Chat while Shiny Hunting?
 
I figure I'm gonna hate attempting this, but I figured I'd give it a shot since I have Ultra Sun & Moon. I'm pretty much gonna attempt to ShinyLocke myself on Ultra Moon - and attempt to complete the alola pokedex. With only Shinies.

I hate myself.

Here are some rules I made up for myself -
  1. I will only allow myself 2 starting Pokemon from Pokemon Sun. The rest I much catch myself from Pokemon Ultra Moon - and they have to all be Shiny. (including my starter, Rowlett.)
  2. I have to catch every pokemon from each island before moving onto the next. The only exceptions are those who need to be leveled up. (ie, I can't catch Shiny Noivern b/c it levels up at level 48)
  3. I can't catch anything Non-Shiny. (apart from the Ultra Beasts and Tapu's I *need* to complete the Pokedex.)
  4. I can't breed for Shinies.
  5. Each shiny on my team has 3 lives. If they faint more than three times, I have to remove them from my team. Even if I have no other shiny to replace it.

yaaaaaay.

I thought I'd get bored quickly, and wanted to know if anyone wanted to tell me I was going to fail chat while I attempt this challenge? :)

my current team
shiny pikipek - [3/3]
shiny amaura - [3/3]

currently hunting
shiny rowlet

That sounds like a challenge! Don't give up on that idea, but I bet you would get frustrated and may just fennekin it. I admire the dedication! {XD}{XD}

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 6:21 PM

I've been soft resetting for an hour for this shiny. This is why I have both ultra games.
xD

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 6:25 PM

Dude, I have to give you kudos. I am just now trying to fill my poke dex in Pokemon Moon. and I am at 91% there, I just really messed up on those darn fossil pokemon.

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 6:38 PM

eyyyy all it is, is taking one step forward then mashing the a button until you get to see your rowlet, haha. It's obnoxious at worst, tbh.

Which fossil pokemon are you looking for?

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 6:44 PM

just shieldon and its evolution but for some ungodly reason i cannot find surskit or masquerain but I am not gonna go down the whole list. of what I need.

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 6:48 PM

Have you tried GTSing for the Sheildon?

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 6:50 PM

Not yet, I am current trying to get solgaleo from gts

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 7:22 PM

ohhhh. That's cool, too. You have (Ultra?) Moon, I'm guessing?

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 7:25 PM

Sadly I have both, usually when there 'remakes' per say I like to get the other one than what I got the first time but it was sold out.

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 7:56 PM

I know the pain. I ended up getting Ultra Sun from the nintendo store bc I couldn't find it anywhere.

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 7:57 PM

I live in the middle of nowhere so gamestop was my best hope

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 8:29 PM

Yeah, that definitely sucks. If you're still looking for a Solgaleo tomorrow,
I could trade you mine? I don't really use legendaries, and I have other pokemon I'd rather have.

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 8:31 PM

That sounds Awesome! would you like a cosmog? i can have it evolved into a lunala if need be

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 9:03 PM

I have a Lunala, so I'll just take the Cosmog and evolve it into another Solgaleo >:3

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 9:06 PM

or how about i make the deal better by evolving it into a cosmoem

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 9:28 PM

ooo that works for me. It'll have to be around this time (or earlier) tomorrow, though. I'm still soft resetting for my rowlet.

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 9:30 PM

awesome! yea that sounds good! Remember 1 in 4,000 >:D hey it could be worse try getting a shiny in gen 3

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 9:43 PM

At this point, soft resetting is kinda therapeutic ^^:

i've seen one guy get it in just under 500 resets. I'm trying to think positive. xD

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 9:44 PM

im not saying its impossible. xD but that is a higher chance than any of the previous games.

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 9:56 PM

True, true

It's kinda funny, too, because the more I do it, the less attention I pay to the text. And one time I glanced at the text and thought Kukui told me to go *** myself. xD xD xD

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 9:58 PM

well he might have with all the soft resets xD

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 9:59 PM

JUST GIVE ME A SHINY, KUKUI. I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE, I SWEAR.

LunarLavender January 10th, 2018 10:00 PM

if only they talked back....Nevermind I would be in some serious trouble right now. {XD}

Arcan9 January 10th, 2018 10:03 PM

Kukui would be waaaaaay salty if he talked back xD
