    I know gens 2-5 are going to be the most notorious for being the biggest pain to shiny hunt. But I decided to make a tier list on my end. 1: gen 3 and gen 6 Hoenn, I'm the unluckiest in this region 0 shinies and no pkrs. (This region secretly hates me.), 2: gen 4 johto, I feel like this region hates me less, even though this is 0 shinies and no pkrs. 3: Gen 3 kanto gave me 1 shiny no pkrs. 4: unova, 3 random encounter shinies were found, found pkrs before the shinies without trading. I'm not counting guaranteed shinies. 5: alola, 3 shinies despite shiny odds boosted, pkrs also found before the shiny found without trading. 6: gen 2 Johto, 4 shinies if I'm counting glitch shiny ditto, Squirtle, and tyrogue, found pkrs before finding a shiny. I'm not counting lake of rage Gyarados. 7: sinnoh, despite being my favorite, I only found 9 or 10 shinies, still found pkrs randomly on an unown still without trading. 8: luckiest in gen 6 kalos, found pkrs before the boxes worth of shinies. I know, I should also have boxes of shinies in alola and gen 6 hoenn, but I'm just plain unlucky in these regions. Which cart gave you the worst rng encountering shinies and or pkrs personally in your opinion? Everyone's experience has to be different.

    Odds wise anything pre-gen 6 is the worst, but...

    Gen 2 (If the Crystal VC counts): Just the fixed Lake Of Rage Gyarados, which I personally wouldn't count.
    Gen 3: Shiny Hariyama in Emerald (caught) + Shiny Golduck (Safari Zone fail). Nothing in FRLG.
    Gen 4: Nothing in DPPt. Shiny Magneton and Graveler in HGSS.
    Gen 5: Shiny Foongus in Black. Nothing in B2W2.
    Gen 6: Nothing in XY, but... ORAS Hoenn is actually pretty cracked for shinies if you actually use DexNav to hunt for them. Never found any on a normal playthrough without using it, but I got 15 of them from when I did hunt for some of them using DexNav.
    Gen 7: A shiny Ariados in... Moon? Also shiny hunted all the normal Ultra Wormhole encounter in USUM, which iirc was like a box and a half?
    Gen 8: Like 8 or so wild encounter shinies in SwSh. Nothing in BDSP, but I never tried hunting in it either. For PLA I lost count lol. Couple boxes worth.
    Gen 9: For just wild encounters... also lost count. Multiple boxes, probably more than gen 8 lol
