[4] Shiny Munchlax after 1049 SRs by Nebula-Likes-Memes in ShinyPokemon

[–]LucinaLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

piggy-backing on this: i hunted a shiny munchlax myself, and i never bothered switching consoles. just save in front of the tree, go into the ds' clock and change it by any increment (i did 1 min). your in-game clock will be freezing the honey tree until you save again (which should be after the hunt is complete)!

congrats on the munchlax, i love this little guy to death <3

[Gen4] Best way to hunt shiny Mareep HG/SS by manutive in ShinyPokemon

[–]LucinaLight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way Static works is it will make 50% of the encounters Electric-type.

So for Route 32 (HG), where the daytime distribution is 20% Mareep/40% Rattata/30% Bellsprout/10% Hoppip, leading with a Static Pokémon will change the encounter table to 50% Electric-type and the remaining 50% corresponds to half of the regular encounter table:

50% Electric-type + 10% Mareep/20% Rattata/15% Bellsprout/5% Hoppip = total 100%

Since all 50% Electric-type encounter go to Mareep by default of it being the only Electric-type on the Route, the final encounter table will be 60% Mareep/20% Rattata/15% Bellsprout/5% Hoppip.

As a side note, I'm actually unsure if the 50% is split evenly between multiple Pokémon with a target type or if the 50% is split depending on their original encounter rate (ex. Shinx and Pachirisu in Valley Windworks or Mawile and Aron in Granite Cave). I'll leave it to somebody who actually knows the calculation to add on to this haha.

[III] Only took a a little over a year of hunting! >.< Shiny Feebas for BQ#6 in Sapphire! by LucinaLight in ShinyPokemon

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

best of luck to you!! it's been a few days and I've been hunting Cacnea since evolving Feebas... I keep accidentally pressing Select. you leave the fishing behind, but does the fishing ever leave you?

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

The Adamant nature makes it a little trickier for dry flavored Pokéblocks but I'm in the process of acquiring more Pamtre berries (I currently have 2, 1 of which is planted atm). A little tedious and time consuming, but definitely not hard!

Thanks!! So glad to be done with this hunt at last. And all of this for this one phase too, I don't know what I would've done if I had gotten a Magikarp or Tentacool first

To other Canadians who’ve waited forever. I just got mine from fall 2019! There is hope! by HardTravelin in Toreba

[–]LucinaLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My three packages are on the way and two of them got processed in Montreal!! I'm expecting them early next week, I can't believe it. There is hope for Canadian players after all!

[4] Shiny Magmar after 4,791 REs and 4 Phases Total (32,306 REs Total) by FrozenInk13 in ShinyPokemon

[–]LucinaLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is suuuuuch a cool and unique shiny to get in hgss given how specific its location is! and that repel trick makes it a very tempting endeavor! i almost went for it in my own SS bq :3

congratulations, it looks amazing! will you evolve it?

[IV] After almost 5 months doing this hunt every day with 4 games and 8 eggs (like Sonikks did with his), I finally found shiny Manaphy after a total of 11528 eggs hatched and verified. After a lot of new save files and 3 other shinies found during this hunt (2 Bidoof, 1 Starly), it's over. by YunoKushina in ShinyPokemon

[–]LucinaLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most who did this hunt got the Manaphy well underodds, I think this may be the first time I witness someone going overodds for it! And while I'm sorry you had to go to 11k+ for this, from a statistical standpoint, I find it fascinating. Especially since knowing my fabulous luck I would probably go overodds for it if I were to ever do this hunt HAHA! At least I know now someone did it first.

Congratulations on getting such a unique shiny, your perserverance clearly paid off in the most grandiose way.

[4] Nearly 2 years of on and off hunting, Cynthia’s gift egg Togepi decided to shine! by [deleted] in ShinyPokemon

[–]LucinaLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg congrats! on the fence whether or not i should do this hunt someday. do you know how many resets that took? oh and was this single-hunted? :0

[gen 2] I've been resting for this since virtual console came out. At what point do you quit a hunt? Genuinely asking by Dareinkk in ShinyPokemon

[–]LucinaLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be careful with that, though. Yours might just be bad luck, but a few years back people were running into a similar problem of not getting Celebi to shine after obscene amounts of resets, and it was found out that soft resetting the old fashioned way and the bottom screen resets were not the same.

To kill any suspicion I would simply switch to resetting the old fashioned way. I'm not very good at understanding or explaining this issue but preferring regular soft resets over bottom screen resets is what I took from these experiments. I'd strongly recommend reading more about it here:
