggs having shiny pokemon?

>>27747283
What do you want for that noivern?

>>27748063
Get the full national dex (event pokemon aren't required) and then talk to the professor of the game.

And yeah it affects rate of eggs having shiny pokemon and stacks with masuda method.

rump a bump

To get a Moon Ball Nidoran, I have to transfer from SS to White, which I let my brother start a new save file on.
So that means I can SR for shiny Kyurem, which I needed to do anyway.

What have you gotten recently? female tirtouga in less than 50 eggs, jellicent, cresselia, and 2 ferroseed in the same batch.

About 1100 Sr's into my Ho-oh hunt.

That's why there's no way on earth I'm ever gonna bother with this. It would absolutley break my heart to go through all that and not have it get Unburden.

>>27748133
Got anything unusual or interesting? Not really in need of anything at the moment, as I said earlier I'm thinking of using pichu or golett for SM so a shiny if those two would be cool. Anything I could use in LC, preferably shiny, also interests me.

/shw/ I'm so close to getting the shiny charm but I haven't been able to get any legendary other than the birds, mewtwo and the XY legendaries. Would someone be able to do a touch trade(I think that's what it's called) so I can finish this thing?

Still hunting for heatran...I wish it's shiny was a bit more different. All I can rely on are those beautiful pink(purple?)eyes.

I need some stuff to watch while looking for a shiny. By the way, what shiny should I go for now? Preferrably dexnav

>>27756515
Wouldn't exactly call Heatran beautiful, but keep at it!

>>27756555
I don't think it is...unless a female pops up. It's shiny's eyes are the only thing I can use to tell if it's the shiny one.

Wasn't really hunting a shiny; just wanted to catch Kyurem, fucked up the first time and soft-resetted, spawning this fellow.

31 IVs in Attack, Special Attack and Speed. Pretty good, if I say so myself. Nature is Brave, though; kind of a cruel joke.

Just started hatching box no 62 for charmander. I have three more left and then I'll quit for the day I guess. Don't know how long I can take this anymore.

On a positive note, I just started watching the XYZ anime which surprisingly is pretty fun. Only thing that bothers me is that the dubs don't include the English names. Already 8 episodes in what the hell.

What's the easiest way to get the shiny charm?

>>27759401
There's a bunch of complicated shit you have to do which involves calcing the iv's of the shiny and finding your secret id out through it. The program you need is hard as shit to find, but i have it. All you have to do is tell me the IVs, and preferrably the Secret Power type.

>>27747671
What? Didn't Gen 6 change it so genderless and male pokemon could pass down their hidden ability?

>>27759472
They can, but not at as high a rate

>>27759415
Catch them all or touch trade with someone for about 10 hours. Make a living dex so when gen 7 comes you don't have to do it again

>>27759472
Yes, but only females can pass down their Poké Ball.

>>27759415
Catch hundreds of dittos, put them up on GTS them up for what you need and make a comment saying "6IV+Imposter"

History is destined to repeat itself.

Happened 3 times with Articuno, and it looks like Zapdos won't be the exception, which brings the grand total to 4 stupidly close failures.

In case you were wondering, that's a 1DV in attack. The rest of the stats are correct and correspond to a shiny.
So it's a dud.

Fuckin A.

Hatched a shiny pokemon for a friend, and she found a shiny Feebas in the same week. Just wanted to let you guys know that miracles can happen.

I swear to god the spanish translation goes out of their way for the obscure word no one ever uses

Night Slash - Corte Nocturno

Was it that hard

>>27768293
It's Spain Spanish, not Hispanic Spanish. It's almost a different language friend.

>>27768293
I guess. I'm already used to english and spanish names, so I don0t find anything weird anymore. I've started a few games in english, but more in spanish.

They do use sometimes weird words. Not like it's a bad translation, but a weird word choice.

>>27768293
Blame spaniards and their shitty ass outdated spanish. It could be translated so much better but spanish translations are ALWAYS handed to spaniards because who the fuck knows, stereotypes probably.

Tajo Umbrio could very well be translated back to Shadow Slash, Dark Cut or plenty of other similar variations except the actual correct one.

Corte Nocturno is the most simple one really, but they have to make them into words that are obsolete at pretty much everywhere else other than Spain.

I just play everything in english now because the translations are that bad.

>t. non-grandpa spanish native speaker

>>27768588
The same.

I started on a Spanish Blue game, but even then I couldn't understand shit like "Placaje"

After Ruby I went English version and never looked back.

>>27768588
Corte Nocturno is a fucklong name, maybe tacos can't put that name for character limitations.
No justifica errores como "Contador"

>>27768649
They actually translated Slam as Portazo in the older games, Counter as Contador and Return as Retroceso. How can you even fuck up that bad?
Then again, now Slam is Atizar, which is arguably worse because I legit never even heard that word before in my life.

I think this trope even led me to prefer english in every form of media rather than my native language, since translations to spanish are generally so miserable they're not even worth it.

I had a game from each generation completed to the extent one can in isolation, so about a month after I got the game, and most of that was trading for Kalos mons since I don't have X or Y, and breeding to fill out the pre-evolutions.

Having some spare legends was helpful for Xerneas, Yevetal, and Zygarde.
Aromatisse and Slurpuff were brutal on me.

It'll be cake to get in SM.

Gonna try for Fokko until I have a box full of Female Magician Fokkos or I get a Shiny Fokko.

I'm up to seven Femagicians...

Hunting mewtwo in gen 1. This might literally take my entire life.

It's that I literally started watching the anime just now or I would have had no idea who you were talking about.

Back when X and Y where released, I heard that giving tips to people boosted the chances of getting a shiny. Was that true?

>>27777675
It was just a rumor, probably given fuel due to the doubled shiny rate in general in gen 6

Every time I release one of these Fennekins, I imagine I'm releasing it to the custody of the Kalos Starter program.

That, or a bunch of Fennekins are running around stealing people's shit with Magician. It makes me feel better either way.

need a new thread, weekend isn't dead yet

It took me 4132 SRs to get a shiny Cress in OR with the shiny Charm. Hang in there, you'll get it.

What are you hunting?
Shiny treecko in pokemon emerald
How are you hunting it?
Soft resetting.
What have you gotten recently?
Nothing.It's my first hunt.
Do you have the Shiny Charm? Why not?
No,I don't think you can get one legit in pokemon emerald now.
