By the 4,715th egg I should have a 99.9% chance to have previously hatched at least one shiny. Hopefully I won't need to hatch another 4595 eggs, but you never know.

Soft resetting sucks. Assuming you're playing Gen 2-5 where full odds are 1/8192, 5000 soft resets would give you only a 45.7% change of encountering a shiny. If you want a 99.9% chance of encountering a shiny you'd need to soft reset 56585 times. Assuming you can do 3 soft resets in a minute that's around 314 hrs or 13 days of shiny hunting, not factoring in sleeping, bathing, eating, etc.

I got shiny meadow scatterbug in 660 ish eggs recently and a jumbo shiny cyclizar on my second shiny in violet. Funny enough I was doing it to take a break from Tauros and got that shiny jumbo in one sandwich.

Been trying to get a shiny fug through through max lair adventures in shield.
No dice, think I'm around attempt number 60-70ish.
However I DID find a shiny dusclops through those, which I've been trying to get for like a year and half through breeding and got nothing after like 850 eggs, then SV released.
And then I got sick of SV after doing like 2.5k eggs of charmander

Caught a shiny Grubbin (since evolved into Vikavolt) about a week ago the same way.

>Have you ever given up on a hunt? Or do you persist until job's done?
Given up plenty of times. Never had success in past gens with Poke Radar or Masuda method + Shiny Charm. SOS battles is the only one I've had consistent results with. Having said that, I gave up the hunt for shiny Bruxish. Didn't want it that bad, just thought that another green-red shiny would match the other 2 shinies I caught recently.

Anyways what should I nickname these dudes?

Is there a reason so many people choose to ask for Kubfu in particular when they put a shiny up on the GTS? Yeah there’s only one and you have to evolve it to complete the IoA story but it only takes a couple of hours to get one through a second Switch account.

Nothing at the moment. Too busy with irl. Planning on a belated, personal Safari Week in August to make up for it though.

>How are you hunting it?
See above. Will probably end up sticking to Emerald because 1) I’m a pussy and 2) you’ll know if you read below

>Previous successes?
God, I don’t even know. I haven’t hunted in so long that I can’t remember. Probably a random Lechonk I found after pirating Scarlet pre-release? So I guess Oinkologne because I evolved it.

>Have you ever given up on a hunt? Or do you persist until job's done?
I’ve only ever given up on 2: a full-odds Platinum Chimchar, which had already cost me a quarter of a year without a break (that I picked up again and found around a month later), and a Smeargle reclaim in the Johto Safari Zone. I found 3 shiny Smeargle that ran away, and by the time the fourth one had fled I didn’t have the will to keep going. I’ll probably return to it someday, but I’m not sure if I’ll do it in the Safari Zone. Smeargle’s one of my all-time favorite shinies, so seeing one flee so many times is hurting a bit more than it would usually.

Has the shiny grind changed much for SV?
I tried culling a Tatsugiri outbreak til I had the 'not many left' message, ate a shiny/title/humongo sandwich, then starting spawning in and running away from the little bastards to hopefully make a white one show up, but no luck yet.

Gen 9 stuff is pricey as fuck and since I'm doing a shitton of max lairs hunting for shinies I figured I might as well use those ores and trade them for XL candies and use gen 8 as a hyperbolic time chamber

Yes, anything in Gen 9 can move back and forth if coded in a Gen 8 game. If anything you could farm some Gen 9 events whenever available, depending on which one they award a bunch of L and/or XL candy. 7 stars are good for both of those but you could farm event 5 stars too since those are spread wider in the map before having to change your Switch's clock

Not recently. I got back into hunting after a few months, starting again with roaming Entei/Raikou in HGSS which haven't shined after 6800 seen. I hope to get them soon. Taking a small break to start the S/LG DTQs.

Spent two days spamming for a Shiny female Cetoddle, finally got one with the cloud mark, but she's on the smaller side which is a little sucky for the big whale mon.

Tried using the location next to Zapatos, but that sucked and gave me too many wrong mon (plus 4 male cetoddle, ouch), reset at least 30-40 times for a horde on the ice mountain and finally got it there with a lv3 ice encounter/shiny/title sandwich.

Yes you can.
Here's an autistic guide I made like half a year ago for /wfg/ that goes in depth on how to do shiny hunts for co-op.

This is aimed towards Area Zero Co-op hunts so you can get all the shiny paradoxes with your OT and ball of your choosing but the main stuff should work perfectly fine for any co-op hunt, including sandwich recipes.

Just keep in mind:
>You can both catch any 1 shiny spawn as long as you do it correctly so whenever anyone of you finds a shiny, you can both catch it as long as you follow the method
>Save before the picnic
>You cannot see each other in co-op if you're in area zero
>Make sure to spread if you're hunting near the same areas, if you're on the same areas you're just gonna get the same spawns and you're both checking spawns that the other already checked

I've never tried hunting in the Gen 3 games, but I do know Emerald has some fucky RNG stuff going on so that it's actually not random.

I know how this affects static encounters, but how does it work for wild encounters? I want to do some random encounter hunts in Emerald, but from what I've read it's basically not possible if you can't just leave your GBA on forever, since once you reset your seed is back to the start too. Is that correct?

It's hard to hit repeat frames if you reset, and I believe you can manually refresh your seed in lilycove, but I'm not entirely sure. I bought a soldering iron kit and some batteries on Amazon for like $20 total and replaced all the batteries in my cartridges. It wasn't that hard and I'm a dumbass.
