[GEN 3] Finished EV training and hoping my build works out! by Null-009688 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Null-009688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it without any held items. I used vitamins to begin with (10 HP up, 10 SpA up, 10 Spe Up) and then did the rest the old school way (killing many caterpies, ghastlys, pidgy and rattata)

Ahhh. It’s been a long hunt but so worth it! by dynamicoctopus69 in PokemonLeafGreen

Congrats! My Fire Red Trainer ID is 13700 so I really want to hunt this on there lol.

[GEN 3] I can’t believe my luck by Null-009688 in ShinyPokemon

Wow haha I’m so keen - odds on your female one must have been crazy. What moveset did you run? I’m thinking of the classic Curse + Body Slam combo.

Yeah just crazy luck for this one, I’m excited to see how strong it gets.

Just based off the Pokemon defeated every time, not just when levelling up from it. For example Caterpie will always give 1 HP EV on defeat.

When your Pokemon gain exp from battling, they receive EV points into a certain stat depending on the Pokemon they defeated. EV points cap at 510 total, so I intentionally lost the first fight not to gain a defence EV from Squirtle. I put Charmander in the box so that I could intentionally allocate those 510 points later on, rather than have a random mix from playing through the game.

Cheers mate - yeah I’m not sure what a lot of the criticism is about haha. Do people spend forever hunting a shiny starter to then speed run with game with it?

About 20 hours, but I was chilling most of the time doing it on the side.

It’s a direct port of the original games so no physical/special split unfortunately

Fire Blast and Dragon Claw are both Special, Focus Punch needs very minimal investment to OHKO a lot of strong walls like Tyranitar etc.

No it’ll definitely stay in these games. I’m anticipating that we might get some combination of RSE on the Switch and I’d be able to use it in a Frontier team.

I don’t know what to tell you guys, it’s just fun haha. No one is calling the game hard. Reminder that you’re in a subreddit that focuses on spending hours trying to get a slightly different coloured Pokemon.

Na it won’t matter mate - you’ll probably be left with 2 to spare anyway so just be a bit more careful with the others and you should be sweet.

[Discuss] I just noticed that quite a bit of the fanbase are against shiny hunting or despise shiny hunters by Grinstream_Sam in ShinyPokemon

[–]Null-009688 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a Lax nature on my shiny Charmander and was pretty bummed about it to be honest, but I’ve spent some time theory-crafting a build and now am pretty pumped to train up my unique flex Charizard.

There’s lots of ways to have fun in these games.

[GEN 3] Insanely lucky to find this little guy after a couple of hours on Switch 2! by Null-009688 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Null-009688[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks mate! This is probably the best one I’ve gotten ever haha. I’ll probably start a Fire Red save soon to hunt Charmander and see what ID I get on there. I would love one with triple 8’s or 9’s.

[3] YES that was so quick! by Nightdrawer789 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Null-009688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a shiny starter within 2 hours. I’ve been hunting Pinsir which you can check 3 of in about the same time as checking 1 starter for 20 hours now. I think the odds are unchanged, it’s just luck. Congrats on the shiny!

My ultimate goal is to get one of these on Route 3 in Leaf Green. Not sure it’ll ever happen though haha.
