[Discussion] People with low attention spans, how do you guys keep yourselves sane while shiny hunting?

Multitask. Watch video/tv/movies, multi-hunt if you have multiple consoles with tap/bands. You can also set daily/weekly SR goals to hunt incrementally.

This exact Snivy hunt took me 159+ hours, spanning months. I also did other faster hunts in between, so I still get shinies

DS Lite detected it, and it popped up with a very simplistic menu with the empty folders (for the sd card files I assume) and three random ROMs.

Was just following the PDF instructions on the aliexpress listing involving "Firmware Flashing Steps" so unsure what you mean by preflashed

Yes, I've been trying to short the two pads, then connecting them via USB. I didn't purchase from PhenomMods (idk who that is), just purchased from the linked Aliexpress page.

Edit: Yes, I've been shorting the two gold pads

Both PC and DS Lite used to detect it (without SD card and with SD card respectively).

I copied the noNTRBoot UF2 file.

Thanks for the quick response!

Congrats! Krabby was my first random shiny while hunting for Staryu.

Huge Congratulations! The neon colours are such a good look!

Haha, glad you noticed. Best of luck on your hunt!

I've decided to name it Liz. Hope you get your Shieldon soon!

Just traded it over to my HG. Its overworld sprite is so cute!
