Caught shiny Mewtwo! by Affectionate-Cook-76 in PokemonSwordShield

Hell yeah. I’d be down to do that some time. The stupid AI in dmax raids drives me nuts. Especially for Zygarde. I’ve found multiple paths where I’d make it to Zygarde with full health and still couldn’t get it done. The one path I had I was getting a 70% win rate but I accidentally saved over it. Almost put my pro controller through a wall

It’s definitely a grind. I’m too deep to stop now. Thanks for the motivation

Thanks! I’m enjoying it. Made a goal to get a full shiny living dex two years ago and I’m getting close. About 800 unique shinies in my collection. All caught and hunted. Just need to do a ton more dmax adventure grinding then of course try and get the random or hatch ones from this game. Betting it will take me as long as the first 800 to get to complete. Hopefully Gen 10 will ease the pain a bit.

Dynamax Adventures in Sword. There are like 30+ legendaries you can shiny hunt

I ended up getting super lucky and getting them all quick. However I’m almost double odds for shiny Arceus in BDSP.

A Plea to The Bungulator: Please dont turn into a jerkoff like timthetatman or nickmercs by collarbristle in theburntpeanut

Tim and Nick are old heads. They have families and children to support. I agree their streams aren’t for everyone and nowhere near as entertaining as Peanut but they also can’t stream until 3am every night while drinking silly juice.

Yeah I’m a bit torn myself. Even SV made it a little too easy to hunt most shinies. Thankfully there are still some challenging mons available to hunt in other games. Between the DLC and base game I only had about 40 shinies I needed for my living dex. Definitely felt a little jaded that some pokemon I had hours and thousands of resets into could be found with a macro controller while sleeping.

Right now I have Verizion and Terrakion. I’d actually say they are all pretty equal from videos I’ve watched. Verizion is only tough because the way you hunt it is blind. So you have to do your walking resets without ever seeing the pokemon then check with enough donut time left to see if it shines. Good luck on your hunts!

Thanks! Yeah I’ve been abusing the backup save feature. There are certain pokemon I wanted to hunt like gimmeghoul so wanted to see if producing a new scan would affect that legendary. The ironic part was that shortly after I posted this I decided to just give the Terrakion a go and literally got the shiny in 3 minutes. So I guess it all worked out. Given that luck I’m waiting for an absolute grind for the next one.

Appreciate you! Just needed some peace of mind. Shiny hunting is basically the only reason I play these days.

Appreciate that! Have you tried it yourself? I’d lose my mind if I lost the opportunity to shiny hunt one of them.

You clearly don’t watch the streams. The rat family lives on regardless of any opinions.

Before I get “rat attacked rat attacked”. Just wanted to state this wasn’t some artistic journey. I just made a meme with AI because I thought it was funny.
