It's that time of the week again! Come on in and join your fellow hunters as you fish, hatch, chain, DexNav, soft reset, whatever it takes to get those shinies!

Previous thread: >>26610446

ToTT: What was your longest hunt?

>>26684345

>ToTT: What was your longest hunt?
A shiny Cyndaquil in SS, 1940 SR.

>was it worth it?
Of fucking course no. Shiny Typhlosion is ugly, literally just a pink human.
>>
>>26684447
What were you hoping to get?

ToTT: Longest hunt was Suicune in Omega Ruby. Stopped counting at 3000 resets. Was my first hunt. I'd say it was worth it, favourite legendary.

>>26684558
I was hoping to get a badass black with red human, or at least a golden human, not that shitty pink human trash...*sigh*

Yesterday was my lucky day. Two Shinies pretty close to each other using the DexNav. The first one was this Bouffalant. The second one, like ten minutes after the Bouffalant, was a Shiny Eevee, which I posted in the Eevee thread like an hour ago.

I'm still on my longest hunt: Shiny Tyrunt. I lost the count of eggs, though, but I've been doing it sporadically since last December.

>What was your longest hunt?
Shiny Cottonee, over a month on and off of Masuda Method, lost count on the eggs.

>was it worth it?
I'm somewhere inbetween on that thought. Whimsicott's shiny colors are very nice, but this was at a time when I hadn't started dabbling in IV breeding.


Currently, I'm doing randomized shiny hunting in Friend Safari. I pick different safaris at random to go into and see if any shiny mons pop up. I don't have any particular ones in mind, so it makes it more interesting for me.
>>
>>26684895
Ooh binacle looks great good recommendation anon, and yeah I have magicarp

>Longest hunt
For several days early on in X&Y I was working on completing the national dex and looking for soodowoodo. It turns out the only way to get soodowoodo was in a horde encounter, one among five other trevenants. I can't recall if I ever got soodowoodo but I found a shiney trevenant after a few days, which is awesome because it's like a birch tree.
>Worth it
Sure, no soodowoodo though.

Was it worth it, Bad nature and bad Ivs, so not really.

Shiny comp snivy for battlan (1 fail, had 0 sp.attk)

>was it worth it?
Yes, contrary 5IV snivy is my current favourite on team
>>
>>26685557
Are you using 5-6 IV parents? I generally never use less than 6 IV parents and all of my shinies are 5-6 IV as a result. Other than crobat, and that's because he popped out on the 5th egg when the was trying to breed a 6 IV parent.
>>
>>26685895
Yeah, 6 IV parents. I just haven't lucked out.

After thousands of SR's, I finally got shiny Terrakion earlier today. Too bad it was worthless. Bashful with literally 0 attack IV's. Oh well.
>>
>>26687426
Wynaut can learn Encore.
>>
>>26685504
I'm also going for a shiny Audino right now, though I'm breeding mine. I wanted 4 egg moves on it and at least a chance at decent stats. Audino eggs take a lot longer to hatch than I thought they would though.

>>26684345
My longest hunt was for a shiny Latias in Omega Ruby. It was worth it, but the nature didn't synch.

Also got my shiny Heatran yesterday and currently SR'ing for a shiny Uxie.

So my longest hunt was about 13 years, granted there's a period of at least 12 years where I basically gave up, and but still. And considering I got it with basically no effort, yes it was worth it.

Currently I'm going for either a 6 IV or Shiny Abra, whichever comes first. That's only been going on for about a week though.

working on absol, I'm only about 150 in, first one'll probably have the wrong ability or something

my longest was tentacool at around 2,700, though I did SR for a long time for a registeel awhile back and never succeeded

I also have a confession; I'm such a nervous shit that I don't even battle anyone with what I've hatched, I've got almost a full box of shinies that I've bred over the last several years just sitting there because I like to occupy my hands while marathoning tv shows

they'll probably never see the light of day and if they do, there are so many that it just looks like I hacked them in and did a less-than-perfect job on the stats because who in their right mind would spend that much time on something they'll never use? I guess I've got the "eggs hatched" stat to back it up
>>
Haha, time to Masuffer a male Hoothoot.
>>
Hatched a shiny Rotom earlier in the week after about 100 eggs.

