Is the shiny charm still in Pokemon Sun and Moon?
Just noticed it wasn't a selectable Key item in PKHex is all.
OH SHIT NO
And GF keeps their streak of removing random features for no apparent reason.
They probably play 3/6 Russian roulette with the features from previous gens, it's the only explanation.
>>29768625
Crying.
(Arguably actually brings more rarity back to shinies, but also makes me sad because I was never lucky enough to get any shinies without the charm. But with it I've gotten about 20)
Still hurts my heart though. I cri.
Now with dexnav, hordes, and (if) shiny charm, gone: shiny hunting is gonna become a bitch again.
Guess I'm gonna have to hunt/competitive breed for shinies in OR and transfer them up.
Wait can we get a bump on this and get someone to confirm by looking through the files for us?

>bumping a first page thread
reddit pls go
Speaking of items still in the game, are the Ability Capsules still a thing? I have a Vanilluxe with the HP i already want, but want to know if I will beable to get snow warning when I transfer.
>>29768565
speaking of items, what are the mechanics of the exp share? i didn't see any talk on it
>>29769147
They appear to be a thing. They're in the game. As for whether they're obtainable or not I'm not sure. But I'm sure you'll be able to purchase them with BP just like the previous games.

2 FUCKING GENERATIOMS EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT EASY DIFICULTY GAME AND NOW YOU GUYS GOT A FUCKING "DIFICULTY BUFFED" GAME YOU ARE COMPLAINING, FUCK.
>>29769167
Pretty sure I read that the exp share works the exact same as it did in Gen 6.
But don't quote me on that.
>>29769233
I'm not, I'm actually having a good time.
>>29768598
>>29768922
>>29769104
Is there even any way to tell what the current shiny rate is? It may very well have tripled, effectively giving everyone a permanent shiny charm.
>>29769233
I don't mind the changes, I like this generation still, I just like seeing people getting BTFO
Next you're gonna tell chain-fishing for shinies is also gone. Pokeradar probably ain't coming back (even if it did, i suck at that method anyways).
Shinies are still valuable regardless if Gen 6 made them easier to obtain. The way probability actually works in these games, you're not guaranteed to find a shiny after 512 encounters.
You could get a shiny on the first egg hatch or the 1000th. The idea is that in a large sample of shinies collected, the total amount of encounters should eventually balance out into that average proportion of 1/512.
Where is the link for the new pkhex?
>>29769233
A lot of those things were simply conveniences. It made the post game grind smoother.
It IS in the game, a character called Game Director gives you.
>>29769202
>But I'm sure you'll be able to purchase them with BP just like the previous games.
What's the shop list for the battle tree anyway?
ARE THE STARTERS SHINY LOCKED?
SOMEONE ANSWER ME FOR SHIT'S SAKE
>>29769299
It went from 1/8192 for previous gens to 1/4096 for Gen 6. Add in the shiny charm, and 1/4096 becomes 1/1024.
Hunting via hordes + shiny charm makes it faster to find a shiny.
Friend Safari was a fixed 1/512, as was Dexnav.
Pokeradar was still the same as it was in DPPt.
Chain-fishing was added and relatively fast. Probably fixed rate as well.
Masuda Method stacked with shiny charm also became 1/512 (I think).

Holy shit, I can't wait for the shiny hunt of this generation. I have no idea why, but this has always been my fave part.
And the balltism, and the cloning and the collecting. Hnnngh.
>>29769595
FUCKING THIS. CHECKED
I saw it's in the game data. Probably just PKHex not updated to the point to get it yet.
Any word on what's Shiny Locked this go round though?
>>29769595
I wouldn't be surprised if the starters and all the legendaries are.
>>29768565
>No shiny charm
It's ok...I didn't want to catch 'em all anyway...
>>29769610
mrnbayoh (dude who did a bunch of work on haxx methods and an always shiny cheat for NTR) did research on the friend safari, dexnav, and chain fishing rates
Friend safari: 1/819, 1/583 with shiny charm
Chain fishing: Every chain adds +2 shiny checks. Chain maxes out at 20+ for a 1/100 shiny rate
DexNav: Shiny rate increases with search level. Chains only increase the shiny rate on the 50th and 100th chains. Every other number in the chain is no different. Shiny charm double-counts.
>>29768565
>Super Training taken out
>Now this
This Gen really screams Injection, doesn't it?
>>29769851
So if I have a search level of over 250 for Poochyena + shiny charm, it shouldn't take too long to get a shiny Pooch?
>>29769233
>Shinies make the game easier
I forgot about that,sorry
>>29769126
remove star
>>29769926
At search level 250 with the shiny charm, you have a 1/280 chance. Pretty good odds

