Pyukumuku is underrated. I use them with both Innards Out and Unaware and they actually do pretty well in OU.
>>30875398
You should've caught the shiny and then get a HA one from either /pkx/ or /wfg/
>>30875398
It's somehow GF's fault you're a retard?
Bet you complained about the EXP Share too because you lacked the self control to turn it off

>faint a shiny for the sake of the far less rare hidden ability
People who already have HA Pyukumuku could breed and trade you an infinite amount of them, you fucking tard.
>>30876036
Yep I have a bunch of HA Pyuku, would happily have traded 5IV for a pickle. Get Fukt OP

Pick 1?
>fainting a Shiny for the sake of HA
Super lame. Everyone catches the shiny and then just starts the chain over
>>30876275
This.
OP was a complete retard.
>>30875398
>Stuggles to death at a chain of 20
This is literally impossible. Wild Pyukumuku have at least 70-80 PP.
Troll harder.

Does Innards Out hit through substitutes?

>>30875398
you should have catched the shiny or, at least, changed the summoner after 10 or 20 moves

I just want to fill mt Pokédex, fuck off Goddamn you.
I don't really mind SOS battles for stuff like catching rarer things, or guaranteeing good IVs, or EV training or whatever, but being the only way to get a HA is too much. Especially when it's a 5% to call in the one you're looking for, and at best a 15% chance for them to have their HA.
I spent about 20 hours chaining for Gabites in the desert and never found rough skin. Then threw the castform I did catch (of the 3 I saw in those 20 hours) on the GTS for a gible and it came with rough skin. It sucks when I have better odds of getting HA pokemon on the GTS than chaining in sandstorms, and it's far faster too.

Eh. Hidden abilities have come through:
>Dream World
>Hidden Grottos
>Friend Safari
>Dexnav
>SOS Chains
In terms of in-game accessibility, SOS chains are more controllable than Hidden Grottos, losing out only to Dexnav. Dream World was gimmicky bullshit, and, while Friend Safari was cool in concept, you ended up having to go online and find people, rather than benefiting from your actual friends.
