shido-kun I beleave it's set when you watch the TV, so save before you watch it.

LDD's update: Lairon is lvl 100, and Victorybell isn't to far from it. I've gone back to hatching ABSOL eggs in Emerald.

Absol eggs hatched: 9

[shido]

thank you lady darkmoon i am now going to try for latios then XD along with squirtle and torchic

[It's Just Fufu]

LDD, how come u didn't evolve it? Personally, I wouldn't have evolved it either, I think Lairon looks the best also, but why didn't u evolve it?

[D'MoneyBoi]

i would rather have the aggron but thats jus IMO

[Tha Pkmn Prodigy]

yeah, i agree....Aggron does look the best

[Yuscrecio]

I'm sorry again guys... I really didn't mean to. >.<

Agron is a beast! XP

[Tha Pkmn Prodigy]

hmm i caught a shiny zigzagoon before....(it was kinda hard determining whether to catch it or not because i ran into it while i was eating and i didnt pay attention, and colors where hard to see)

[It's Just Fufu]

I have a question? If anyone here is soft resetting for a shiny starter? How often do u soft reset for a new ID? I am just restarting for a new ID each day, but sometimes I wait for two days. Do u guys think I should lengthen my time, like how MM is changing is ID for Treecko every week?

[Akidatheart]

Yuscrecio, I forgive you, I imagine we all do. In this club, we are not trying to impress each other.. in fact, I hesitated to tell about my shiny lati, it just seemed too good to be true.. I had to share it though, with people that would understand my goofy happiness over a few pixels of color on a game screen. We are here to be together and enjoy success (and groan over failure) together.

Thanks again for all the congratulations. I'm currently in my 9th hour of resetting for shiny torchic. (since I started actually counting the hours) Someone who is good with numbers and averages, tell me about how many restarts is that? I can tell you it's quite boring.. shiny hunting is boring. IMO Resetting is the most boring, followed by hatching and then aimless wandering. Shiny FINDING is exciting! It's why we endure the shiny hunt I think. Back to the grind.. :p

[shido]

well depending on how u soft reset for the starter on ruby / sap / em its about 2 or 3 resets a minute and if u do it straight for an hour figure most ppl will do the 2 reset per a minute u prolly reset 1080 times now for torchic XD

as far as mm's id theory it makes sense to a point i mean figure u can get a shiny on ANY id well lets says mm resets and gets a new id then on his first try he gets shiny treeko and then with that same file plays upto max time 999 hours its still quite possable that he wouldnt get anymore shinies besids that starter becuz it is so random but thats jus my opion , i mean there does seem to be some sort of connection between ids and shinnies seeing how most shinnies are within a cetain id number range (that i have caught its been 20000 sumn thru 30000 sumn ) but then again it could all jus be plain ol luck


speaking of which its been a frilling hour and no dang latios shown up in my game , im lookin thru the swablu and zangoose patch is that a bad place to find latios or sumn?

[It's Just Fufu]

If u have a separate game that has Latios/Latias on it, trade it to your current game before u beat the E4(u can trade it after, but I trade it before becuz I want to shiny hunt for it, and I don't want the game to save at the wrong moment) and u should be able to track it as soon as u watch the TV program. I haven't actually tried this, but I think this works.

And I answered my own question, I will reset for a new ID every week, and I will soft reset for at least 4 hours a day.

Edit: I am doing 25 more soft resets for charmander, and then I will play some other game. I have already soft reset for 4 hours, but I just want to do a couple more just to be safe.

[Tha Pkmn Prodigy]

can you get a shiny anorith just by cutting the game on and off until the fosil guy gives you one?

[shido]

yup same thing as soft resetting jus soft resetting is faster

[ryan]

Yea - I was doing that for a while to get an Aerodactyl. I never finished that hunt; I decided that a Tauros would be more fun.

[Tha Pkmn Prodigy]

whew, i thought i was doing it wrong lol

[King Kobra]

Still no luck with Treecko, but I haven't been trying too hard lately...

P.S. Going to Disneyland again tomorrow so I porbably wont have Shiny Hunting time there...



<I>Kobra<I>

[shido]

nope soft resetting just shaves off like maybe 3 or 4 seconds off yer restart time may not seem like alot but after hours of resets that few seconds seem worth the troublesome sr

btw NOW BEGINS HOUR 4 of my latios hunt forget trying to even get it shiny i cant find it period !!!! lol seriously where the h377 is that dang thing

[D'MoneyBoi]

im still looking for both shiny whismer...EV training...or shiny castform....just keep going to weather ...place... its gettin tedious...dnt kno how u guys do it...

[shido]

its really easy D all u have to do is think to yourself I SWEAR ITLL ALL BE WORTH IT WHEN I HAVE THAT SHINY IT WIL IT WILL IT WILL thats or jus listen to music or watch tv while u hunt XD

i think this is hour five and yet .hmmmmmmm NO LATIOS omg i think the latios in my game doesnt exist seriously five hours and havent even SEEN IT ONCE i think maybe i should forget latios sheesh jus finding it is a hunt in a half i can imagine reseting to get it shiny

Thank you Akida! I really am sorry, I just didn't want to look like an idiot with only one shiny caught. >.< Sorry again, and I'll behave like a good boy!

BTW... are you really 40? O.o

Yep, I'm really 40. My daughter is almost 21. We both love pokemon. I get some strange looks sometimes but my gba goes everywhere I go. Btw, there is no shame in having only one shiny. I only had one shiny until a few weeks ago. Some people have no shinies yet. The only real requirement for the SHC is to promise to search for shiny pokemon. (At least I am pretty sure it is.) Back to resetting for shiny torchic!
