Hello /shw/. Just wanted to say thanks. I am not a shiny hunter and never hunted, but reading your stories, your success, your fails, has given me hope. I had a problem. I never played HGSS. I have both, but only my brothers played them. I needed something to motivate me, and as I learnt you can see if the starter is shiny I know it is what I needed. I would never had thought it would work without you, but it did, and in around 100 tries! (I didn't count but it was under two hours of soft resetting and I was doing other stuff as well).
Male, brave nature. My least favorite starter overall but I will take it (funny enough I also got it as a starter on SMD, maybe it is destiny).
Called it Golden for now but would like to hear if you have a better nickname for it.

Nothing yet, waiting for the global mission tally to get above the million mark(last checked, it was over 980,000). Once it does, I'll be breeding for four shiny female Oricorio, three of which nectars will be used on.

Last actual hunt was a shiny female Pichu. The last actual shiny I found was a Magikarp during this global mission.

Masuda Method, mostly for getting the desired nature, ability and such.

Soft-resetting because you get to hunt for legends, starters, and rare Pokemon. For me, it's almost like the same rush as REs, and it just feels special.

SOS I guess. I haven't tried breeding with MM since I only just got the Charm but at least with SOS I can be pretty passive and do other things unlike joystick Tauros circle hell.

Eggs/breeding. It takes work but it allows a lot of control over stats, and I like my shinies able to put up a decent fight.

But then I never battle, because I'm too busy hunting. RIP

Masuda method. It's rewarding(most of the time, aka fuck HA), safe and doesn't require that much attention since it's very mechanical.

Also on a side note for the last 3-4 months I've been hunting nonstop and after Corsola I'll take a break to train the 2 boxes of shinies I hatched. Sometimes I feel sad I don't use the shinies more but I will.

This. Once you put that last parent in you get your seed, and if that fucker is bad you have no way of knowing. And if you think you have a bad seed. You can try taking the parents out, but for all you know the next egg COULD have been shiny. It's a garbage system and it needs to be fixed. Instead of taking shit out like the pelego glitch they need to fix broken shit like this and the whole "rollover" on SOS hunts.

This is literally confirmation bias and you seem to understand that, but don't understand that it's still flawed.

That's how fucking odds work, you dimwit. Sometimes things don't show up. Your only guaranteed way of seeing it show up is repetition until failure.

Probably Hordes, but also probably Random Encounter. Soft Resets are a good one too, because if you have a rubberband, it's more mindless. Especially on a Game Boy Micro, because you only need to press one button.

I've been having fun with SOS hunting as well. But don't you think that nowadays, with hyper training, nature matters most than IVs? Or do you build your strategy based on the nature it's born?

I was under the impression that HGSS had a similar seed/frame mechanic to RSE.
Meaning that if I, theoretically, SR at the same speed every time I would never hit that shiny frame.
Is this completely wrong? I must've misread something reading about the cute charm glitch.

It's been a while since I SOS chained but you don't need heal pulse. Iirc you just knock out whichever mon has been calling for the SOS every once in awhile unless it's a different mon than what the battle was initially with. For example to find Mareanie you have to start with a Corsola so you would wait until there are two Corsola and knock out the one that's been in the battle longer. Leppa berries are a must and you should probably use a Smeargle with Recycle for hunting. Adrenaline orb is of course a must as well and having more than one can save on PP since using a second orb when there isn't an SOS does nothing and doesn't waste your orb. It helps to save before looking to start a chain in case you reach the chain limit without finding the shiny so you can SR to get your berries back. I can't remember what the chain limit is but it may have been mentioned somewhere in the thread or a quick google search should give you the answer. Also Iirc paralyzing the wild mon should stop it from calling for SOS when you find the shiny but I may be wrong about that. Good luck hunting

For anyone curious, shiny Pokemon exist in PBR because NPCs' Pokemon are randomly generated, so there's a 1/8192 chance of getting one, unlike the main games which prevent this from happening.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=lE9g7foDeyo
There's a way to actually get a shiny Pokemon in PBR, but the process of getting them is really tough.
>First, beat the game. Doing this unlocks "Trade Battle", a mode where players can trade in their rental Pokemon for one of their opponent's Pokemon
>play Gateway Colosseum until one of your opponents has a shiny
>if your opponent doesn't use their shiny, you can get another chance if you previously won any matches without losing any mons, by giving up and retrying when your opponent only has one Pokemon left. If you didn't, it's all up to luck.
>beat the trainer once they send out their shiny, and trade one of your Pokemon for it.
>beat Joe and clear the Colosseum. If you retire or get defeated, you'll lose your shiny.
I'd argue that this is probably the hardest kind of shiny to get, even harder than Colosseum's.

Isn't there a glitch anyway making it so that if you trade it off the game it'll roll again for shiny/not shiny (so basically, pretty much making it impossible to have it shiny in RSE)?

