I hope everyone has a comfy weekend and has good luck with the shiny hunting c:

I'm not currently hunting anything specific, the dewpider, stunfisk, and gogoat I have in the respective daycares in moon and omega ruby are just relaxing whilst I play some HG. I'd love to come across a shiny in HG, would be amazing.

>Ever failed a shiny?

In Diamond, in a route south of Sinnoh, not sure which one it was, because I don't remember Sinnoh all that much, I met a shiny Pelipper and accidentally killed it. It was a one hit KO, a crit, I was sad af.
>>
>>33080897
Any hope for a reclaim?
>>
>>33080760
>What are you hunting?
Ursaring in Y through Poké Radar, Shinx in Alpha Sapphire through Masuda Method.

>Do you have any hunts on hold?
Gloom/Bellossom in either Y or Alpha Sapphire, and Altaria in Y.

>Ever failed a Shiny?
No, but the closest fail would be a Shiny Patch appeared and entered into the wrong patch while catching Ursaring (I didn't see the patch but the music changes when the patch appears)

>Last hunt?
Feebas/Milotic in Alpha Sapphire through Consecutive Fishing. The bitch (yes is Female) took like 50-60 fishing to finally appear.

I thought the abilities were Sticky Hold and Suction Cups.

>>33081022
Also if you fish near of obstacles (rocks, walls, etc.) the chance of fishing increases. The probability caps at 20 fishings, with 1/96 of getting a shiny after each fishing. If you hook slow or fast the chain breaks, if you didn't get a hook the chain also breaks. (This only works in Gen 6)

>What are you hunting?
Shroomish via Masuda and Magikarp; at 941 eggs/31 boxes so far
>Do you have any hunts on hold?
Not really
>Ever failed a Shiny?
Not fail persay, but I got a shiny Magikarp at egg #941 and had to use it on Jangmo-o instead because the swapped Shroomish was a) male and b) no hidden ability
>Last hunt?
technically Jangmo-o, but actual hunt would be Porygon at 421 eggs/12 boxes

>What are you hunting?
Shiny Rowlet
>Do you have any hunts on hold?
Shiny Torchic
>Ever failed a Shiny?
Yes. A Noibat on Friend Safari. I accidentally ran from it.

Shiny Oricorio
>>
>What are you hunting?
Shiny Giratina in Platinum's Turnback Cave. With ~2 sr's every minute, it's pretty doable.
>Do you have any hunts on hold?
Not on hold, per se, but I'm fixing to get all of the creation trio shiny, and I've already got Palkia, so Dialga will be next.
>Ever failed a Shiny?
I killed a shiny sos-chained Diglett once because it took out its non-shiny companion, causing my move to be redirected to the shiny. I found another one in like fifteen minutes though, so it's all good.
>Last hunt?
Magikarping for a shiny Alolan Sandshrew, which I'm currently using in a monosteel shiny runthrough of Moon.

Usually I just watch something on Netflix/Youtube. That's a good idea though, I could probably play Moon while SRing just to get that out of the way.
>>
>>33080913
I never really looked for shinies, it was just a random encounter. I don't even like shiny Pelipper.
>>
>>33081209
I've done a few playthroughs of FF4 while SRing legendaries, the active battles mix pretty well with SRing. Queue up your spells and attacks, look at the game and see if what you reset is shiny, and if not, reset. I've found about 4 or 5 shiny legends this way.

Nope, not really. I got a shiny Dunsparce while grabbing a ditto to help a guy produce some eggs. I just ended up giving it to him since I wouldn't have found it without helping him. (I did snap a pic.)

Registeel, random encountering in Platinum Randomizer. It shows up at level 5, so it should be an easy catch. Leading with Damp Golduck to keep Explosion down.

Yup, Rayquaza, same randomizer, also random encounter. Also Litten in Sun, but fuck that.
>Ever failed a Shiny?
Fortunately not!
>Last hunt?
I don't really remember the last shiny I got that I "hunted" for. My last two shinies were random encounter, and I don't remember what I got before them.

I know, I just wanted to get a shiny for each form. It's just a specific goal I set up for this shiny hunt(It's not the first time I've had one than one shiny of the same species).

I'm also using the nectars, since I'm only using a Timid nature Pom Pom during this one(that way I don't have to switch at the daycare).

There's also the fact that I'll be checking their Hidden Power types to determine which ones get changed to what form(I don't have many perfect IVs on either parent).

>>33083953
>What game offers me the best odds on it?

All of the games it can be shiny in are pre-Shiny Charm so you'll have to settle for full odds unfortunately. RBY on Virtual Console will guarantee you a good nature but you'll have to catch it over and over to check if it has shiny IVs. HGSS lets you Synchronize the nature but it's only a 50/50 shot. If you don't care about nature at all, go with FRLG.

