I absolutely despise the random "X landed a crit so it would be praised !" shit, I just encountered my very first shiny (It was the exeggutor that attack Lillie when you get into exeggutor island, I even thought it was a story shiny at first) and, of fucking course, Mimikyu crit him for a billion damage with a non effective move just because I rubbed his stupid face in refresh a few times
Needless to say I released the fucker and I think might be triggered by alolan exeggutor for life now
>ever touching a shiny with any kind of attack that's not false swipe or hold back
>not throwing a master/timer balls
Anon...the fuck were you thinking?
>hitting a shiny
>>31313647
You have a chance of getting a crit all the fucking time, so why would you risk it?
>Needless to say I released the fucker
You did the right thing
>>31313647
>use toxic-venoshock combo
>that message pips up a billion times
JUST
>>31313668
>>31313672
>>31313686
Don't rub my shame in my face anons, I know I'm retarded but I wasn't thinking straight at the time and I thought there would be no way a double non effective move would ever kill him, well guess a double non effective crit fucking did
>>31313709
I doubt I would have been able to look at him again without being reminded of that moment so it was probably for the best yeah
>>31313647
>not having a false swiper on your team AT ALL TIMES
>not just using a quick ball at the start of the fight
>not just using your master ball
>>31313791
I mean i'm not trying to. Hell gladion literally gives you a masterball beforehand.
>>31313796
>what is balltism
>>31313796
>>31313811
That's a bad habit of mine, I pretty much never uses the masterball in any game since I can usually just reset the fight and try again. Obviously I can't do that with a shiny but this shitty habit made me not even consider using it
>>31313647
>Needless to say I released the fucker
>Mimikyu loved you and was just doing its best to please you and will never understand why you had to get rid of them
You're a monster OP
Mimikyu didn't do anything thing wrong, you fucked up OP.
>>31313647
Do you want me to make you one?
>releasing a perfect friend like Mimikyu over some doofy looking tree
Fuck you, OP.
>>31313647
which drug is each of exeggutors heads using?
>>31313647
>Needless to say I released the fucker
fuck you man. That poor little bastard just wanted your love.
In this case I would inject a replacement. Finding the shiny is the hard part.
Just inject an exact replacement of it and tell yourself you caught it.
>>31313647
>Needless to say I released the fucker
If you didn't like mimikyu anymore you should have given it to me or any other anon
>>31313791
It just pops up whenever you crit, even though it has a higher crit chance it could have crit regardless of if you used refresh, you just goofed
>>31313647
are you french?
>>31314000
Spend 10 minutes in wondertrade and you'll have a mimikyu or two.
>>31314025
i alredy have 2
i just think mimikyu didn't deserve that
>>31313647
>not having false swiper on team
>not just spamming balls on shiny
>not using status effects
>releasing pokemon that did what you told
worse kind of trainer
>>31314020
I am, what gave it away ?
>>31313883
It's fine, I missed my chance so I'll live with it
I'm salty about it because it was my first shiny,
I'm not sure I would have even used him otherwise
>>31313966
Fuxk off
>>31314084
Exeggutor has Wood Hammer though. Best hope is to chuck balls.
>>31314086
Space before ? And !
I've never heard of any other country or group of people doing that 2bh.
(Different anon, btw)
>>31313647
>false
>swipe
What's the reason behind not being able to catch pokemon that have fainted?
By all logical stand points catching a pokemon that is not conscious would be easier.
>>31314248
thats rape anon
>>31313647
>releasing your friend helping you
Scum. Shinies are worthless, especially how easy they are to get anymore.
Don't listen to everyone, OP. You did good by releasing that Mimikyu.
>All these faggots triggered OP released "m-muh cute pikaclone that only wants a friend"
Pathetic. Mimikyufags are the cancer that's killing this board.
why not use that munchlax with hold back the game gives to you?
>>31314290
I don't care if the thing was a damn Rattata or Lucario, never release your friends.
>>31314231
Never noticed that was a french thing to do, but now that you mention it's true I don't recall
ever seeing other people put a space before ?!
>>31314297
I only use alolan pokemons for the main story, I don't like using non region-specific mons of the game I'm playing
besides, as has already been said by another anon exeggutor has wood hammer
>>31313647
How on earth did you kill it? Of course it was your first shiny, not knowing the use of your weakest pokemon to catch it is mandatory. You're an idiot OP.
>>31313647
>attacking a shiny when you're unprepared
>>31313647

