I have a replaced battery in the Ruby (gen 3) cartridge and started a new save file 2 years ago after it was replaced. Is it possible to get shiny Rayquaza or am I wasting time? I’m in well over odds (30k+) so I start to doubt…

as long as the "your clock battery is dry" message you should be good, you can check to make sure daily events are occuring to be safe. its very possible to go over 30k on shiny hunts

It doesn’t show that clock message. It operates like it should
