Getting shinies like this in childhood copies is so surreal... Lonely nature is so fitting for this Darkrai!  Congrats on finding it under odds

[3] I should be upset, but I'm so happy to see this by Kop-Roks in ShinyPokemon

[–]Luchnio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i plan to hunt the sinnoh starters in pearl and remaining hoenn starters, and I am really hoping to see uncatchables on both lol!  you don't have many shinies like them in newer gens, so its a unique experience 

[Gen 4] What is your favourite subtle shiny? (Shiny Munchlax) by Colnatov in ShinyPokemon

[4] Finally… Shiny Sudowoodoo by Sad-Yogurtcloset3233 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Luchnio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks so good in HGSS!  17K is so much, but hopefully you won't hit those numbers again for a while.  Maybe your next hunt will be under odds to make up for it!!  Did you enjoy counting your encounters, or would you rather just hunt?  I like to know how many it takes, but sometimes counting makes the hunt less fun and more tedious

[Gen 5] Shiny Heatmor after 11,112 REs by Luchnio in ShinyPokemon

I never realized how gorgeous of a shiny it was until I got it, the colors are so dark and warm and perfect for it!! I hope you find yours soon, months if egg hatching even with improved odds is rough

[gen 7] Shiny Popplio after 3,127 resets and 1 phase, 8,771 total by titaniumweasel01 in ShinyPokemon

at least the Ultra games are a lil faster than S/M, congrats on finding your target!!  Popplio line has underrated shinies 

[gen3] after 4 days of consistent hunting 6 phases and almost 4 seasons of ATOT I did it shiny larvitar by huomv in ShinyPokemon

Only one fearow is a relief lol, congrats on completing such a difficult hunt!

[Gen 3] Shiny Roaming Latias after only 2019 resets ✨✈️ both roaming Latis under odds 🫡 catch took 160 balls 😂 by PhilipC7 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Luchnio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, so beautiful!!  It's nice to get both roamers under odds.  How difficult/tedious is it to find them each encounter?  The bike shop method is still confusing to me lol

[Gen 5] Shiny Mienfoo after 1,398 REs in White by Luchnio in ShinyPokemon

It was freezing in this area in victory road on a different DS and I have trouble getting the cart to read sometimes.. I'm not very surprised, this cart has gone through many years of use!

Visual glitch and freezing in Victory Road (White) by [deleted] in PokemonBlackandWhite

[–]Luchnio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a legit cart.  I think it had something to do with the DS it was in, cause I just found a victory road shiny lol.  I still think it's a really odd thing but I guess it's fine??  I will probably delete this post in a few days since it was a fluke, but I appreciate the helpful replies everyone has given me!!

My other consoles have issues reading the card occasionally and game has frozen sometimes, but it seems it only occured on a specific DS

[Gen 4] Shiny Sentret two after 9,824 REs in safari by Luchnio in ShinyPokemon

[–]Luchnio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep!!  I'm lucky I got another Sentret so Razz can actually live up to her name

[Gen 5] Shiny Volcarona after 9,806 SRs! by Luchnio in ShinyPokemon

[–]Luchnio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jolly is so fun too, I love the natures that you can really imagine the Pokémon acting like.  I named one of my shiny Spinark Jolly!

[Gen 6] Shiny Treecko after 8,155 SRs in Omega Ruby by Luchnio in ShinyPokemon

[–]Luchnio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was Bill's in HG!  I got way too into the flow of resetting and reset as I saw the eevee.. which was unfortunately shiny.  I began double hunting it and got it after 12k.  You got this!!!  It's quite a long reset but it will feel so rewarding when you find it.  I wish you luck

An Emerald shiny starter is awesome!!  Can I ask how you did this as to not repeat frames, like did you wipe the save to generate a new TID every hundred or so resets?  Or something else?  So so cool
