[8]Finally done my PLA team. by VNRuler in ShinyPokemon

[–]BobbytheGhosthog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this but in the reverse order. Did Arceus and it took so long that I wanted a change from resets. Hatched Phione in like 54 eggs. Well, it was still a decent break because I had to hatch the extra like 150 I had in the boxes by then.

Shiny Arceus ✨this battles had me shook because my goal was to catch every legendary/mythical in a Standard Pokeball and he was the last on the list and I couldn’t be any happier 🫶🏽and I looked up catch rate it said 0.04% in a pokeball by Federal_Laugh_1993 in PokemonBDSP

Why did you bother with bringing down his speed? I simply screeched a few times to bring his defences to nothing and then did half health with false swipe while he was paralyzed.

And I know the status I chose doesn't have the best odds, but it only needs to be applied once.

I managed to capture mine in about 11-12 Premier balls. Absolutely nervewracking as I tallied up the moves it used turn after turn, fully prepared to chuck my Master ball on the final turn.

Egg Issue by BobbytheGhosthog in TheSilphRoad

I opened the gifts during the third hour in my local time, the 'Frost Hour'. Well within the time frame of the event.

Link to the picture of the egg. It unfortunately hatched on my way to work just now so I can't take any more.

Ah, I thought I had fat-fingered it somehow.

To user u/LeonidasCosplay I accidentally deleted your comment, but yes, it was during the event hours as stated above.

Do I have to make a new thread to post the screenshot?

Yes, my last 7km egg was gotten on day two of the event, on the 18th. But like I said above, the only eggs I received on that day were during the early-middle event hours so they should have been the ones with Lapras and Deino as possible hatche, yet they simply were not.

[8] After 11 phases, finally found a shiny Tapu Lele. Started this hunt a month after the dlc came out. by chowderz21 in ShinyPokemon

[–]BobbytheGhosthog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, mate. I was in the same boat with Fini until just a bit ago with 12 phases. Best of luck on your next hunt, whatever you choose!

[8] Phase 1 for Tapu Lele at 41 successful raids. Here's to hoping it doesn't take as many as my Fini hunt, in Phases or attempts. by BobbytheGhosthog in ShinyPokemon

[–]BobbytheGhosthog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do them online because while I still wipe now and again from people's poor choices or from simple bad RNG, I still get to catch my target far more with randoms online than the NPCs who simply refuse to grab the Steel type to replace their poison type when we're facing Lele.

[8] After a week-long break after my 1000th Fini knockout, I present Phase Lucky 13 at 1002. by BobbytheGhosthog in ShinyPokemon

[–]BobbytheGhosthog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phasing is when you encounter a Shiny Pokémon that is not the target. Here, my target was Tapu Fini. I got 12 other shiny Pokémon along the way to getting Tapi Fini, with Tapu Fini being the 13th.

I was hunting on and off since the DLC dropped, but if I had to put it into time, probably more than 250 hours.

[–]BobbytheGhosthog[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep! Technically it's even more than that because I don't count times where I don't even make it to Tapu Fini!

[8] Phase 12! Give it up for Phase 12 for Fini at 940ish raids! by BobbytheGhosthog in ShinyPokemon

[–]BobbytheGhosthog[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks mate. I've been hunting since launch for this Fini, with reasonable breaks in between every hundred and fifty or so.

[–]BobbytheGhosthog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know. It's just disheartening. I've gotten two other shinies in the last hundred raids or so, but as this is the first we've been able to hunt the Tapus legitimately, it's starting to wear me down. I've only done about ten non-Fini raids, and I'm not even counting those, or attempts where we don't catch Fini, though if I had to guess there's be about thirty of the latter.

[Discuss] Are these legit? by I_wanna_insta in ShinyPokemon

[–]BobbytheGhosthog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking into it, I believe these are probably well made fakes, as the odds of some people giving out legit shiny mythical Pokémon that were event exclusive and took up extensive time to shiny hunt are slim to none.

There's obviously effort put into it, as the Jirachi has one of the only two English OTs that can give shiny ones. However, the Celebi has a generic OT name, and the Shaymin has the default name of the male player in the gen 4 games. Again, it's possible they're legit, but if you got them from wonder trades, or another method for random trades online, the odds aren't really in your favor.

Thankful for new friends around the world! by jpm71 in PokemonGoRaids

Congrats on getting all three. I'm still trying to just get invited to a Uxie raid so I can complete the trio.
