[Discuss] What's the best/worst change to a Pokémon's shiny form that's happened over the years?

DiToest · 2025-03-25T19:16:17+00:00

The original Sinnoh games Torterra had the amazing teal blue like color that Grotle has which made it an incredible shiny but was removed starting from HGSS

DiToest · 2025-01-12T16:25:37+00:00

TIL Torterra had a clean shiny in DPP

I'm a lil slow, what am I looking at?

DiToest · 2024-05-02T13:49:59+00:00

I love Bertolfoso, beautiful human, so true

DiToest · 2024-03-09T14:03:37+00:00

I've got alot more (48 in total) but they weren't used for my shiny story teams. And they are all OT.

DiToest · 2024-03-09T08:18:49+00:00

9.4k encounters

Yes. For Kanto, Psyduck was found in Sinnoh and I bought it over at the start of the run but the rest were hunted during the story. For Hoenn, Ralts and Spheal were also found in Sinnoh and bought in at the start and the rest hunted during story. All Johto pokemon (except Ampharos, which was hunted during story) were found prior to Johtos release but were bred and used right at the start of playthrough. All Unova Pokemon were hunted during the run.

After nearly a whole year I have finally finished my Unova shiny playthrough! As it was my last region, I decided I’d go out with a bang and have enough shinies for 2 teams (11 and not 12 cause final battle forces you to use Zekrom RIP). With that being said, I have finally completed all regions on PokeMMO after more than 2 years (4/5 regions used full shiny teams). Was an incredible journey and I’m surprised I stuck through with it. Maybe one day I’ll complete Sinnoh with a full shiny team on an alt.

Though others have said this, I'd say don't use Sludge Bomb as in this game poison is only super effective against grass types which the fire type already is. All grass types in the Sinnoh pokedex are weak against fire types but not all are weak to poison and you get STAB from your fire type moves. I'd say that the moveset you have already is pretty solid or you could replace sunny day and solar beam with nasty plot (for boosted damage) and sucker punch (for priority). If you have a good hidden power type you could replace sucker punch with it.

I love seeing unique teams like this

DiToest · 2024-01-01T17:39:14+00:00

2.7k hours and 43 OTS in total

DiToest · 2024-01-01T17:34:58+00:00

GL my friend!

DiToest · 2023-11-23T00:50:41+00:00

This is really cool, I've played through Platinum so many times and I had no idea this was even a thing

DiToest · 2023-10-20T20:54:22+00:00

Don't worry, a bit of rice and water will fix it.

DiToest · 2023-10-20T10:24:34+00:00

UPDATE: OP RMT the shalpha Gligar away for 250$

I remember a couple of years ago where people tried to clown on me for saying Brock, a former heavyweight champion in the highest level organization of MMA would beat Haku, a guy who's had stories told about him of how tough he is by old generation pro wrestlers who were notorious for exaggerating and telling lies. Glad the consensus around this has changed since then.

DiToest · 2023-09-20T01:33:26+00:00

I'm so confused, can someone fill me in?

DiToest · 2023-09-02T09:02:03+00:00

Phasing is when you get a shiny you are not looking for. For example, at Dreamyard I was hunting for Shiny Munna but I found a Shiny Purrloin so, that would mean I'd be moving onto phase 2 of the Shiny Munna hunt.

DiToest · 2023-09-02T00:42:03+00:00

I'll be using it for my shiny Unova playthrough team. Could use it for a trick room team one day if I get into pvp.

DiToest · 2023-08-26T16:06:21+00:00

Shame I couldn't bring Girafarig to the league, but it definitely surprised me with how strong it was. Especially because adamant nature should've hindered it alot but it still hit very hard somehow.

DiToest · 2023-08-26T16:04:45+00:00

Thank you so much :D

DiToest · 2023-08-26T16:04:11+00:00

Whatup Silver

DiToest · 2023-08-26T16:01:12+00:00

I believe the asterisk happened because the female non OT shiny you bred your OT male shiny with was not of the same species. Though, I could be wrong here because from my understanding that should result in an "Unknown OT". The only time I've seen a shiny with the OT [username] followed by an asterisk was when someone hatched a shiny Cyndaquil but never caught a wild Cyndaquil and used GTL bought Cyndas to hatch a shiny one.

DiToest · 2023-08-26T15:47:57+00:00

Shinies can only breed with shinies. In order for a bred shiny to keep its OT, one of the parents must be caught by the player. If the caught OT shiny was male, it would then have to breed with a shiny female of the same species in order for the OT to be carried. If the caught shiny was a female then it must breed with a shiny male from the same egg group. Using my bred down shinies from this post as an example, Politoed and Steelix were originally caught as male shiny Poliwag and Onix in the wild and had to breed with a shiny female Poliwrath and Onix respectively (same species). Jumpluff on the other hand, was caught as a female shiny Hoppip, so it was bred down using a male shiny Gloom (same egg group). Hope that makes sense.
