I was going to post a few days ago, but I wanted to clear something up with Landorus first. It looks like he's been afflicted with the
Curse of the Owner, though
, and if he doesn't post within the next 5 years, I'm going to seize control of the club and push through my secret agenda that he keeps on vetoing.
I've been hunting mostly Johto starters and doing some non-shiny hunting activities, so I'm only up to 1935 Palkia.
can i join i have a shiny darkra dexos raqava reasream and grainta
i have made a legend club if any one would like to join
Sure, you can join, but I'm afraid I have to give you a strike. Off-topic posts are fine to an extent, especially if they're to help make the club more active or to continue discussions hinted at in previous posts. However, your second post there was just an advertisement. It would've been fine if you posted something like "I'm SRing for a shiny Palkia, and I'm at 1923 SRs. Speaking of legends, I made a club if anyone wants to join," but your post didn't really mention shiny hunting at all.
Also, what was the 4th shiny you listed? I can't tell what you were trying to say, but I sure hope it isn't Reshiram...
G-Money, your math is wrong. For your math to be right, you must not give up a hunt ever, and you must also not count any shinies until you've completed any hunts you were doing concurrently with them.
Imagine the scenario: You attempt to Masuda breed for a given species. If you don't get it within 500 eggs, you switch to another species. This means the number of tries from each of your successes will never exceed 500.
Count the number of eggs you've hatched on all your 5th-gen games, add them together, divide by the number of shinies you've hatched. That's your experimental mean.
Thanks! I knew that the lack of unsuccessful hunts would skew the numbers a bit, but I wasn't sure by how much. Do you think there are that many unsuccessful hunts where the numbers would shift ~700 eggs?
Latios Master, you better get that Litwick soon! You're making my math look bad. :pink_tongue:
Congrats, Fufu! You're getting shinies at a pretty fast pace - it's tough for me to keep up! Slow down so I can gain some ground, "lol."
The only shiny Pokemon I ever got was a blue Unown H. I was trying to get all the different Unowns in my Heartgold, but then I encountered this, I already had an Unown H but I knew I had to get this. So I threw about 50 Reg pokeballs because I did not have false swipe at the time and did not want to risk attacking it so yea I threw pokeballs lol.
EDIT: Oh yea I just remembered, I have a red gyarados from I think Heartgold or something. Idk maybe my diamond.
Welcome to the club!
Congrats! You deserved a shiny, and one with a perfect IV at that!
rayquaza- just becuase ive gotten to it now in emerald
I would suggest going after Rayquaza in HG/SS if you can; Emerald has a broken RNG, so you'll just keep getting the same set of non-shiny Pokemon over and over if you plan on SRing. You could try having each SR a different amount of time, since I think the RNG has something to do with how long the game has been on. Still, I wouldn't take my chances with Emerald, since there's a chance that you don't find a shiny in hundreds of thousands of encounters! :o
sadly, Ive been in a dry spell catching shinies, but Ive got 4 recently from events, the Pikachu-Colored Pichu, and the 3 legendary dogs to catch Zoroark.
Oh wait, this is a new club? ok, guess I'll have to re-register, and I'll haul across my list from the old one... wait, it's gone? oh crap, I can't even remember what I caught... let's see what I remember.

Welcome back! We don't count GenII Pokemon for the Dex either, but you're more than welcome to hunt them if you want. ;) Is your Gyarados the Lake of Rage one or did you find it while surfing? (same goes for Uade)
I like the consistency between your introductory posts, "lol." The old club is still around, but it's locked for new posting:
