I just lost my first randomly encountered shiny ever
Gah!! This is terrible. :'( I wish you the best of luck and hope you can compensate by getting many more shinies soon.
Oh nice my final count was 3 shny and final chain of 44. Finally won something lol. next up the years challenge. going to try for them all. shiny starter in black and white 2.
Congratulations - you are the SHC chaining champion!! I don't think anyone doubts you, but the rules say that you need to post pictures of the pedestal with chaining records as well as your shinies from the chain. Sorry to make you go through the work of photographing them, but I think it's only fair.
I have a question for those who RE in 3rd or 4th gen: how do you count the encounters that you do? I know the trainer card counts them in 5th gen but I don't get how people keep track without it.
I use a calculator, start with my number of encounters (originally 0), and then enter ANS + 1. Then I just hit enter after each encounter. If I'm dual hunting, I use the computer's calculator that comes free with Windows and do the same thing. With that one, you can either click the = button or hit Enter on your keyboard. When hatching eggs, I suppose that you would input ANS + 5 into the calculator and just hit it once every batch of hatchlings is released/deposited.
Another way is to count by PP, although this requires your Pokemon to be at a high enough level where it can one-hit KO and its moves don't miss.
Also, you could count by using the Surskit Method. This works when you're REing in an area where one Pokemon is significantly rare - for example, there is an area in R/S where Surskit appears, on average, once every 128 encounters. Just count the number of Surskit you see and you'll have a rough estimate that becomes increasingly accurate as your sample size increases.
I don't even like Gurdurr why on earth did a shiny of it randomly appear ;_;
SHINIES ARE ALWAYS GOOD NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT ANY SHINY EVER NOT EVEN GARCHOMP
Welcome back! You deserve more luck than the rest of us combined, so don't feel bad if you want to tap into our reserve supplies of luck and take some for yourself! :laugh:
Well... I'm home from my vacation... And I brought home some souvenirs!
Congratulations!! You have the highest overall chain at 47, but you did it on May 2nd, "lol." If it was one day earlier you would've won the contest!!!
