I WANT TO GET OFF THIS RIDE REEEEEE.

Actual question :

Should I get a 3DS+OR and hunt on two systems or should I just spend my money on another game (I was thinking about Poochy and Yoshi's Wooly World +Poochy amiibo set)

Just got a shiny mimikyu when I was breeding. Good IVs too. The only problem now is that the ball does not match.

It depends, are you going to use the 3DS for anything else after you're done hunting? If not, get Yoshi, fun game.

I fucked up, badly. The Ttar is set in stone the moment you first encounter it, meaning i have to do the leadup to Ttar without the fastest team i could manage, two Kyogre spamming water spout. If I want to reset for it, i have to do it without traded pokemon.

But, there's fucking nothing for options before you can trade. Every possibility i can think of for ending all the fights as fast as possible gets cockblocked by some obscure thing. Every possibility i can think of can't reliably 1shot everything, even though some of them would be 50+ levels lower. I'll be going from having 7 turn runs to 14 turn runs.

I'm at a loss, i have to spend the weekend playing the game through again and grinding to level 100, and nothing i have access to can 1shot everything. Even my Kyogres couldn't reliably 1shot Slowking

A Kirlia teleported away, and a Geodude blew up on me once
>>
>>32375094
I'm thinking the first 3 fights i use Banded EQ from Metagross, and Return from Forretress, and on the 4th one Explosion from Forretress. Fifth and final fights, Explosion+EQ, followed by switching in Raikou to finish it up.

Why the fuck does the trade machine have to be accessible after Ttar?
>>
>>32374864
>>32374878
I like that. Too bad Ive never been motivated to SH outside hoping one of the eggs I bread was a shiny when looking for a good nature
>>
>>32375148
The trade machine is after almost every Pokemon, you just have shit luck by choosing one of the few that is not only difficult to catch, but also prefaced by a very hard battle.

Good luck, don't kill yourself.

It's not that the fights are hard, I can just powerlevel beforehand. It's that i'm going from a 7 turn run, to a 9 turn run on average. At my absolute fastest with double Kyogres, it took 14:35 to do a single reset. Now i'm looking at maybe 17-18 minutes per reset.

But, it's the only final boss in the entire series where you can steal their ace AND have it be shiny. I'm going to have to reset the game entirely and get an optimal nature/iv Raikou. Metagross will be good enough to not need it. I need to hope for a couple things, that Nascour doesn't have Dusclops out when my Forretress explodes, and that he doesn't have Xatu out when I Earthquake. As for Evice, I have to hope he doesn't lead with Salamence.

I got a second Vital Spirit Rockruff, so I switched it for a Sigilyph.
>Ever failed to get a shiny?
Yes, twice. I ran away from a Shiny Dusclops in the Friend Safari while I wasn't looking and a Shiny Trumbeak just after I got the charm this gen. I've reclaimed them both, though.

Possible stupid question but is an egg determined to be shiny upon receiving it or actually hatching it?

upon receiving
>>
>>32376547
Upon receiving it, the pokemon inside is already generated

>>32376582
Makes sense. Thanks.

Debating whether or not I should really go for Evice's Tyranitar, or take the vastly easier option of Gonzap's Skarmory. It'd be far quicker to reset for, and it's still a pokemon from a crime boss. But it wouldn't be nearly as cool as stealing the final boss's pokemon

Shiny female Cutiefly with Sweet Veil. It was the fourth shiny Cutiefly I got in total and it happened less than 20 minutes after the third one.
>ever failed to get a shiny?
Usually by accident, either by KO'ing(via a crit out of nowhere) or just not paying attention.

The most recent fail was when I was fishing for items in Seafolk Village(mainly Bottle Caps). I was watching and listening to random online videos, mainly a news video about a song a group posted online claiming it to be a unreleased Nirvana Song they hacked from Courtney Love's computer(this happened less than two years ago. The song was obviously not Nirvana's either). I realized I had fished up a shiny Wailmer just as I tapped the run button during that video.

>Ttar is set in stone the moment you first encounter it
If you fail to snag it, its data and shininess shouldn't be set until you catch it, so you can encounter it again and its data should change.
I believe there's a video by a YouTuber named Togami that explains stuff about shiny hunting in Colo/GoD.

I noticed something was up with Tyranitar after seeing it had 182 HP after catching it a few times in a row, so i noted the stats, and set my clock a day ahead, trying again. The stats were the exact same three times in a row.

Simply put, once you encounter it, the stats and personality values are saved in the shadow pokemon memo or some shit, so that it wont change genders or something. I have no idea why they coded it like this, but either way i'm up shit creek without a paddle. So I'm gonna go for Tyranitar, if i'm resetting in Colo, i'm going for the gold. Briefly thought of Skarmory, but decided that wasn't as rare

I left a comment on one of his videos and got some confirmation of what i had suspected. If there was a cheat to unlock the trade machine early, i'd use it.

What is this magic
>>
>What are you hunting.
Ekans.

>How?
Masuda Method. Honestly I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've gone over 1000 eggs, have the Shiny Charm, a foreign Ditto, and yet haven't had a shiny born. I do have half a box of Adamant perfect IV Ekanses now though.

>Last shiny?
Sandygast, SOS method, 231 encounters.

>Ever failed to get a shiny?
I nearly failed a Carbink once. Was doing SOS, 160-something encounters, forgot to have a Pokemon to paralyze it. It kept calling for help and wouldn't get into a Luxury Ball. Eventually got lucky with a critical capture.
>>
Hunting:
Scyther which will be a Scizor.

How:
Masuda method

Last shiny:
Fraxure in the XY friend safari

Failed:
Last shiny I failed was a Lapras in XY friend safari. I broke one of my shiny hunting rules by not looking into the moveset of a shiny I was hunting. Bastard used perish song on me but I reclaimed it later :)

>>32378967
Catch a shadow pokemon, it has a 1/8192 chance to turn shiny as it enters your party. I'm doing this so I can say "I own Evice's Tyranitar AND it's shiny." It is the only final boss in the entire series with a pokemon that can be shiny, and you can even steal it. It might take me until the end of the decade, but I'm going to fuckin do this.
>>
>>32378973
Raise that little bastard to be a ribbonmaster, too. Ribbonmaster Evice's Tyranitar.

I'm not attacking Ttar, i'm instantly master balling it every time. All Raikou has to do is Tbolt whatever Metagross and Forretress cannot KO. Balltism has to take a back seat. I might just save it for Metagross, it's about as hard to purify, maybe harder.

Oh I absolutely know about the infinite ball glitch, and am VERY thankful it exists. I just wish you got the Master Ball earlier, would have been nice to have when i was resetting for Raikou.

>Although I dont think i can actually manage all 5 contests in gen 3, Emerald's battery is dead.

read up on Mt battle berries, find out what contest condition increases they give, Get 2 of those berries(preferably two that don't raise the same conditions) and clone those berries using emerald. Use one of the berry masters wife rare berries(read up on this too if they're available), preferably one that raises the last condition condition that the Mt battle berries don't raise and clone that as well.

As for the contest just spam rain dance+surf combo till final round then use hyper beam. or just spam hyper beam till you eventually have all 20 contest ribbons.
>>
>>32385645
>Use one of the berry masters wife rare berries

Impossible now, sadly. As for Rain Dance i'm not sure if i can get it in Emerald, but at least i can get it in Colo. I'll have a shitload of those Mt Battle coupons by the end of my grinding though

It was on Emerald.
I never got into Pokémon as a kid but now that I have I'm trying to play all the games.

That's the unfortunate thing about Colosseum and GoD; battles and grinding take forever, and shiny hunting is a pain since the odds are still 1/8192.

