Pokemon Shiny Hunting In The Video Games

[ragingkraken]

I tend to RNG manip in gen 3 (including the GameCube games). It just feels satisfying to hit those perfect frames than soft resetting. But I am currently soft resetting for a shiny Ho oh in Gold which I’m thinking is going to be way over odds. I wish there was a way to manip it but oh well.

Manip is very cool to see! Definitely a skill feat. Doing it in Colo is super cool.

[ragingkraken]

The Colo and XD ones are definitely cool. Super satisfying too. Maybe once I actually get around to completing a shiny living dex in that gen, I’ll move to gen 4 and manip there.

If I did video games I would be obsessed with this!

So I decided to do a shiny starter hunt in leaf green. Hoping for the shiny char but I know it will take a while

[Rockets_rares]

So this happend the other day lolol so insane now shiny hunting in petalburg woods

[dragon1te]

Giratina has been found! Didn’t keep track of encounters but it was probably around 3000-4000.

[Charizard1020]

I use an app counter. How long did it take? Congrats btw!

I hunted quite a few in sv.
In previous generations I find it to be far too tedious but it’s been really fun seeing them in the overworld, though the picnic mechanic is quite sluggish.

I hope going forward it can remain accessible, and though I understand some longer term hunters are not too pleased with how quick it can be.

Got lucky with a shiny Marill in silver today!
83rd egg!

Gen. 4 is next in the list!

Swords of Justice trio I’ve caught heh

Shiny Virizion!! (~600-700 resets)

Shiny Cobalion!! (~100 resets)

Shiny Terrakion!! (~50 resets) and now my Swords of Justice shiny trio is completed in SwSh

[Charizard1020]

Resetting on and off for the past two months. Hopefully I get it before the 8k odds

[negi980]

I was breeding shinies in SwSh. Breeding in SV is easier, but the picnic somehow takes longer. I mostly just hunt wild shinies with Sandwiches on SV.

Just stumbled across my first full odds shiny in HeartGold, after all these years!

Only leaves Diamond out of the Gen 4 games where I still haven’t stumbled on at least one full odds shiny.