Suggestions on what to do next, since I dont have a clue what I want to get. Give multiple since I already have a decent amount of shinies.

RNG guy from last week, how are encounters decided with shiny frames anyways? I thought one frame=1 same pokemon each time, but when looking in the Safari Zone one frame got me a Rhyhorn and a Gloom in the exact same grass. What is going on with this? Going for Regice with the first frame, wish me luck.

Also, how do i utilize Battle Videos to bypass a lot of the waiting?

Well if you aren't too interested in it being competitive, you can always horde hunt it. Probably the quickest way to get shinies. I got this one after about 10 horde encounters(although that was lucky)

>What was your longest hunt?
The 1300 or so Charmander MM hunt I finished just last weekend.

Been hunting 3IV+ Dittos on DexNav on and off this week. Got two shinies as well so far in around 600 encounters, though neither had Imposter. Otherwise, I've got three 4IV Dittos covering all the stats, and 3IV + 0 Speed IV one. Pretty lucky so far, but probably won't be satisfied until I get one or two 5IVs. Hopefully missing Atk and SpA respectively. That probably won't happen, of course.

I wanted to try to DexNav for a few shiny Unown, but their island hasn't spawned for me yet. Probably just keep on Dittos for the moment.

Every Hoopa Ring Legend is not shiny locked. As I recall, only the "normal" Legends for Gen VI are. Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Mewtwo, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys. One assumes the idea is they don't want you to be able to find shinies for Legends during the generation they're spotlighted/introduced. Though considering we just got handouts of Shiny Rayquaza, Xerneas, and Yveltal, who the fuck knows what the rational is?

The Lati@s oddly aren't locked. Either of them, the normal in game one and the eon ticket one, apparently. It's just a real bitch to reset for the one they give you during the single player). I don't recall if the Kanto birds are. I assume they are locked, but perhaps not.

hatched shiny ferroseed last night. EV trained it with a team that started off with only one pokemon having pokerus, and ended off two hours later with every pokemon except ferroseed having caught pokerus.

Seriously. What the fucking hell is wrong with my game. I'm 11,000+SRS in on this fucking stupid ass giratina. I'm so close to giving up. This is my first fucking hunt ever for god sakes, a little mercy here please...

What shiny should I go for?

Omg, this week I opened up my 3DS and found a shiny Xerneas out of nowhere! Wow

>>26703982
Yeah i remember picking that event up
>>
>>26703937
I mean, I'm honestly not sure what to say at this point. You can either end it here or just keep going. You're still bound to get it, but it's undetermined when. You'd think going over twice the odds with the Charm would work by now. Again, it's your decision.

I don't think there's a way to restore enemy PP, right? Giving them Truant or just always keeping them asleep is probably the way to deal with them running out of PP.

Trick Leppa Berry maybe
>>
>>26705218
I risked it with just a paralyzer and not sleeper, so that kind of helped. It only helped for one or two turns though. That Psycho Shift's a bitch as well.

I even had an Intimidater on my team. I'm glad I didn't touch it.
>>
>>26705352
Did you even weaken it?

Damn man, Damp Parasect next time, it's the way to go.
>>
>>26705296
For future hunts in Omega, I'll likely get a Shroomish and not evolve it so soon to get Spore.

I didn't bother counting the PP because if I failed to catch it in time, so be it.
>>
>>26705376
False Swiped it to 1 HP.

I'll keep that Parasect in mind too.
>>
>>26705409

I'd recommend breeding a Shroomish in X and e.v training it in OR since Breloom takes more exp to get to level 100 then Mewtwo.
>>
>>26705417
Remember, it HAS to be Damp. Effect Spore is absolutely the wrong ability.
>>
>>26705409
Just get a soak,spore,false swipe, gastro acid Smeargle.

everything went better than expected, only about 400 in

not sure what to do next, I've wanted to get a magnemite but hidden power is such a pain in the ass

maybe I'll do porygon
>>
>>26706551
Depends on what the parents were. If both were 6IV, then that leaves one IV to be randomly generated. A 31 is a 1/32 chance.

If you had the shiny charm and were masudaing, that's a 1/527 chance. So, combined, the chances of getting a 6IV shiny are 1/32 * 1/527, or 1/16864

Of course, since we're only talking about shinies, it's a 1/32 chance that any one shiny would be perfect.

All in all, incredible odd.
>>
I'm going to hunt for a Shiny Latias.
Shiny Legendaries are a nightmare, right?
>>
>>26708120
I've lucked out with the ones i've caught so far, Latios only took me 3 premier balls. Here's a bit of a list of things i do.

>Synch lead
>level 100 DAMP Parasect with Spore/False Swipe/2 other moves that cant kill like Protect/Attract
>Make it hold Leftovers
>max out PP on Spore
>List the moves it can learn and the PP of the moves, so you know how much time you have
>Buy a fuckton of each ball
>try to get a Truant Durant
>>
>>26708120
Am I an absolute madman if I try to hunt Latias in gen v without a shiny charm? I transferred everything to gen vi a long time ago so recompleting the dex would be a nightmare

Is it generally faster to get a shiny via Dex Nav + Shiny Charm or Masuda Method + Shiny Charm?
>>
>>26710070
Lovy :)

I'm at hi.e for a few days. Trying g to fall asleep. Still working g I. Hatching shiny venbe ipede
>>
>>26710101
assuming you don't fuck up, dexnav is typically faster
>>
Trying to catch a shiny Numel is Emerald to replace the one I lost many many years ago. Save me...
>>
>>26710101
I like DexNav if you just want a shiny and not concerned about stats. Shiny Chaining does not exist with DexNav, shiny pokes just appear there more often. The next set of games with increase the Masuda Method rate so I'm putting off breeding for now.
>>
>>26710101
DON'T FUCK UP
>>
Random question... I've been waiting until I get the shiny charm to begin SR'ing for Registeel. I haven't completed the pokedex yet, but I do have a registeel in my box. Somehow, though, I haven't been able to trigger Regigigas appearing... Do I have to catch Registeel in my own game for Regigigas to appear?
>>
breeding for a shiny dedenne again

I'm using a FRENCH zigzagoon as the parent, this still counts for MM right
>>
>>26711366
I tried in ORAS to get Regigias to appear with golems from an older game. He did not. You do have to go through the whole series of events, catching each of the golems, to get registeel / gigas to appear.

It'll definitely take less time to grind an ability capsule than to grind another shiny.
Unless you're some kind of shiny purist who never want it to change from when you caught it, it's not so bad.

Anyone doing or done a shiny badge quest? What're the rules?

I'm trying to start straight up with a shiny Torchic but SRing is being a bitch to me.
>>
>>26718985
I'm doing a more complex one in my Omega Ruby cart. SR'ing for each starter + getting one extra shiny on every save file. End goal is to have a full shiny team when I tranfer them all on one file. So far I have shiny Sceptile, Blaziken, and Sharpedo, currently hunting for Golbat.

I'm just doing it weirdly though, usually the rules are that you have to get a shiny before you challenge a gym. If you start with a shiny starter, it's easier because you can start battling the first gym right away. You don't nessisarily have to do that though, you can always get a shiny early route mon before the first gym.

Wasn't planning on using Audino, but random/full odds shinies still get my heart racing, so I might have to find space in my team. Also, purples my favourite colour so it's hard not to.
