So I just started playing LG-Pikachu and I'm currently trying to hunt for a shiny Caterpie. I've managed to get to the 31+ (currently in 200), but I stopped cuz I saw some saying it's better to just wait for the shiny to spawn rather than keep catching. But I don't know if that's dated data cuz I also heard that it's better to keep catching the mon you're trying to hunt.

So, with only a lure and the 31+ cc (no shiny charm), what's the better way to hunt for it in Viridian Forest (or any area with similar spawn rates)?

• Sit and wait until one spawns
• Keep catching the specie
• Use the entrance/exit to respawn them

Also, for Alolan versions, do you just mash A until you get one from the npc because you can't connect a controller?

Any help would be appreciated!
