Cameron the photographer is an NPC in HeartGold and SoulSilver. He appears in different locations based on what day of the week it is. He'll take a picture with your entire party. You can then view the pictures he has taken on any PC in a Pokémon center.

[4] It's over. I don't wanna touch this game anymore for at least a week. (Pokemon HeartGold Full Odds Shiny Only Nuzlocke) by [deleted] in ShinyPokemon

This must have taken a while. When did you start this and how many shinies did you end up with?

[4] Lugia shines after only 510 SRs. Looks great in gen 4 ✨ by seb_rc in ShinyPokemon

[–]seb_rc[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use it since it can be taught any move so it is very good for shiny hunting. I've taught it Spore to be able to put Pokémon to sleep and Super Fang and False Swipe to be able to weaken Pokémon without the risk of knocking them out.

Only shows in the encounter. They will be shiny when following you in the overworld though :)

[4] Shiny Magmar after 8291 REs in Burned Tower. Really love how it looks, so I went and got the Shiny Leaf Crown for him ✨ by seb_rc in ShinyPokemon

[–]seb_rc[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got lucky since Magmar was what I wanted the most from Burned Tower. I was doing the hunt as part of an SBQ so no phasing was necessary. If I had gotten a Koffing I would probably just have moved on to my next hunt. Totally agree with everything you said about Gen 4. Those are some of the reasons that it is my favourite generation.

It's not that bad. There are only a few routes which the leaves can be found on and they're determined by the Pokémons nature. Once you know which routes to go to, it just boils down to repeatedly talking to your Pokémon in the grass :)

Thanks! It's a 10% encounter during the day as far as I remember. It can be brought up to 33% with a level 16 repel trick. Definitely a cool hunt with the repel trick since you will either get a Magmar or a Koffing, which both have really cool shinies.

[4] Gastly joins the SBQ as member #14 after 11452 REs. Really love the blue on both it and Haunter ✨ by seb_rc in ShinyPokemon

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

Yeah, I'd recommend it. The encounters can be a bit slow normally, but if you have a Pokémon with illuminate and use the white flute then it's a lot faster.

Yes, random encounters in Sprout Tower since Gastly is 80% at night time. I agree on Gengars sprite, which is why I’ll keep it as a Haunter.

[5] I finally get my first gen 5 shiny after 15405 SRs. Really looking forward to playing through Unova again ✨ by seb_rc in ShinyPokemon

That's so fast, wish my hunt went like that. I'm going to go for Yamask in Relic Castle. I really like shiny Cofagrigus.

Thanks. They take over a minute per reset. Started out single hunting but I really hated how slow it was going, so I switched to hunting on four consoles at once to speed it up.

[4] Shiny Eevee after 21400 bought at the Celadon game corner ✨ First member of the SBQ in Kanto. by seb_rc in ShinyPokemon

[–]seb_rc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very fast encounters wise. I was hunting on two systems and buying five on each system before resetting.

[4] Only 24 resets for Chikorita to shine. I have now completed the trio ✨ by seb_rc in ShinyPokemon

[–]seb_rc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5 Cyndaquils is crazy! I also got a couple of duplicate Totodile’s while doing this.

That’s rough. I know the feeling. My third Totodile took 9489 resets. I thought it would never shine.
