I'm thinking of suspending this Cutiefly hunt to go reset for something in ORAS. What should I reset for? I've got the Lake Trio/Cresselia/Virizion/Terrakion/Regirock/Registeel, and i got the gen 2 beasts and palkia/giratina from events.

Trying to get a shiny ditto in friend safari, but thinking about going back to Soulsilver to softreset for a shiny starter since you can check if any of the 3 are shiny. I put a few thousand soft resets into that a while ago before getting bored.

>What are you hunting?
Nothing at the moment but thinking about trying to get a shiny Adamant Sheer Force Totodile with Dragon Dance/Ice Punch/Aqua Jet. Already have a couple 5IV missing Sp.Att and a couple 6IV all with HA but they're not shiny
>Method?
I'd use MM, obviously
>Last hunt?
Shiny Munchlax with Pickup. It took 3 shinies to get but it was for a shiny Pickup team so it's worth it
>What shiny pokemon would you recolour and what colours would you make it?
Feraligatr is my favorite pokemon but I don't care for it's shiny colors. That's why I haven't decided whether I'm gonna try for the shiny or not. I never thought about what colors I'd change it to cause I actually really like the normal colors
>>
>>32789859
Drapion
>>
>>32789859
Do you consider Sandslash's shiny to be red? The spikes look great. Breloom would be my second suggestion. You already have the best (in my opinion) looking red shiny with Scolipede
>>
>>32789859
MM a Litwick or Cranidos and evolve them.

>>32789870
>Feraligatr
As a Johtoddler and a big fan of Feraligatr, you should totally do it. I feel you for the colors as well. A little darker turquoise on it couldn't hurt as far as a re-done shiny.
>>
>>32789901
I was considering getting the largely red ones first and then ones with notable red parts like Terrakion with his bold red horns
>>
>>32789707
Whenever I feel like stopping I just close my 3ds and go back to it later, or at least try to find a mon with its ha before ending the chain at <255.

MM sucks fucking ass in SM due to cruddy RNG. It's honestly better to do it in Gen 6.

If you ARE going to MM in SM though, use Homebrew and a program that reads your Shiny Value and a seed.

Here's a guide for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonrng/comments/66j4l8/shiny_egg_rng_guide_no_mm_or_shiny_charm/

>inb4 reddit
I know. Fuck off.
>>
>>32791613
I'd rather hatch in Star Sapphire but Cutiefly isn't a gen 6 pokemon.
>>
>>32791632
Shit dude, best of luck to you. If you start to go insane, remember that RNG abuse might be the only way around your struggle. You might have a horribly shitty seed.
>>
>>32791565
PBR is underrated. Sure the the main part is boring but the wifi battles give me nostalgia like nothing else.
>>
>>32791648
I keep doing the Magikarp Swap deal. Last time i hatched in SM it took me 1665 or so eggs. Meanwhile back in AS/Y i get stuff like 1/3/10 box hunts

I know how it is, man. I used to love hatching back in AS. Shit was so easy and the RNG wasn't so straight forward.

I remember back in January when some anons and I were tinkering around with the RNG in the game, and I was the guinea pig that hatched about 30 boxes worth of Mimikyu, then reset to before I hatched them all, then hatched about 15 boxes of Minior and I got my shiny.

I remember being both happy and sad about it, mainly because MM was technically made easier and more exploitable, but it also feels really robotic.
>>
>>32791689
SM probably has some of the worst shiny hunting, especially coming off of gen 6, where i really started to pick it up. I'm actually starting to miss Colosseum, at least with those shinies i can straight up brag about the sheer rarity of it. Here it's just "oh wow i got a shiny that took 58 boxes to get."
>>
>>32791716
Yeah, SOS battles don't do it for me. Too much preparation in my opinion. Yet here I am, hunting a shiny Lillipup right as we speak even though I should be doing it in AS via DexNav.

Hunting in the console games seems masochistic haha, any luck that you've had with those games?

I'm still hunting shiny dewpider I have no idea how many boxes of eggs it has been but I activated my Pokemon bank the other day and I've received 2000 battle points from it coz I wonder trade all my breeding project leftovers I have been hunting dewpider for months now so not sure if the BP are indicative of the amount of eggs I've hatched

Hopefully shiny lil dewpider pops soon so I can move on to hatching some other shinies I want for my adventure team
>>
>>32791762
You're making me nostalgic for Colosseum/GoD.

Hopefully that console game that Gamefreak is working on will bring back that same feeling of wonder.

Congrats though. 928 SRs pre-Gen 6 is really good. I got my shiny Mewtwo in Leaf Green in ~9000 SR.

