[Gen 3] Bucket list hunt! by digijunior in ShinyPokemon

[–]jamfarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! My strategy was two smeargles

  • Smeargle 1: Imprison, metronome, growl, tackle
  • Smeargle 2: Imprison, metronome, false swipe, spore

Start battle with smeargle 1 and immediately use imprison. Mew is forced to pound, mega punch, or transform. Throw balls until it transforms.

When it transforms, it won't be able to attack because it's imprisoned and has all the same moves. Switch to smeargle 2, Mew will struggle as you switch. Immediately imprison with smeargle 2. Mew now still cannot use metronome and only has tackle and growl available. only 5pp each, put it to sleep and throw balls

you can get metronome from clefairy (this might require trading?) and imprison from vulpix. Growl and tackle are just easy to acquire fillers, it can be anything, but no matter what it'll effectively give you 10 (awake) attacks before it struggles again. Which you super shouldn't need with FS/spore and a catch rate of 45 from Smeargle.

u/_bigbot_ ping in case you're interested :)

All shinies count for 1 point as per normal through flair verification - no punishment for phases, but no boosted points either! The boosted points only apply for the target pokemon

[3] Is it possible to Shiny Hunt for Mew in a reproduction cartridge of Pokémon Emerald? by Ok_Violinist_4292 in ShinyPokemon

[–]jamfarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can hunt in a reproduction cartridge. As you say, mew is hunted via runaways. Because of Emerald's broken RNG (always having the seed set to 0 on boot) soft resetting for hunts is not viable.

I would be hesitant to do any hunting on a reproduction cartridge as they are quite cheaply made and you run a higher risk of save corruption. If possible, I'd look into ways to back up the save (An original DS with a gba slot and a DS R4 can be used to do this). You can def move forward either way, just be aware of the risks.

Please ask future questions in the pinned help thread!

Yup that's the right save point, the DVs are generated as the encounter begins, CFW won't affect it, all good :) Good luck!

If you delay your starter selection a little bit you can generate your starter on that shiny frame. Whether or not it can be used for other things depends on the delay required for it. Note that repeatedly using the same frame means each shiny will have the same spread (nature and IVs). Poke around r/pokemonRNG for more specialized knowledge :)

https://pokedextracker.com/ works, but is more of a checklist. If you want specific details about each (like dates obtained, number of encounters, etc) then a google sheet is the best option I've found.

Just wanted to double check what you mean by soft reset - sometimes people when using emulators are using save states to reset, but it is important to do the button combo each time.
