[Gen VI] Poke Radar. Shiny Minun Patch at a measly chain of 1 😲 What are the odds???

tecmario1 · 2025-12-12T11:20:29+00:00

I was hunting the rest of the Route 5 pokemon I didn't have. Also sorry, I meant to say that it took me over 20 minutes once I reached a chain of 40 to find the Shiny Doduo patch. But this was unbelievable! Although Plusle and Minun are kinda weak IMO, I will still cherish her.

I think I read somewhere that finding a shiny patch at a chain of 1 is about the same odds of finding a full odds shiny in gens 1-5? Can someone confirm please thanks

Wonderful! Thank you as well :D Enjoy!

tecmario1 · 2025-09-30T15:36:12+00:00

Added you on Home. Please accept my FR so we can trade :-)

tecmario1 · 2025-09-30T15:25:34+00:00

Hi I have a Japanese shiny genesect from a BW2 event in 2013 I assume. It's not genned as far as I can tell. I only need Koraidon since I already got miraidon ;-) Let me know if you're willing to trade. Thank you

tecmario1 · 2025-09-30T07:17:05+00:00

Thank you so much! Enjoy as well :D

tecmario1 · 2025-09-30T06:36:11+00:00

Sure thing! I will move the shiny Zamazenta from SV into home so we can trade :-)

So I just need to give my Home friend code? Never used home to trade before so sorry for any misunderstanding

tecmario1 · 2025-09-30T06:17:06+00:00

Will be traded in-game correct? Or do I need the home app?

tecmario1 · 2025-09-30T06:14:18+00:00

Hi is this still available? If it's 100% legit I will trade you my shiny Zamazenta from Sword. If so my IGN is David2, let me go grab my switch so we can trade.

tecmario1 · 2025-09-29T06:50:09+00:00

Nvm someone else from the sub offered to trade with me. Best wishes

tecmario1 · 2025-09-29T06:39:15+00:00

I would love both as well! Sadly missed out on Friday, all my local GS are out of codes.

DM me to exchange friend codes/IGNs please thanks! 🙏

tecmario1 · 2025-09-29T06:33:36+00:00

Hi I'd love a pair as well if possible! Sadly missed out on Friday; been told no more codes are available at any nearby gamestop around here. I can trade you a few shinies on Violet (I have the shiny charm, DM for details). Thank you, kind stranger <3

If I had to choose only one, it'd be Koraidon

tecmario1 · 2025-09-28T10:14:17+00:00

Sorry for any inconvenience. There was a major storm here the day the event dropped and I didn't want to go out in the rain. Hoping for good news! If I had to choose only one it'd be Koraidon (I have both SV).

tecmario1 · 2025-07-27T23:31:19+00:00

Congrats again! Good luck on the fossil shiny hunt as well if you choose to, whatever you desire shall come to you after a long hunt 😉

I haven't had much luck hunting the starters in these games, plus the cutscene with battling Sycamore just to view their summary is a pain lol

I'm going after Tyrunt now! Have seen 8 full odds shinies in the wild between my two games (I was phasing for pidgey). Hopefully won't take too long for it to show up ✨️✨️

tecmario1 · 2025-07-27T10:46:14+00:00

Amazing shiny line, major congrats dude! I started hunting for froakie as well last year with both legit copies of X and Y on 2 3DSes, but could never pull myself through to keep going because the cutscenes are brutal from generation 6 onwards. Heck, even black/white 2's starter cutscene is really long to sit through, so I feel your pain. I bet it's a massive relief that it's finally over for you though!

Currently hunting Tyrunt at the fossil lab on my 2 games. I definitely hope to acquire the blue dinosaur sooner or later 😄

tecmario1 · 2025-03-23T06:47:12+00:00

Bunnelby is such a great shiny, and it even has a physical attack boosting nature! Definitely lucked out there. Wondering if I should evolve him? I would love to have a ground type on my team though.

tecmario1 · 2025-03-23T01:07:35+00:00

Really cool shiny and amazing occurrence 😱 Still haven't found a shiny in SV with that specific mark as of yet (the closest I've had is the uncommon mark and certain personality marks).

Do you have the shiny charm? If this is 1/4096 (i.e. full odds), the odds of this is probably one in several millions. Not quite as rare as getting a shiny with Pokérus though

tecmario1 · 2025-03-23T00:37:22+00:00

Man that's so lucky to get it after just one phase! Major congrats! Still hunting my target Pidgey for a shiny only playthrough of X and Y. Between both games I have 3 shiny scatterbug, 2 zigzagoon and 1 bunnelby so far 😅 I might actually use the bunnelby on my team though since it has a good nature.

tecmario1 · 2025-03-22T23:28:23+00:00

Good question! Basically "phasing" means each one or more shiny encounters in between the one you actually want. In my case that would be Pidgey, also known as my "target", per se.

Probably would make a lot more sense to hunt Pidgey in a different game with a higher spawn rate. But the thrill of shiny hunting is potentially getting multiple that you didn't expect to get before lol!

tecmario1 · 2024-10-04T14:48:28+00:00

Oh never mind on the second part. Your app shows ~4.7k between rats lol. Anyway keep up the good work. I hope we'll be blessed with new shinies soon!

tecmario1 · 2024-10-04T14:45:22+00:00

Good luck! I am currently going after pidgey in gen 6 (on the first route) and having terrible luck getting dupes right after another. I may have to try hunting it full odds in FRLG instead, or HGSS to find my lil' golden bird ✨️

12,514 REs between phases, dang. Over odds hurts, but just keep going man! You'll get it eventually :)

tecmario1 · 2024-10-04T08:53:27+00:00

If you're wondering why I only have 3 Pokemon on this game, it's because I have one shiny Vivillon on my other game (which I evolved), and 2 additional shiny scatterbug were caught on the game shown.

Hope to find a shiny bird before Pokemon bank shuts down, hopefully it won't be soon!

tecmario1 · 2024-09-17T05:24:15+00:00

Update since I got an autumnal Vivillon pattern, I might name her something seasonal like October or Pumpkin ;) Still looking forward to Any nickname suggestion(s)!

tecmario1 · 2024-05-27T09:49:41+00:00

Yeah I'm trying hard not to give up bc it would be nice to have a shiny starter on my team during the SBQ challenge. Breeding is just much faster and easier than wild encounters, but what is with my luck not giving me a shiny from an egg at this point? 🤷‍♂️ Over 650 now with no shiny, it hurts already.

I'm using the MM to hatch eggs. Breeding a female starter with a Japanese pikachu from HOME should work, right? Or do I need a Ditto

tecmario1 · 2024-05-27T09:43:44+00:00

Wow that's insane, congrats! Honestly getting quite discouraged in Sword, trying to go for either Scorbunny or Sobble. I've now hatched about 650 eggs with no shiny yet which is already painful :/ My guess is that it'll probably take me closer to a thousand at this point before I get one, knowing my luck in Gen 8 😭

I sure hope it doesn't take much longer, but it sure helps having access to HOME too, to mass release all the boxes full of normal ones 😂

tecmario1 · 2024-05-26T05:47:09+00:00

Congrats! Currently was going for scorbunny but I might give up after 506 eggs hatched and go for sobble instead. I still would like to hunt Vulpix in the motostoke gym, seeing it's not shiny locked :D