Yeah, way too much focus on a character that can't even battle. She steals the spotlight from other more interesting characters, like Hau and Guzma. Not to mention that you're kind of her bitch boy from start to finish, battling for her and, more importantly, saving Nebby on the bridge which almost costed you your life.
>>
>>32791857
>She steals the spotlight from other more interesting characters, like Hau

Don't make me laugh. But yeah, story in pokemon's always been bad, especially with how damned frequent it is lately.

>Hau
He's more complex than people give him credit for imo. A lot of his happy-go-lucky personality is implied to be a sham, and does it to cover up his insecurities kind of like me in real life now that I think about it.

Regardless, the big issue with Pokemon's story is that there's elements that can tell a decent narrative but are never fully utilized. The best example I can think of is the mess that is XY's story. Almost nothing's properly explained besides the Ultimate Weapon, Lysandre's goals are fucking retarded in BOTH games, and the characters. Jesus Christ the characters. I understand people complain about Hau all the time, but his entire character feels like a parody of the XY rivals. They're all so one-dimensional and boring despite having backstory that's never elaborated on, because fuck effort.

I really hope they don't squander Gen 7's overall theme and story. There is so much potential to be had regarding Ultra Beasts and Ultra Space, not to mention that we haven't seen Zygarde be properly represented yet.

>What shiny pokemon would you recolour and what colours would you make it?
Idk. I'd change many of the puke green shinies. For example Orange Espeon or Black Ursaring.

Also a bit of help. I was training in ORAS some older mons in the Blissey Bases but something's not right. I haven't messed with the clock yet yesterday I could only battle them only if I made them my pals. And today I can't battle them at all. I though only the day has to pass to be able to rematch them or do I have to wait a full 24hours?
>>
>>32791668
And now I got a shiny Fletchling in Santalune Forest, so of course no Gale Wings

Why is all my luck burning out on mons I can't even use competitively?
>>
>>32792637
Green Espeon is one of the greens that actually works, I think. Because Umbreon is a blue moon and Espeon is a Green Flash - a hard to catch phenomenon where the sun looks green just as it is setting

>>32792668
Maybe but aesthetically it doesn't look good at least in my opinion.

After a large number of resets at the old chateau, he is here to separate the darks from the whites.

Unfortunately this is on an emulator so if anyone has tips on how to get it from desmume platinum to 3ds moon that would be swell
>>
>>32796925
There's two ways to do this.

First method (no save altering/injecting ingame):
Use the Export backup memory option on desmume to get a .sav of your Platinum save. Then, use FBI on a modded 3DS to import the save onto your Platinum cartridge. Transfer up from there.

Second method (save editing/injecting):
Extract your Pokemon from your save using Pkhex. Then inject it into your Moon save. The game considers it identical to Bank-transferred Platinum mons.
>>
>>32797057
Or he could use two DS and R4 then thansfer the pokemon to an original cartridge and so on.

Nothing at the moment, breeding for competitive, hoping I get lucky during the process.

Luxury ball competitive sandygast. 1300 fucking eggs. With MM and charm

Make alakazam white with the normal pink/purple color

Salazzle in a Premier Ball

I'm at least 20 boxes in on dewpider and broke a chain that had been going on and off over two days. It's crappy, I empathise with you anon.

The RNG's fucked, just look at the magikarp swapping to know that. In less than a box I'll have passed the amount of resets i did for Colo Ttar, which has 16x worse odds and like 5x longer encounter times. And you can go and say "well thats just how odds are it could be 20 eggs or 2000 eggs" but i have never had a single good hunt in SM. I went over odds three times over for Mimikyu, and this Shiny Charm is as useless as that """Strange Souvenir"""

The worst thing is, there's basically no other way to hunt. SoS has that bug, and even if it didn't have it, it takes forever for a pokemon to call, vastly inferior to Dexnav. Outside that, you have the exactly 4 resettable pokemon, and 3 of them are the starters you could just breed for. There's not even chain fishing anymore, and even if there was, I hope you like golden Magikarps that evolve into the most common shiny ever. In terms of shiny hunting and my opinion of the game in general, going from gen 6 to gen 7 is like playing Ocarina of Time and then going on to fucking Spirit Tracks. I'd be better off back in Colosseum, because at least then i can say i have a shiny shadow pokemon, instead of "oh i hatched for a pokemon like everybody else"

