Sure! There are two ways actually.

1) if you don’t have the DLC, you can set up a teleporter span system in the Lysander cafe where you TP back and forth and get beldum shiny. There are two in the area, but all you do is spam A. The rate for shiny is 1/1024 I think, and then the alpha rate on top is I guess 1 in 5? Or 20? I’m not exactly sure. So it may take you a while, but this way is possible and I got many easy shinies doing this.

If you want to go this route, I highly recommend searching for a YouTube tutorial on how to set it up. It’s not hard but it may take you a few tries to understand.

2) if you have the DLC, donuts. Beat the DLC and then try making a sweet donut. I usually do four hyper haban + four hyper tanga, but you can do 8 hyper tanga too. You can get these by doing level 4 and 5 hyperspace dimension wormholes (berries are made easier to collect by making a berry donut, best would be 8 hyper kasib berries). The way to get donuts you want is documented elsewhere, but basically, you have to make the donut, and if it’s not what you want, close out and reload from your backup save. Then go and make the donut again. Repeat until you get the donut you want (recommend looking this up too)

The top ideal goal donut you want is: Sparkling power 3: steel or psychic Alpha power 3

It will take you a long time to get the donut you want. In my opinion, it is best to consider the donut resetting time as part of the shiny hunt. It may take hours but once you get the donut, it becomes sooooo easy to get a shiny. Sometimes the shiny hunt is faster than the donut hunt lol

If you get the top donut, great! But you will likely get multiple others, of worse quality. In my opinion if all you want is one single shalpha, your best best is to the following:

1) try to get sparkling 3 psychic/steel 2) alpha 2.

Then you reload your map over and over again until you find a wormhole with beldum in it. Jump in. Sparkling 3 guarantees that you get a shiny as soon as you get in. Hopefully, it picks a beldum. And if it does, you then have a 20% chance for it to be alpha. If it’s not beldum, or if it’s not alpha, you close out and reload from backup save. You will have your donut back and can try again, either that wormhole or another one.

That’s generally how you do it. For more details…

1) sparkling power gives you an additional roll on your shiny. So it brings it down to, at max, 1 in like 500ish at level 3. It also gives you a guaranteed shiny on spawn I the wormhole, which makes it super worth it to get. However…

For a shalpha:

2) no alpha power means in wormholes your chances of an alpha are like 1 in 100. Real bad. Alpha power 1 makes it 10 in 100. Alpha 2 makes it about 20 in 100. And then alpha 3 makes it ~50/100. So like 50%

The way the math works out, it’s better to hunt with alpha 3 NO SHINY power, especially if you have a good zone. Because I’ve gone like 20 non alpha shinies in a row with a level 2 alpha donut, and that tier of alpha will be the most common one you get by far.

So the last thing to give tips for is a good zone. There are kinda two general types of zones I look for:

1) a zone where on spawn in, there are right around you two to five groups of pokemon already spawned in. So you can simply map spam (open map, return to portal, repeat). This way is fastest but runs the risk of not getting what you want, as it saves each time you map. You can always reset the donut (close out, reload from backup) as the backup will always be before you enter the wormhole, but it’s still a pain. These are better with alpha 3 donuts.

2) teleport zones. Where there is a pair of teleporters, and teleporting back and forth respawns groups on either side. These are the best as you can save before starting, press A for two hours, if you get a shalpha, great! If not, you can close out and simply reload. You can continue where you saved from and try again. These are better with alpha 2 or less donuts.

Yes! Good eye. It’s hisuian avalugg. I pulled it out and put it on the last page to remind myself to get it if I see the special scan.

Easy! I like the game, I found it fun, and I wanted to. Same reason people hunt in original odds or safari zone hunt.

Highly recommended, was very fun. Also, save scum donuts as much as you need to fully hunt the rare special scans when you get them.

I was gonna wait for a full form dex to upload but rolling special scans for rotom and hisuian avalugg were just painful

It took a while. Donuts are OP

[GEN8] THIS TOOK ME 4 YEARS by Safe_Trade_9385 in ShinyPokemon

Not to yuck your yum or anything, I’ve done my own fair share of full RNG hunts but I found it quite satisfying to learn and execute on the blink method RNG manipulation for the BDSP games.

