Entei, dialga, giratina
Do you have the Shiny Charm? Why not?
ofcourse

>>27781359
I'll trade you something for a female shiny if you get one.

Gave up on Luxio, now trying Zebstrika.
DexNav chaining.
From chaining - shiny Eevee, from trading - shiny Yveltal.
Yep, I have.

so the dexnav doesn't actually increase the chance of finding a shiny?

Going for registeel, got regice 2 days ago

>>27781799

Finally finished this trio. Azelf came reasonably fast, less than 200 SRs. Got lucky.

Time to move to Dialga.

Quick question, I only actually tried using the pokerader yesterday and couldn't get it to work. If you're wondering yes I'm you need to walk and not skate in tall grass to charge it and it still wouldn't let me use it. After checking online it appears some people have this glitch as well, anyway to fix this?

>>27781818

I've been looking for a shiny Shuckle for an entire week now and I'm getting impatient.
I've been chaining AND Masuda methoding with a shiny charm and still no luck.
Does anyone have one up for trade? I can offer some mega stones and hefty amounts of normal Shuckles.
As well as a Munna, but nobody wants Munna.

>>27783634
I could get you a Shuckle, but through "legit" means. It wouldn't be a perfect nature, just Serious.

>>27783673
Honestly, I don't care at this point. Go for it senpai.

>>27783685
By "legit" I just mean rng in Emerald. It'll probably take me a bit to get though, since i've never gone for a Rock Smash mon

>>27783634
Hang in there shucklebro, I believe in you. Also in case you didn't know breeding with a foreign and/or shiny ditto increases your chances of hatching a shiny. Good luck getting one though, when I tried asking for a simple 6iv ditto, not even foreign or shiny, people were ready to hang me.

>>27783700
Also the ivs wont be perfect, no egg moves, and safari ball only.

>>27783700
>>27783745
What's your FC? My IGN is Pidgey, trade me when you're done. It sounds great to me. I'm not huge about IVs and the like.

>>27783760
Here it is. Just a fair warning, it'll still take me awhile to get it into gen 6

>>27783634
>shiny Shuckle
Hang in there bro I believe in you. Having a shiny shuckle would be cool as shit.

I don't know, with shuckle stats are pretty important in my opinion. Obviously only defense and sp. defense but still. I was VERY lucky and the one traded to me had perfect IV and I believe a bold nature.

>8.888% chance for a pokemon to come from rock smash

I think I might just ask for one on /ekx/. Would that be a good idea? I'm not looking to trade it anytime soon.

>What are you hunting?
Shiny Darumaka

>How are you hunting it?
Riding the bike on battle resort

>What have you gotten recently?
Last shiny I got was Shiny Lotad, which I am in the midst of raising. I love how it looks.

>Do you have the Shiny Charm? Why not?
>no living dex

I really need to get around to completing it. It'd make it so easy.

>>27783907
Do abilities like suction cups improve the odds?

>>27783946
Regardless I still need to get a shiny Shuckle anyways, so do what you want.

>>27784046
Since noone's done anything on /ekx/ for a while, I'll just call that off. Back to /wfg/ it is.
Good luck hunting though!

Alright yeah fuck getting Shuckle today.

>rock smash has a tiny chance of encounter
>50/50 chance of getting it shiny IF timed right
>have to leave the area after smashing 4 rocks and come back
>can only do it 3 times before resetting

I spent an hour on this and saw a single Shuckle. I'm going back to hunt in AS instead

>>27784692
try XY pokemon safary or MMing

>>27784707
I don't have the patience for MMing anymore. Every time I try I lose motivation after only 15 eggs

>>27783476

What Pokemon are missing? The Gen IV evolutions are a bitch
>Porygon evolves twice through item trade

Literally why is this allowed

I might shiny hunt the gen 4 pixies, what's a good nature to get?

Does /vp/ still do SV checking for shinies?

Haven't seen since I came back

What's your longest fish chain? 141 for a Skrelp for me even though I was looking for Shellder. Still going for it.

>>27785351
200 I think. It was for a staryu. really odd since most of my shinies came around 30-50

Does anyone have a female dive ball ha snover they could give me? I can offer bouffalant, weedle, hp fire magnemite

For some reason I have various sneasel scattered around my pc boxes with fake out, pursuit, ice shard, icicle crash from january 2015 that I don't remember hatching.