>>29768565
s-surely they just forgot to include it in this version of pkhex
>>29770111
Thank you for that link. I've had no idea how Dexnav works this entire time, other than a shiny can happen at any time.
>>29769233
Are hordes still a thing?
>>29770275
Nope, cut.
>>29769834
MODS
>>29769793
>>29769823
How about someone asks Scires? I would but I don't have a Normietter account and can't be bothered to make one just for that.Please, be the hero shiny hunting autism doesn't deserve, but it needs.
>>29770252
It also generates the shiny along with the rest of the data, like egg moves and level. The game just never tells you. So scaring away a shaking patch could actually potentially scare away a shiny.
>>29769595
Someone put a shiny litten on the GTS
>>29770286
Welp. Gonna have to EV train like it was in past gens then.
>>29769233
the only thing that i'm upset about is that the entire thing was leaked and hacked into before it was even released. remember in XY when trading actually meant something on launch? remember when not everyone could just press a button to get a pokemon? remember when the GTS wasnt flooded with shinies asking for level 1 palkias?
i do

Let me give you my last and most special stamp!
> I’ve got a gift for someone like you, who has taken their Pokédex to the limit! It’s a mysterious charm that will make you more likely to encounter Shiny Pokémon when held!
The Shiny Charm is not gone
>>29770460
Not at all, I recall that type of shit since D/P
>>29770496
XY wasnt hacked for a good 4 months anon
>>29770346
I wouldn't be surprised if it's genned already, considering most people currently with access to the game are the same sort of people with knowledge of PKHex and the likes.
>>29768565
this, on top of the lack of post game will be the reason I go right back to X once I finish the story. might not even transfer over what I have honestly since I've been working towards the charm for months now.
>>29770465
are those in-game lines?
>>29770509
Well as someone who got the game almost half a year after release I didn't experience such thing.

Very last line
OP is a faggot
>>29770595
Nice, also I found this:
>Oh! Thanks, friend! Here, let me give you these in return. They’re Adrenaline Orbs. Don’t you feel like the Pokémon that other Pokémon call to help them in battle are, like, stronger? And even more likely to be Shiny?
>>29770595
Thank fucking god.
Also:
>Oh! Thanks, friend! Here, let me give you these in return. They’re Adrenaline Orbs. Don’t you feel like the Pokémon that other Pokémon call to help them in battle are, like, stronger? And even more likely to be Shiny?
Interesting. No idea what this means though
>>29770729
>>29771123
The Adrenaline Orb is a new item, it's just the Beserk Gene from Gen 2 with a new name.
Does someone have the new shiny animation?
>>29771899
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN3R4Qfe7bU
It's shit.
>>29772727
That's tacky as shit, what the hell.
I was expecting a new animation since it's been tradition for every gen, but this one looks pretty garbage in all honesty. The huge centered star doesn't look good. At all.
>t. autistic shiny hunter
are apricorn balls really back?
post proofs please.
also, how do you obtain pokemon with hidden abilities in sun/moon?
>>29769233
>> exp share nerfed
Huh?
Anyone know how to transfer box data to Moon? Wanted to transfer my living dex but it says the file size/type is invalid
>PKHEX FROM DAY -10

>ill have to shiny hunt my team
WTF NIGGA
