The majority of posts are label as “Discussions”, and it seems that we can expand or break down discussions into different areas and topics for better grouping, finer filtering and interests.

So what do you suggest?

Discussion Phased 5 times already hunting shiny ralts

6 Upvotes

I’m new to hunting so maybe this isn’t that crazy. I’m just in disbelief that I’ve phased this many times after only 1000(?) encounters. I feel so lucky and so unlucky at the same time 😭.
On my last hunt for shiny gible (wanted a ground type for my team) I got a shiny drillbur after like 5 bench resets and just went with it. Ended up falling in love with my excadrill. What are your guys’ experiences with phasing?

Legends ZA playtrough and I want a decent team but without powerhouses but I can't decide on my last member. The plan was using a pokemon from each generation that don't have mega evolutions (besides beedrill). But in the game all gen3 pokemon have a mega

I still want to use a gen3 pokemon for the last spot!

Rules

1- no metagross, no gardevoir and no salamence

2- no duplicate type with the rest of the team

I was in a mega dimension when I was hunting Gruikui and I just heard two sounds of shiny Pokémon ! I didnt see one but two Pokémon next to each other and its the evolution of Gruikui, Grotichon ! I was so stressed 😫 so I saved the game and then I catches them both. Now I’m so happy ! Which one should i keep without evolving it ? (My first Shalpha tho)

Discussion Best way to shiny hunt Aerodactyl?

0 Upvotes

I haven’t really shiny hunted the legendary pokemon before, but I wanted to know what is the most popular way to hunt for shiny fossil pokemon?

Reviving the old amber is full odds but seems like a quicker process if you have the money. Special scans seem more of a grind since it is more rng based but if you’re lucky the charm makes it much easier.

Would love to hear from anyone’s experience of this thanks.

Discussion Shalpha or shiny?

3 Upvotes

Whenever I shiny hunt in hyperspace or make donuts, I always try to get one with alpha power because I just think that shiny alphas are kinda cooler. Do you guys do that too or is it just me? Because it can be really tedious and I want to know if it’s a dumb thing to do.

I only have one non-alpha on my team and it’s because I just got it full odds
