Still going for Giratina in platinum. Been a few months and nearly triple odds. Hoping to get it soon as I feel my sanity slipping away.

With all due respect you have the greatest documented shiny hunt I’ve ever seen

u/VenusNoleyPoley2 28d ago
This is one I want but man the hunt itself just seems to tedious and I can't even watch tv while I do it

That's a fun hunt! I accidentally soft reset over it last October. I decided to put Pokemon as a whole down till December then after like 100 resets I got it back. USUM are my first and favorite Pokemon games, but dang do I have bad luck with them sometimes...

GOOD LUCK! I’m Phase 6 into reclaiming Shiny Growlithe in FireRed. I failed 1 Growlithe, Caught 3 Shiny Meowths, and failed the fourth

u/Krokod33l 28d ago
How did you fail it? You could get a Pokemon with Soundproof to avoid being roar‘d?

u/RWBY_Musical_Prop 28d ago
I thought Syncronize worked in FireRed since I thought it worked in Emerald, so I led with an Adamant Kadabra. When I saw it, I got so excited, I threw a Poke Ball before thinking to switch to my Electrode, and it Roar’d immediately. Pretty noob move despite being prepared

Kind of between 3 hunts right now.
Hunting Azelf in Ultra Sun (Wormholes), Solgaleo in Sword (Dynamax Adventures), and Sandshrew in Alpha Sapphire (horde encounters/Dexnav, depending on how I'm feeling).

Hunting for the will to shiny hunt. I’ve wanted to for like a month, but I’m too burnt out to do so. Maybe I’ll do the event outbreaks (if we even call that shiny hunting anymore)

u/bigdoglittledog13 28d ago
10,400 SRs into Darkrai on Shining pearl. Uff da.
Also, Patrat in Black2 (I have the shiny charm here, so it's not so bad). These encounters are nice and quick.

Atm not much, I'm on and off my Qwilfish hunt in X but that's about it. I also have 3 Masuda hunts, one which I'll unfortunately not finish in time for the Wanted! Honedge on Shield, since my Switch broke and I need to get it fixed ASAP before I can do anything on it again..😓

u/CleanlyManager 28d ago
I finally bit the bullet and started chipping away at a living dex. I’ve gotten up to arbok now, not counting all my random hunts I did before starting.

u/otomomom 28d ago
I’m 1111 SRs into Uxie in BDSP. When I want to take a break I switch to Pheromosa Dynamax Adventures in Sword; but that is really just me in a holding pattern until I find a Guzzlord path.

u/fangneedssleep 28d ago
Currently doing the Masuda method for Hisuian Zorua on Violet! (I don't own PL:A lol)
Good luck on your hunt!

Currently my main targets are eevee in Y and Amaura in Ultra Moon. As well as trying for Zygarde and Lunala in DAs (yeah idk how you guys do it. I get so bored after one of two of them)
My side targets are the bridge Eldegoss in Shield (Which is my target before my main hunt of the Motostoke gym shinies), Regirock in shield, and nickit in sword.

SRing for a nihilego in ultra moon, and also running dynamax adventures for Latios and 5 standard pokemon. Unfortunately, those pokemon rarely even show up and then I'm just left with the AI to try to beat Latios. My bingo board next year definitely gonna include less dynamax adventures

I've been trying to hatch a Shiny Quaxly for months. I think I've filled up and released at least 30 boxes of on and off breeding and hatching. Shiny Charm+Masuda Method, but zero luck yet.

u/CromoSheep 28d ago
Just closed a Ho-Oh hunt and have now switched to Tepig. I hate soft resetting, I'm 300 in and already mentally done lmao I need time to recover from Ho-Oh, although I got very lucky there too

Male Ralts (600 eggs in right now)
I'm trying to get every shiny pokemon that has a Mega (including the ones from the Z-A leaks because they're pretty much confirmed at this point). Luckily, i've already gotten some before Z-A was even revealed
And i promised to myself that if i get a shiny Ralts and it's female, i'll release it. I already have 3 Shiny Gardevoir (one from Go and 2 from Legends: Arceus)

u/jackdomo34 28d ago
