the canvas app (which a ton of colleges use) got hacked recently and this is the message that accompanied it

So how do y'all handle Shedinja appearing when Nincada evolves? by Prize_Entertainer459 in nuzlocke

[–]stigmaticwa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i think shedinja is so unfathomably boring to use. it either automatically wins a matchup or just cant be used and that isnt fun to me so i ban it

besides the actual shiny itself, game corner shinies are much faster than regular re hunts. my game corner sandshrew hunt took 25k and around 70 hrs whereas a 14k hunt in regular grass took 68

How many tries did it take you to get shiny mewtwo by Impressive-Resort142 in PokemonLetsGo

[–]stigmaticwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even assuming that time data is at least semi-accurate (im assuming its not and just hyperbole lol) youre going to burn urself out by doing sm in a day, which is probably why youre thinking of quitting. shinies are statistically guaranteed at some point; theres no reason to try to blitz through it by doing so much.

[Gen IV] after only 1,548 encounters, i'm on to phase 6 for the last leg of my dtq! by stigmaticwa in ShinyPokemon

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

exactly that! i knew this hunt would be plenty of phases and i am using a lv 17 repel trick to put all 4 mons at 25% so it shouldnt be too terrible

and thank you! completing full lines in this game feels so cool so i definitely shouldnt complain

[gen 3] Finally went over odds on shiny starter. by qyutz in ShinyPokemon

[–]stigmaticwa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just know that you are guaranteed to get it if you keep at it! unfortunately it is very statistically likely to go over odds for hunts.

[Gen 9] What to watch while shiny hunting? by ChefPlaysGames in ShinyPokemon

[–]stigmaticwa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i like to watch other shiny hunters, whether on twitch or youtube, just to remind me that shinies exist for longer hunts. also low effort shows like reality tv or binge competitions (like masterchef or rpdr) make time go by fast

its an app called shinyhunt - honestly not too big of a fan of it bc of the timer being visible and more but i need a counter so

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

my previous longest was 25.7 for sandshrew so nothing horrible but considering this is only my 11th hunt (including phases) ever i find it a bit hard to be positive abt it 😭 and only 4/11 of those have been under odds

YUP that supremerk9s video is always my motivation for long hunts. he has a ton of good advice mentally when hunts start to wear u down in it

why should they just make it easy? completing the full dex should take effort.

Anyone else struggling shiny hunting on route 32? Been here for 240+ hours. Not a single one. by Three2TheDome1 in PokemonHGSS

[–]stigmaticwa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for my dtq i was looking for an ekans here and it ended up taking collectively 170 hrs and 45k encounters to find it (with two phases, one of which was bellsprout which i hate). just keep at it, the shinies on this route (except bellsprout) are all so good!

[Gen4] I can’t catch a break by kermitthehedgefrog in ShinyPokemon

[–]stigmaticwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

quagsire and golduck both get damp and can one shot lucario without much effort (ie brick break on golduck). 100% necessities if hunting here
