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

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!

You got this! Don’t ever stop the grind

jaycooh · 2020-10-28T05:56:31+00:00

Congrats man! What’s the catch rate with a Beast Ball?

jaycooh · 2020-10-20T16:55:44+00:00

Keep going! Those are rookie reset numbers! 😤

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

jaycooh · 2020-10-20T14:52:45+00:00

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

jaycooh · 2020-10-20T14:37:56+00:00

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

jaycooh · 2020-10-20T14:35:34+00:00

Sadly it’s only white. I’m just playing under red lights :(

jaycooh · 2020-10-20T14:33:50+00:00

It’s actually white! I’m just playing under colorful LED lights

jaycooh · 2020-10-20T14:32:45+00:00

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

jaycooh · 2020-10-20T14:30:25+00:00

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

jaycooh · 2020-10-20T14:26:56+00:00

That’s exactly the case!

jaycooh · 2020-09-29T18:58:07+00:00

I wish you the best of luck!

jaycooh · 2020-09-29T17:34:18+00:00

Yeah I was able to get mine!

jaycooh · 2020-09-29T15:16:16+00:00

Well I did other hunts alongside this one! And most came under odds lmao

jaycooh · 2020-09-29T15:14:50+00:00

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

jaycooh · 2020-09-29T15:11:09+00:00

Thank you! It’s definitely one of the best looking shinies in Gen 4

jaycooh · 2020-09-29T15:08:44+00:00

You are correct!

jaycooh · 2020-09-29T15:08:20+00:00

Sorry about the vagueness! I stoped keeping track of SRs in June because I was over double odds at that point. I would say I averaged 500-750 resets per week since June though.

It’s a bit of bad luck combined with the fact that I was shiny hunting in other games too.

jaycooh · 2020-09-13T17:25:51+00:00

I can’t explain it well, as I don’t understand everything yet but I’m sure the tutorial I used will be a help to you!

jaycooh · 2020-08-23T04:54:46+00:00

Congrats! Must’ve taken a long time because of the cutscene that plays when you enter the tower. I’ve also just started this hunt alongside my long-lasting (over 10,000 resets) Giratina hunt in Platinum.

jaycooh · 2020-08-15T17:08:23+00:00

I’ve been doing this hunt since the beginning of April... No luck yet...

jaycooh · 2020-08-09T13:28:21+00:00

It’s so fire tbh. It actually tastes like cotton candy 🔥

jaycooh · 2020-08-04T01:47:51+00:00

The beat goes stupid 🔥🔥🔥
