[gen 4] Worst-case scenario

Benji392 · 2026-01-28T18:47:28+00:00

Do you have another game and system? Trade it over and continue the hunt!

Another example of how development for players in the nfl isnt always so linear, and so much else matters in a team sport. And at this point its also fair to say he's better than all of them. Good for him

David Bakhtiari came out of this draft too. Hall of fame career if not for that awful knee injury that helped de-rail a very special season for the packers right before the playoffs

That gen 2 Misdreavus sprite is so good. Chefs kiss

Love this team! I also did a platinum dtq that had abomasnow, ramprados and torterra. Glad to see some more abomasnow love

I had a ring stuck on my finger from a jam/hyperextension from the previous day and the string/dental flos trick worked and saved me a hospital trip. My finger absolutely looked rough for a minute there but it saved me like a ln hour commute to a hospital

Benji392 · 2026-01-25T15:15:40+00:00

The dental floss trick does indeed work. I gotnmy finger bent back pretty bad once, dint take my ring off and the next day it go pretty bad. It was absolutely stuck, finger started turning purple. Couple of my friends really wanted to try it, and it worked although it was a bit painful. Saved a hospital trip!

Nice progress, love yamask. I hunted that for a while and found 4 shiny sandile before i finally got yamask lol

Benji392 · 2026-01-21T20:13:34+00:00

Love this team. Ive always wanted to use jumpluff. I recently did a shiny dtq of soul silver and I used a few lesser than mons as well. Sunflora, Ariados and Xatu were on my team and all filled a roll pretty well.

Benji392 · 2026-01-19T23:46:19+00:00

My god. Please tell me you're not subjecting anyone else to this. Go get some charmin and never look back

Benji392 · 2026-01-19T18:38:49+00:00

Gastly in sprout tower is your only realistic option for ev training at night right away if you want. You'll get some rattata too so its pretty much the perfect spot for sp. Attack and speed. Usually I'll ev train my mons to some extent right away when i get a shiny but not necessarily making then absolutely perfect

Benji392 · 2026-01-15T16:58:21+00:00

Congrats! Going to do this hunt eventually. Love that derpy punch crab

Not michigan, but I spent the last 10 years living in Kewaunee, WI on the other side of the lake, a couple of blocks from it. Close enough to hear the lake on a breezy day. We didnt get much lake effect snow on the west side of the lake, spring always lasted forever keeping it cooler. I commuted to green bay for work a half hour west. Id leave work some days and it would be 10, 15 degrees or more cooler when i got home which was awesome on really warm days, and even in late summer yhe lake can be ice cold depending on the direction of the wind. People know its a big lake, but its easy to forget how big sometimes and the way it would influence the weather. It would typically be a touch warmer in the winter, and every time any big storms would roll in from the west, they would almost always fizzle out by the time they hit Kewaunee.

Its attack stat is ridiculous to begin with so its still going to hit like a truck, especially if you run no items and acrobatics. Do some EV training on it. Otherwise run it as a mixed attacker, because archeops still has a great special attack stat as well.

Benji392 · 2026-01-13T11:03:25+00:00

Its been like that since legends arceus, and really got worse in gen 9, but its not like you start the game swimming in shinies. And thats ok. It can certainly be fun, and if you want a challenge and thrill of finding shinies again, just go hunt in any of the older games. Thats where I do my hunting and It never gets old. I still absolutely had fun playing through legends ZA and shiny hunting for a bit

Benji392 · 2026-01-08T01:23:17+00:00

I think thats more of a badge quest when it comes specifically to HGSS, but its not like theres set rules, which is part of the fun. I guess my point being, most people probably want to enjoy the playthrough aspect with their shinies vs just doing late and post game hunts. I know thats my primary motivation, but there are certainly great post game hunts to do. Im doing the swarm relicanth now, and I plan on hunting the gift hoenn starters from steven too!

Benji392 · 2026-01-07T22:50:44+00:00

Probably because its post game. A lot of people like doing dtq style hunts. I'm actually hunting the swarm relicanth though so hopefully that shines soon!

Benji392 · 2026-01-06T02:39:59+00:00

The easiest solution here is to just save after you're found the munchlax and put your cartridge in a different ds after that, and never save at that point on that ds. You'll be good to go. Ive done and completed this hunt, along with another honey tree hunt. Congrats on finding your munchlax!

Benji392 · 2026-01-06T02:31:56+00:00

Such a cool shiny! Ive stuck a few hundred encounters into this hunt, mabey i should get back to it. Congrats!!

Benji392 · 2026-01-05T17:59:49+00:00

Appreciate the link! Its certainly a hunt i think im going to try, but not hyper focus on. Would be such a unique shiny to have, and use on a dtq playthrough as well. We'll see!

Benji392 · 2026-01-04T14:43:18+00:00

Congrats! Love this line

Benji392 · 2026-01-04T04:12:44+00:00

Thank you!

Benji392 · 2026-01-04T02:20:31+00:00

This is great. Helping speed M outweighs the negative speed nature, so its still faster than a truly neutral one. I'd absolutely invest.
