That graph just means the likelihood of those Pokemon spawning on your island past those story intervals.

Is there a known percentage of Pokemon who choose to stay, at least? That would make me feel more comfortable. I'd probably guess about 30% myself, but I'm just pulling numbers out of the air.

You can soft reset for it to stay tomorrow. Just make sure you've saved before entering Pelago and keep resetting until it stays.
>>
>>31602858
Wait, really? So what do I have to do, save now, don't play until tomorrow morning, then reset if I see that it fled and keep doing that until it stays? Wish I had known that when I got a shiny Zubat to spawn.
>>
So I have a question, I get how the magicarp method works, what i don't get is the point of it. Could a kind anon explain it to me? The point of using it over regular breeding that is.
>>
>>31603004
Magikarp only takes roughly 1k steps to hatch, while most others take between 5k-10k. You go through eggs much faster with the karp method. Think of it as an always-active, super-overpowered Hatching O-Power.
>>
>>31601906
>What are you hunting?
Mimikyu

>How
MM with charm

>Last shiny?
dhelmise

>Favourite shiny?
For gen 7, mimikyu.
Overall I'd say a tie between mimikyu, aegislash, and butterfree.
>>
>>31603047
Thankyou so much anon, I may start using the method now lol.
>>
>>31602910
Quick disclaimer, I've never actually tried this, but yes this is what people have been saying.

You can keep playing normally otherwise. If you check on it tomorrow and it's not there, reset until it is. Only way to screw it up is if you save after you've already checked and it wasn't there.

If you want to be really safe you can save every time before you go into Pelago I guess.
>>
>>31603071
No problem. Just remember to never save while owning any unhatched eggs, and to always take out the Magikarp parent once you receive your 30th egg. And if you really want, you can even do what I did and breed a 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 IV Magikarp so that you can see at a glance which stats the offspring will inherit and from which parent. It's incredibly useful. Which is ironic because I named him King Useless.

>>31603082
Alright, thanks for the tip. I'm a bit nervous, but I'll trust you and try it out tomorrow.

>never save while owning any unhatched eggs, and to always take out the Magikarp parent once you receive your 30th egg

Why does this matter? If I reset without hatching them, it shouldn't affect what seeds are passed to the previous Pokemon. If you reset with extra eggs you just never know what's in them. Or am I missing something?
>>
>>31603132
>>31603768
Oh wait, it's never save. Can't read. But that still shouldn't matter, those rolls have already been done so it shouldn't effect the next batch of eggs

That I'm unsure of. I'll probably be using a timerball when I go for one myself but I don't really know what balltism recommendations people have.

Timer's a good choice
I typically default to Premier if the shiny is red and no other ball fits

Currently on my first SOS run for a pichu/pikachu, around 130 or so. Absolutely terrified I will miss it since it looks almost identical.

Then again, I have yet to see a single shiny beyond red gyarados is 20 years of play, so I doubt I will come across one anyway.

Shiny pichu/pikachu have a lot more intensity in their palette than normal so it's not too hard to see, considering most mons' normal palettes are washed out.

>What are you hunting?
Shiny Gallade or Gardevoir depending on if the ralts that is shiny is either male or female.
>How?
Magikarp method so I can determine which gender the shiny will be so I can swap it for the appropriate natured ralts.
>Last shiny?
Relicanth at 96 boxes total
>Favorite Shiny?
Tsareena, which incidentally was the first shiny I caught in Sun and Moon via SOS method.

If I do get a shiny gallade or gardevoir, what are some of the possible nicknames I could give them? Can't think of any at the moment.
>>
>>31603787
The point is that if you're doing the Magikarp method and you save with unhatched eggs, there's no manipulating them later. If one of them turns out to be the shiny you're looking for, and you saved before hatching it, then congrats, you're stuck with a shiny Magikarp.

Update: Just got back home from work, started up my game, and saw this in my Pelago without even needing to SR.

Some people hunt shinies. I let my shinies come to me.
>>
So I was trying to SOS Drampa before.
Or at least I was until I lost my goddamn mind after like 50 turns, on which only like 2 did it call for help and it didn't arrive.

What am I doing wrong? How can I maximize the odds for calling help?
Because I'm honestly at the verge of just breeding for it.
Anyone have any breedject Drampas you can spare?
>>
>>31608797
Are you me? I tried to do the same thing last week but eventually I ended up MMing for it. Apparently, you can use Pokemon with the ability Unnerve, Pressure and I think Intimidate to make them call more often.
>>
>>31608823
I was using a Granbull with intimidate, used the orb and had a fairy move ready and all that shit. Jack diddily nothing did to help.
Apparently using supereffective moves on the partner also increases the odds, but it's not like I could even try that when nothing ever showed up, could I?
>>
>>31608797
SOSing is a wildcard for me, sometimes I get a shiny within a 100 calls sometimes I spend 3 full chains with nothing
I only do it when I have to ev train in the mean time
Among 15 of my shinies, only 5 came from SOS battles
>>
>>31608797
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/780.shtml

Drampa's SOS rate is rare.