Chains resetting after 255 is a genwun-tier fuckup, you'd think Game Freak would've learned how to code properly at some point in the last 20 years. Then again, they just now figured out how to give alternate forms different base HP stats, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

>Do you have any hunts on hold?
Popplio and Dhelmise
>Ever failed a Shiny?
Dont think so but who knows back in my youth playing silver and crystal.
>Last hunt?
Mimikyu after 27 boxes

Whats a good nickname for a shiny Shiftry? Thinking of Redwood but I'm shit at nicknames.

this is an average hunt that has barely gotten started. Just wanted to let you know. Good luck

Can't Dexnav a Charjabug anon.

And apparently I can't SOS chain one either because the RNG gods hate me, god fucking dammit. I'm doing one more chain and then I'm breeding the fucker instead, this is getting ridiculous.

Yes! After 3178 SRs, Shiny Groudon appeared! Caught him in a Heavy Ball. And adamant synch worked too! So happy with this. Finally I have him and now I can go for shiny Rayquaza!
>>
>>33093570
that's not even good balltism, Also why wasn't it asleep?
>>
>>33094403
Because I used worry seed on him so he can't use Rest. And with heavy ball it's pretty easy to catch. I didn't want to risk lose him.
>>
>>33094480
when i caught mine i just used ice beam hoping for a freeze and caught it in an ultra ball
>>
>>33094501
I was going to paralyze him with stun spore but he killed my Roserade.
>>
>>33094544
>not having a backup mon
>not having several

When I hunt legendaries, i use Parasect/Smeargle/Breloom. Why use one Spore/False Swipe mon when you could use all of them?
>>
>>33094586
I didn't have problem even if I couldn't paralyze him. I have Master Ball for emergency.
>>
>>33094603
>chancing having to resort to using the master ball

What will you do on the next pokemon you have an emergency on, huh? What then?

>>33094613
Transfer another master ball? I have many games to get master ball...
>>
>>33094635
>wanting that mark of shame on your legendary
>>
>>33094664
I do not care about using Master ball on emergency times. I'm not that autist. I only care about the shiny. And until this day I haven't used a single Master ball.

Everything went better than expected. That's two more families down, now on to Cutiefly.

>>33095172
>Dexnav is the patrician's hunting method

Of course it is, that's why Game Fuck had to replace it with SOS faggotry. Can't have good features stick around too long or people will stop playing the old games. :^)
>>
>>33095209
>if you make the newer games shit people will keep playing the old ones

bet that's gf's logic
>>
>>33095294
They say its to give each game a 'unique feel'.

It's actually to stop feature creep, which is how every gen stays accesible to new players. But they only have a 50/50 success rate at not making the replacement features worse.
>>
>>33095333
They keep dumping good ones and replacing them with shit. Going from Dexnav to SoS is like going from a modern computer to a DOS shitbox.

Never drink water while MMing.
Got this a few hours ago and now I need two more.
>>
>>33095367
Oh yeah, but its just one in the great cycle of replaced features.
Pokefinder - shaking grass - horde - dexnav - SOS peaked at dexnav, but was fairly linear

GTS building - GTS floor - C gear - PSS - Plaza
Probably peaked at PSS or plaza

Bag interface is pretty high right now with the return of Free Space, with DP as a low point and HGSS menu buttons as the high point for a ling time

Dex is pretty good atm. Unless national dex pisses you off. But, again, feature creep and accesibility.

And breeding mechanics have gotten better consistently, but alolamons could use more egg moves.

Oh, and TV interactivity is shit. RSE and BW/2 highlights there
>>
>>33095474
PSS is so much better than Plaza it's not even funny. The bag is a fucking nightmare. So many pokemon specific items that clutter the shit out of it.
>>
>>33095489
I meant to say peaked at c gear or PSS. I still have trouble navigating plaza. (And Join Avenue was infinitely better)
QR code teams are neat though.

Bag, to say everything it has to contain, doesnt do bad with quick scroll, ordering and free space. Remember the spin wheel?
It could do with more pockets though, and Silvallys memories didnt need to be a thing. Letting it use plates and letting it get the type boost would have broken nothing and saved us 18 spaces.

Use a sync and get the dex entry ahead of time

Done both. Have the shiny charm as well.

I just caught a shiny suicune after about 8 hours of SRing Alpha Sapphire. I caught it in one attempt with a dive ball, it also has a modest nature. I'm feeling so good.

Absol and Ponyta
>Ever failed a Shiny?
Nope.

Shiny Alolan Vulpix after about 1 hour of breeding.

Got my HP Fire Cutiefly last night and just got this at a chain of 221. That's five shinies in one weekend and the day's only half over. Thank you based Masuda.
>>
>>33101708
How do you not run out of PP while doing this?
>>
>>33103878
Level 100 Pokemon with multiple low-power high-PP moves + lots and lots of Leppa Berries. Plus I save before every hunt and reset if the chain resets so I don't end up wasting berries on a shiny that never shows.
>>
>>33103934
>berries
Didn't even fucking think of it, thanks dude

apparently I had thought of that before, since I have fucking 400.

How do I know if a pokemon is shiny when I find it? I'm colorblind.

>>33104082
There's a sparkle animation that plays when they appear.
