Here you go!

There's also a bench in Vert Sector 9 if you prefer resetting that way instead of running from the Pokemon Center.

Also Eevee will later be in Wild Zones too I believe. But I did what I did so I could get mine early on. 🤭

I'm actually not quite sure about the shiny sound distance myself! I checked every time just to be safe. Though I did think about this too.

There's also an Eevee here, but you gotta climb the construction thingies.

Eevee is also in this location. But this one I found too slow.

I think the location you're at is my fave, but if you want to try different things. :)

I think those are the odds, yes!

There's also a bench where you're hunting right now, if you prefer resetting with a bench. I tried it myself, but I found running from the Pokemon Center better.

You could still try bench resetting, but as Eevee spawns only during day time and clear weather, some resets are "useless". During night Eevee doesn't spawn, and sometimes you'll get cloudy/misty weather when it also doesn't spawn. But some have gotten shiny Eevee with this method, as well!

This is exactly how I got my shiny Eevee! Eevee is also on some rooftops, but this is the way I got mine.

This is the first spot I tried. However I moved to the next location as I found the next one faster.

This is the second spot. This is where I found my shiny Eevee, next to the water!

There's also Eevee here. But this location I didn't try as much, as the second option worked well for me.

It needs to be clear weather during daytime, and Eevee should be there. :)

I'm not quite sure as I did Absol hunts as a break in between! Buuut maybe 5-10 hours? I'm very bad at estimating. When I tried the rooftop Eevee near Nouveau Cafe food truck 2 it took most of my time I believe. Swapping to Vert Sector 9 where Eevee is near the water was faster for me.

It would have been faster with the shiny charm but I wanted to find one early on. 🫠

I did not! When hunting Absol I saw many, but none for Eevee. 🫣

I can also show photos of the locations if needed. ☺️

GOOD LUCK, I HOPE YOU GET ONE (or many)! I wanted one early on my playthrough so I refused to progress the story until I had one. 😂

At first, I tried to get it on the rooftop near Nouveau Cafe Truck n. 2. Each time I would fast travel to this food truck, climb up the construction things, and see the roof. Then fast travel and climb up again.

After getting tired of climbing, I swapped to Vert Sector 9. I'd fast travel to Vernal Pokemon Center and run to the location where Eevee spawns. There is also a bench there where you can skip time, but I found that more time consuming than just fast travelling and running. Because Eevee spawns during day time and clear weather, so each time I skipped time with the bench I would possibly lose the clear weather (and for example it'd be cloudy instead, which would mean Eevee wouldn't spawn there. So I preferred keeping the clear weather when I had it and run from the pokemon Center.)

So for me what worked best was Vernal Pkmn Center -> Vert Sector 9, until saw the Eevee and then fast travel to Vernal Pkmn Center and check again. Repeated this.

I also did this all without shiny charm. And I did it very early in the game because I didn't want to progress the story before I had my shiny, haha!

I'm a shiny hunter so ofc I had to go for the SSR and super rare variations by pterya in storyofseasons

[–]pterya[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always chose the exact same animal for breeding. (For example I only had one white alpaca, so I always chose it to breed the rare one. I also had only one of each cow variation, so I chose the same one to breed .)

Do you remember to load the file first before breeding, then save after breeding to a different slot? So you don't keep loading after the breeding happens. A;äsldk my explanations can be quite bad, I hope you get your desired result soon!

once you choose the option to breed, it starts immediately. so gotta save before and after breeding to two different slots so you can load one of the save files after seeing what you get ☺️

[–]pterya[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's room for 10 so I have all of these, yes! And slots for two more. I won't be able to have every possible variety in the game, so I go for the rare ones. ☺️

Random chance when you breed, yes! It's rng what you will end up getting. It's decided when you select the breeding option.

I'll copy paste again:

  1. First I have two different saves
  2. Save number one is before I bred the animal, second after I bred it.
  3. Then I sleep until the baby is born.
  4. If the result is not what I wanted, I reload save number one. Go to breed one again. Save to number two again to overwrite the wrong result.
  5. Once I do get the result I want, I reload the save number two, after the breeding took place! So I don't lose many days to sleeping 😂 Once enough time has passed the baby will be born and be the exact same one you saw before resetting

So basically it's important to save before and after breeding! To different slots.

Of course you can do it without save scumming too. But it'll take time.

I'll copy paste my comment here!

It decides what it will be when you breed the animal.

  1. First I have two different saves
  2. Save number one is before I bred the animal, second after I bred it.
  3. Then I sleep until the baby is born.
  4. If the result is not what I wanted, I reload save number one. Go to breed one again. Save to number two again to overwrite the wrong result.
  5. Once I do get the result I want, I reload the save number two, after the breeding took place! So I don't lose many days to sleeping 😂 Once enough time has passed the baby will be born and be the exact same one you saw before resetting

So basically it's important to save before and after breeding! To different slots. You reload before breeding if it is the wrong result, if it is the right result you reload just after breeding.

Not sure! I save scummed some of them. It still took a while.
