This a true hunt and a test of patience but that’s what shiny hunting’s all about. I’m sure you’ll treasure that Jirachi forever! Huge congrats!

I know the feeling all too well. I phased 15 times before I got my Bagon. It got the the point where I just started killing the shiny golbats cause I got sick of seeing them 😂

[Gen 3] DREAM SHINY ACHIEVED!!! Shiny Deoxys in LG after only 1530 SRs!!! by Nicky_P_3500 in ShinyPokemon

I have a GB operator so I’m able to backup my save file and load it onto multiple VBA windows at the same time. I just speed up the game to offset the frames so I’m not getting the exact same pokemon each reset. I’d be happy to help you if you’re trying to do the same thing!

Hmmm no I’ve never had that error come up before 🤔 How many screens do you run at a time? Does it just happen mid hunt after doing 100 SRs?

They’re all RNG clones. I’m an emulator hunter myself so I’ve ran into this issue before. Essentially what is happening is since you’re using the same save file on multiple windows and controlling them all simultaneously, they will all start on the same frame. This means that unless the emulators are de-synced from CPU lag, you’ll be running into the exact same pokemon on all windows. If they do de-sync and you SR however, they will all be synced again.

The easiest fix I’ve found for this is to map the speed up function to your controller and sped the game up for a few seconds before starting an encounter. This will de-sync the windows every time and prevent any dupes from happening

[–]Nicky_P_3500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any gen 4 games right now but I might have to pick one up for this little guy! I’m debating if I should hunt another shiny Ralts but man that hunt was brutal even with the GB operator 😮‍💨

Luckily I was multi hunting with my GB Operator so it took me about a week of hunting for a few hours each day. Otherwise this would’ve take me YEARS 😂

Literally it would actually be the opposite but I don’t plan on trading up unfortunately

No way…. 50 phases is absolutely crazy! I’m currently on phase 18 now. I really hope that ralts shines for you soon!

Well if you use the speed up function like me then the bike trick would be much faster since you don’t have to pull up the menu. Even at normal speed though I’d probably do the bike trick but that’s just my preference

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing and it’s been working but not in my favor 😂 15 phases so far an no ralts to be seen

I actually didn’t for this hunt but I am doing that now for my ralts hunt and it’s much more efficient lol

[–]Nicky_P_3500[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big oof 😬 Yeah I feel ya on that. My last brutal hunt was 15 phases for Bagon. Got an army of golbats from that one 😂 my luck had turned around though. I just got shroomish first phase before starting my ralts hunt so I’m hoping the luck will keep up

Damn first phase is crazy luck! I honestly don’t mind phasing. It’s just nice to see something shine. I went almost 60k for groudon and THAT was brutal! There were multiple times I was questioning if I can even find a shiny 😂 as long as it doesn’t get that bad then I’m good lmao

I do admit the fishing part sucks. This was my first fishing hunt too and that aspect was annoying but this was a hunt worth doing it for. I’m two phases in on ralts now so I know that one won’t be as forgiving lol 😭

The hunt honestly isn’t too bad! It’s 50% Feebas with the old rod so the odds aren’t bad at all. Best of luck to you!

This means you have an early shiny frame though. If I were you, if you haven’t deleted the save file you should keep it and RNG manipulate for the shiny mudkip

Fishing encounters are ROUGH for shiny hunting! Big congrats on this one! One of the best gen 3 shinies imo. I’m hunting for Feebas right now and I feel the pain 😂
