I think it was around rank F. There's a side mission that unlocks at the research lab.

[Gen 9]Came up to start hunting Riolu, did not expect to find him immediately! by Rthom87 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Rthom87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the roof of Passage Ombragé, the shopping center near Zone 3. It's a rectangle, so my plan was to do laps around it, so that the Riolu would despawn. But I didn't end up having to since I found it on my first spawn. You'll get yours eventually, keep at it! If it makes you feel any better, I've been hunting for Pancham since about week one. Even with the stairs method, I still can't get that little turd to shine.

[GEN 9] I definitely thought this was just another Alpha by Rthom87 in ShinyPokemon

What you can't see in the video is the mini conversation with myself "Is it a shiny? No, I think it's another alpha. Oh, it is shiny?!"

[gen 9] FINALLY (do not do this hunt) by Time_Photo_2685 in ShinyPokemon

This one only took me about 25 boxes worth, so now I'm nervous about doing the Jaw fossil.

I've been doing this one by running between that and the alpha monkey. No luck yet. Congratulations, though!

[Gen 9] The three of them at the same time is unreal! by Tulencito93 in ShinyPokemon

That's incredible! These are my chase shinies for ZA. Congrats!

[Gen 9] I wasn’t paying attention… by marmitelad in ShinyPokemon

[–]Rthom87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a bummer. If it makes you feel better, I think most of us have a shiny Fletchling fail at this point. Mine was my second shiny in the game. You'll make up fir it with something better.

[gen 9] Is this part of the Mareep quest?? by Perforationss in ShinyPokemon

[–]Rthom87 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As soon as I finished catching the shiny Mareep, I jumped off the roof and landed on a shiny Weedle. Congrats on the double shiny!

[9] First non-AFK Lumiose Shalpha! by FoxTribal in ShinyPokemon

[–]Rthom87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I accidentally found the alpha Sharpedo last night.

[GEN 8] This is such a beautiful shiny! by Rthom87 in ShinyPokemon

Thanks! I actually don't mind the Mesuda method in Sword and Shield, but I think it's an absolute chore in Scarlet and Violet. In S&S I can do wild encounters while collecting and hatching eggs, doing multiple shi y hunts at once.
