  • Did you soft reset for Starters, Legendaries etc. so far? If so, did you succeed?

    As for myself, 100 SR's and still counting for a Totodile. It's annoying, but in the end I know it'll be worth it.

    So far I have SR'd for Lugia, Zapdos, Suicune, and Moltres. All are timid natured with Moltres as my only acception (its modest), and have 25+ in key stats.

  • I SRed in an attempt to get a female Cyndaqul. After no success and extreme frustration I just stuck with a male one.

  • I SRed my Cyndaquil for a Timid nature, just because it's what is best for it. That, and I just catch a lot of copies of stuff until I get something suitable (Modest Mareep, Water Absorb Wooper).

    That competitive battling sure makes you anal about that stuff!

    I SR'ed for a Jolly Male Totodile, and I'm planning to SR for a shiny Lugia after I beat Clair; I might also SR for a shiny Ho-Oh later on, too. I know it'll take a LONG while, but that might give me the shove I need to take a break from Soul Silver and finish Phantom Hourglass. :p

    Question.. is SRing the same as just turning the game off and on?

    If so, I do SR. I did for my starter's nature, and I do it with gift Pokemon to get the nature I want.

  • I'm currently soft-resetting for a Timid Lugia (I actually prefer him non-shiny) and have caught him about a dozen times with no success. Ah well, the Heavy Balls have been working like a charm, so each catch attempt has gone pretty smoothly. I'm on spring break right now, so I'm prepared to settle in and catch him over and over...and over again until it works.

    I'm not going to bother with SRing. I'mma RNG abuse!

    Planning on getting a shiny Suicune at the very least.

  • Ugh, I soft reset my game for a timid, female Cyndaquil, but it always come out as a male with a neutral nature. :[

  • I'll usually SR while watching TV so it doesn't seem so horribly tedious. Although, I've never successfully accomplished a shiny. I'm not competitive in Battles so I have yet to try with Natures.

  • I tried to get a Jolly/Adamant male totodile and got it on my second try.
    Tried to get a modest male eevee, but ended up with a timid one. Awesome! saved it, checked again, female. Not what I wanted. I bred about 50 eevees to get a modest one. =A=

  • I might SR for my legendary's natures, and maybe for a shiny Snorlax (but I can safely say now that I'll get way too bored of that), and perhaps my starter's nature, but not much else.
