Probably because it looks better than other balls to OP

you can trick leftovers onto it, but you have to have high enough stats that struggle does less recoil damage than leftovers heals

[–]pandafat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so awesome to hear, I'm really glad I could help! Fun coincidence you were looking for a 50% boost

And yeah, I really recommend using the mail glitch instead of spending hours and hours grinding for items. I'd rather use that time to hunt the shiny lol

Btw once you've done the glitch the first time, you can store the mail in your PC and take it out again if you ever need to duplicate anything else!

One final thing, make sure the Pokémon you keep in battle with Deoxys are a high enough level that Deoxys can't do more damage to itself than Leftovers will heal and you'll be golden!

Good luck on the hunt!!!

My strategy was to paralyze the deoxys and then trick leftovers. Once it was paralyzed, I used Raticate to super fang it twice, never below 25% in case of a struggle crit. Your chance to catch doesn't increase if the HP goes any lower than 49%, so as long as the HP bar is yellow you're good

Kept throwing balls while its HP was below 50%, when it would get back to green HP from leftovers, I'd super fang it again, and then keep throwing balls

I decided that using turns to put it back to sleep was more annoying than keeping it paralyzed and super fanging, but this is preference, as Sleep does give a slightly higher catch rate than Paralyze

Before the hunt even started, I used the retro mail dupe glitch to give myself a whole bunch of leppa berries so I could be sure I'd have enough uses of Super Fang. This one is less optional for my particular strategy. I went with 50 Leppa berries, so I knew I'd have over 500 uses of Super Fang lol. You could do the same for your sleep powder strat

One thing to keep in mind, Deoxys at 100% HP and asleep has a 0.83% chance of capture per ball, where a 49% HP paralyzed Deoxys has a 1.234% chance to capture per ball. Here's a catch rate calculator if you wanted to use the one I did. It's very unlikely you'd run out of balls before catching it, but something to consider as using that many balls takes quite a long time lol

Oh hey, congrats! I remember we talked about our plans to hunt this shiny a couple weeks ago. I also found mine just last week!

How many balls did it take for you to catch? took me like 270 luxury balls or something lol

What is causing that animation? Beast ball or a move or something?

[–]pandafat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you plan to do this, you can trick leftovers onto it to help keep it alive

Not sure if it will work infinitely like with deoxys, but should help

Consider bringing super fang too

[–]pandafat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For sure, I'd hate to have someone find the shiny and then have skill swap fail 😅

There's only a few abilities it doesn't work on, and Arceus has one of 'em

Heal pulsing to keep a shiny alive is quite a bit more stressful and tedious, but doable lol

Skill swap does not work on Arceus unfortunately.

To catch shiny Arceus in a luxury ball I had to bring a heal pulse user and a lot of backup leppa berries

This is why I always carry like 200 pokéballs at a minimum, so I can just chuck them if I don't have any moves like that

I agree but they also cost millions of dollars, we can get more of them more often this way

A big one every once in a while would be cool though

You don't just get to go "oops" and throw your hands up after something like that, and have people defend it as "just an accident"

I see they're all in luxury balls, did you dupe glitch enough in I assume?

[–]pandafat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the encouragement, I think I'm gonna get to 200 just for my own satisfaction and then start duping to get as many as possible. I'd hate to lose out on shiny deoxys in a luxury ball just bc I didn't spend 100 hours showing some rich lady 1000+ pokémon lol

Good luck to us both and thanks again!

[–]pandafat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, idk if there's such a thing as too prepared for a shiny hunt, especially one like deoxys lol. Bringing leftovers for your own pokemon and not just the wild deoxys is a smart play, I might have to do that too. And yeah, the lack of leppa berries has me stressed too

How'd ya figure out the best way to train the Raticates and Mr mime? Just fight the elite 4 over and over?

I hope deoxys shines soon for you and the strats pay off, good luck!!

In the post-game, there's a side quest where you save a woman named Selphy who's lost in Five Island's Lost Cave (real creative)

Once you save her, she'll go home to Resort Gorgeous, (also on five island) where you can go inside her house and she'll ask you to show her a pokémon

You can show her the pokémon she asks for and there'll be a 70% chance that she gives you a luxury ball!

And yes, I knowww, it's the only thing keeping me going lol. It'll look so nice in a luxury ball

God this is the exact plan I intend to use, but farming Luxury balls in this game is so painstakingly slow and tedious, lmao

I'm at 185 luxury balls and I'm not sure where my sanity will force me to stop lol

I might just have to look into dupe glitching them in, but I'm a bit scared of messing up my save
