After getting my shiny Regice in 756 SRs, I'm currently 350 SRs in for a shiny Registeel.

Blue with a dark green is beautiful, or anything with turquoise or aquamarine as long as it isn't brown.

Please don't waste your time doing this. You'll look back in a few years with a lot of regret. I wasted hours upon hours on this garbage and don't want to see some of you others with regret. The difference in color just isn't worth it.

I tend to do it while watching other things, and most of the shines I've gotten only took a day or two. It really isn't a huge deal depending on how you do it. I don't blame you if you feel like its a waste of time though.

RNG guy here, can't fucking get things working again. The pokemon i catch, despite being caught near the same frame, end up about a hundred apart, and i don't know what affects it. That and the fact i'm so sick of Hoenn's music. How do i use Battle Videos to advance frames?

You want to feel pain? Do you, really?

Line up triple 10s in the bottom three stats, then not once, not twice, but thrice get the wrong attack stat.
Two times being 91, the most recent being this.

After finishing the game I erased the save file and started a new one. Didn't even bother to trade the Audino to another game. I always do that with my games, and I didn't even feel bad getting rid of the Audino. I've always had some luck finding shiny Pokemon, but I don't really give a shit about them. Although I have to admit that the moment you find one you do feel excited as fuck.

Nah man, just never really cared because by the time my friends and I started playing Pokemon people were using Gamesharks or whatever to make every Pokemon shiny. They were so common in my school days I kinda lost interest in them. Although, like I said, being a lucky fuck and finding a shiny is always nice, even if I only ever find them for Pokemon I don't particularly care about.

>>26783517
Good luck bro, keep at it. When gen 7 comes around I might actually try some breeding and maybe some shiny hunting, just to squeeze as much as possible from the games.

I was in the process of trying to make a stronger Lucario and after 62 eggs (his being the last one) I got this little pupper. He's only got superior potential but I'll still train him later. Also got a hacked shiny Metagross and Reshiram in wonder trade, but their stats are terrible plus the Reshiram has a dumb nickname that came from someone that had their Twitch channel as their description.

Guys, what's the fastest way to get a shiny tepig? Breeding? SR in ORAS? If I'm not mistaking, there's no pignite safari, or anything like this, right?

Masuda breeding has always been the quickest for me. It's also your best chance at getting a shiny Tepig with good stats.

450 eggs, this was kinda the last thing I had lined up after my absol last week, now I'm at a loss as to what to do next

the only other thing I could think of is magnemite but I don't even want to begin to attempt to wrap my head around manipulating IVs for hidden power fire

I'm sure I'll find something, I always do

>>26785593
>for egg moves
Derp, my mistake. It is a bit silly that actually get HA, never assured in the first place, can end up being irrevocably bad for you. Maybe they'll change that in SM.
>>
>>26781146
this. I mean come on guys, anything is better than wasting time on some pixels of a different colour
>>
>>26785696
you know, the whole HA thing is ok by me, they just seriously need to fix fucking IVs and natures irrevocably fucking up certain pokemon just cause you didn't go through the proper inbreeding procedures
>>
>>26785870
The easy of gaming the system is better than it's ever been, but it could stand to be better.

The incense needing breeding projects though, that's fucking ridiculous. You basically have to sacrifice the ever stone to use them. Be nice if there was a kind of item slot for the daycare, where only stuff like incenses and what not would go.

I was MMing for shiny Wooper in a Dream Ball when suddenly, my 3DS screen started flashing black. I Googled the problem, and people are saying that those with the problem should send their console in to Nintendo immediately for repair. I put everything in Bank as soon as I could so that in case something happened to my 3DS, I wouldn't lose any of my mons. But I'm still really bummed that I can't MM for this little cutie anymore. Shame I can't just move my cart to another one of my 3DS systems and keep going.

Digital downloads: Not even once

I was working with a DBHA female I had received in a trade. She was already pentaperfect, so I went with her instead of a 2 IV Toxicroak one from the Friend Safari. I was planning on switching to al the first normal ability 5IV female that popped out if a male didn't hatch, but it was just bad luck to get a shiny on the fifth egg with the HA.
I ended up hatching this beauty on the third egg after taking a break to play Rhythm Heaven.

>>26786080
Incense is the devil's work. Having it as a separate thing in the daycare would be great. Maybe they could even add other items to help with things like IVs for hidden power or getting eggs even faster.

>>26786127
I always fear something like that will happen. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to use the cart on another system other than Friend Safari data though.

i think it's a flat 1/216 chance or something like that. Chaining makes the pokemon show up "better" as in better iv's and moves, but it should be that chance with the shiny charm

You're obviously using an phone, so it's understandable that your image is fucked.
I'm not going to give you shit for something you can't help.

However, if you're going to name a cool Pokemon after a directionless and frankly, shitty, meme, then you should probably remove yourself from the gene pool.

At least you know you're a fuckwit, so that's a plus.

I feel like starting another breeding project. It's kind of fun to just have it on the side a every few minutes and check it. Might do something for a planned Hoopa-UB team but I don't know. It gives me a reason to play ORAS, at least.

Blame the RNG.
Wanna know the kicker though? I also searched for the other two on the same save. What I ended up with are two carbon copies of the same IV spreads and the same nature. No joke, put those stats on a calculator and you will get the same IVs for all three.

How? Well that to this day I still don't know how it happened, it just sorta did. The RNG manipulator guy around here can probably back me up in the fact that RNG abuse in FR/LG is almost worthless to try because the seed generation in those games actually works as intended.
The one explanation I have is I got the same seed generated by chance for all of them, AND when it did I happened to also hit the same shiny frame. Statistically speaking, I don't know what are the odds of that even happening when done at complete random, but it's something I still remember as if it was yesterday.

I don't suppose anybody could tell me why, after viewing a battle video to advance the frames, the pokemon i encounter is on a huge variety of frames? I'm talking a range of about 70 or so different ones

It will replace my current bellosom as the designated sweet scenter. Its stats are terrible and it has a naughty nature, so it's no good competitively. But still, an unexpected shiny is always nice

Here's what I think happens:

>Synchronize moves this pokemon to the appropriate frame and can turn it shiny

On Route 103, I got Wurmple/Zigzagoon/Poochyena with 1 frame. I should mention i have a GIGANTIC amount of frames for this shiny frame, 45. Meaning 45 chances to get a different encounter.

Obviously this won't work well if you have say, 5 frames or so. You should try playing with Battle Videos to advance time, since i finally got it down. If you want me to explain it, i can in another post.

How far in is it? I can explain how battle videos can work. In fact i'll do it anyways.

>soft reset the game and start a timer ticking up at the same time
>get 3 weak ass pokemon
>go to battle tower
>Open Level or l50, doesn't matter
>get to the part where the enemy trainer says strange shit pre-fight
>hover over that text until the time you want comes (be sure to have about 40 some seconds before your shiny frame)
>get your ass kicked and save the battle video

There's some shit you gotta do to calibrate it, to find out the frame your video is on. From smogon's guide:

>To find out the PRNG value stored in the video, simply use EonTimer set at a low frame like 1000, start the timer at the same time you press B to exit the video, and encounter a Pokemon when the timer runs out. A stationary Pokemon would be ideal, as it's easier to find out what frame you hit. Determine the frame you landed on, subtract that value from your target frame, and add that to the value in EonTimer.

Note that this can not only send you forward possible hours, but it can rewind to a frame too. No need to spam resets.
