Have you checked your poke pelago today?
There might be a nice surprise waiting for you

>>30214346
Are the shiny rates higher for pokemon visiting that island?

>>30214392
I don't think so (haven't seen it mentioned anywhere) but this is my first shiny so far and I don't even have the shiny charm so it's possible

>>30214346
hopefully it stays

Hunting for a shiny Wimpod.
Currently at 130 ish eggs hatched with foreign ditto and native Wimpod. No shiny charm tho.

Just got this cutie after two chains

working on getting a red gyrados
not sure which is more time consuming through, breeding for a golden fish or fishing for a golden fish

I saw something awhile back about only getting 5 eggs then soft resetting until you get a shiny. Can someone please elaborate?

>>30214591
Are you literally me? Same amount of eggs, same situation.

Wish you luck.

>>30214677
the personality values are already determined once the egg is """ready""""
but what im curious about is if you take the required number of steps or just save halfway through, when you hatch the egg and it's not shiny cant you just reset and try again?

>>30214677

that's retarded

I just fill up 3-5 boxes with eggs, then spend time hatching them

hunting for a Net Ball Aqua Jet Wimpod atm btw. If anyone wants a leftover hit me up, I have a fuck ton

Was just about to make a thread. Not hunting anything because i have no charm in SM. No point bothering to get it when i'll just reset the game once bank comes out and then get a living dex. So i'm just working on getting all the gen 7 pokemon

>>30214766
If it hatches not shiny, it'll never be shiny for you. If you trade it it might shine for them.

>>30215116
Somebody said if you keep poke beans in the crate for the entire time it's there, it'll be guaranteed to stay. No confirmation though

>>30215161
I ko'd something like 400 in total

What is the deal with this Poke Pelago shit?

Do I just put beans in the crate and wait for wild Pokemon to show up?

>>30215191
You get the charm from the Alola dex though

Well I have one shiny nightruff and 3 shiny rockruffs....not a single one of them had they hidden ability for no guard.

>>30215242
I wont catch anything that isn't brand new gen 7 pokemon. There's like 300 or some, and only 70 or so are needed for my living dex.

>>30215310
Why do you have to reset the game to finish your pokedex? Are you stupid?

>>30215358
I was going to do another playthrough once Bank comes out. There's not much point in getting the charm until then for me. I'll just shiny hunt in gen 6 until then

I heard i could get a salamence from sos but i got a shiny Bagon instead. Pretty sweet famm.

Soft resetting for a shiny Type: Null currently. I just started the post game and wanted to change my team around with Silvally being one of my team members. 1413 SRs in so far, with Shiny Charm.

Good luck to everyone trying to get a shiny today.

First shiny I've gone out of my way to hunt and the first shiny I've ever hatched. I wish these fucks just called for help like everyone else.

Hyper training here I come

who /spends 5 mins squinting at the screen to try and figure out if the pikipek is a shiny/ here?

Who /just pays attention to the shiny animation like a normal human being/ here?

>>30216459
do you have bad eyes? I got one today without wanting it and noticed right away

>>30216569
I must do i really cant see the difference on screen.

What chances do you get for breeding a shiny with matsuda but without the shiny charm?

>>30215427
>level 18
You're on the wrong Bagon spawn lmao

Is Type: Null shiny locked?

>>30217229
No

I hunted for a Metagross in XY, so now I'm MMing for a beldum in a beast ball, I'm 5 boxes in now with no shiny charm yet

MM'ing Litten for the GF. at my 12th box atm.

imn 700 deep on cutiefly and im at my witz end boys

i got this little guy at around 100 though, so that aint bad

>>30217035
I THINK its 6/4092 but I might be wrong.

Since there's no national dex, do we get the shiny charm after you finish the alolan dex?

I'm like 40% done and I already wanna kms because of how shit leveling is in this game.

Been going between MMing Rowlet and chaining Mimikyu. Only up to 5 boxes of Rowlets so far.

>>30217413
So its 1/682

Then it's time for my first SR hunt without the Shiny Charm.

>>30217485
>tfw shortly after that post i found my shiny
>but it was Water Absorb

>>30217544
Just use an ability capsule, they're 100 BP at the Royal Avenue

>>30217607
>implying i can get wooper in SM without cheating

Besides, you want Unaware. I love how the ability capsule exists but nearly every time it'd be useful, it doesn't work.

