>>58581405To be fair, Z-A only has like 200 Pokemon, AND has overworld encounters, meaning shinies should be easy as fuck.
>>58581622>started the series mid-Pokemania with Blue>interacted with every facet of the franchise back then>played every non-Switch Pokemon game, including most of the spinoffs>played Sword and PLA on Switch>Sword was basically diarrhea outside of the sovlful starter intros because that's the only thing TPC knows how to do anymore>PLA is more of a "man, this game would be so cool if-" game than an outright good one>outside of Pokemon Infinite Fusion, Go, and any mandatory shinies, I've gotten like 3-4 shinies ever (one wasn't even on my game, I was dicking around playing on someone else's 3DS. It was a shiny Finneon, ha. Still caught it though.)>this includes shiny breeding, SOS battle chains, farming for Pokemon, including grinding eggs for like a hundred hours in USUM only to get literally zero shiniesIt might be sour grapes, but man, I've given up on trying to get shinies, especially since they'd probably end up being ass anyway, like having a physical attacker get an ATK- nature, or getting a Pokemon with the wrong ability.
My favorite Pokemon of all time is shiny Murkrow with Super Luck, so knowing I'd grind that long only for me to get the coin flip wrong just pisses me off in advance, so I'd rather not bother.
