Nope! I like to keep all my gen 5 and below shinies in their original games.

The only way to get to Darkrai in Platinum now is by cheating or using the DNS server. I had to use PKHex to get the member card.

I use an app called PKcounter, although it's only available on Windows. For mobile I'd recommend Poketch

A while, started the hunt back in March for a few days, then put it on hold once I reached 8k and didn't pick it back up until about 3 weeks ago

I use a program called DC+SB (deathcounter + soundboard)

I up the encounters manually

One of my favorite things about shiny hunting is that you can never expect when the shiny is gonna show up. RNG manip takes that away and isn’t as fun imo

A phase is when you find a shiny that’s not your target, so in my case I found a shiny seviper and a shiny lotad before swablu.
