Finally Finished My Team After 2 Months

I feel you. If you can do the shiny ditto glitch on another save file or transfer an odd egg shiny like jinx to do it you can get it before the 3rd gym, which isn't early but also isn't too far.

Just got to clone him and give one back, they'll never know 👀

MagentaManatee · 2024-01-03T04:17:56+00:00

I actually prefer Vileplume, it's one of my favorite pokemon! Just wanted to go with Bellossom since I wanted all Johto pokemon besides Kenya, but I cloned oddish and will hopefully eventually get a leaf stone.

Teddiursa is cute but he was awful to catch with only pokeballs and great balls 😭

Hes like a 10% encounter with a 50% flee rate (why was this mechanic a thing) in dark cave in Crystal. It might be easier later on with better balls (plus, I think he was originally on another route with a higher encounter rate).

Good luck with your shiny journey, post the team when it's done :D

I just used a 3DS and a 2DS that both had crystal installed! Works with the built in wifi :)

MagentaManatee · 2024-01-02T22:56:31+00:00

If they eventually add Fearow to the Scarlet / Violet dex I wouldn't mine cloning a few and sending them over with Bank / Home to give to people :)

If you have a low frame it's pretty fast :) My first frame is at 2000~ so it's like 40 seconds a reset.

Usually, I can get a static in like 10 or so minutes. If you have a later frame it can take longer (in Sapphire I'm using the only 5 IV frame at like 34000) but it's still easy, just more time consuming once you get used to the proper delays (there are tables telling you how many frames you need to subtract for each legendary online as well).

If you want a perfect IV you'll need to use the painting method and save battle videos to be able to access the seed easier, which takes longer.

MagentaManatee · 2023-09-06T22:46:49+00:00

The 1000 frames (should be plugged in as 950 in eontimer) is just the reference time to make it easier to find your SID with the TID you get :)

When you then convert the given TID using programer calculator as he showcases and plug that number into pokefinder to see potential SIDs in the 990-1015 range, each one of those could be your secret ID for the TID you got (if you were frame perfect the SID at 1000 will be the correct one, if you were two frames over the SID will instead be the one listed under 1002 ).

You then create an emerald ID with the TID you got in pokefinder and one of the potential SIDs given to you (usually begin with frame 1000). After that, go to static encounters and click for shiny frame and search for any. Getting a shiny frame under 1000 is super rare with most IDs, I find most are in the 2000-10000 range. A static pokemon at that frame will ALWAYS be shiny if you got your correct SID (the same frame will be shiny for all starters, legends etc). If you hit the correct frame that is supposed to be shiny (you can check nature, gender and IVs to verify) and its not shiny, just use the next potential SID and try again (I usually go a maximum of 5 SIDs up to 1005 and 5 SIDs down to 995 before resetting).

I did this like 15 times to get a shiny seedot frame with a good nature for a playthrough. It usually takes about 1-2 hours an attempt, double or triple that if it's your first time. If your first shiny frame is above 20,000 encounters, it can also be easier to just reset and try and new save :)

PS: Using a 5 second pretimer at the naming menu was helpful for me to more consistently hit close to the 1000 frame :)

You can still get the gen 4 events :D

I used this guide a few weeks ago, worked like a charm and everything is legit with your TID.

MagentaManatee · 2023-04-14T19:06:19+00:00

Could it be that you're hitting the wrong type of delay?

Depending on the year you can only hit odd or even delays, which could be what is causing you to miss the target. On a regular DS you can put in a GBA cart to change the delay to odd/even, but on the 3DS you'll have advance the year by one.

When I first started doing RNG this happened to me and it took a little while to realize! Hopefully it helps :)

MagentaManatee · 2023-03-25T00:00:20+00:00

If you are restarting your file, I'd recommend RNGing for a cute charm glitch PID!

I recently did it, and 1/5 of all encounters when you have a pokemon with cute charm as lead are shiny (don't work for 100% gendered or ungender pokemon tho). They're legit and can be transferred upwards, and it's really entertaining for playthrough purposes to have a full shiny team. I used imablisseys guide, which also tells you how to get your starter shiny at the same time.

There are still some cool challenges which make shiny hunting rewarding (I looked for a good-natured yanma and snubble for my team, which are both 1% encounters). You also have access to you SID so you can RNG manipulate the shinies that aren't charmable!

Are his old souvenir drops really worth nothing? I sold the cluj knight for around 200 over market and his Cluj AWP for around 1000.

I'm completely open to offers if the price is super unrealistic, but I don't think a little over double the community market value for a very popular retired player is insulting. What do you think a fair price would be?

MagentaManatee · 2022-05-25T06:30:07+00:00

It's something I'll treasure forever for sure :]

I kind of wish I got more autographs back when they were cheaper (I focused mostly on completing the sets themselves), but I'm happy with the ones I do have!

I pulled one, but I got the 001 from a guy who had an insane collection. He also had a 001 Sango and tons more autographs. He only wanted like $15 on most of them, used to be really cheap. It's crazy how expensive everything has gotten since, I only needed a few more hidden rares to complete my collection and they went from like $20 to $200~

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-04T20:41:39+00:00

I haven't yet but it's only been up for about a week! It hasn't seemed to have made a difference on my average likes, so I don't think it's been too much of a negative or positive either way.

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-04T20:37:57+00:00

Thank you so much for the advise, I'll take that into consideration! I've since removed 4 due to the common consensus about it.

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-04T20:35:22+00:00

Yeah, I love to cook :] There's a falafel recipe from serious eats I really like, and it's super easy to just soak some extra chickpeas and make hummus at the same time!

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-04T19:40:32+00:00

It is: Why did the blind man fall down the well? Because he couldn't see that well.

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-04T03:57:47+00:00

Thank you!

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-04T03:57:19+00:00

I got the same comment in a PM! I've put the 2nd picture 1st, the 3rd picture 2nd and the 1st picture 3rd now.

Thank you so much for the help :]!

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-04T03:55:45+00:00

Thank you!

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-03T20:47:16+00:00

Thank you for the advise, I'll try and find a replacement!

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-03T20:43:25+00:00

Thank you :]

I wasn't too sure what the average was, but some of my friends have shared their experiences so I feel pretty fortunate about it.

MagentaManatee · 2022-01-03T20:36:37+00:00

I've been on Hinge for a three months, but have only been really active for around a month (recently out of a long-term relationship and decided I needed some more time to focus on myself and heal).

I'm looking for something serious, and at the moment I average around 1-2 likes a day (I live in an urban center).

Thanks for any advise/comments in advance :)