If things go well, i'll have Metagross and I'll start grinding my team up today. Metagross/Forretress/Raikou, with maybe a bit of Espeon just in case. I don't see the resets starting until next weekend.

>>32386691
It's essentially THE hardest shiny hunt one could ever do, so I'm going for the gold. Gonna start wishing it was a female Combee instead even though i have one of those

I'm at 690 eggs for a Totodile, just seven over full odds here. The only issue is that i'm running out of space in the PC for all these Totodile, but I guess I can use PokeBank.

I'm so fucking thrilled, i can't believe it. I can't believe I actually have a shiny shadow pokemon. This was just a stupid idea I had for between hunts, I didn't think I'd actually get a shiny out of this, but THERE IT IS! AND it was stolen from the boss of Team Snagem, too!

So in gen 3 is it true that some trainer IDs/ secret IDs have more chances to find shinies or was it just a rumor?
>>
>>32390145
Gen 3's weird with that sort of thing, like how you can get boxes full of shinies in emerald just by finding another shiny, if you stoop to RNGing them. Probably only seems more likely because of the chance of getting an ID combo that makes the shiny frame really close to the fastest startup time after SRing.
>>
>>32390145
I don't know about Gen 3 but it's true with Gen 4, ala the Cute Charm glitch

Nope, fake rumour.

I'm not too sure how to manage contests in gen 3/4 with it though. I can't do berry blending with other people. That and going through battle facilities with a subpar nature seems like it'd be absurdly difficult
>>
>>32392179
I managed through all the contests in emerald with a milotic, so it should certainly be doable, just manage your moves and you'll be fine
>>
>>32392187
The best berries i could ever manage are the Pinch berries in Colo, but even after all this Mt Battle grinding that's gonna be like 100k Poke Coupons
>>
>>32392179
Not to mention if you level it past 50, you'll never get Emerald's Battle Tower ribbons.
>>
>>32392211
yeah it's a bit late for that, especially for Ttar who will be level 55. Can't i just do open level?

>>32392219
You can, yes. I forgot about open level.

It's gonna suck grinding two mons to level 100, but i guess i could just dupe rare candies.

I hope so too. Also, did you breed Gastly with any EMs? If not, then go for the usual 4-move Special set with Dazzling Gleam/Focus Blast, T-Bolt, Sludge Bomb and Shadow Ball.

In most cases, if the Pokemon that was SOS'd is not in the same evolutionary line as the Pokemon that called it, it cannot call for help.

The only exception I can think of is when Oranguru or Passimian calls Trumbeak, which will go on to call more Trumbeak. I think there's another one I'm not thinking of.

MM of course, the only risk you have there is not saving once you get them.
>Last shiny?
Rowlet from MM
>Ever failed to get a shiny?
God have I
My first shiny was a green Marill in Emerald, followed by a green Skarmory later on. It was pretty subliminal with the green coloring kek.
I didn't fail to get them, but they were lost when my battery died before I could transfer them over.
Then I found a shiny Fearow in Pearl that I killed because back then I was like 12 and didn't know why False Swipe was good.
Also I've killed a shiny Oddish in X because I didn't have my swiper for God knows why.

Welp, this may be another shiny fail. Wish me luck.

Fucking clutch crit capture. Taking something with Arena Trap with me for the next one. Last time I went through something like this was my shiny CaveNav Cofagrigus that had Memento, which I did capture.

And Beheeyem is here! 2nd shiny Elgyem came quickly.
>>
Can somebody pray to the shiny gods for me. I have been trying to hatch my shiny mole since the mega stone for medicham was released . im losing my mind will my mole drill ever shine?
>>
>>32400035
Said anon here, got mine earlier also, grats (mine was 21, female). Trying to decide on what to hunt next.
>>
I started MM'ing for a modest shiny mareep and just got one after only 3 boxes.
I'm so fucking hyped I was preped and ready for this to take at least 20 boxes or so.
>>
Just got my shiny Rockruff, my list is now

>Eevee
>Growlithe
>Palossand
>Rockruff

In S&M. Considering Jangmo-o next, anything to watch out for? Sand attack etc?
>>
>>32402614
So it gets Work Up, Screech, Iron Defense and Dragon Claw when you SOS it, and Hakamo-o will have the same moves, but instead of Dragon Claw, it'll have Headbutt. I recommending using a physically bulky Special Attacker.
>>
>>32402614
Actually, Hakamo-o will have Dragon Claw if it gets called in at level 43-44, but otherwise, at level 41 and 42, it'll have Headbutt.
>>
>>32402754
>>32402773
Cheers dude, shouldn't be a problem then
>>
>>32402791
Out of curiosity, what are you planning on using? I may go for it soon since that's one of the last 3 Gen 7 evolutionary lines I have to SOS for (the other 2 being Salandit and Mareanie).
>>
>>32402846
To be honest since it has nothing like roar/teleport/sand attack i'm just using my lvl 96 false swipe Kartana. With an inventory full of leppa berries and hyper potions if I need them
>>
If you're SOS chaining and a pokemon calls a later evolution, does that have the increased shiny chance too?
>>
Just realised it's gonna be impossible(?) I think to shiny chain Jangmo-o. It's only calling later evolutions, so it'll struggle to death soon
>>
>>32402867
Ah. Good luck then.

>>32402877
Yep. It's still part of the chain, and as long as the evolutionary line can call for help, there's still a chance to call a shiny.
>>
>>32402909
There's still a chance that it can call for other Jangmo-o. If you get an Exeggutor with Bestow, a Leppa Berry, Harvest and Skill Swap, you can pretty much have the Jangmo-o infinitely call.
>>
>>32402983
I realised I can just keep the Hakamo-o alive and that'll keep chaining, lower call rate but meh
>>
>hatched shiny beldum
>3 perfect IVS

first drillbur and now this :(

im still going on for another shiny beldum but man that was dumb

it was only after 20 eggs tho so thats nice
>>
>>32403223
>complaining about ivs when hyper training exists.
>>
>>32403234
leveling to 100 takes forever so yah

does poke pelago do leveling quicker?
>>
>>32403223
How the fuck do you hatch a shiny without 5 IVs? Destiny Knot nigga.
>>
>>32403251
Just switch them over to XY and level them there. and yeah, I use poke pelago for the pokemon I dont want to actively train and just shove them in there.
>>
>>32403280
>switch them to XY
Did I miss something? Last I checked you couldn't transfer back from SM to XY.
>>
>>32403293
Oh shit I completely forgot since I dont actually do that. What a retarded mechanic. Poke pelago has been working for me just fine to level mons but Im also playing very passively/barely so I dont mind it taking longer.
>>
>>32403278
shit luck i guess lol

the other beldums were perfect 5 or 6 iv
>>
>>32403293
And I fucking hate that fact so much. Why does GF have to make shit harder for us?
>>
>>32403324
There's literally no luck involved as long as you have a 6IV Ditto, and a 6IV other parent.
>>
>>32403376
i disagree. I got 5 iv but no atk beldums filling up an entire box

luck is literally still a thing

My second shiny Swinub today, but still no Thick Fat...i think I'm done with this Mon for now, still thankful I actually got shiny versions of this adorable ball of pig.
>>
>>32403717
thick fat is the hidden ability

the parent needs it
>>
>>32403743
Yeah, I was breeding between a ditto and a female with the hidden ability on it. :/

>It did sound like I didn't know how to get the HA, didn't it?
>>
>>32403717
I really want a perfect shiny Mamoswine, damn it.
>>
>>32403717
>second shiny Swinub today
Jesus Christ can GF make shinies even less rare? I'm glad to still be playing in gen 3 with a group of friends. At least when one of us gets a shiny we know he worked for it. Giving shinies on a plate like that is only devaluing shiny hunting as a hobby. You know this hobby is going to shit when people focus more on getting perfect IV shinies instead of getting the shiny itself.
>>
>>32403813
It's still taking me over a month to get a shiny Lapras.
>>
>>32374812
Trying to breed a shiny Rowlet for my gf because she is pissed i snagged one in a wonder trade
Last one I got was a Ponyta on my 37th egg but I got a shiny Gible and a shiny Quillfish in WT getting rid of the rest of my ponytas if that counts.
Never failed to get one but i set my goals realistically im not doing 12k SR for that I mostly aim at pokemon that mean a lot to me
>>
>>32403813
>devaluing shiny hunting
You're right, the only legit shiny hunts are from Gen 1
Just let people have their fun, go REEEE somewhere else
>>
>>32403813
I really am happy I got two of these, especially after my first one took just two/three days,plus I'd gladly train them to 100, regardless of IV's. I was just stubborn and wanted the ability. But I totally agree with you.
>>
>>32404090
....THEN AGAIN, if it's taking people weeks upon months to get shinies, even after the shiny charm and the masuda method and what have you, then shinies can still grant a form of merit, no?

You know what: I'll keep trying tomorrow too, and if I don't end up with a shiny(preferably with THICC FAT) I'll move on to something else. Seeing as my luck with Swinub is unparalleled, I may as well go for 3.

Goodnight, /vp/!

How does soft reseting work?

Do you just stand in front of the legendary, save, start the battle, check if it's shiny, then turn it off and on and try again?

Or do you have to go further back?
>>
>>32405108
Yeah,it's that simple.I'm currently SRing for a shiny Thundurus in AS.Use a button combination though,don't just turn off the console or the game(ex : L+R+Start/Select in ORAS/X/Y/S/M)
>>
>>32405163
Is the shiny decided when the sprite appears in the open world or is it decided when the ecounter starts?
>>
>>32405282
When encounter/battle starts. If you see Pokemon in open world its still normal-colored.
>>
>>32374812
The only fuckin' shiny I have is in my Moon game.
It was a caterpie, but it's fully evolved now. His name is fetish because I'm retarded.

10 hours into chaining Hakamo-o, still not got one

Girlfriend is breeding for a shiny absol, she's filled 15 boxes so far, in the meanwhile I SOS chained for a shiny baggon at 350, shiny groelithe at 613 and an eevee at 6, bad natures but I'm not in it for the comparative.

Question: if I'm using a foreign Ditto that was transferred from another game, does the Masuda Method still apply? Or do I have to use a Sun & Moon Ditto?
>>
>>32408660
It still applies.
>>
>>32408698
Okay, cool, thanks. I'm over 1000 eggs in and no shiny yet, so I was worried I might've been doing something wrong.

>>32408717
RNG works in mysterious ways. Just keep going for it and you'll eventually get it.

Another evolutionary line finished. Time to breed for one more shiny Rowlet and do more SRs for Type: Null.
>>
>>32409471
Damn son, you have insane dedication. Do you care about IVs/natures or just any will do?
>>
>>32409563
I currently have a Jolly synch Abra for Type: Null (my first shiny Type: Null is Naive) and breeding Adamant on my Rowlets. As far as DexNav, Friend Safari, Repel Tricking, etc., I don't care for the natures.
>>
>>32409563
Oh, and I don't really care about IVs since Bottle Caps are a thing, but I generally don't care for IVs at all since I don't do competitive.

Been chaining Hakamo-o for 18 hours now, reaching the stage where I think I messed up somehow and he can't be shiny
>>
>>32410332
I generally stop hunting a specific one after a few hours and either find another to chain or hunt something else a bit. I spent hours on a Pikipek, swapped to Eevee and got one in about a 40 chain.

Skarmory, Poliwag and Drifblim in my Pelago, wish me luck.