>thinking it's not stupid in the slightest to release a perfectly good pokémon over a fucking tree
Tree fucker pls
>>31313647
Really sorry to hear that anon, I've lost a few shinies that way. I feel your rage.
Nowadays unless I have a false swiper on the team I never even touch a shiny and instead just paralyze it/put it to sleep and throw a Quick ball followed by Ultra then Timer balls until the little shit gets in.
Exceptions to this are mons with absurdly low catch rates of course, in which a False Swiper is mandatory (otherwise hope for no crits with weaker moves).
>>31315635
And when I mean throw a Quick Ball, throw it on the first turn of battle otherwise its basically a Pokeball
>>31313647
>Needless to say I released the fucker
Holy fuck you're the worst kind of scum on this fucking planet.
YOU were the fucking retard who used Refresh. YOU were the fucking retard who attacked a Shiny. Everything was YOUR fucking fault.
Mimikyu just wanted to be praised. It fought for you many, many times. It helped you through your journey and got you where you were. But you release that Pokemon, the one who loved, for a fucking wild Pokemon who would act as nothing but a useless trophy for you, all because YOU fucked up.
You don't deserve a shiny. I'm happy that Mimikyu won't have to be with an actual piece of shit like you anymore, and I'm sad for the rest of the Pokemon that have to put up with you.
>>31313647
>you released it
Absolutely based and absolutely right
>>31315730
Hmmmmm
>>31314248
Pokeballs need the mon conscious to "imprint" you.
>>31313647
Which move did you use, anon? Mimikyu has a lot of trouble OHKO'ing Exeggutor with anything other than Play Rough on a crit, unless you're several levels higher.
In which case, why the fuck did you risk using its strongest move? If you see a shiny, you bring out your False Swiper, inflict paralysis/sleep, or just start throwing balls. Or use the absolute weakest moves on your party, preferably NVE moves, and preferably after checking that the Pokémon does not have any suicide moves. Since Exeggutor has Wood Hammer I'd just refrain from attacking it alltogether.
>>31313668
for once one of these gay comics was funny
>>31316029

Most Pokemon comics are shit but these are consistently good
>>31313647

Asleep Pokemon are still conscious. They can hear and respond to their Trainers, and use moves like Sleep Talk or Snore.
Fainted Pokemon are not.
My headcanon is that Poke Balls just don't work on fainted Pokemon.
>>31313831
>Being this pathetic.
>>31313647
Damn.
Tough shit anon.
I've had this happen a lot while trying to fill my dex. Shit sucks.
>>31313668
What about a Shiny Ghost Pokemon?
>>31314248
Fainted Pokemon disappear into the grass from whence they came.
You cant catch them anymore than you could dump a bag of Duskballs on the ground and expect to catch things or throw Dive Balls at a lake.
>>31314175
He's not wrong though. Injection is the best way to handle RNG fucking
>>31313791
How fucking overleveled do you have to be to kill with a 4X resisted hit?
Even on crit, it till only deals 3/8th of the base damage
>>31318161
Thats why Pangoro exists.
Im still pissed they didnt make Hold Back a fairy move
>>31313791
I released my Emerald Combusken for getting a critical peck on a shiny Barboach.

It doesn't increase your crit rate, it just makes that message display when it lands a crit.

Pangoro or catch a Growlithe in Melemele pre bank
