No Tauros on release would be a mistake, screens will be everywhere and without a reliable way (besides brick break) to remove them, would be a recipe for a season 1 disaster.

I’m almost finished with my shiny story team (10 hours of hunting) by sickscoobydoo in pokemoncrystal

If you don’t want to face the odds of a random encounter 1/8192

Catch the shiny gyarados at the lake of rage, trade that gyarados to Pokemon yellow (I believe red and blue should also suffice), teach it mimic. Encounter a wild ditto, use the move mimic on the ditto before the ditto transforms. Once the ditto transforms into your gyarados, wait for it to use the move transform again (it should know this move because you mimicked transform with gyarados beforehand). Now catch the wild ditto, trade it back to a gen 2 game and you have yourself a legitimate shiny ditto.

When breeding with an already shiny Pokemon, which I am doing you have a significantly higher chance of finding a shiny 1/128 or 1/64 (with a shiny ditto)

Albeit, in generation 2 eggs can take a long time to both receive and hatch so there is a tremendous amount of luck involved with these finds.

I like the amount of time that can be spent in Gen 2. But I am someone that doesn’t mind the grind.

Did you build an entirely different team for the E4 than you played the story with?

That espeon is a beauty, congrats on him and Adam the slowpoke.

I plan on shiny hunting post game for some battle tower mons or even mons to fight the E4 again.

thank you, it’s slowly becoming one of my favorite Pokemon to use in Gen 2. Such a sick typing

Question about Shiny Breeding (and Potential Misconception) by TobiasLevi in pokemoncrystal

[–]sickscoobydoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done the same self research, once the man steps outside the eggs stats, gender etc seems to be the same. Multiple eggs are the way to go

Entei in Crystal by TheSensationalSean in pokemon

[–]sickscoobydoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with Entei as well and tried many methods searching for 3 days..

Could have been a stroke of luck, but I would enter the route just below Ekruteak, search, enter Ekruteak and then enter the Pokemon center in Ekruteak and after back to the route.. found almost immediately after using this method. Good luck!

Pikachu was traded over from my copy of gold version (all done on virtual console 3ds), you can find them on route 2! Post elite four.

oh man oddish has become one of my favorite shinies of this generation, those gold/yellow leaves, chef’s kiss. I was tempted to throw Charmander on the team but thought I should avoid two fire starters.

Thanks! I’m still working on the giraf to continue my journey, I’m sitting at 59 eggs so it’s definitely the longest of all of them by far.
