shiny charm and good luck. i cant remember the last time it took more than 5 boxes to hatch a shiny

>>30272399
1000 SRs for Shiny Ho-Oh
Also plan on SRing for shiny Null as soon as I can

Bout 150 into my Mimikyu chain, wish me luck boys.

At least my hand does not hurt from hatching.

Got this dog after around a 150 SOS chain, i'm going to use her in my future Sun run. I'm going to try MM'ing for a Bounsweet or a Starly next.

>colorblind
>can't tell if roggenrola is a shiny or not half of the time

this is torture, does the star at least appear next t othe fuckers name or something?

I heard you only get one of each apricot ball per game. Is this true?

>>30272867

>>30273107
Watch for the shiny stars to appear anon

>>30273169
thanks, is there a sound effect too or am i in the danger zone by multitasking

do ultra beasts count towards the dex for the shiny charm?

tryna go for type: null at the moment ;_;

>>30273230
Yes, but if you are colorblind you should be paying attention

>>30273153
Sweet, is this the lowest chance we've ever gotten for shinies to appear?

>festival plaza tells people how many shiny pokemon you encountered
>I have chained 2 and my number went from 1 to 0

I'm suddenly very annoyed even though most people won't bother checking that stat on people in their plazas.

>>30272915
How many pokemon do you have a pokemon call in to be considered a 'chain'?

Or when someones says chains, do they literally mean 'the SoS fight I did called in 150 pokemon'?

I got really lucky today and caught this pikipek and a yungoose using sos chaining within the same hour! My other SM shinies include a full odds random encounter pichu, a Masuda method mareanie, and a Masuda method litten. My brother chained dewpider for a few hundred encounters, but didn't find a shiny so now I'm trying to hatch him a shiny dewpider.

>approaching 2000 wimpods hatched

Dont give up its worth it in the end

I just hatched a shiny snow warning vulpix in I'd say less than 40 eggs

>>30275818
Holy shit it looks fucking retarded with its little claws retracted

>>30276006
It looks better than just having a bunch of arms for no reason, it just has the 2 big ones.

>>30273230
It's literally a huge star that flashes over them after half a second, if you're paying more than zero attention you can't miss it.

aspergers

They're not shinies, but i want to hatch for Mimikyu already. Does anybody have a Dragonite/Garchomp/Salamence/Metagross/Braviary i can touch trade for? The less time i spend grinding the more time i can spend grinding for a shiny. All i can really offer in return is a Shiny Stone in return, though.

i got one abra shitmon from the japanese and it seems he was so into making them with sinchronize he didnt realize it was shiny.

I put it up for gts and as they are almost the same color no one traded with me, is now sitting in my box as a kadabra.

I finally have my shiny charm. I shall redeem myself, I will reclaim the grubbin I got on citra.

>>30272399
were is aether paradise is gladion who gives you null?

>>30273583
with tauros egg hatching is easier than ever

Thinking about doing Mimikyu for my next hunt. Whats a good ball for the thing? I saw someone with a timer ball one online and thought the effect looked cool

Going for a shiny spidew, got 2 6IV so far only about 4 boxes in.

>>30278433
Heavy? The shiny is kinda gray.

I'm glad I finally got my first shiny in moon (i've been playing since release), but i'm a bit disappointed that my first shiny wasn't a sandshrew, the shiny I was actually hatching for earlier.

>>30278433
Luxury.

>finally get substitute post game
>can actually chain rockruffs with alakazam now without leer/sand attack making shit extra hard or buying a crap ton of guard specs

I'm ready...

what's the chances of an SOS chain of 30+ having their HA?

i don't have trace right now

On average how long does the MM take for you guys to get a shiny with the shiny charm?

>>30279762
Trace only works when the Pokémon with Trace enters the battle
I suggest Skill Swap

Bottle cap my dude

Is running circles around Akala the best place to hatch eggs?

What ev's should I get for my adamant shiny sandshrew?

I just want my shiny axew damn it, why is that too much to ask? I've lost count of how many eggs I've hatched and tears I've cried

>Day 3 of my first shiny breeding session

Is it this insufferable all the time?

>>30281917
Yes. It always is. Until that one rare day where you manage to hatch 2 different species you wanted shiny in under a box each and then it goes back to multiple days and days to get anything worthwhile.

I'm currently hunting Bunnelby in Y with the Pokeradar.This is hell-tier suffering.My chains keep breaking.

