Maybe do a mini hunt in Shield, since I've grown to really like some of the gen 8 shinies. I'll probably attempt hatterene or wooloo on the side.

I shiny chained for Ralts and Kirlia years ago on Platinum, and got a shiny Hoppip as a random encounter. Also pic related as of half an hour ago.

>What sorts of things do you do/watch in the background while hunting?
Normally I give up after like an hour because I don’t have the patience and I know it can take a long time. I was watching Nostalgia Critic videos and Oneyplays compilations while I was searching this time. It was like 4-5 hours.

Wish me luck on my Nuzlocke.

>What sorts of things do you do/watch in the background while hunting?
I was watching The Sopranos earlier this year for the first time while hunting. Other than that, mostly just Youtube or Twitch. Twitch when I need adderall addict gameplay for getting through rough patches and the boredom and Youtube when the streamers perfect for that are offline (different timezone to burgers) and I have some free time at night. Usually just listen to /x/ greentext compilations because I love the good pastas and campfire stories but got sick of sifting through the low-effort LARPers and genuine schizoposts.

Check all your dens and if you don't have one then save, and join all the 5 star raids you find until you get a shiny. You don't even have to finish them you can just reset if its not shiny because you will be replaced with an AI trainer in the lobby

I wish you much luck. I was so tired of headbutting for Heracross when I got my spearow that I just settled. Luckily when I went for Shroomish it wasn't a particularly long hunt and got it first try.

Thanks for the heads up, despite playing through this game when it came out it looks like I missed a lot of features, sinnoh/hoenn sounds is another.
If this current hunt doesn't give me headbutt ptsd I think I'll go for a few of the post game headbutt hunts.

hunting for the radio shinies is another level of hell. every encounter you can to go back to the pokegear and listen to the radio again. I only bothered with ralts because it was a swarm.

Jesus, what a pain in the ass that is.
Oh well, at least if offers a Pokémon to hunt.
How did the Ralts swarm work? Can you just save in the area and they will continue to appear until you leave? Or does it only last 24 hours.

Last thread I stated I was planning for full ghost shiny team for my Pt run.
Well … I just realized none of them can learn surf. On top of that - aside from gastly, rottom , drifloon, spiritomp and giratina - hunting the ghosts are extremely pain in the ass with shitty encounter rate & shitty timing- night only -.
So I decided to go for pic related after 8100 random encounters to be my fourth member.
Nickname suggestions ?

Question: is the encounter % rate affect chaining sustainability?
Because this one is 40% - swarm - and get to 40 quite easily.
The. I tried with 10% Pokémon, the chain broke 7 times before i get to 30.