>In less than a box I'll have passed the amount of resets i did for Colo Ttar, which has 16x
i hope you are not resetting in SM, the values are fixated and you would be getting the same exact box every time
>>
I just broke through my aversion to Shiny Hunting and now I want to go for Shiny Mareep (I got one in a Dream Ball from WT) Any EM that I should breed to it and with what nature should I go?
>>
>>32800972
The only egg move worth your time is Agility. As for the nature, you can go with quiet with 0 speed IVs for TR(though its hard to set up and don't recommend it) modest or timid. Not sure which nature is best but I'd go for a modest with agility set up. You can look up Smogon for some pointers
>>
>>32800408
>The RNG's fucked, just look at the magikarp swapping to know that.
The RNG isnt bad, its just slightly changed. Instead of instances of say saving before you gather 5 eggs and then getting a shiny but failing to save after and losing it in the case of power failure the RNG seed now guarantees that even if you turn off your ds that same egg will be shiny, at the cost of the possibility of getting a bad seed that could take hundreds if not thousands of eggs to guarantee a shiny. Frankly id rather the guarantee of having a shiny backed up by the seed at the cost of it possibly taking a little longer due to the seed.

>The worst thing is, there's basically no other way to hunt. SoS has that bug, and even if it didn't have it, it takes forever for a pokemon to call, vastly inferior to Dexnav.
Theres no conclusive proof that it is a bug, for all we know it could have been intentionally coded to reset after 255 encounters, Why? i dont know but its not like its something that ultimately affects the outcome, you will still likely get a shiny through SoS. As for the calling, different pokemon have different call rates, and it makes sense that a small caterpillar is likely to call for backup than a dragon. Meanwhile Dexnaving in caves and while surfing is harder than SoS as the pokemon move around thus requiring more effort to chain them.

How far into XY do you have to get before you can find an Onix?

I think you can find it in the glittering cave.

>>32800881
Nah, i'm hatching a box, releasing, and saving before i do another box, with the intent to reset IF i get a shiny.

>for all we know it could have been intentionally coded to reset after 255 encounters

There is no logical reason for this to even happen, you shouldn't be punished for maintaining such a streak. If it was called at 255, meaning the rate couldn't go higher then it'd be okay, but here if you got a shiny on #256, it'll have 0ivs and no chance for a hidden ability. Different call rates are stupid, using an orb should guarantee they try calling. Dexnav in caves/surfing/desert, well you can get many of them in the friend safari at least.

Never because muh ethics
>>
>>32803275
The fuck? May you explain?
>>
>>32803294
When you release a mon it says 'Bye Bye ___' and stuff like that. What I'm trying to say is that GF is really pushing this trainer mon connection or whatever and releasing should be a sad event so having a mass release option would mean that there is no connection and they can be easily discarded.
>>
>>32803469
Yeah, right. But wouldn't mass release increase playability a bit?
>>
>>32803469
and yet GF heavily encourages disgusting amounts of breeding.
>>
>>32803512
Idk that's just what I think.
>>32803515
Not so sure about that especially with hyper training... then again rather training in SM to lv 100...I'd breed hundreds of eggs
>>
>>32803554
Hyper training shouldn't have the level 100 requirement, level 50 would be good. Facilities, online, all set to level 50. Also, the whole "trainer mon connection" doesn't mean anything when you can't do much with pokemon in general outside fighting
>>
>>32803581
Amie/Refresh made Pokemon more lively, but yeah. I don't really get this "connection" between mon and trainer, since you don't "bond" with a Pokemon at the moment you got/hatched it. It still takes some time, so game-wise it means nothing.

Yea I completely but they have been force feeding this shit for ages like mega evolution bond and trainer mon perf sync for Z-moves so that's why I'm skeptical and as much as I would like I'm not sure GF is gonna add that feature at least not in game but maybe in the bank at some point hopefully.

It'd work better if there was more to the game than just fights

>>32803652
Yes. Plus like you said you can just literally just slap a megastone/z crystal on a freshly caught/breed mon and no problem. Those are just empty words but the fact that they still use them is what really gets me. I know it sounds good and stuff but if you don't do something in the game to feel that way it's meaningless

also this
<Reason?
Twas a summer day at my grandma's house, me, my brother and two bigger nephews were having put vacation at her's, and i brought pokemon silver, which i played on my black classic gba
heading to the lake of rage through some grass in route 43 when suddenly, an encounter
and i saw in front of me a shiny girafarig
i tried to catch it, worrying that one of my pokemon would crit it and make it faint
keep chucking balls
doesn't get in
eventualy, the balls run out
have two options, namely:
hit the girafarig so it faints and ends the battle
spare it and run away
i chose for the latter
and thus, the shiny girafarig became my white whale

Mimikyu - managed to get it after 422 eggs. Nowhere near as bad as my previous MM hunt for Popplio - that bugger took nearly 100 boxes, but I did get a shiny female out of it.
>What shiny pokemon would you recolour and what colours would you make it?
Scizor, hands-down. Make it either a solid black or dark blue with red highlights. Either would make it look SO much better.

