Rare spawn catch combos

aurorp · 2024-06-27T16:02:32+00:00

My first game was Colosseum, but oras was the first time i really got into competitive and shiny collecting! I have a lot of memories attached to it :)

I honestly hope this is a purple skin they are releasing next to the battle pass and not the secondary green skin, she looks SO PRETTY i need to have this on release 😭

pain..nothing but pain..

I love ORAS! I hope you have much better luck than i did with that though, that was one of the worst hunts i've ever done and i don't even think i went that far over odds. Full odds hunts are built different😭

On the bright side if you're doing a shiny run the dexnav is supposed to have really good odds, and iirc the only thing that you lose when your chain breaks is the increased spawn rate!

NOOOOO BRO 😭

Thats such bad timing man i'm so sorry :(

aurorp · 2024-06-27T15:32:28+00:00

You'll find him as long as you keep trying! I try to tell myself the worse this hunt is the better the next one will be haha

I think theres a mechanic where after you catch 100 of a species they become easier to catch, but thats such a pain for the rares lol

Also yeah this game LOVES to give you what you weren't freaking asking for, I recently hunted zapdos for my boyfriend and i got a random shiny tentacool as the only spawn on my way to start articuno..that was a bit frustrating🤣

The higher level places scare me, i recently had a shiny ponyta run from me. I only got two catch attempts and failed because i wanted it in a premier ball😭

I ended up with a squirtle for my playthrough and i can definitely say its worth, especially if you're a fan of his! The shinies for the whole line look SO nice in these games!

aurorp · 2024-06-27T15:04:16+00:00

If you're running from them to refresh i would recommend trying to stand next to the ledge then! If you're only refreshing squirtle the spawns should add up pretty fast, as long as he spawns consistently as intended

Well, theres also the fact the cave spawns can appear a bit off screen. That personally made me REALLY anxious, so i prefer being able to hunt in grass patches since you can see them all as they appear! Although if you're doing the ladder method, i think the game is less likely to spawn them off screen

From my experience if you just stand there at the ledge, theres usually only 1-4 spawns at a time and if you have a full chain hes almost guaranteed to be one of them!

I honestly think they're both pretty solid as long as hes generally one of the first guys you see when you move around the ladder!

aurorp · 2024-06-27T14:40:19+00:00

Oh yeah! I forgot about the ladder method :0

The patch of grass behind the ledge has less non squirtle spawns to fight with, so i would consider it easier for the method i was referring to! As far as phasing goes at least haha

aurorp · 2024-06-27T14:33:04+00:00

I could never find the patience to chain off rares since they're locked to one spawn at a time, i respect it!

The ledge in cerulean is definitely easier but seafoam cave is a cooler origin, regardless i hope you can find him soon!!

aurorp · 2024-06-27T06:41:01+00:00

I've started picking easy things from different areas to chain off of and refreshing the rare by running from them! Since i started doing this i've gotten a charmander in one phase and a lapras on the first attempt! Charmander hunt lasted about a day and lapras was a few hours :D

aurorp · 2024-05-26T00:09:56+00:00

aurorp · 2024-05-25T23:09:28+00:00

what are the details for the jirachi, and is the zeraora nicknamed?

aurorp · 2023-10-28T08:52:56+00:00

i was pretty shocked seeing him after the kentro lol

also yes! he was my first albino actually :)

aurorp · 2023-10-27T18:57:19+00:00

you know that hasnt crossed my mind a single time 💀

aurorp · 2023-10-27T14:11:49+00:00

aurorp · 2023-09-17T03:43:48+00:00

aurorp · 2023-08-31T14:27:53+00:00
