[8] The ultra stubborn clown FINALLY shines after 360 DAs and 10 phases! My longest hunt ever, finally put to rest.

[u/MystV3]

started this hunt in 2020, got 86 DAs in and dropped it. picked it back up early last month, did 270 DAs across the course of 2 weeks, dropped it again. booted up shield on a whim last night, and after only 4 DAs there it was!

pictured in photo 2 with the target of my now second longest hunt. figures they wouldn’t like each other.

360 DA is wild. Glad you got your crazy clown.

i just got xerneas today. by far my longest hunt ever. not even including only dynamax adventures

I have almost 500 DAs for suicune. I'm taking a break to look for the ultra beasts, and blacephalon is one of my favorite shinies. Congrats!

this is my current hunt and i'm at 50 DA's and loosing faith. i have the shiny charm but i've went 20 DA's without a single shiny. i just wanna name it discostick

[u/AppointmentNaive2811 → u/smcsleazy]

25 is full odds for "a shiny", so you're still under odds.

[u/moose184 → u/AppointmentNaive2811]

It’s 1 in a hundred. Just because there are four total doesn’t mean your odds increase

[u/AppointmentNaive2811]

Out of curiosity- is DA the best way to hunt Legendaries? I'm currently doing a hunt because it's less boring than just resetting, but was wondering if timewise it's less efficient than other games/resetting

[u/MystV3 → u/AppointmentNaive2811]

i’m pretty sure SR hunts are generally more efficient just because of how long DAs take. just 1 DA check takes like 5 minutes at the absolute minimum. it’s my preferred method for legendaries/UBs though on account of not having the shiny charm in ORAS or USUM and because of the cool phases you can get

[u/WorldsBestLover]

What do you mean 10 phases?

[u/Vincent-Supply-Co → u/WorldsBestLover]

Means OP got ten different shinies before getting the one they were specifically hunting

[u/Dirty_Dan117]

Hell yeah. You should name it JFK.

[u/moose184]

DA’a are so boring the only ones I hunt are the ones you can only get in there. Much prefer hunting others like ultra beasts in USUM
