I've been hunter 3 hours minimum everyday since Monday on 3 3ds, and have yet to have a shiny encounter. SOS in Moon with charm, horde encounters in Alpha Sapphire with charm, and friend safari in X. Somebody end my suffering.

>>32095164 >45k eggs Fucking hell, i dont even have 5000 hatched total, usually hunt with other methods. Maybe wait for the global event to start hatching again? At least that way you'll get a reward, even if you dont get the shiny. Otherwise i'd just say to run around in the Friend Safari, that's a pretty low effort way to hunt.

Quoted By:
>>32101616 I think it really depends on ow you want to use it. its more challenging to get a mon with the right nature through SoS, also it´ll lack Egg moves, so its mostly not that good if yyou want to use it online.
then again, it can be really faster if you have luck, and you can decide the ball on the go.
i use Masuda, since i either want to use them as comp mons i have to ride the bull.
Also, you can only chain a couple of mons thanks for the limited mons that are native to alola.
So i think the chances are less important than the way you want to use it.
Still, MM should be 1/512 or something, dont remember correctly.

I like it. its the irish word for "integrity", and the name of an old comic called "Slaine the mercenary"

>>32104830 Imagine HG and SS. I play HG as the male (Ethan) and SS as the female (Lyra). So if I name my character Slaine in HG and then in SS I see Ethan, named well, Ethan, it bothers me. I used to name them whatever I wanted until whatever game first has your other MC in-game.
>>32104860 If I'm being honest, that's what I want the most. Then Cyndaquil, then Chikorita. I already have a shiny Meganium (from my original copy of SS) so I'd rather get the other two. But I'll take anything, I like them all.

>>32104893 Oh Arceus why would you tell me that?! That thought hadn't even crossed my mind. Now I'm scared..
After shipping, a little over $200 for the pair, almost new with the Poké Walkers included.

>>32104929 Oh fuck. I'm so sorry man. I wish that GameFreak would've made an obvious difference for it, and it's harder to spot it in Gen 6. Good luck on the reclaim!
>>32104937 The odds of that are fucking ridiculously slim, so you have nothing to worry about. You'd have a better chance winning the lottery, but don't quote me on that, as I could be wrong.
>$200 with PokeWalkers That's not too bad. I have a place in Manhattan where they're selling RBYG/GSC cartridges for $50 with soldered batteries so I can imagine it might cost about $85 for one copy.

Whats the pelago glitch with Masuda?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>32109714 Anon was probably talking about the pelago rollover glitch between Jan. 31st to Feb 1st of 2017, where the game thinks a whole month has passed in pelago and thus any time based things going on in it complete immediately. You can abuse it by setting your 3ds time to Jan 31st 2017 at 23:59 and waiting for the date to rollover in-game and then entering pelago.

What do you guys mean by 'resetting the seed' when doing the magikarp swap trick?
Anonymous
>>32126855 From what I understand, Sun and Moon generate the RNG for egg generation via a random string of numbers when you deposit Pokemon in to breed, and this number can be preserved as long as similar variables are kept. With swap breeding, the seed gets reset through things like removing the Pokemon that was holding the Destiny Knot, adding a Destiny Knot if it wasn't already there, putting a genderless Pokemon in, or even getting the Shiny Charm if you didn't already have it. This infographic goes into it in deeper detail.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>32126983 To clarify, with computer random numbers, the number isn't really random, which is why seed sharing in games like Minecraft and Factorio are a thing. If you have world seeds for either of those games and all the other variables match, you can play the same exact world someone else is playing.
