Hello boys and girls, it's that time of the week again where we continue to search for albino Pokémon, whether by finding them in their natural habitat or by committing breeding practices that would make PETA's head spin.Why not?

Weekend's been fine enough, apart from the 700+ larvesta

>>28105543 >Apparently there was enough demand You could call it that.
I just got bored after making my living dex and remembered that this used to be a thing.
Combine that with the number of people jumping back into the games to prep for SM, and I guess it snowballed.

The base shiny rate in FS is 1/512 I think, while a Pokeradar chain of 40 is 1/200. The shiny charm doesn't work in Friend Safari.
The hardest part would be finding someone in friend safari with a ditto willing to add you, since people with ditto are usually bombarded by everyone else.

I feel like this game is mocking me. I never got a shiny before, even though I've played since Red. In ORAS I decided to change that and went through all the trouble of building a living dex for a shiny charm and started to Masuda method me a charmander.

The secret of shiny hunting is that once you get one, they begin to flood in.
Wonder Trade off the extras from your Charmander, see if you get any shinys from it.

I have to press down on my circle pad to make sure it actually stays forward when I slip it under.
If you can find something that will just clamp gently onto the 3ds, that would be best. But paper is fine.

Have you considered a Lure Ball? Depending on the method you're going about using for it you might be able to move one up from HGSS. It's got a nice color scheme for Flygon. Lots of red, blue, and green.
Nest is my second pick after that.