Also I have some spare 4-5V Level Ball Drampa breedjects if you want one. They're Modest, and have Echoed Voice, Mist, Dragon Rush, and Hurricane as egg moves. Will take a breedject of yours in exchange.
>>
>>31608950
Actually I have no breedjects because I almost never breed anything.
I just did it once years ago for an Aron and it was for a friend, shit stats and all.
>>
>>31608990
Don't worry about it, then. Do you want a Drampa or what?
>>
>>31608797
Drampa is one of the absolute worst Pokemon to SOS chain, up there with Dhelmise.
SOS chaining is a good way of getting shinies but not these ones m8.
If you are insistent on using Drampa as your target, I'd advise using Unnerve, Intimidate, but not Pressure.
>>
>>31607801
I went for Gawain on my shiny Gallade (i also have a shiny Bisharp named Mordred)
My friend with a shiny Gardevoir named it Melody.

>>31609008
Well I got into a Charjabug chain shortly after fucking off away from Drampa, and it's still going at around 50.
I might be here for a while so I can't really trade.

>>31609123
I'll be around for the first half of tomorrow, yeah.
>>
>>31609131

I do have a living dex and a good Ditto though, so maybe I can make something outta that.
>>
>>31609131
Not that anon but what would you want for one of those as far as anything you need?
>>
Not sure if this counts as a hunt but on Saturday I spent the day beating Pokémon Red on virtual console so I could get 8f and use the code execution glitch to encounter a Mew and edit it's DVs so it transferred shiny.
Came through bank with 6IVs and a Timid nature.

>>31609175

Does light orb work with raichu? What moveset is best?

just buy a used ds, theyre cheap as hell and will bring you faster shinies. unless youre a gen6-7 fag who doesnt have the patience to hunt with actual odds.
>>
>>31611404
Nah it doesn't. Idk you can go with nasty plot(only Pichu learns it be careful) or just 4 attacks Tbolt Psychic Vswich surf/grass knot
>>
>>31611414
I always considered that but idk. It's not about odds here. I can Masuda method on both at the same time if I wanted but that would be too much of a hassle for me, see I'm more of a casualfag and enjoy breeding while watching anime and movies and handling 2 devices at once would be too much work.

One last Magikarp question: if I want my shiny to have a specific nature, should I give an everstone to the karp? If breeding genderless Pokemon requires skipping an egg to make up for the skipped gender check, it would make sense that passing a nature down from the parent of the shiny I want would require skipping an egg to make up for the skipped nature check

over 1500 spanning 3 games, the true total count was lost sometime after I lost my OR. it started with Y with about 30 boxes into the mix, lost the count to OR since I lost OR itself, and finally got it in Sun after 542 eggs. apparently RNGsus thought that prank was too much even for him so 12 eggs after that porygon was finally hatched, another one popped out, and I was nearly in tears. and that's the story of my longest drought

Anyone else get shinies in clusters?

I have played every game since GS (except RS) and I have had shinies in only 2 games and in a short period of time for each game

In 2 weeks I got (from random encounters) Shiny Ponyta, Drowzee, Lanturn and Tentacruel in HG

In a 2 week period again in X I got from (random encounters) Shiny Durant and Coragunk and then (from MM breeding) a Bold 5IV (Non Atk) Adaptability Feebas

Apparently I ran out of Leftovers to stick on bulky pokemon, so I elected to get some more. Apparently, just as I'm about to Thief the last Muchlax (using 5 Butterfrees with Thief), it summons shiny. Unfortunately, it might be hard to distinguish in the picture, but it helps to have the non-shiny adjacent for comparison. It's my second ever (and incidentally encountered) shiny in Moon. On a different note, it was unusually fortuitous that the first shiny I got was smeargle, because I basically raised it optimally to tackle the task of completing the alola pokedex.

SOS chaining magikarps with shiny charm..

How futile is SOS chaining for shinies anyway? Am I better off breeding?
>>
>>31627006
You'd be stuck with a shiny that has a shit nature

And even if you use Synchronize, it's a 50/50 shot. Better off breeding

Thank you. Caught a HA magikarp in a beast ball and proceeded to breed the shit out of it. Wish me luck.

