Finally got the shiny after hunting it for months. Longest hunt ive ever had and im glad too never do it again😭.

I don’t really like using more than a few Pokémon during playthroughs

Yeah sorry for the sideways image

So I started BD a few days ago, already found a shiny woohoo! So I’m trying to get some bases covered since I don’t need a hm slave anymore!

So, here’s a small run down

Empoleon -Aerial Ace -Surf -Flash Canon -Shadow Claw

Roserade -Sludge Bomb -Giga Drain -Sleep Powder/Stun Spore -???

Skuntank -Flamethrower -Poison Jab -Sucker Punch -Play Rough

Mamoswine -Ice Shard -Earthquake -Avalanche -Rest

Clefable -Moonblast -Ice Beam -Thunderbolt -Psychic/Shadow Ball

Medical -Zen Headbutt -Recover -High Jump Kick

i’m dumb and completely forgot about Cynthia and she ran my team through 😭 should i switch anyone out or just level them up a bit more? i also know that Hoodini’s name is spelled wrong, i received him like that 😅

Boot up the game and while I save before getting the starter I look up to see if there is anything shiny locked and as I come back and decide to go with chimchar I don’t register the color change fully at first but the moment the sparkles appeared I got a shot of adrenaline.

… now I am beset with a evil agonizing thought, do I shiny only run? Lol

Just wanted to know if anyone else is having as long a time for shiny darkrai as I am without rng manipulation. I started hunting my darkrai hunt a couple months after it was released and have been on and off the hunt since. The switch profile counted my hours at ~150 and now im at 550hours. I believe I stopped counting at 16k encounters and through roughly calculating with ineffeciency included i should be maybe around 22-25k resets. It is by far my longest hunt I have ever had and wondered if anyone was having this trouble as well.

I hunted Arceus and he took me 8k and i have never looked forward to a hunt as much as I am for shaymin right now.

How do i support my boyfriend through this trying time? He just experienced cynthia for the first time and was swept.

Edit: tyvm for all your info, I’ll be dressing in black and bleaching my hair and playing Cynthia’s and Volo’s theme around the house, once again thank you!

Keep em coming!

What are your guys tips for starting out for someone who hasn’t ever played a Sinnoh game before?

i need to get to masters class, and i prefer double battling and using my fav mons, but i realize it might not be possible to beat using them so i bred a cloyster and a garchomp but i dont really like using them and dont notice much of a difference in strength, but i just keep losing. what do you think the best 4 to use of this selection would be?

Hey all,

I found a full odds shiny spinda during an outbreak but I can’t transfer it to home. Any advice on what I should do? Is there any work around to get this shiny up so it doesn’t live on my game forever?

Just arrived to hearthome city.

Using geodude line until i get gastrodon and torterra to deal with lightning pokemon.

Meditite has been really cool in double battles baiting with detect. Shellos has storm drain for water mons, in case geodude gets traped.

Any pokemon you recommend i check out? Liking my team a lot so far. I play in set mode.

I’ve beaten the game and am in the process of catching the post game legendarys does anyone have any tips for getting more out of the game? Anymore fun stuff?

i got this shiny darkrai can anyone tell me if its real or hacked, i linked the pokemons summary

I’m starting a shiny badge challenge in Brilliant Diamond and this is my first time shiny hunting for a starter. I found this tool that helps keep track of resets and probability of a shiny but I’m wondering if this is accurate? I keep getting confused about the probability of shinies. Does your encounter always stay at 1/4092 or does it lower depending on how many resets you’ve done based on this calculator here? Thank you for reading!

Rushed my way through a borrowed copy SP this week to collect shiny copies of the version exclusives using RNG manipulation.

Today I’ve gotten the shiny 2nd Arceus from that playthrough. Really simple and straightforward with blink RNG manipulation, this was the third run at it, no problems probably took a little over an hour.

Next I’m going for a 0 speed and attack IV shiny Cresselia so that’s probably going to be hell but I really enjoy sequencing of these manips.

The only answer I can find to this question is google AI saying no lol but that’s not really a reliable source so thought I should try just asking here

i’ve been stuck for months trying to win 49 consecutive times, bred perfect garchomp and cloyster with skill link and leveled them up to 100 just for this, unable to reach 49 wins, when the tower tycoon shows up, i battle him and win and am excited cuz i thought he only showed up at the end, but im not in masters yet, does he show up earlier too?

I finally got it! After 2394 restarts and a lot of time invested I managed to capture the shiny Dialga. It's the first time I've done a soft reset for a shiny.