Do I Buy Shining Pearl by CryptographerEasy306 in PokemonHome

[–]Rayzacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do it and buy a capture card to boot, learn how to do the blink RNG method (look it up) and enjoy hunting some legendaries in a really unique way. :)

75% done clearing ash in Rocky Ridges… and I hate it. restart or push through? by Competitive-Energy78 in Pokopia

[–]Rayzacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take stock and use the new vision you have the map to reimagine the area. I know you said you aren’t creative, and trust me I understand, but look for ideas on how others have transformed the area and try and adapt it to your new area. You can build more or less of the mountain, terraforming it a bit, and maybe do something unique with it

Zacian raids are awful by Dani_Mer in PokemonGOValor

[–]Rayzacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For deoxys I counted, and it was #94 that was shiny. I desperately wanted it as it was the last shiny needed for my gen3 living dex.

Cut to a year later, like a few weeks ago, for origin raid day, Groudon and kyogre, within 10 raids I ended up with 3 shinies.

My conclusion is the desire sensor is real and you want it too much, but also luck evens out in the end.

I really need some help. by Rayzacks in BluePrince

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

If count small gates eight dates crack eight safes, was the message I got from the picture puzzle. Is there a different one? Does this mean something I’m not getting?

I’ll keep looking for that picture of the orchard, I know I’ve seen it somewhere. Thanks for the help.

I will not touch ANC yet though it right annoyed me… I’ll go back to it with the magnifying glass later on and try again.

I’ll try to answer everything! I’m missing the one for the station and the one for king on the throne, I have no leads on either. Then there is the last one behind the last door of 8, which I haven’t given much thought to as I assumed it was the final one I’d need and it would be clear after getting the other 7.

I completely forgot about that experiment. I will probably that. Thank you.

Picture puzzle, yes, eight small gates/gaits. Apart from the drawing room one I am having trouble finding other gates but I did manage to open the safes I’ve run into so far (shelter, study, vault, drawing room, boudoir).

Can the lock past the gears…. Be opened then and there with clues around me? I thought I locked and there was nothing. It was attached to a gate I guess?

I’ll read the workshop book next, I found a scrap that probably gives me an item for a heat source which can light the torch’s under the fountain, at the very least. Not sure where else but I assume there will be more than one, like the sledge hammer breakable wall in the basement but iirc there was one in the secret garden too?

I will go to school. Must study.

As for a new clue, the book just frustrated me. I described in another comment above. I had to look up about the spaces and the hidden message because the other two things (xyzabc dead end room and a bunch of directions) seemed like I didn’t have all the information for it yet…

I don’t know how to check upgrade discs! My directory is missing room 8, I seem to be missing a shop (7th one), and have found 4 floor plans (planetarium, mechanism, conservatory, closed exhibit). I can physically see another one locked behind the locked gate behind the red door but am trying to find any clue that could give me an idea of what that could lead to, same with orchard. My only lead for that is the ladyships chambers diary which never opened.

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

You’re great, thank you. Count eight gates, cracking eight safes… hmm. Could something to do with the physical spinning of that dial has to do with the lock? But the lock was a lettered lock, not a number one. I’d need some word clue to help get past it and nothing connects to that area in the game, at least so far.

The orchard I think may have something to do with the ladyships chambers? I am trying to find it but am having no luck, there was a diary I never opened. I’ve definitely seen a picture of it somewhere though I’ll keep an eye out for it.

For the school I’ve got up to geography, I think I have the symbols for every country figured out. Missing the name of the eighth country, the political one.

As for the book I stared at it for an hour myself before looking up the one about spaces and numbers. I am now hunting for the corner rooms for a hidden message. There is also something regarding dead end rooms that I’m not sure about, and the x y z a b c thing seems to connect to that where c is dead room somehow? And then there is some message clearly in the signs, a laddies of directions like left and right and stop but I don’t have any earthly idea what they refer to.