>well over 2000 wimpods now
>lost count
>still no shiny
Maybe I should just get the shiny charm? I'm put off right now because that means I'm going to need to soft reset for every single legend and somehow trade for the version exclusive legends / UBs

>shiny hunting for salandit

Is this a bad idea?

>>30282336
Shiny Charm is easier than ever to get, since you only need to fill the Alolan dex.

>>30282600
yes, even with cute charm i got 2 males before a female showed up. it's suffering.

i traded mine to get cosmog/typenull so i had them for my living dex, which means i don't have to play through sun to get them

I'm 20 eggs in, not even a single female yet.

I'm 101 eggs in for shiny Mimikyu. No luck so far. I hope I get a Jolly nature on that bad boy

Working on Sanic the Rockruffhog, and it'll be my first chained shiny.

I have a math question.
If I bring a cute charm Pokémon to do my K.O.'ing, does that narrow the table of possible PIDs, therefore increasing chance of shiny, or am I just bad at logic?

Just thoughts for next time as I didn't have the foresight to think of this before entering the battle.

936 SRs into Type: Null, when will the suicidal thoughts end anons?

What are some shiny Pokemon that look good in the Master Ball?

Can someone explain this SOS chain thing?
I've seen it in Serebii but I'm still kind of confused as to how to start it. How rare is it to catch a shiny using this method?

>>30288829
Right? Why wouldn't they just give him normal tiger colors, or change the red to white and keep the black.

Slowly working towards the shiny charm- is there any way to get magearna yet? Is it even needed for the charm?

>>30289098
Magearna isnt needed, you need to scan the QR code and a guy will give it to you, the QR code will be on the pokemon website starting from the 5th

i've been mming for a shiny rowlet, I really want that shiny.

Fucking just lost the chain when iw went to go get a drink, don't even know what happened.

I'm trying to get a Synchronizer ready for SRing Shiny Type:Null and the first few eggs I got from throwing my Alakazam into the day with a Ditto were Synchronize but the last 10 or so straight have all been Inner Focus. Did they change the way breeding works for abilities now? I should be getting 50/50 split right?

How are you even supposed to read this?

Do you look at them like columns, like Slowpoke can call both Slowpoke AND Slowbro? If so, why are there four different Slowpoke columns?

And all the Pokémon in each column have the same percentages. Are you telling me that one of the Slowpoke have a 1% chance of appearing, with a 1% chance of calling for a Slowpoke and a 1% chance of calling a Slowbro?

I'm in a 100 chain, hunting Pikipek for the story. How long does it usually take? First time hunting in S/M.

Btw I'm coming back to these threads now that the game is out. It's nice to see it alive once again.

Okay so I spent most of the day today breeding Abra's of every fucking nature with Synchronize for future use and getting ready to SR for shiny Type:Null with Adamant nature.

Happened first try. Not even fucking joking holy shit.

>>30295407
I'm currently at 1068 SRs. I hope you fucking die of joy u cunt

>Caught Pikipek after a chain of around 130
>Was training Type: Null
>Ran out of moves and pondered to gtfo
>Elixir it, change to Parasect to change calling bird
>Next Pikipek was shiny

I almost fucked up because Pikipek is nearly guaranteed to call and it could get poisoned from effect spore.

Also the nature was Modest

>>30295437
I'm sorry man. I genuinely prepared to do this for a week or more and nearly dropped my 3DS when I realized the tail was the wrong color as it got added to the Pokedex. I hope you get yours soon.

Who at gamefreak decided some eggmoves could only be given by transfer mons. The majority of Salandit's eggmoves can't be gotten yet.

>>30295675
i got lucky with bruxish egg moves. you can catch sharpedo on the 4th island

>>30271900
I feel really bad about all these reject salandits. They're all fucking useless, because they male.

I never expected to say that ever in my entire life

>>30295675
Why would they program the game with a two month roadblock in mind, instead of programming it as they did so they have minimal effort to expend in the next few years of it's life?

>>30295650
Yes. They have a similar shine animation to their badge for shiny status.

>>30295323
None, my smeargle refresh combo worked perfectly. Mimikyu had been the worst so far die to charm and it's ability

>>30295831
Recycle, why the fuck do I keep saying refresh

>>30295831
Yasee, My strategy involves getting the other one down to red health because it seems to make them call faster so i switch pokemon around alot and i use false swipe and KO any one iv had up for two long to make sure they dont struggle die.

