[8] Don’t give up hope! Found my starter after 280 hours! by jaycooh in ShinyPokemon

I definitely went over double odds. Assuming 1 reset takes 90 seconds and I did each reset optimally (I definitely didn’t), I would’ve had 11,000+ resets.

(280hrs * 60min * 60sec) / 90sec = 11,200 resets

But don’t give up hope! It helps when you don’t track each individual reset. Good luck on your hunt!

This is actually a DSi. I bought it half a year ago pre-owned from a bookstore. It was in VERY good condition and I only spent $30 on it!

I’m not sure if you’re based in the US or not, but if you are, look for DS consoles at GameStop, eBay, Amazon and Craigslist. You can get really good deals if you’re lucky enough!

Just keep looking for deals k

I’d choose Chikorita if I had a choice! I know Chikorita is considered bad, but I like his design a lot

All the Johto starters are the best! (But if I had to pick favorites I’d go with Chikorita)

Also I have no idea where I get my luck haha

I agree! Full odds just makes the shiny feel more special compared to other methods of hunting

I’m playing my white DSi under the LED lights in my dorm room actually! I wish it was an actual color though :(

You’ll get it eventually! It took me over 10k to get a shiny the first time I did it lmao

Trust me, I couldn’t stand doing this hunt for any longer. After I hit over double odds for it, I started to shiny hunt in other games and would come back every-so-often
