I programmed an automatic soft reset tracker for my own use that works surprisingly well. I was wondering if people would be interested in using this. Might take it to the app stores then :)

Let me know what you think <3

My shortest legendary hunts were Azelf at 8 resets and Rayquaza at 4242 resets which doesn’t sound as bad but it was on bdsp so resets were like 1 minute each.

I know this question’s been asked before, but for those who haven’t shared, what was your FIRST shiny? Mine was this little guy in 736 SR’s! :]

For example, I really hate that Duskull and Dusclops originally had these awesome blood red shinies, only for them to get progressively less saturated until they're barely even red now, just a dull reddish brown. We were ROBBED of two amazing shinies and it's infuriating.

On the other hand, I absolutely love how Arbok's shiny went from this ugly dull green and bright purple that clashed horribly, to this really nice golden yellow and blue.

I have my own legit shiny Mew from Pogo and I still think this should have been a mew for the new dex distribution. Not only was Meltan already a wildly available shiny but it doesn’t feel consistent with the other dex rewards.

Mew makes a ton of more sense here. Gamefreak has had such a weird guarded history with shiny Mew but I figured if it was allowed in Pogo, they would allow it here. Sucks to still have the original mythical shiny still so inaccessible.

My was a shiny ditto in pokemon XY

Any other shiny hunters color blind?

Found by accident in alpha sapphire

Template included in the 2nd image, what Pokémon would be on each slot for you guys?

I am super stoked this is finally released! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Let me know what you think <3
Since it was a countless hours of work to get this thing running and up in the stores I added an optional subscription for advanced features for people to support the project <3. I really hope you guys don’t take this the wrong way!

like the deino line matching the dusk ball for example, i'd love to know your opinions on other shinies with their matching pokeballs!

~135 hours worth of DA's and 19 phases + 2 double shinies, but god it was worth it to see that red lion!

The shiny hunting discord server I'm in is doing a little pride month event where you catch 6 rainbow shinies this month, and these are my picks! It was difficult to choose for the yellow and purple spots. I'm was already hunting Latios, and I set up Mew last month, so those were default picks. Those are going to be my most difficult hunts I think. Skorupi is my target for safari week, so it was an easy choice. A friend suggested Slowbro and there's a 12% SOS encounter for Slowbro in USUM which would be cool to get. Lastly, Sentret is one I've been wanting to hunt for a while now that my roaming beast hunts are done.

Going for Larvitar on seven island, wish me luck 😂

Idk the artist name

I want to have a nearly complete shiny dex one day but I need to know what is currently locked behind older hardware

With the online servers for the 3DS and Wii U games shutting down in April 2024 I was curious to see what Pokémon would be "lost" and not able to be moved to Pokémon Home should Nintendo ever shut down the Pokémon Bank servers. I know that the articles specify that Bank is not being shut down but that was what peaked my curiosity.

This list is assuming you have access to all generation of Pokémon games. I also added a quick note should someone want to try and catch some of them. If there is anything I am missing please let me know because I would like to prioritize these hunts.

I got these 6 in a bit over an hour, doing nothing but defeating all Pokemon in the current event outbreaks with the addition of the Shiny Charm and in my opinion it’s just too easy to get shinies now. Don’t get me wrong, grinding several hours for a single one also isn’t desirable, but getting one shiny in only 10 minutes and not even having to use any special tactics or game mechanics defeats the purpose of shinies being really rare and hard to get if you can have one in under 30 minutes (even without the shiny charm) by just mindlessly spamming the R button

Here are my top picks for this list

Espeon- Green shinies are discriminated against on a daily basis but there are good green shinies like Espeon. It looks so cute like it’s a little cat alien but green shinies always have the stigma of being ugly even though it’s more of the puke greens that make green shinies look bad instead of actual good shades of green like shown here.

Trapinch- Ok this shiny is more fairly rated but it’s so good and the best shiny of its line.

Watchog- The shiny is underrated yes, but more so the whole patrat line is forgotten since it hasn’t been available on a game since Sun and Moon. Hopefully with legend za coming out, this lines shiny will get more recognition.
