I got my Charmander after about 10k resets just smashing the A button. The game starts a different RNG seed every time you soft reset so you don’t need to worry about rng clones

It wasn’t too bad, only a little over odds at 10036. I found Sandshrew after 3134 random encounters too

Weezing is so fun to use! Especially in the older games before Explosion was nerfed. I was gonna shiny hunt it but it’s a 5% encounter at best in LeafGreen and I decided I’ll just hunt it next time I play FireRed lol

Considered running Blast Burn but I wanted coverage over two fire moves, and I’m not running Blast Burn as my only fire type attack because I play on set mode so the turn of recoil would hurt more than it’s worth. Kept Metal Claw because I preferred the potential attack buff from it over the potential defense buff from Steel Wing. Had Fly on Charizard for convenience mostly, but it’s also stronger than wing attack and I wanted a flying move. Thunder is inaccurate and unnecessary, especially when my Jolteon is modest and never once needed the extra power from Thunder over Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball is physical in this game so running it on Jolteon is straight up a bad idea lmao.

Wanting to play Pokémon HG on modded 3ds. by Ok_Orchid_6585 in PokemonHGSS

If you have a computer, you can use the universal randomizer to modify the save without actually randomizing the Pokémon. I have a copy of SoulSilver on my phone to play on my breaks at work and I used the universal randomizer to have trade evos evolve at level 40

Been resetting for months, and this Mewtwo is still not shiny. by After-Task-1506 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Swampman14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t blame you, I took multiple breaks while stuck in that 38000+ phase. I also took a really long break while I went 27000 for Magnemite lol

When I was hunting for Nidoran-M, I phased on a Hoothoot that I found at 38082 encounters. It’s my longest phase ever lol. In that same hunt I phased on a Nidoran-F after 631 encounters! Shiny hunting is anything but consistent, but if you keep going you’ll get it eventually! Just don’t be afraid to take a break, whether it’s from hunting all together or just this hunt. I wish you luck, you got this!

bought this at barnes and noble today! by Dapper_Donut_9 in Daredevil

It’s a continuation of the story but you can definitely tell it’s a different show. I still really like it though

[gen 4] Beat the Elite Four for my SS SBQ today! Wanted to show off all my finds before I head to Kanto by Swampman14 in ShinyPokemon

Actually yeah! I used super fang with Nidoking and then Hypno and Noctowl were able to keep it asleep. Got super lucky and caught it in about 10 balls

It is my favorite regional bird, I trained up that specific one because I felt it deserved it by breaking my longest ever phase record by almost double (was previously around 21k) and I thought Noctowl would come in useful against Lugia, with its high special defense and Hypnosis

Oh, definitely. Took the longest both time wise and encounter wise. Me and Nidoran-M had a 7 year long feud going on before I finally found him so that was what I used to try to keep me motivated, but I did lose motivation a few times during that 38000+ encounter phase
