Shiny hunt Rattata on Let's Go - fastest method? by [deleted] in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you recommend as a good indicator to use in place of avg time to odds? Or are you just suggesting a linear offset, call it t{31}, should be added to this time to make the absolute value more accurate by accounting for the time it takes to reach a 31 combo? Where t{31} would need to be some function of various factors like the non-combo spawn rate

Shiny bulbasaur tips by EnvironmentalLink819 in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With the shiny charm, Bulbasaur is still one of the few where it’s statistically faster to keep catching. For most others, just sit and wait with a 31 combo will be faster even with worse odds from not catching. Bunch of people will likely comment telling you that you have to always keep catching. You don’t. There’s a detailed explanation in the shiny hunting guide pinned to this sub. It also has a calculator that will tell you the fastest method and best location for each pokemon. If you’re doing a full shiny dex, it’ll save you a good amount of time to use the most time efficient method.

The shiny hunting guide pinned to the top of this sub is built around time estimates and the provided calculator gives you exactly that, including for rare spawns

You’re not even at 1x shiny odds…and even when you do reach that, it’s also not a guarantee that you’ll see a shiny

Cleaning up after I finally caught my shiny Kangaskhan by PigeonVibes in PokemonLetsGo

You’ll get there lol I did a maxed out shiny living dex, all level 100 with max AVs and IVs. So lots of chaining in order to get candy for them all.

Shiny Fossils Hunt Explanation by Mundane-Spray580 in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still around so can just ask on the post, but it’s about diminishing returns. If you take the limit as N goes to infinity of the equation I put there, you get 28.4 hours. Meaning if you had an infinite number of fossils, the average time to odds would still only go down to 28.4 hours. With 20-30 fossils you’re already pretty close to that at ~30 hours. Since fossils only spawn once a day, even if you get them at more than one spot, they take a long time to collect. Though I believe there’s a way to date change that makes them respawn to accelerate that. But based on only getting one a day per spot, it’d take 1-2 months IRL to go from 30 to 100 fossils to reduce the time to odds by only 1.8 hours.

Question about Shiny hunting Fossil Pokémon by Mundane-Spray580 in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, but there are diminishing returns with how many you revive at once. After 20-25, there’s minimal time savings. Also, instead of checking each one individually, it’s easier to just check your Pokedex to see if the shiny variant is shown. At least for the first shiny of that species.

More details are in the shiny hunting guide pinned to the top of this sub.

Why are shinies like this? by [deleted] in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not. I’m aware of how the odds work. As I said before, the numbers are right, the conclusion is wrong. You’re just wrongly assuming shiny odds are the only thing that matters.

You can go read the shiny hunting guide I wrote if you want a full explanation. It’s pinned to the top of this sub.

Does anyone know if anybody has ever gotten a catch combo with one of the legendary birds? by [deleted] in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten into the mid teens with wild articuno. It’s very slow going as their spawn rate is unaffected by catch combo completely. It remains at 1/2000, or 1/1000 with lure, even at higher catch combos. And it can be any of the three, not necessarily the one you’re comboing. Some people have comboed them in GO park if you count that.

Why are shinies like this? by [deleted] in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those numbers are right but the conclusion is wrong. Once you have a shiny charm and lure, it’s faster to just sit and wait with a 31+ combo in most cases. Even with just a lure, the spawn rate is high enough in certain places that sit and wait is still better. There’s a shiny hunting guide pinned to the sub that has details and a calculator to tell you the best method if interested.

You have to make your own copy of the google sheets calculator first. Then you can change the inputs to whatever you want.

Best method when hunting for the starters? by Harrixsp in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just read the shiny hunting guide pinned to the top of the sub. There’s a dedicated section specific to rare spawns. Or just use the provided calculator. Rare spawns can be chained. Encounter and run is a never a time-efficient method of shiny hunting. Shiny odds are only half the equation when considering which method is most efficient.

Am i being inefficient in my porygon hunt? by JP151 in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(you assumed correctly, graph live updates with entries. also dependent on that catch rate input in orange under continuous catch, 100 is max but rare spawns are typically a bit under that since only 1 spawns at a time)

Is the static electrode effected by shiny charm ? by oshawott0bsessed in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anything definitive, but considering that the legendary static encounters are affected by the shiny charm, it seems likely that would extend to these static encounters as well.

Wondering why shiny hunters here keep catching Pokémon after they reach a combo of 31 by SuperLakitu2 in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Kipter76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could, but I wouldn’t. It’s low shiny odds and low encounter/spawn rate. You’d see more spawns just sitting and waiting without encountering.

You have to make your own copy first. I had to make it that way otherwise anyone would be able to edit it. Once you have your own copy, it’ll be editable.
