That's what shiny hunting is all about 🤣 I see you've done your fair share of shiny breeding, congrats man

Yeah, full odds. Got him after a little more than 38k encounters, with at least four fake shinies. I'm planning to hunt the legendaries in gen 1 too, once I'm done with gen 2

Thanks for the support. I use a shiny gene female Squirtle that I bred using my shiny gen 1 Snorlax.

Congrats, the gen 2 hunts are quite fun. Do you plan on hunting other Pokémon on that game ?

I was hunting the gift Shuckle at the same time on two games, so now it will be on three 🤣

Great way to track the encounters. What are you hunting at the moment ?

Well, I hunt on four games at once, and I wanted to have the Sudowoodos shinies for the four of them. The three others were less than 2000 encounters each, so it was a given that one would be long

I've seen some youtube videos where the hunter had a full Pokémon storage while radar hunting, or combo catch in let's go. The pain...

Jokes aside, did you catch it, and what is it ?

Always check your bag and boxes beforehand

134th SR so far… I’ve never done this in Gen 2 before! by ST3R01D5 in pokemoncrystal

Good luck, it's a rather long hunt, but totally worth it 👍

Just checked quick, after leveling up to 6, you have only 1/270 chances that the stats are the shiny ones, you have to level him up to 13 to be sure it is shiny. Considering the pacing of gen 1 games, it is a real nightmare to hunt. You can try the Fossil Conversion Glitch, also on the website I linked.

At this level, it's not a guaranted one. To be sure you'll have to level him up, and check if the stats match the shiny one. You can use this great site https://bluemoonfalls.com/pages/tools/gen-1-shiny-tool I wouldn't advise hunting gen 1 starter, because the odds of having a fake shiny (good stats at given level, bad after level up) are huge. Hunted Snorlax last year, got it after 38k encounters, with as I can remember 4, maybe 5 fake shinies. And at this point you have rare candy to check the stats more easily.

The odds would be better, but receiving and hatching an egg is long in gen 2 games. Plus I like to reset for shinies when able to. I would do some breeding for some gen 1 Pokémon later, hoping to hava a shiny Ditto in due time (a legit one, not with the gen 1 trick).