>>30217436
yes

Can I get the shiny charm by seeing all Pokémon or do I have to catch them all?

>>30218301
catch them all. there's only like 300 though and you shouldve caught over 150 if you've been catching everything you encounter throughout the story

>>30218362
Yeah, I got a bro to help with moon exclusives too.

>>30217035
shiny charm doesnt effect the matsuda method

and iirc it's roughly 1/180~ Gotten a shiny in 5 eggs once, max for me has been 600~

just caught this thing

first ever random shiny encounter, my virginity has been taken

>>30219092
Everything you said is wrong, the charm does affect it, its not one in 180, and its the masuda method not the matsuda method.

>>30219092
How'd you end up this wrong

700 Bounsweet in.

I wonder if shiny Bounsweet even exist. I don't understand how it's so easy for others but its taken nearly 20 hours of nonstop chaining to get for me.

Is this a normal shiny hunting feeling?

Went for Shiny Bagon for hours, accidentally struggled at one point and lost the chain.
THAT is actual hurt.

>>30219387
last gen had masuda method and a shiny charm hatching for a shiny swirlix
took ~1200 eggs
hang in there.

>>30219387
It's all luck, got mine in 2 chains with 400 Bounsweet out

Found this bad boy just before I went to uni. It was one of those pieces of grass that runs at you. It has hustle and an adamant nature. I'm not sure if I want to use it though

Just caught myself a Shiny Grubbin after 300+ SOS encounters. What EVs should I give it?

And now you can learn the hidden truth of Shiny Hunting.
After you find one, the floodgate opens and you start finding them everywhere.
Once you pop, the fun don't stop.
We've never been able to explain this phenomenon.

>>30219793
You do.

>>30220309
do this and run from every non shiny and you'll get it. do it in gen 6

>>30220341
how about gen 7

>>30220196
what the fuck is this

>>30220383
To use the Masuda Method get a ditto from a different language and breed it with one of your pokemon, the odds of one of the eggs is about 1/600 or so, so expect to hatch about 20 boxes of eggs, or more.

Otherwise, if you keep knocking out pokemon that get summoned then eventually your chances of a shiny go up

>>30220383

>>30214151
I've been chaining salandit. The rhythm is harder than previous chaining methods, especially if you switch callers every 20 calls like I do. It gets harder when you're me and you're using a cute charm sylveon to chain for salandit purposes.

>>30214151
i got my shiny vulpix after about ~50

>>30220511
Use substitute and lefties/shell bell if the mons you're chaining are low level.

>>30220646
please share your RNG luck with the class anon

>>30220511
exactly 1hp? and how many years on average until first shiny

also why is there no more chain fishing

What do you guys do to get rid of breeding leftovers when MMing? Because all 8 of my boxes are full now and I dont know what to do with this Wimpod legion.

>>30221551

Wonder Trade brah. It's mostly cancer, but you have a decent chance of getting somebody else's solid leftovers

>>30221035
1hp is the best odds. Don't status anything until the shiny comes, then status the shiny so it wont call for help

>>30214120
I got a shiny minior while I was hatching them. I named it Mason Dead.

I have been chaining Pichu. I'm at 100 or so, I wasn't even planning on chaining, I just wanted a Pichu for the dex. Now I'm not gonna stop until I get a shiny one.

WHERE IS MY SHINY POPPLIO

I am at Solgaleo. Wondering if soft resetting and restarting will eventually land me a shiny?

>>30223538
No. Shiny locked.

>>30223538
No, The Tapus, UBs and Legendaries are shiny locked

>>30223593
What does that mean?

>>30223637
>>30223593
>>30223641
Like I see the definition on Serebii but then if you look at Solgaleo, there's a shiny version. So there has to be a way to get it.

>>30223730
There isn't any way to get it. The shinies are there in case they want to distribute them as events later on.

>>30223730
Most legends these days are shiny locked. They can never be shiny in regular gameplay.

Usually this means they will have an event with a shiny version down the track. They lock them so these event shinies are special.

>>30223807
>>30223838
Ah all right, thanks.

>>30223872
Should note while you're here that Type: Null is not shiny locked.

Cosmogg is.

found a great shiny cleffa halfway through the game, hatched a shiny toxapex yesterday with awful stats/nature

clefable single-handedly carried me through the elite four

I think I'll go for shiny chansey next

>>30220554
