Shido: How long do you actually hunt? getting two shinys so quicky is a great feat, if only that would happent to me D:
*goes to hunt*
Tonight I bring a tale of my misfortune, last night as I sat down to hunt I discovered my DS' top screen had pretty much broken, with a split inside the screen causing most of the screen to be covered in darkness D:
Tell me about it shido. I've had worse, though. If anyone's read my posts on the last page, they'll know what I'm referring to. Although I just caught a Kangaskhan there I still hate the Safari Zone.
As for the Hitmon hunt, no luck so far.
EDIT: After the unfortunate incident at the Safari Zone I have decided to aquire a shiny member of the Dragonite family. Later I thought that going after Miror B's Dragonite in XD would be the best way. This Dragonite has the move Heal Bell, making it one of the best clerics out there. So I'm gonna SR infront of Miror B and battle him until his Dragonite is shiny. And I have a couple of questions about that:
1) Is the Dragonite's shiny value set after the first encounter or can you kill it and change its value by battling MB again?
2) Is the value preset at any time?
Um, why don't you just soft reset on FR/LG? Anyways, the values SHOULD be set when you first face the Dragonite. Once you face it for the first time, that's the value it will have forever.
I decided to hunt for a shiny Cyndaquil. Wish me luck.
I explained that. I want Miror's Dragonite because it has Heal Bell. Good luck with your Cyndaquil hunt
But having Heal Bell makes it even more one of a kind. I don't have XD though.
Today has been a harrowing tale of shiny hunting. I have spent around 6 hours SHing for Magnemite, SRing for Scyther, and doing double trouble with Charmander, and that can mean only one thing: yes, I got an extra FR today. So even if I have stiff competition, don't count me out at all. I've seen enough Magnemites today that any one now could be shiny. The new FR could open up alot of options, and already has past Charmander. I have an ID of 6 something, and I hardly ever get a 6 in my game IDs (seriously, it's almost always 30#0#. When I first started up my new FR I got that sort of ID and it's the same setup as FR1, and it took 310 hours to find the first shiny. That's not going to happen again.), so I feel lucky with it.
I myself wouldn't try doing 4 at a time. It was almost impossible doing 3 at a time. It just slowed me down and increased the chances of resetting on a shiny, AKA not paying attention. But 2 can be done, and that's what I do if I have the time and games.
Targets:
FR1: Scyther
LG: Charmander
FR2: Charmander
Emerald: Magnemite
Ruby: Holding
Sapphire: Holding
Good luck, I suppose.
well no new shinys i am taking a break from shiny unown to go back to that eevee anyway i gave up on moltres as well because i wanted to beat my game and hunt for mewtwo try and sr for shiny suicune if it will work lol and hunt for shiny unown again while i catch all of them
Sorry but Suicune or any of the Legendary Dogs cant be SR'd in FR/LG as their IVs, shiny value, etc, are set at the beginning of the game when you pick your starter. :( Just like the Latis in R/S/E, their values are set when you watch their TV report.
But all is not lost, as you can SR for the dogs on Pokemon Colusseum. Good luck :)
