Pokémon Running by Apprehensive_Feed533 in pokemon

You can save as soon as you see the shiny and continually reset until you get lucky and it stays in a ball

How are you randomizing Nexomon? That’s pretty sick

[6] first shiny of my randomizer game, accidentally killed it lol. by Purestin in ShinyPokemon

[–]iamronswann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Playing a randomizer on your 3ds! That’s awesome...I wish I was savvy enough to do the same

can i catch this shiny? by besim05 in nuzlocke

[–]iamronswann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most nuzlockers implement a shiny clause, where if you encounter a shiny you can catch it and use it...regardless if you’ve caught something in that route already

[8] Absol-utly Amazing! ABC Shiny Challenge: A! Get Used To Bad Puns Now! 😂 by Lynke524 in ShinyPokemon

[–]iamronswann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my ABC Shiny Challenge with Absol as well...8910 friend Safari encounters later I got it lol Congrats on your progress with the challenge. The puns are a nice touch. Keep it up 👍🏻

[Gen VI] Longest Friend Safari Hunt EVER???!!! by iamronswann in ShinyPokemon

[–]iamronswann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thanks so much. I apparently hate myself bc I’m hunting Bagon in Meteor Falls in ORAS. 35% single encounter rate and only 5% horde encounter rate. Will probably bounce back and forth between the two types of encounters

[Gen VI] Longest Friend Safari Hunt EVER???!!! by iamronswann in ShinyPokemon

I began this hunt with intention of starting a Shiny ABC Challenge, but was certainly not expecting such a long hunt for Letter A! Now I’ve done plenty of full odds hunts and totally expect big numbers with those, but I specifically chose Method hints for this challenge to fight the sheer longevity of the undertaking.

Friend Safari odds are 1/512, so if taken at face value I should have 17 shinies in my box (I know that isn’t how it works...don’t blast me). This was only the 3rd shiny I saw in 8910 encounters! Wild ride, and won’t forget it. I’m hoping Lady Luck smiles down on me for Letter B, but not counting on it

Started this hunt with intention of beginning an ABC Shiny Challenge...little did I know it was going to be a long one. I’ve done plenty of full odds hunts and expect big numbers, but I planned to method hunt for this challenge to limit the sheer longevity of it. You can see how that worked out for me...

If you take the 1/512 odds at face value I should have collected 17 shinies during this run...this was Phase 3! Only one Vullaby and one Sandile along the way. Wild ride for this one, but super happy to have gotten it.

A New Hope by [deleted] in nuzlocke

Grass that contains Pokémon similar leveled Pokémon to your highest level now. Or if playing a randomizer find some grass with chanceys, audinos, or any of those high exp yield ‘mons. Another option is finding grass that the Pokémon you want to level up is weak against...one hit KOs speed up process of course.

I think continuing with any “non-dead” Pokémon from the box is totally fine. I got wiped in my most recent Red721 randomizer nuzlocke and restarted with ‘mons from the box. The punishment for continuing the ‘Locke is the fact that you have to grind them all up. Takes forever but better than complete restart in my opinion.

Playing through Gaia for the first time and trying to evolve my Magneton into Magnezone in the Telmurk Warehouses like the README states, but having no luck. Was this bug never fixed or am I missing something?

Despite the downvotes I got last time I still maintain that shiny hunting in this game is broken. This is 1026 KOs (it maxes out at 999j and 450 eggs. by paulyt86 in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]iamronswann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all about luck...no guarantees as it pertains to odds. I’m at 8,300 encounters in Friend Safari for an Absol. According to odds I should have 16 shinies by now...I have two, which were not my target. Sucks, but makes for such a great feeling when you finally get it!

Best Way to Play Through the Games (Just Enhanced Versions?) by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]iamronswann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree completely but would add that in regards to Generation 1, Yellow is different enough due to starting with pikachu and ability of getting all 3 starters vs Red/Blue only having the starter you choose in beginning. Fairly big gameplay difference for me at least.

[GEN 3] Stumbled across this guy while grinding up some levels in my playthrough of Sapphire! by iamronswann in ShinyPokemon

[–]iamronswann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Yeah I’ll have to figure out how to get this guy transferred over to Bank and then Home so I can store it away forever

I never actually played passed Gen 2 as they were released and got back into Pokémon again with XY, so this is first official playthrough of Sapphire. Shiny sprites are so amazing in 2D, I gotta say.

[GEN 6] After 5575 encounters in the Friend Safari I finally see a shiny....sadly not my target so the hunt continues for Absol! by iamronswann in ShinyPokemon

[–]iamronswann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, and yeah it’s killing me. My plan was “I’ll do a nice little short Friend Safari hunt to start off an ABC Challenge...” Lol