Guess I found my next masuda project since most of the work is already done.

keepin the thread alive

i've had every game since gold sliver crystal and i've literally never stumbled across a single shiny. its fucking bullshit

>>27786797
If you use Repels, you have nobody to blame but yourself. If you don't, gen 6 is as good a place as any to get one. Get a Suction Cups mon and start chain fishing, you'll get your shiny quick

Fighting a shiny Dewgong in the Friend Safari at this moment. If successful, this'll be 307/721.

>>27786797
Go to a route and start using Sweet Scent, it'll come.
Or save in front of a legendary and start Soft Reseting.

>>27786797
only one ive ever caught was a shiny wurmple in emerald, turned into a dustox too.

Well....fug.

>>27786881
got my shiny gyarados in 3 hours doing this.

so is it even worth it to iv breed or ev train shiny pokemon now? can i just breed and not worry about it thanks to hyper training? i dont know all the details for hypertraining. if so, i welcome hypertraining.

>>27787217
Radar doesn't work in the safari. As for the Audino, I did the same thing only i caught it anyways

Shiny charm also doesn't affect shiny rate in the safari

>>27787286
Didn't know that, my rader doesn't work at all. No matter how much I walk in tall grass I always get the mom message. I already have a shiny audino but it's a bit upsetting.

>>27787343
Yeah you can't use the Radar in the safari, can't be done. Just run around with your 1/512 shiny rate

>>27787374
>1/512
Didn't know it was that high, only started actually using it recently.

>>27787217
You mean take-down or double-edge?

Yeah, I do, but I'm still working on my living Dex.
Also started playing Heart Gold again to stock up on Kurt Ball pokemon, particularly Alola Form pokemon. Slightly miffed that Moon Ball Meowth is only available in Soul Silver.

I've been hunting a shiny Shuckle for two weeks.
I'm ready to give up.
I've been doing both Friend Safari AND Masuda Methoding for a week now.
Should I give up?

>>27789162
No. Finish what you've started.

>>27789162
I'd get you one if i wasn't half asleep and i got more than 1 shuckle an hour. Fuck the Rock Smash rates.

I'd hunt one myself, but I like the red shell better.

>>27789162
nobody believes this and it's probably just in my head but i swear some friend safaris have better luck than others. i have a few that i can always go to and get a shiny within half an hour whereas others i can be in for 8 hours a day several days in a row and see nothing. my advice is to go to r*ddit friend safari sub and ask for shuckle safaris so you can try out different ones. i got 2 boxes of shinies in like a week from sticking to safaris with "high shiny odds". again, this is probably all just rng/luck so don't come after me with those (You)s but it's still worth trying imo.

Ok guys, starting a nuzlocke of AS. you can soft reset for starters, right? and if so, you wont be able to tell until youre in battle right? i dont think they'll be shiny on the choose your mon screen

I'm super pissed right now. So I was chaining for a Carvanha/Sharpedo and a Feebas just came up and it was shiny. Literally the first Feebas in my chain. Anything similar ever happen to you guys?

Debating on whether to start MM'ing for a Dive Ball HA Nidoking or Dive Ball HA Politoed. Recently hatched this one, 30/31/31/31/31/31 and nicknamed her Cham Li.

>>27790582
Fuck that is beautiful. Also, Heal Ball looks better on a shiny Politoed.

can false swipe ever be a critical hit and end up fainting a pokemon? google is giving me mixed results. i always use hypnosis/super fang glameow to weaken shinies because i'm afraid of a false swipe fail also i just love glameow

>>27790708
You've seen the anime I anime I imagine. You literally can't finish anything off with false swipe and hold back.

>>27790769
good to know. i hadn't even heard of hold back before. still, no pokemon as cute for me to look at as glameow can learn false swipe plus a sleep move.

>>27790278

How?

>>27790278

Just do it as much as you can while you're SRing.
Empty it out on a few random people, save, and repeat when it's full again.

>>27791193
Through a combination of autism, challenge, and insanity.
Short version is she hatches it and resets if it's not shiny before sending it to a new game.

this. 24 minutes per reset. and then i'm gonna marry funny image anon who will then get cucked by aikatsu anon.

