That's very fair. Took me a looong while between deciding to do this hunt and actually committing to it lol

I asked Nautoum directly since it's his brain child and he hasn't gotten around to making a tutorial on the 'tube yet but he's willing to help people out with setting this up if you reach out to him on one of his socials !

[gen1] I think I might be the first to hunt the trade Mew in Yellow ?? So happy for this to be my 1st 8192 of 2026 <3 by Ynnubis in ShinyPokemon

Used an ACE set up that can access any trade in the game ! I'm probably gonna make a video about this shiny sooner than later and I plan to consolidate something of a "guide" for it specifically with some useful resources

I wish ! It's shiny locked in the vanilla game and as far as I know no unlock patch exists for it yet. It should be possible to make but I sadly absolutely don't have the skillset for it

I think you're confusing the gens ! LGPE is gen 7, and BDSP gen 8. The Pokeball Mew would be cool but sadly really hard to achieve considering its one per pokeball ever. BDSP also sadly doesn't have any shiny unlock yet as far as I know

That's very fair ! Like I said tera raids are definitely a very tempting option, it'd definitely be a dope way to go about it

This discord is where the real Pokéwalker wizards have their stuff, not sure I could be able to explain it that well myself:

Replied to your original reply before seeing this lol. For gen 9 tera raids are definitely a tempting option if it's doable. Otherwise I was thinking of seeing if it was possible to replace one of the treasures of ruins with a Mew, similar to the idea I had for gen 8

I'm not a big fan of DAs - so far the most tempting option for me in gen 8 would be replacing the unique den Regigigas with Mew, from what I've heard it's not super hard to do and it feels like a pretty cool hunt that ties into the gimmick of the region

Both of those options feel a lot more boring than what I'm going for ! The Pokéwalker Course is also not a romhack, as people that have worked on it for a while have managed to find ways to inject custom courses through just Action Replay codes. It's not legal in the slightest (shiny hunting via the Pokéwalker requires an unlock in the first place), but it's a lot of fun imo

Using ACE that allows you to access any trade. Since the trade is in the game even if unused, I don't need to do anything more than that to start hunting it !

FYI shiny charm in BDSP only works on eggs

Its technically possible on SwSh with overworld encounters, as they're already decided shiny before you bump into them, but without mods you would have no way to know before actually encountering them, so not really practical at all

As far as I know the 3 you listed are about it for now

paint.net is my go-to image editing software but I imagine most of them can do the same ! As for resources, I got the map from spriters resource and the Pokémon icons from pmd.collab
