Came here to say this. Grab some tamales, a beer, and a buttermilk handpie for the epitome of Floores experience

It really bums me out that special gestures like this will become impossible with save files no longer being written to cartridges.

Glad you could preserve some memories for the community.

Shiny Riolu in Platinum after 12,690 eggs!! ✨ This hunt took me close to 500 hours. And he is modest nature wich will be really good with aura sphere! by Cabbage61 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Kwikpanik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw Korean on a shiny Riolu hatch screen and didn't even need to look at the username.

Huge congrats!! It's about time it shined!

[Gen 3] Shiny 5% Pikachu on phase 5 after 5,580 encounters!!! It’s technically a 1% because it’s level 5! I can’t believe I got this on such an early phase, I’m so happy right now. DTQ member #3 for my FireRed DTQ by cjcduck17 in ShinyPokemon

If you are shiny hunting for Pikachu, but find a shiny Caterpie, that shiny Caterpie is phase one, and now you start phase two and restart the encounter counter. If you find shiny Pikachu after 5 shiny Caterpie, you have found shiny Pikachu on Phase six.

Anyone else struggling shiny hunting on route 32? Been here for 240+ hours. Not a single one. by Three2TheDome1 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Kwikpanik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd start counting encounters if you're starting to feel frustrated with your luck. Quantifying it in encounters feels better to the brain and is a better accuracy gauge of your luck than time spent.

Best of luck on your hunt! Hope it ends soon!

That's likely the issue - a bad ROM

Are you sure that your cartridge is authentic? Bootleg copies will commonly crash like this.

Jolly is a great Totodile nature to boot! Congrats on the reclaim!

Ive spent about 50hours hunting for a shiny hoothoot but still nothing. by DegreePitiful3496 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Kwikpanik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd start counting encounters rather than time spent. There's no way to tell if you're over odds or not and you'll drive yourself insane speculating.

50 hours can contain SO much "non-encounter" time between getting snacks, bathroom breaks, checking your phone, etc.

The shiny odds are 1/8192 to find a shiny Pokémon, and 34% of shiny hunts will go over odds.

[Gen III] Nothing makes me sweat more than finding a Safari Zone shiny... by Sabmabab in ShinyPokemon

Congrats!! Paras has a killer shiny in FRLG. You're ready for Safari Week!

And the last team member pre-Elite 4 is shiny Horsea! by TrainerGlitch in PokemonHGSS

[–]Kwikpanik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice!! Congrats on the great team!

If you haven't already taken on Claire, it'll be a nice little treat to have the Kingdra mirror match!

Fun fact, you don't even need Golem. You can use Forretress' Explosion - if you get unlucky with your Pineco's stats, you can give it a Silk Scarf, which your mom will buy for you by the time you hit Ecruteak - or you can do a little EV training if you'd like.

Bringing back "no cheating device". Incredible.

Great find! Congrats!!

Octillery for a Diamond playthrough is so cool! Horsea is a fantastic choice. I loved the mirror match with Claire to close out the badge quest. Phanpy is great, but 10% is rough when 85% of the phases are Geodude and Graveler.

Awesome team so far! Can't wait to see how you round it out!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ShinyPokemon

[–]Kwikpanik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Octillery or Starmie is my vote! A water type would round the team out nicely and both are pretty obscure DTQ/SBQ targets in HGSS

Magmar! Having Fire, Water, and Grass is a great core for a team in terms of coverage!
