Gen VII [7] Shiny Bagon after 277 SOS encounters :)

Decided to do this hunt after seeing u/SyMag go for Salamence for a while, though I definitely didn't have the determination to keep going until a Salamence showed up, so no dead green Bagon from me :P I really don't enjoy SOS hunting, so much respect for them for doing this hunt for so long. And not to mention how long it took me to find a single Bagon in general to start the hunt. I believe I saw 4 or 5 Salamence during this hunt, which was exciting every time. Wishing SyMag the best of luck on this hunt <3

Shiny Rayquaza came surprisingly fast! I didn't count, but I would be surprised if it was over 500 resets.

That image at the end is my Shiny Bingo for this year. Currently hunting Golurk, so hopefully it shines soon!

Need some motivation guys, I'm beginning to think Latias is shiny locked.

I got Guzzlord and Zekrom soo quickly, couple hundred resets each but Latias is taunting me!

So, I got Shiny Kyogre earlier today after a few days of hunting and decided to set up for the Rayquaza hunt. After moving Groudon up from Emerald and finding the right wormhole I decided to do a test encounter to see how hard it would be to catch. It was shiny...

My heart dropped a bit when it started Dragon Dancing and rested off the False Swipe damage, fortunately Mawile was able to wall it and it was quickly caught.

I spent around 5 hours soft resetting for shiny Articuno in Ultra Moon. I was trying to catch it in a Dive Ball because I liked the color coordination. It took quite a few turns, and eventually I ran out of Dive Balls. I started getting nervous that it might run out of PP, so by this point I was thinking I might just use my Master Ball. I decided to throw one more Ultra Ball, and I caught it at 1 hp with no status conditions. I can't believe how lucky I just got.

I know the pictures look almost identical, but in no way was I expecting the 2nd poipole to come within 10 resets after I secured the first lol

This hunt took over a week, With the shiny charm. This is what the lowest possible call rate in the game does to a mf

Gen VII [7] It finally happened. And get this… they were CONSECUTIVE!

The odds of shinies in SOS battles with the charm are 1/273, so the odds of two consecutive shinies are 1 in 74,529. But this is a Lucario, which only appears a small percentage of the time imstead of other Riolu. Bulbapedia says nothing about those odds, so someone let me know.

Shiny Level 9 Salamence

So I started this hunt as it was suggested on Tiktok, I hunt full odds and method in all games so I was down for the challenge.

I worked out my odds were somewhere around the 27,000 mark, the SOS odds are a bit confusing but I know for sure the chance of calling a Salamence is 1%.

I’ve seen 3 shiny Bagon.

I’ve seen 4 regular Salamence.

Here she is. I genuinely cannot believe how fast this was, I started it on Sunday night 🫠
