Art_de_Cat Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Time to kick off shiny hunting for Gen VII. This will be for the new games. To start off with, here is my first shiny in the games. Snorunt named StoneCold! Doc Brown and The Guardian Mew 2 Quote Link to comment
Namevah Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 How long does it often take people to find a shiny? As I noted in another thread, I spent over four hours a few days ago trying to grab a shiny Cubone using the supposedly better SOS method, yet only managed to catch a headache from staring at that small screen. I swore off trying again and went with a regular Cubone. Can't say I'm enthusiastic about giving shiny hunting another go. Quote Link to comment
Blackout Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Nice catch do you have the shiny charm? what method did you use? (if any) @namevah, four hours over the span of a few days doesn't sound like much. I literally just spent like an hour trying to find a Pichu which has a 5% encounter rate so yeah, shinies require *a lot* more time Quote Link to comment
Namevah Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Actually, it was likely closer to six hours in a single night, but point taken. I'm pretty sure I lack the patience for an activity such as this. Quote Link to comment

I like how salazzle had its hand up in the pic. Quote Link to comment

Should be popping up any time now, keep going. @art you're living the dream Quote Link to comment

The Guardian Mew Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 There's a huge pile of KO'd Vulpix laying near Tapu Village, but I finally did it! I would say about 3-4 hours of SOS chaining and well over 200 Pokemon chained. Yellow, ArmoredFrog, Doc Brown and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment
CCH Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 My first successful Shiny Hunt. This SOS method works far better than previous gens. Doc Brown, The Guardian Mew and Dancing Mog 3 Quote Link to comment

I didn't even bother with regular chaining that much as I sucked at it. Might give it a go this time. Quote Link to comment

Just make sure your chain doesn't struggle out, and you should do fine. ^^ Also, bonus effect, Pokemon from long chains can have a hidden ability, and from what I hear it will have 4 guaranteed perfect IV's.

Dancing Mog Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Once I evolve my Fomantis(unless someone wants to breed me a Rowlett) and teach it False Swipe, i'll be going after Eevee myself and will try to synchronize the nature but that may be harder to do. Quote Link to comment

Yea that should be good. As long as I have Pokemon with attacks that are around 20/35 per or so. Quote Link to comment

From my understanding a Pokemon successfully calling for help is more likely when their HP is low, so I've been using false swipe to knock them down to 1 HP... So it's important to occasionally switch up which Pokemon in the chain you keep alive. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment

No luck from it either :\. I have a similar move on Munchlax, Hold Back. So I've been using that to get harder to get Pokemon lately. The Guardian Mew 1 Quote Link to comment
The Albraskan Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Caught my first shiny a few minutes ago. I was trying to look for Slowbros through SOS battles to try and steal a Kings Rock, but found a shiny Slowpoke instead. I'm glad I payed attention to the new shiny sparkle at the beginning, because the only real difference I noticed from a shiny and a normal Slowpoke is the shiny one was a lighter pink. It also has Regenerator, which I think is it's hidden ability. Spoiler Art_de_Cat and Doc Brown 2 Quote Link to comment