I've heard complaining here works.

Wish me luck on my first hunt, Anons.

>>30295970
Assuming you don't have shiny charm, that's not very surprising. Even with shiny charm, that's still not a lot of SRs.

Why the fuck do these level 18 Stufful keep outspeeding my level 60+ pokemon? I've had three chains broken now due to them using fucking brutal swing on each other.

sos-chaining for cutiefly.

i have shiny charm.

ive killed over 1000 cutiefly. lost track around there.

it's not like either party is using any sort of priority move, there's no reason why Trop Kick from a level 65 Tsareena should move after a Brutal Swing from a level 18 Stufful.

Going for rockruff, since there are very few gen VII shinies I like.

Sand Attack...


Why?

>>30297564
I feel for you.
I'm using a Carbink I randomly got from Poke Pelago and a Keen Eye Braviary to fight them myself.

>>30297564
You don't know hell until drifloon chaining

can't false swipe, they know minimize

>>30297610

need to grab some more leftovers too, they're just too useful to not have on my whole team when chaining.

>>30297675

not a fan of driftloon's shiny, so I doubt I'll have that problem.

you have my sympathies though.

Just found my first ever shiny and I've been playing since gen 1

Random diglett in moon. Has the shiny encounter rate gone up or have I just finally found one with the regular odds?

i believe the odds are 1 in 682, at least without charm

so i'd say soon

>>30298638
Soon. 6 * 30 + 2 = 182. That's pretty early, even with shiny charm which would bring MM to about 1/512.

Where's the best route/city to hatch eggs?

You lucky bastard, I'm not sure how many more thousands of eggs I'm going to have to go through to get the shiny I want at this point.

>>30299080

dude, as far as I'm concerned, shinies are the best method of teaching people to love their pokemon regardless of stats.

Played all the way up to the elite four then started over so I could soft reset for a shiny rowlet, I figure since I know what's ahead of me I'm less likely to give up. Wish me luck lads.

it was the first egg laid after i got done giving away love ball pyukumuku's in another thread. thought i'd be here all night again so i wasn't looking at my screen at all, so when i glanced back my heart skipped a beat.

>>30299634
battle tree but for some stupid reason you need to hatch 20 eggs

>>30299634
After hatching at least 20 eggs, talk to the guy in the Battle Tree, then he fucks off forever but you unlock the ability to check IVs in the PC

>>30299763
12 boxes btw. no shiny charm.

>>30297799
1/8000~ in Gen 3-5

1/4000~ in Gen 6-7

So, your odds were slightly higher, but still rare enough that most people certainly wont just encounter a Shiny a week into the game. Congrats!

>>30299123
I just successfully chained mine after 200 eggs, you bastard. What nature/IVs did you get?

Its not perfect, but at least it's 31/31/2/31/18/31 and naive, so it can sweep just fine. Not like it would take hits outside its ability anyway.

What's the chance of finding shinies using Masuda Method and SOS chaining with the Shiny Charm now? Has it changed for MM?

>>30299663
I know autism is a running joke here but you really are earning the title right now.

Boo fucking hoo, your fault for believing a random picture on the internet.

The only thing missing is you asking if Type: Null is shiny locked.

Okay I've been chaining for like six hours and like 3 of my chains have ended prematurely in the pokemon using struggle. This doesn't effect anything right? I'm still trying to understand how the probability works when doing this.

First time ever Masuda Methoding, I'm officially over 800 Dhelmise hatched and still no Shiny in sight. It's getting to the point you forget there's a game outside of running in a circle around some girl making anchor babies.

I've been there, my dude. Never did get a HA shiny Goomy.
>tfw I really really want to MM a female shiny Salandit with Oblivious
Why do I always choose the hard ones.

hey I am not trying to chain shinies yet, but I am trying to catch a Salamence, so I imagine the same rules apply.

My question is does switching over break the chain? say if the wild Bagon calls for help, can I kill the one that called and continue the chain with the new one that just came? If so, when is the best time to switch over?

>>30303261
As long as the help is part of the same evolutionary family, then no, it won't break the chain.

Another weekend goes by, still no Popplio.

See you guys next weekend, still with no Popplio.

I'll probably be here in 15 days, still without Popplio.

Miltank won't be a fun shiny to hunt for, will it?
