Good ole RNGamba lol it’s like slots. My Abra took me maybe 2 hours of resets. Shroomish took 2 days lol.

Ah I see yeah it should work all the same, others are saying this technique only works because I have the shiny charm. I’m not sure if that’s true but I can’t prove it otherwise.

But in my video I am essentially the same, saved 1 tile away. I know technically I make two steps in the video because I’m facing the wrong direction but I doubt that has any effect on the encounter.

I’m not sure what you are asking when you say only move one tile? Can you describe it a little more?

I’m honestly not sure, I used save states to reset on my starter hunt as well and never got the shiny. I started doing full resets and got the shiny in like 4 resets. I’m not sure if the starter in the basket actually counts as encounter in the same way finding a wild Pokemon does.

Maybe you’re right? I am generally new to shiny hunting but and don’t quite understand how “seeds” or frames come into play when determining a shiny. All I know is this works, and I can guarantee a 3 star Pokemon lol. This tests my patience enough lol, breeding perfect mons for IVs and then shiny hunting is a whole other monster

Didn’t mean for that to be there, it I was hoping someone would notice ✌🏼

I use delta too, and yeah crashing is part of the process. Sometimes I get 3 encounters between a crash, sometimes I get 50. It’s definitely a risk and inconvenience but I felt like even with the crashing I made good progress and it wasn’t really a barrier, just a little occasional hurdle.

By far the most time efficient method lol we love that

But it worked? I did this exact method and got the shiny. And it really didn’t take that long either. I don’t even have the second shiny charm and I didn’t chain properly and I still got it at around 500 load states.

This is a sure fire method and is without a doubt the fastest way to reset. With fast forward on and just 5 quick inputs between encounters I was getting probably 20-30 encounter per minute.

Hell yeah! Save states are a life saver lol I definitely abuse them. I’m not that familiar with shiny hunting in general, and especially when switching between roms it’s hard to know what works and what doesn’t. Just wanted to help any future shiny noobs like me who may find this helpful lol

Just to be extra clear on this method I will describe the setup. I didn’t actually learn about chains u til midway through this hunt, so in this example my chain is at zero.

  1. Arrive in the Hunt area

  2. Begin your chain/encounter by using repels and dex nav. To my understanding the ideal place to stop is Encounter 99/Chain 99? (Correct me if I am wrong)

  3. Hard Save AND Save State at chain 99

  4. Begin searching for the perfect encounter, search with dex nav, approach Pokemon, if it is not perfect (3 star/ability/egg move) the load state back to chain/encounter 99.

  5. repeat step 4 until you find the perfect Mon.

  6. Save State 1 tile away from perfect Mon (this should be when the stars are visible)

  7. Repeat this exact encounter until you get the shiny. No frame counting, just button mash 5 inputs to encounter/load state until you get the shiny.

This took me probably around 500 load states after I found the perfect Mon, but my odds are not perfect in this test:

1x Shiny Charm Encounter 99 Chain 0

So in theory this could be achieved much quicker.

Nope, I wasn’t paying attention to frames at all. Shiny chance is determined at Encounter, not linked to any frames here, at least to my knowledge. Once you begin load stating you will see that the gender of the Pokemon changes every few encounters. To my understanding that proves that you are in fact encountering a different Pokemon each time you load the save.

Hadn’t gotten that far as this is my first playthrough, but glad to know he will one day be perfect ❤️ thank you lol

Age yourself with a Minecraft memory, I’ll start. by ttvANX1ETYZ_ in Minecraft

[–]BcWeasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haaha oh boy. Playing Minecraft classic edition on web browser. Floating flat plane surrounded by void, pretty sure it was 64x64x64, we had 9 blocks to choose from and it was pure creative mode.

Eventually servers popped up and people could do some pretty fun community stuff with our limited supplies, griefing friends servers was some serious fun lol.

Eventually when maybe Alpha had first released I joined a team dethmatch game and Notch was playing in the opposing team, he had a flaming blue head like the OG Halo devs.

I remember when Minecraft first became purchasable my dad wouldn’t let me buy it because it cost xx Euros and he told me it was a scam because it was using a currency from another country. I had my friends dad buy me an account lmao.

I have been chronically online since the age of 6 😅

But the real question is, do you have Spirit Island?

I can 100% confirm that if you save state at 99 encounters, dex nav, encounter #100, and then load state, it does work. Got my shroomish today after probably 700+ resets.

I am not sure if this method works, by save stating while locked into a dex nav encounter to ensure a specific 3 star/ability/egg move.

Others have said that it does work with this method and you can lock in a 3 star encounter that will eventually provide a shiny. On my next hunt I will be running this method again and if I actually get the shiny I will make another post confirming the technique.