Never liked Umbreon's shiny. I would prefer if it the rings remained gold, but its fur was switched for a light cream or off-white.

Gen1 Moltresfag reporting in.
Here's a surprise: those godforsaken DVs have not lined up correctly yet. Wonderful.

On the other hand, today being bored out of my mind riding the bus back home from uni, I was switching around games trying to find just about anything. A little of Sapphire, LG, you name it.
I then remembered I wanted to find a Rapidash in Crystal. How hard could it be, right? So I went to route 28 and started doing what I do best, monotonous shit.
And then, I honestly think not even 100 REs in, this just kinda happened. It's no Rapidash but how can you not love so ridiculously quick finds?
Fun fact: checking its DVs, it has 15 in attack, which essentially means it's about as perfect as a shiny can get in gen2.

So, apparently I can find something like this in less than an hour, but something like Moltres I can't find in who knows how many months now.
It's an abstract kind of feel.

I don't think you get what shiny hunting is about for most people. I suppose you primarily breed the mons you want to battle with?
>>
>>32820622
Nice anon. Funny how the RNG often fucks with the most dedicated. Once you get the Moltres which gen are you gonna place it? Or will you keep it in Gen 1?

It's going into my second Crystal save. There'd really be no point in leaving it in gen1 where you can't even tell.
Funny story, that save where I found Doduo, which was my first original one, is "tainted". You see, I used a gameshark code on it to activate the Celebi event, which took me some time to find pink, but I did get it in the end. This was about a year and half ago.
It wasn't until later that I found out if I talk to Kurt again he still activates the event even after I already captured the thing.
You could see the good side of it and say I have an endless supply of Celebis, but now I can't make apricorn balls on that save.
I started another save fresh, and decided to look for Cyndaquil there because might as well, and used a shiny team composed of said Cyndaquil and several other shinies I bred on the first save with the help of a shiny Ditto.
Last thing I did on that one was SR for the Dratini they give you in Dragon's Den, which I haven't looked for in a long while actually. Part of the reason I didn't look for Rapidash there is the sparkles of mine extending encounters, so I just went to the old save.
It's on that save where my Articuno and Zapdos are right now, and where the remaining two will go as well.

Replaying Silver for the first time in years and just ran across this little guy in Ilex Forest.

What's something cool I can do with it in terms of movesets/evolutions/etc? I want to use it now but I picked Chikorita as a starter so I wasn't planning on having another Grass type. It's female too, so I can't really use it to breed anything except more Oddish.

Evolve it into Vileplume so that you have a Grass Type
And then later breed another Shiny one and evolve it into Bellossom.
>>
>>32835468
Are either of them particularly good? I was planning on using Gengar as a sleep/Nightmare/Dream Eater user but I could replace it with Vileplume and save myself the trouble of having to find someone else with the game I guess.

Also holy shit if one of the parents is shiny in GSC the chances of the Egg being shiny are 1/64? That's insanity. I wish there were some better Pokemon in Oddish's egg group though.

I'm going to attempt MM for the first time, is the pelago worth using or am I better off running around to hatch my boxes?
>>
>>32844128
Pelago is not worth using. Takes too much time to hatch an egg. But you can leave it in the night while you sleep if you want.
>>
>>32844128
If you feel up to it when you're tired, I liked grabbing 18 eggs and tossing them in the pelago before I went to bed. Having those eggs to pop when you wake up is kinda nice. It isn't much, but better than hatching nothing while asleep. Applys to work and other things that take long enough to hatch your type of egg, as well.

So lets say I hatch 20 karp eggs and get a shiny, and I'm trying for shiny rotom.
I would want to reset and hatch 18 karp eggs before switching to my rotom parent, then reject, accept, reject, accept to get to the 20th egg?
Otherwise I would have to reject, accept through 40 total eggs to get my 20, based on what I'm reading?
Thanks for any insight ahead of time!

Alola form. Pikachu Exeggute and Cubone all evolve in their alolan form in SM regardless of where they were transferred.
>>32845229
I'm not doing a living dex but it's really depending on whatever you think. Personally I think forms(like Unown Vivillon) just one is enough since it technically fills the dex slot but if you want to get all the forms for the ultimate completion be my guest.
