[Let's Go] Longest Time Without A Shiny Encounter While Hunting?

    Hey guys!

    I'm curious to see how long people have gone without ANY shiny encounters while shiny hunting. I mean how long have you searched for a specific Pokemon without coming across any other shiny Pokemon before hand?
    I'm asking because I have been shiny hunting on Pokemon Let's Go Eevee with a 34 catch combo + lure, and still often (more often than not) take about 15-30 hours to see ANY shiny while out there, let alone the shiny I want. Others say they find a shiny every 30 mins to 4 hours! Just wanted to hear the other stories folk have : )

  • I have 45(ish) hours game time and have not seen any.
    I spent around 3 hours comboing magikarp and got a combo of 101 and still nothing...

    I have put it on hold for the time being, my focus is to beat one more Master trainer (6 in total) so I can battle RED.

    You've got the right idea by continuing with the game. I've put a stops on the whole game in the rock tunnel so I can build a shiny team, and it's killing me! Good luck! Surely one will come your way soon : )

    I spent about 20 hours actively chaining Drowzee, and a few other hours trying to chain other things (about 30 hours total). No shinies spotted at all so far.

    I had shiny hunted with 35+ combo for 2 hours before getting a shiny psyduck

    I had shiny hunted with 37 combo for 2 hours for a shiny gastly and caught a shiny chansey that showed up instead.

    I had shiny hunted with 100+ combo for shiny Eevee for over five hours and no luck.... urgh

    I had shiny hunted with 15+ combo for shiny poliwag for 2o minutes and a shiny showed up.... it ran.. I got to 50 combo after an hour later and caught a shiny poliwag.

    I still want the gastly, eevee, dratini, and charmander

    Snap, at least you've seen them every couple of hours mostly! Good luck with that eevee!!

    That sucks. I thought my luck was bad. Good luck : ) it'll happen.
