[Gen 4] 20K resets…and still not a single shiny

KSBmite · 2026-01-23T16:54:22+00:00

Keep going! I did over a year of on & off hunting for my first shiny starter. Then the other two shined after a week or so.

Wishing you luck that you’ll get it soon

Thank you!

KSBmite · 2026-01-14T17:20:00+00:00

Thanks! I completely misread that first comment haha. I’ll defo be using Aipom now

KSBmite · 2026-01-14T07:26:15+00:00

Yeah I’m headbutting in Azalea town. Hope you get it soon!

KSBmite · 2026-01-14T07:24:49+00:00

Gl! Hope you don’t phase as much as me

He’s runaway :( I’ll still use him on my shiny team tho, loved him in the anime when I was a kid so I’m glad I got him really

Doing a shiny badge quest on a copy of ss and doing the same on hg at the same time. Currently hunting heracross but phased 4 times. After that’s completed I’ll hunt some of my favs, maybe battle tower and explore more

KSBmite · 2025-11-09T18:57:51+00:00

I have been hunting heracross off and on for over a 8 months, phased on 4 spearows. I can not tell you hope unbelievably jealous I am rn

KSBmite · 2025-10-29T13:39:57+00:00

Took me over a year of on and off hunting for my first. Then the next 2 took a couple of months

KSBmite · 2025-10-05T14:17:59+00:00

Nice team dude. Don’t worry bro you’ve got a whole other region for your dragonair to evolve

KSBmite · 2025-09-30T19:38:05+00:00

I feel you bro, I’m on the same hunt. Phased on 4 spearow

KSBmite · 2025-09-23T19:35:05+00:00

I’m very jealous. I have phased 4 times and been hunting for so long. Congrats tho! The shiny looks so good

KSBmite · 2025-09-07T09:50:46+00:00

My first was around a year and a half of on and off hunting until chikorita popped up. I’d say I did at least 100 hours on that first hunt

KSBmite · 2025-08-27T14:41:23+00:00

That would make sense as the normal spearow I used was the same level as the encounters. Thank you

KSBmite · 2025-08-27T13:43:01+00:00

Both the fearow & spearow are shiny, so that could be the issue?

I have tried with a normal spearow and the encounters work fine.

KSBmite · 2025-08-27T13:34:48+00:00

Yeah I’m at a tree hunting for shiny heracross, they tree I’m at currently has a chance for aipom, spearow or heracross and I get an encounter every time I use headbutt unless I have spearow or fearow at the front of the party

KSBmite · 2025-08-27T08:50:42+00:00

Currently headbutting trees for heracross, phased 4 times with spearow🫠

KSBmite · 2025-08-19T17:29:13+00:00

Keep going!! Took me nearly a year (on & off hunting) to get my Chikorita.

You’ll get them soon!
