So how much on average does soft resetting work? Been resetting for a Suicune in HGSS like 100 times now.

For a shiny? Depends on game, with Gen 6 three days anything else probably much, much longer like a week or so.

It can take literally thousands upon thousands of times.

"Shiny hunters" are literally the most autistic people on earth, even more so than speed runners.

I seriously get fucking bored even just chaining for shinies because that too takes hundreds of encounters. How these people do it for literally weeks or months on end I have no idea.

Prior to the shiny charm, it's not worth it.
You're resetting with an odds of 1/8192, and that will be something you'll be doing for weeks at the fastest unless you get incredibly lucky.

With the shiny charm in ORAS, I had to soft reset damn near a thousand times to find a shiny Reshiram. And 800 for a shiny Virizion. But then I also got lucky with Cobalion at only 65.
So, try to get a complete Pokedex in ORAS and try for Suicune there. It'll still probably take a while, but it most likely won't take as long as HGSS.

I've done over 20,000 for Latias in SS and I'm not even bored yet. Patience.

Yeah, I wasn't calling you an autist. But you should know that you're completely wasting your time.

You could do this non-stop for a week with no sleep and still get nothing.

>>29679872

Do you never sit back and reflect on the sheer number of times you've resetted a game for a palette swap of a pokemon?

>20,000 times
>mfe

That's obscene even for shiny hunting.

>not just hacking one in
What sense of achievement do you get for resetting a game 5000 times? If anything, I'd feel fucking awful once the initial adrenaline rush passed, realizing I wasted hours of my life resetting for a different colored sprite that I could hack up in seconds.