>>27791213
yeah the problem is remembering to use it when it fills up. i'm leveling it on my y version and giving it to myself on ruby and i should be at level 3 pretty soon but some asshole said using it at level 1 can still get it to level 3 so i wasted a good deal of time on that.

>>27791256
>>27791451
So if you reset before getting the egg, the traits can be different?

>>27791624
Every egg has a locked secret ID.
If this matches with the game's secret ID, it will be shiny.

>>27791624
you have to transfer the egg from ranger to 1 game (where it can't be shiny) then trade it to another, hatch it, if it's not shiny reset the hatch and trade the egg back, then delete the save file on game 2 and go through the 20 minute intro to get to be able to trade (and catch 3 shitmons for the trade limit), repeat until shiny or death whichever comes first

>>27791656
So you hatch it, then if it isn't shiny, you reset, trade it to a different game, and if it isn't shiny there, you make a new save file on another game and repeat? Does this work for the Ranger Manaphy with gen 4 games?

>>27791696
Guess I was right, thanks. I'm just working on finishing Ranger right now as it happens, hope my copy can still get her because I bought it used.

>tfw MMing a pokemon that requires 10,240 steps to hatch

>>27791722
you can check the ranger net to see if the mission is there at any point. if it's been done before it will stay on the ranger net even on a new game and you can't get the egg, but if it's not listed on ranger net just look for the code on google once you finish the game (took me a day to get from rank 5 to 10 on a used copy) and you'll be all set. it has to be the original ranger game though, as the other ranger games get the egg through wifi which is no longer available

>>27791772
>>27791792
Then here I go, I guess. Since I have no Ranger Net in the menu, does that mean the game has never been beaten?

Luckiest weekend ever. The game probably took pity on me after over 5000 SR for Zekrom during 3 weeks.

This just showed up, although I have been SRing the whole day while watching movies and summer olympics. I hope the nature gets passed through sync.

Best way to finish this weekend. I'll try the genies next saturday.

>>27791951
i'm not really familiar with the box trick so i can't say for sure but somebody else might know

Thursday night I had some amazing luck while MMing for Deino. I had been trying on-and-off since last weekend. Lo and behold, I get one in the second egg in a batch of 5. I go to hatch the others, and the very next egg is also shiny.

I had once hatched two shiny Koffing within 5 eggs of each other, which in itself is amazing. But the sheer odds of getting two back-to-back has to be near impossible.

Not sure which one I'll use, since neither has perfect IVs. If what they're saying about there being a new system of super-training that can fix this is true, it may not matter.

As for names, there's a male and female. The female one shall be Maleficent. Not sure about the male, so suggestions are welcome.

I find myself in a curious predicament.
An incident earlier today ended in me driving a penknife into the palm of my hand.
The wound isn't deep and doesn't seem to be serious, but measures are to be taken to keep it from becoming infected.
The placement of said injury means that your garden variety adhesive bandage refuses to stay attached for longer than 15 minutes at best, necessitating the application of gauze and medical tape.

So my quandary tonight is do I learn to wank with my left hand, or do I keep myself occupied by hunting through the night?
Making this even tougher is the fact that I've found a nice eroge that hits all the right places.

Decisions, decisions...

I've been SRing for a shiny starter in black for about a week. I'm getting discouraged /vp/

I did run into a shiny lilipup and pidove randomly in the past month so maybe this is fate

>>27794164

Last bump for the night. Congrats to all of you who were successful on your hunts! As for the rest of us, there's always next weekend. Good luck and find those shinies!

If my emerald's battery is dry can I still get a shiny starter by softreset?

>>27791193
I think he's the absolute madman that said he'd do it on friday.

>>27799498
Soft resetting can get it, I believe.

>>27799498
Battery only directs the clock. The game saves with flash memory.

>>27799498
I'm no authority but the rng back then had to be separate from the clock system.

Sucks, bro.

>>27799814
I found one a while back randomly in safari. I won't rename it, but do you have things to trade for it?

>>27799949
I could give you a Regice with the name "ICEASS" or a few Mega Stones, would that do? I also probably have a decent IV Shuckle inbetween all my breedjects as well.

>>27799977
Not really, I've got a good shuckle already and two regice. Have any extra mystics, or another shiny?

