PokeCommunity is a sad, sad place. So slow, so much downtime, and some of the people, too.
I won't even really post unless I have a new shiny. Therefore, abiding by that rule:
Shiny Larvitar Screen 1
Shiny Larvitar Screen 2 (so a certain someone won't complain. >: |
I've been trying to get this one for a while now. Certainly not as long as elusive Charmander or Magnemite, but for about a week. I got it last/night this morning. I was using the Radar, obviously.
I wasn't intentionally going after this Pokemon until I ran across it catching Phanpies. Then I thought "omg" and then started chaining them. After many chains broken, I finally got it.
But it's a piece of crap. Why do I ALWAYS get crappy shinies?
I traded it to Pearl and Rare Candied it to see what it's stats and IVs are (no save then trade Lar back), and....
Shiny Tyranitar @ Lv. 100
Nature:
HP: 320
Attack: 278
Defense: 203
Sp. Attack: 206
Sp. Defense: 248
Speed: 152
IVs
HP: 10
Attack: 05
Defense: 01
Speed: 25
Sp. Attack: 11
Sp. Def: 21
*sigh* And here I thought I had a titan to go on my shiny team, my only team... It'll still be on it, but .... really... those IVs are .... :(
I'm gonna have to figure out what to do with it. I wanted to post it's stats elsewhere and get a moveset and EV thing, but even this has me puzzled. I wanted to use it in a battle against my friend, but I think I'm just going to focus on my Totodile right now. He's sure to use his shiny rayquaza, so I want to hit it with a 130 (degree) Avalanche. :P
Well, I'm gonna head back out now... congrats everyone. I've been watching MetalMario's success through MSN. LOL yeah that does seem a little scary but man it reminds me of my Charmander search. I say he'll get Dialga around 10, 200. :) If not, 12,000.
Oh, yeah, and I also had my "vibe" when I started that Larvitar chain, and when it came up, I used like 30 max repels and only had 16 in the chain.
Targets:
FR1: On Hold
FR2: On Hold, may go for Drowzee or somethin I dunno.
LG: Charmander
Emerald: Magnemite, (On Hold. Please keep waiting while our operator redirects you.)
Ruby: On Hold
Sapphire: on Hold
Diamond: Budew/Roselia's next.
Pearl: On hold.
I'd like to add a little bit more to the Larvitar thing. I had bought some Abras in the same method as SRing on FR1 to find an Adamant Synchro one. I leveled it up and got it to Diamond as an Alakazam. I thought it might give me a chance of getting an Adamant shiny Larvitar, but it didn't work. However, I got a Modest Abra Synchro earlier, I'm just waiting for my 24 hour period to conclude. Then I will start my search for a shiny Budew or Roselia. Whiever. Cuz I'm a big fan of Roserade (possibly the only grass type I'm real serious about using), and it on my team would take away alot of it's primary weaknesses, such as Ground.
I know I can do it. I can do anything now. That's what I wanted to prove with Larvitar. And I got it (even though it's really, really bad...).
Hopefully my next shiny won't suck so bad in the stats department.
