soft reseting?
 
i'm soft reseting for a shiny starter so I can migrate him. when I do this and I click a on the ball does the little circle that pops up shiny? or do I actually have to start the battle.

Random August 5th, 2007 2:33 PM

I dont think so really, i think you have to wait for the battle to see if its shiny or not, is this for R/S/E?

~Mithos~ August 5th, 2007 2:34 PM

yah it's for sapphire. dang that'll take even longer.

WarHawk August 5th, 2007 2:45 PM

Yeah you have soft reset about 8000 times and you have to wait until the battle starts.

~Mithos~ August 5th, 2007 2:50 PM

okay, the whole thing only takes like 6 seconds though.

6x8000 = 48000 seconds

48000/60 = 800 mins... wow

and reseting to 8000 is max right?


EDIT: i messed up my math somewhere in there.

Dont forget your going to want to take breaks, so its going to be even longer.

~Mithos~ August 5th, 2007 3:04 PM

i'm not going to do it for that long, probably half an hour at most every 2 or 3 hours... so this'll take a while.

Random August 5th, 2007 3:05 PM

Which shiny starter are trying to head for?

~Mithos~ August 5th, 2007 3:18 PM

treeko, I have a level 36 shiny blaziken and level 37 shiny swampert aiming for a level 38 shiny sceptile to complete the odd collection XD

Random August 5th, 2007 3:40 PM

Oh really? then where did you get those other shinies from?

~Mithos~ August 5th, 2007 3:44 PM

wireless trading fourm ftw.

all with different OT's. this will be the first shiny that I actually got for myself.

Random August 5th, 2007 4:03 PM

Well if you dont really care about getting your own shiny, then why not save the trouble, and ask for shiny Sceptile. I dont think wasting 14 hours of you life is worth it, unless you really dont care.

~Mithos~ August 6th, 2007 4:09 AM

wow... good point. i'll just do it for an hour every other day, its fine.

Xoo August 6th, 2007 4:22 AM

Well good luck with it!:)

~Mithos~ August 6th, 2007 4:28 AM

thanks, I hope I get one soon.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 6th, 2007 7:21 AM

or just cheat, I don't see the point of wasting your time on shines, but good luck hope you get it


:t354:TG

yoshikiller995 August 6th, 2007 8:42 AM

Junt fyi, it can take more then the 8000 trys, i've seen people go well over 10k trys before getting one.

Black Ice August 6th, 2007 11:07 AM

Just because you have a 1/8000-something chance in getting one doesn't mean you'll automatically get it after tryin' 8000 times. No matter how many times you try, you'll still only have a 1/8000 chance of finding one. You can find it early on, or you can find it after 10000 tries. It's just luck, not math.

Oh, and good luck. ;)

~Mithos~ August 6th, 2007 11:11 AM

I know, I was just looking for if It was completely 1/8000 and I got it on the 8000nth one.

Hideki~kun August 6th, 2007 11:14 AM

Oh, and one of the bad things of starter shiny hunting in R/S/E is the wild Poochyena can be shiny, xD

~Mithos~ August 6th, 2007 11:41 AM

yah that already happened to my brother when he was soft reseting for a mudkip, he was so mad at it =D

Random August 6th, 2007 12:08 PM

LOL, wow, that must suck, getting a wild shiny you cant catch. But the actual chances of getting a shiny is 1/8192, and doing it an hour each day, doesn't guarantee that you will get a step closer, its only a matter of luck.

It's Just Fufu August 7th, 2007 10:10 PM

I've already gotten all three hoenn starters shiny by myself.

:D

Shinji_ August 8th, 2007 5:14 AM

Are you sure you have to battle? once you get the Pokemon can't you go to your menu and click it to see if it has the litttle star which means its shiny..?

dark_mew August 8th, 2007 7:11 AM
