Anyone remember when this shit was only on weekends?

After 2 weeks I finally hatched my shiny buneary but it has shit nature but wtv. I also caught a shiny relicanth last night while chain fishing. He's one of my favs so I was happy. Going to try and get a shiny poliwhirl next from chain fishing.

I've been SR'ing legendaries in ORAS for almost a week now and in around 3,4k resets with shiny charm, I've found 7 of them.

>>22191451 People still shiny hunt during the week though anon. I never understood why it was just weekends when this was the case. Sure there are more people on the weekend who like to hunt but leaving anybody else hunting during the week with no thread makes no sense to me.
>Shit What do you mean? What major points do you have that make this thread series so bad that you honestly want to call it shit?
>>22192473 >>22192520 Very nice guys. Sorry to hear about buneary but its great to see you got a shiny anyway.
Also yeah the ORAS legendaries are really easy to get now that their shiny rate appears to be so dramatically improved in the later games.

I shiny chained for a gloom which worked but ive been shiny chaining for a vulpix and im 350 search level in with no luck. Is shiny chaining confirmed? I got gloom with 137 search level and a chain of 18. Also looking to acquire shinies if anyone wants to trade. I have a shiny greninja if anyone wants it

Is DexNav chaining in ORAS legit? Every video I've watched on it, the person making it hasn't actually caught a shiny doing it, it seems. Then you've got clowns in YouTube comments being like "Yeah it totally works I got one after a chain of 600".

>>22193222 This guy also says it works but im not convinced. Even if it is 1 in 600 that's still significantly better than the odds without. I agree however, it does seem sketchy. Im working on confirmation as we speak

Quoted By:
>>22193401 yeah same here. got people saying it happens after the 30th chain and some people getting it before that. i watched a stream of a guy chaining and got it after 100 and then later got another one somewhere before 50. but who knows.

It's like the autists who posted in /shw/ had a rule punishable by death if you hunted shiny pokemon on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Fuck forget Holidays as well if it did not fall on the weekend you better not be shiny hunting

Anyone have that image saying how much of a pansy you were for giving up at a certain number of boxes? I think it said if you give up before 75 you had no stomach for a decent hunt.

I'm feeling lucky since I hatched 2 shinys last weekend. I want to give Gardevoir a go. What egg moves should I pick to make it worth it? What about for a Gallade?
Anonymous
>>22197958 Gardevoir doesn't really need many egg moves to be effective, to be honest. Destiny Bond and Encore are things if you want to try them, but most non-gimmicky sets are obtainable normally.

>>22197958 Gallade? I only bred Shadow Sneak onto it, because muh priority.

So do Magcargo, since it's a dual-type.

For SRing legendaries does the game roll for shininess when the battle starts or is it earlier?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>22201188 When the battle starts, as far as I know. I was worried about that when I SR'ing for Regirock since I saved in the chamber and not outside of it, but it was shiny eventually.

On Y what is the most effective way to fill my PC with eggs. I usually bike up and down until the guy is facing me but I feel that there's a more efficient way. How does everyone do it?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>22201266 Keep collecting eggs from the day care guy and as soon as you get one out it in a box. Then when you have a few boxes go to Lumiose and roller skate around the gym. I would only do this if you have a Pokemon with 50k egg steps

Today I plan to start hunting for a shiny using Masuda Method in AS. I've got a Japanese Ditto, a Hydreigon and a Shiny Charm. Hopefully this will work out well. The last time I ever done this was in White where I got a Shiny Heatmor. Alas, I deleted that save-file. Perhaps I should just try and regain Heator first instead of Hydreigon...

so I'm awful late to the party getting DS repaired after like 3 months and I was wondering if anything has changed on the shiny front? The shiny rates are still the same right? and you can complete your dex solely from ORAS right? well enough for shiny charm anyway

I've hatched a shiny before but I didnt count how many boxes it took me. I'm trying for a shiny 5IV HA eevee for Sylveon, 9 boxes in so far, no luck. With the MM method, what's the usual average for a shiny? I keep reading online that the shiny rate is as low as 1/600 now as opposed to 1/1000