What's this about MM being nerfed due to the bank update? Is this confirmed?
>>
>>31627006
It's way easier to get the shiny but you need to synchronize it. If you don't want the tedium of collecting eggs or simply don't have the time to collect 800 eggs for a shiny, it's way better in every way. Otherwise if you do have the patience, breeding produces one more perfect IV (with the right parents) and has the desired nature, so it's better there.
>>
So I have two 5IV parents, and a destiny knot. How do I guarantee that the resulting (soon-to-hatch) shiny has the correct IVs? (perfect 5IV, including attack but not special attack)
>>
>>31629050
Do both parents have all 5 IVs in everything but special attack? Put an Everstone on the parent you want to pass on the nature and the other parent gets the destiny knot. Even then though the offspring may not be perfect, knot only passes on 5 IVs and the 6th is random.
>>
>>31629347
Yes, they both have perfect 5IV, something else in special attack. Yet the babies are still not identical to them. Am I doing something wrong?
>>
>>31629460
If you've got the correct items on the parents then it's really up to luck. Having at least 4 correct IVs is normal.

Just got this shiny squirtle off wondertrade after trading off my excess ralts. Same 6IV garbage with leftovers. My heart dropped when I saw the slight change in color only to be disappointed. It's like winning the lottery, only to find out your winning ticket is fake and can't turn it in (aka using it online) 'sigh' Another shiny to condemn to the trash. I already have completed my pokedex so I don't need anything and just sending it off to someone else doesn't fix the problem.
>>
>>31628857

>MM nerfed due to bank

It isn't.

Some believe it is nerfed xompared to previous games where it rolled every egg.
>>
>>31629625

Full IV squirtle isn't that unbelievable. Your are pretty much guaranteed a 5 iv one, 6 is just 1 on 32 odds.

I don't disagree but still your points are faulty
>>
>>31629766
My points become valid when you consider how he got it. Who'd go through all that just to WT it away?
Sure, my 6IV 100lvl best nature specs Primarina might be legit, but I doubt it.
>>
>>31629766
Regardless, I've already thrown it out. If somethings too good to be true, it usually is. The one thing that's worse than no shiny is one that someone genned in in less than 5 minutes. Also when you consider the global link challenge is trading and I got the shiny genesect and squirtle in less than 24 hours, I think people are just giving them away to get closer to the goal of 1 million.

Just spent two days of bootstrapping and arbitrary code abuse in Blue to get several shinies moved up to Sun.

Got Pikachu, Kabuto, gift Eevee, Charizard, Persian, Nidoking, Ponyta, and Rapidash (Pika was used as a sacrifice to make sure it went through 100% okay)

>>31630578
Is there something about Alolan Vulpix that makes it such a bitch to hatch as shiny or something? I got my shiny Roggenrola in less than 30 eggs, but my Alolan Vulpix is taking just as long as my Drought one did. I'm only on Box 7, but man, something about me and Vulpix in general do not mesh well.

I liked the fact that it rolled every egg. I bought Bank just, and I've apparently hatched 1800 eggs on my shiny Salazzle (my only SM shiny). I kinda like the anchor, I guess.
>>
>>31631552
I'll race you. I already have a head start but the dice can roll either way for us.

>>31631593
I'll look up some movesets, I've never used him. Plus I'd like a fresh shiny to start my Sun game with.
>>
>>31631695
It can be used as a utilitymon with Rapid Spin or a physcial attacker with triple STAB. Keep in mind that its Speed is shit so Gyro Ball is very good on it. Power Whip, Anchor Shot and Shadow Claw are good moves to go through the game with, and you can give it EQ later on. Impish, Relaxed, Brave and Adamant are good natures.
>>
>>31630937
I don't know, man. I started Karping because of how similar it is to it's regular palette. I think this is punishment for me getting a shiny Pikipek in 9 eggs.
>>

If you're saying this because you're worried about shiny hunting becoming a circlejerk, then I need to remind you that /shw/ is an even bigger one than this. Those guys have secret chatrooms up and have movie chats completely unrelated to Pokemon, all under the guise of "passing time hunting" when over half the people there aren't even hunting for anything. It's become even worse, since it's become a hugbox for something completely unrelated to the original subject.

Haven't bothered with either /shg/ or /shw/ since I don't care about shinies, just saying what I've seen when browsing threads. You guys need to take a good look at yourselves.

I'm currently 6 full boxes into Magikarp hatching. Meanwhile people are reporting shinies after 30 eggs or less.

Fug my luck.

Ever since Bank came out I swear my shiny charm just doesn't fucking work anymore. 9 boxes of Claunchers and not one of them shiny. But before Bank came out, I was getting shiny left and right.

I can't accept that my luck just ran out before I was able to get actually decent shiny pokemon.

So with pokebank open, and lots of pokemon available, I am really tempted to wipe my Moon save and play over.

I figure I can make a living dex for moon in the bank, drop it into my game at the start and get a Shiny charm as soon as possible.