>>27799991
I wonder traded my shiny for reasons unknown, and my Celebi is still in my now-expired Pokemon Bank.


fuck

>>27800003
You know you can still withdraw from pokemon bank right? You just can't deposit. I do need a celebi.

>>27800013
wait where the fuck did my celebi go
shit
looks like i'm gonna have to spend ANOTHER FUCKING TWO WEEKS LOOKING FOR A SHUCKLE

>>27800083
Or longer
If you have x/y and oras it's possible it's in the other game.

>>27800126
I haven't touched ORAS since I bought it, so there's no way it's in there.
Must have Wonder Traded it, for some reason I thought that if I gave good Pokemon I got good Pokemon.

today is a good day

Does getting a shiny of a mon add it to your regular dex as well as your shiny dex?

What do you guys do to cheer yourself up when you MM and fill the last box without getting a shiny and then having to empty your boxes by releasing everything?

>>27800721
sleep. it also helps me escape my real problems.

>>27800721
Wonder trade them first so that someone gets your nice spitbacks. You'll feel a little better.

>>27800886
>but it takes so long
buddy, youre in the wrong thread...

im soft resetting for a shiny treecko on OR right now. Its taking forever and i wish i was dead

>>27801086
Why not just hatch for it instead? You won't see a shiny Poochyena either.

>>27801207
cus im replaying OR and since treecko is the only Hoenn starter that i dont have a shiny of i just went for it.

>>27781308
I recently hatched a shiny charmander when i was trying to get some extras for trades. Didn't expect it since it was only the 2nd charmander.

>>27781308
after about 340 eggs, i've decided to take a break on hatching a shiny totodile

>>27802104
ive got the hidden ability and ivs and nature all locked down, though. So it will be worth it....now that i think about it, i should run aqua jet on him

>Playing Uranium unironically

>>27802127
You should DEFINITELY run aqua jet just incase the shiny gets torrent and not sheer force.

I got a shiny Smeargle today. I'm really happy.

Which are some of the best looking shinnies? I need ideas for my next shiny. No legendaries.

>got my shiny eevee on my FIRST egg
>hatched two shiny honedge in a row
>still no shiny tepig after 2 weeks
Kill me

I'm 410 eggs into trying for a gollett, give me strength, tell me about how many eggs shit has taken you to get

>>27800651
Depends on if you encounter it normally. Otherwise it defaults to Shiny.

I'm doing Fennekins, so I convince myself they're being "Released to the custody of the Kalos starter program".

That, or a bunch of Magician Fennekins are going around stealing people's shit.

>>27805334
Explain

>>27803917
20 boxes of Feebas. Nothing to show for it except some WT legends that seem kinda legit

My Onix is locked into Shiny in the formdex thanks to the one I caught back in Pearl, for instance. Not sure what your question was, but if you only own the shiny form of a Pokemon, it'll only appear as shiny in the Pokedex.

>>27805451
I should have mentioned it only gives me its Shiny form in the Pokedex becauase I haven't encountered a normal one. If you meet a normal one, it should get added to the Formdex.

>found pic related randomly while trying to get an ekans for my living dex

I don't really care about Skorupi or Drapion but there are definitely worse shinies to find, it's making me a little interested in shiny hunting.

>>27805451
My question was whether it counted towards "caught"

>>27805661
...Yes. Why wouldn't it?

>>27805791
It's Pokémon, who knows how it works. Thanks.

All of Gardevoir's abilities have their uses. Trace lets you play some mind games and force out any "-Absorb" pokemon and Telepathy is essential for Doubles.

Just got a shiny oddish while horde training, I caught it in a heal ball and I'm going to evolve it into a bellossom. Any name suggestions?

>>27812607
It took me 5 hours of nonstop SR

That is oddly specific, care to elaborate?

You cannot screw your odds in this
also when i got it i almost resetted out of habit

If a Shiny Ditto uses Transform, does it transform into a shiny? What if it uses Transform on a Shiny?
And what about Zoroark?

shiny ditto no, transform on shiny pokemon i think yes, and i'm pretty sure for zoroark if the pokemon is shiny its illusion will be shiny but i don't think if zoroark is shiny its illusion of a non shiny will be
