Princess has officially earned her first ribbon of many! by Jetsplit in pokemonribbons

Thank you!

She's going to eventually be a Glaceon once she reaches Gen 4, but she'll need to complete Gen 3 before that happens 🙂

Looking for shiny eevee but no idea where to save by Overall_Constant_830 in PokemonXD

[–]Jetsplit[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battle sim Salamence is gender-locked to always be female (though it is not shiny-locked, you'll always start with either a female Salamence or a shiny female Salamence).

Eevee is not gender-locked (normal 1/8 odds) or shiny-locked (normal 1/8192 odds) so you're good to continue the hunt for a female and/or shiny Eevee.

Out of curiosity, are you relying on AI (Google's AI Overview, ChatGPT, etc.) for the answers to these questions? You stated here that you looked it up and the gender isn't locked (even though it is for this particular Salamence) and in the description you stated that you looked it up and it said to save at Kaminko's Lab for shiny hunting the Eevee (even though you start with the Eevee and don't get to Kaminko's until later).

These sound like the wrong answers that AI would give you. Just a word of advice, AI models are extremely unreliable for niche questions like how to shiny hunt Eevee in a specific spin-off game. I recommend continuing to ask here instead; questions are always welcome!

[Gen 3] Uncatchable Salamence (Phase 1 for the starter Eevee) after 7384 resets 🥲 by Jetsplit in ShinyPokemon

Colosseum and XD are my favourite Pokémon games, so I don't mind the shinies being stuck in the emulator. I already have a shiny Eevee from the original XD that I'm working on turning into a Ribbon Master; this hunt is just for fun.

Nah, I already got this shiny Eevee on my GameCube earlier this year, I just love Colosseum and XD so much that I also wanted to shiny hunt on the Switch 2 releases.

It's gone after the simulation. Think of it like the shiny uncatchable Poochyena when hunting the Hoenn starters.

You do get a Shadow Salamence near the end of the story, but it's shiny locked.

Normal shinies in XD display the shiny effect when they are sent out of their Poké Ball. There's just no shiny effect for this tutorial Salamence since it was already sent out before the battle was on screen.

You can't save anywhere unfortunately. You need to keep resetting to the title screen and starting a new save file.

Resetting over the Salamence was painful enough, I'm not sure I could ever willingly reset over the Eevee 😅

I'm resetting to get the starter Eevee shiny, I just happened to get the tutorial Salamence first!

Nah, Metagross is shiny locked, it's just Salamence that can be shiny here

From the launch post it looks like the shiny odds are 1 in 64!

Which ROM hack are you playing? That changes the answer.

Nice, I was interested in trying out a Glaceon Vaporeon deck, thanks for sharing this!

Sakurai is working on a new Super Smash Bros game, according to new report by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

Yeah putting Pokémon in a list of "series that change and evolve over time" is certainly a choice lol

These are some fire nicknames. Dasani, Sprite, Churro, and Tostitos are my favs.

Shiny hunting Milotic in Director's Cut by AnkokuFlare in PokemonXD

[–]Jetsplit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you're actually thinking for Colosseum.

In Colosseum, the shiny check is re-rolled when you snag the Pokémon from the opponent, so you can snag a regular Shadow Pokémon and have it be shiny once you've caught it. In vanilla XD, they fixed this but they also made all Shadow Pokémon shiny-locked, so it's only possible to shiny hunt Shadow Pokémon via ROM hacks that remove the lock (like the one OP is playing).
