So, something to rage about: I was training my Feragligator so he could be ready to fight Red (Crystal here).
My body was in automatic (spam Surf), so I barely reacted when a shiny Ponyta appeared in front of me.
I though it was my vision blurring on because I have been knocking out a lot of mons, my brain reacted three pokemons later.
I was like "Fuck, the Hell did I just did?!".
So, yeah, I killed a shiny Ponyta.

Synchronize really helps with natures, you can also manipulate natures with transferring Pokemon from Virtual Console, but I have no fucking clue how it works.

It's been a while since I played Crystal, can you see it in the Pokedex or has that not been implemented yet?

Iwao was too busy appealing to twitch streamers with 1/128 odds to care about the SR boys.
Also just found out that the 3 storyline Alphas are shiny locked, not a huge deal as you can just find them in the wild.

because locking them means they get to give them out later to make them feel special like with zacian and zamazenta, also what another anon said about appealing to streamers who only do increased odds hunts.

got this regular shiny cyndaquil, so that works out. Haven't counted an exact amount but it only took about 50 rifts after perfecting porygon cyndaquil and quilava in the dex for that odds boost.

good game, very much enjoy the pokemon side of things, even with the mediocre textures in the terrain and what not.

While you can't change Hidden Abilities with it, the Ability Capsule in Gen 6 onwards can change a Pokemon's Ability, e.g. Rock Head becomes Sturdy.

I've only seen one shiny in my entire life, it was when I was only 11 years old. It was a fucking koffing that exploded instantly. I'm 27 now.

I've played every single game since then and I've still never seen another shiny.

I had a dream last night that I saw a shiny mew of all things, and when I used false swipe, the game cheated me out and killed the mew anyway.
After that, I saw a shiny chinchou, which inexplicably fled.
Then after that, a hoard encounter of all shiny mareeps. I had to purposefully knock all of them out but one. I used false swipe, and it worked. But I had no pokeballs.

Why?

Why is my own fucking brain torturing me like this? It's like I'm being fucking mocked for even trying, and I can't do anything to stop it. I've been chasing this desire to see another shiny for almost two decades because I've had nightmares like this several times. I just want to have some fucking closure. I don't even like pokemon anymore, but I need to fucking find just one more fucking shiny in my life.

Looking for ultra beasts in ultra wormholes so I can teach them gen 7 tutors I came across a shiny Sigyliph and Yanmega in one day. Nice surprises.

Otherwise my recent hunts had been moon Umbreon, male Dragapult, and a years worth of apricorn fossils.

>do you have pla? if so thoughts?

Yes I have PLA, at first I thought it was tedious, but the dex quests have grabbed me to the point I'm only slowly progressing through the story. No shinies yet

My current shiny hunt is anything. I'm going to be nuzlocking games to practice language skills. Doing fire red right now, and a little sad I didn't run into a shiny metapod. Butterfree looks pretty cool, too. Well, I'm sure that when I fail, I'll get another chance at viridian forest.

I don't think you can force a specific spawn other than just travelling back and forth untill you get it. If you do get one you can use this method to chain that specific pokemon:
>Step 1: Find your outbreak of choice
>Step 2: Go to the area. Save in the camp before you go to your outbreak
>Step 3: Go to the outbreak, check for shinies.
>Step 3.a: If any outbreak pokemon were caught, fainted, or ran away, you need to quit and load the save here. If you save after catching, fainting, or making a pokemon run away, you will lose the outbreak.
>Step 4: If no shinies, go back to camp and leave the area.
>Step 5: If the outbreak is still on the map from Jubilife, you're good to go. If it's not, reset the game and leave the map again from your save. Repeat until its back.
Repeat steps 2-5 until it's shiny. You need to save frequently due to how the outbreaks work. If you don't, your hunt will take a lot longer when you have to reset. Make sure you only save at the base camp and never while in the middle of the outbreak area.

Chain hunting is not a good as it seems.
Even if you do the chain 100% right. Meaning you have your repels, and you go to the farthest grass that you can. You STILL have a 7% for it to fail for no reason after you end the capture/kill the mon.

I figured as such, thanks for confirming though. I'm having enough trouble just getting the damn outbreaks to spawn, sometimes it takes like 5 minutes of map reloads to get a new one to appear.

random encounters you can hunt the same just try not to restart the game super often
soft reset hunts are difficult since you may be seeing rng clones or simply don't have any shiny frames early into opening the game
for starters you can just restart the game every so often to get a new id seed
non starter sr hunts you can watch the battle frontiers battle video to advance the frame youre on to the frame you recorded it as though you had waited that whole time, and record new battle videos at later and later frames as you go to keep seeing new pokemon

I am enjoying it, went in with low expectations as bdsp was a bit of a let down.
Im liking the new catching mechanics, battling feels more fun and a bit faster paced.

So you’re saving at the camp of the area with the outbreak? I’m usually doing this
>save in jubilife
>go to area with outbreak
>travel to outbreak site
>catch them all
>no shiny, then reset the game and repeat
I’m still pretty early game so I don’t have access to braviary, and would doing that be really faster/more efficient than the method I’m using? I’ve been worried to save in the outbreak area since I thought it locks in a predetermined set of mons

I have the suspicion that the seed for at least the first set of spawns is fixed as long as you are reloading from the one jublilife save file. And the reason is because mass outbreak spawns etc will disappear from the map or change from when you're selecting the location in the first method, whereas with the method you are current using and I was using before it's always the same. Of course, we have to wait for a datamine to verify it.

But I guess you could do it another way too
2) travel to the area with the mass outbreak and SAVE there
3) travel as fast as possible to the mass outbreak site and defeat all the pokemon checking for shinies (as each spawn is about 12 if you hit 8 pokemon and see the four respawns if the four is not shiny then a shiny likely does not exist). If not shiny, fast travel back to camp, attempt to travel back to jubilife/ancient retreat.
4) See if the mass outbreak is still there.
but I think travelling to and from jublilife and outbreak site is crucial for a shiny to be able to generate

not that it's a bad thing to get your targets, or random shinies, but I'm getting way too many of these things now that I'm just purely focusing on perfecting dex entry pages & shiny hunting. Least I can feel happy bout the alpha shinies that randomly spawn with both. Currently hunting for shiny cranidos in rifts, though I'm still trying to get it's page perfected.