I think I've just been really lucky, desu. When USM was announced I decided to start breeding again to make a shiny in-game team, and somehow got a shiny sandshrew, dratini, and mareep all in like 30 hours. Although I was dumbass and tried to soft reset the game and swap the sandshrew into a different Pokemon, but fucked up the Masuda Method and lost it.

I think my copy of the game has a benevolent curse... at the very start of the game, I went to Ten Carat Hill and found a shiny carbink and a shiny machop like two minutes apart, at full odds, first encounter. I didn't even know that carbink was shiny at first, since I'd never seen one before.

shininess is influenced by ivs. Breeding a shiny drastically increases the odds, and if yopu breed a shiny with another shiny, the odds go to the highest possible this side of Cute Charm glitch/outright RNG, at 1/64

It is wrong, the chances are completely random, not because of a specific frame.
Also, these are, hands down, the easiest shiny starters to reset for.

SOS chaining for a shiny Beldum is absolute hell because it only knows Takedown, so you can't False Swipe it or else it'll kill itself. So you rely on Pressure / Orbs which means it struggles faster.

As for the time it would take to find shiny Kyurem, it could take 1 afternoon or even a week, which was the longest i hunted for a legend shiny that being Latias. Tho, i doubt anything ive ever hunted would come to take as much as shiny latias did, so ill rent it for 3 days, after entering the cave i think i can simply trade it back anyways

I have a question. We all know USUM is coming, but something like this would be possible?

>Get 5 Eggs
>Save the game
>Hatch eggs
>See if any of the eggs has a Pokemon that I want
>If yes - reset the game
>Turn on the game again
>The egg I want I put to the PC box
>I hatch the other eggs and release them
>Save the game

My point is: would it be possible to move Eggs via Pokebank or will it be possible to trade Eggs from Moon to Ultra Moon? I think it actually it would be nice to hatch Eggs in another game (since the hatched Pokemon will have OT from Ultra Moon and will listen to me)

Eggs aren't compatible with the bank. The only way to do that is to trade with yourself or ask someone for help.

I actually want to do a monobug UM run but even if I trade Pheromosa and Buzzwole over they are just too high leveled and that sucks since I wanted to use alola only. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed for some new bug type alola form mons

Got a type: null off the GTS, just by regularly refreshing until a good trade came up (which for me was for any old magnezone, and I luckily had one in the pc). Then I just had to trade with a friend for silvally's dex entry. You could just as easily temp trade with someone for type: null's dex entry if they still have it though.

Give him Recycle, Recover, False Swipe, and some damaging move, and make it hold a Leppa Berry. I advise a move that will always hit because some wild pokemon use sand-attack and it's annoying. Find the pokemon you want to chain, False Swipe + Orb, waste turns till it calls out a pokemon, faint it if it's not a shiny, rinse and repeat. Use recycle when you use your Leppa berry, Recover to keep yourself alive. Smeargle is only good because you don't have to stock pile berries or healing items otherwise you can use whatever pokemon you want as long as you've got someone that has False Swipe.

I saw Junichi Masuda at a grocery store in Osaka yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Shiny Charms in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to have a complete Pokedex first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the charms and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any shiny infetterence,” and then turned around and flashed an Oval Charm at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each charm and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yelling "hahaha i dont really know" really loudly.

I tried different mons, but always was out of patience after a chain of ~20. Although I have to say that my last shiny was an unexpected Gumshoos in Tapu Village. I went into the grass, heard the cry and was about to flee, when I thought "Wait... Those aren't usually pink, are they?"
>Shiny Charm?
No. Yes. Something. I got it in Sun, but my miserable hunts were always before that time.
>Question of the thread: Favourite method of obtaining Shinies and why.
SOS-Chaining. It's easy, I don't have to run to the breeder every 5 eggs, and with enough sitrus and leppa berries you can endure any shit.
I'm just too lazy and want to move on to do it properly.
Besides my girl has basically shiny luck for both of us, so most of the time I just request something from her, wait a day or two and she delivers

Not really. To best shiny chain you need:
>A false swipe user who is sufficiently over leveled (50 is pretty good)
>Leftovers
>Adrenaline orbs (2+)
>A move that can reliably OHKO your target (by level 50 that can be pretty much anything)

Just start the SoS chain with one enemy. Use an A. Orb, if it calls for help, KO the non shiny. If it doesn't, just use another A orb, the game won't consume the item. and after about five or so not shiny, switch to the next SOS by false swiping that and KOing the chain start. Use leppa berries if you run out of PP, use status curing berries if you need to.

Before SuMo, you could save, hatch five eggs, SR, then hatch five completely different eggs.

In Gen 7, you can hatch 100 eggs, SR, and you will hatch the same 100.

Does chain fishing exist in SM?
Assuming you use suction cups and the only way to break it is by getting at item.

Chain fishing is just too easy when you only need 20 chains in a row to reach max shiny probability.
Having the chain break with an item would make it more of a challenge.
