a few shinies to report some last week, starting with my 4th member of my white 2 team

also started a soulsilver file and got this guy, which is unfortunately the one starter i already have. it's fine though because i wasn't planning to use my starter anyway

>>current hunt(s)?
Any alpha in the obsidian fieldlands
>>previous hunt?
Finally got a rotom from an outbreak.
Also did a buizel outbreak, didn't get a shiny and wasn't fussed on resetting for it.
Flew away and just down river, random shiny buizel.

>>Are you a 4 checker or a 12 checker? or a whacky little full odds kinda guy?
if its something I want, 12 checker.

>Current Hunt
Chansey via Outbreak resets

>Previous Hunt
Combee via Outbreak resets. Still need a female.

>current hunt(s)?
Treecko in ORAS, up to ~1750. and have phased 5 male Combee in outbreaks so far with no female. The mirelands seem better as it seems to spawn 15 of them btw.
>previous hunt?
I found this alpha Pachi in the first outbreak I checked. first alpha I've got.

Welp that didnt take long. Even got a Shiny Stantler a minute before the Chansey.

Next hunt depends on what outbreak spawns while I'm trying to get that damn Ramanas Combee

i wish the shiny calculator wold give you some rough chances instead of saying "you got 856 eggs until 90 percent" i want motivation dammit

It's always a random alpha that I didn't perfect the dex page for while making checks for the one I did.

>current hunt(s)?
Shiny Regice (hope don't SR by mistake) on Ultra Sun and Milcery in SwSh Dens

>previous hunt?
Successful shiny Registeel after 3 months of SRs, followed by another hit with a shiny Deoxys in GO

No PLA for me yet

I'll add that to my sheet as a second page once I get home then
Er wait, eggs aren't in PLA, they weren't discovered until Prof Elm.

Nevermind.

Well I guess I can at least tell you the math I did.

=1-((1-[shiny rate])^[number of shiny rolls])

For masuda method with shiny charm the rate is 8/4096.
And afaik PLA is the first with reroll mechanics (i.e. can choose the same ID number twice) rather than just generating additional IDs (no duplicates) and choosing the best one, so number of shiny rolls should just be number of eggs hatched.

So for instance after 100 eggs you have a 17.75% chance of at least one.

i forgot to mention i'm a bdspfag

Yeah that should be right then.

=1-((1-[8/4096])^[X])
For cumulative chance by egg number X

That said, doesn't that game have way better shiny methods than egg hatching?

poke radar is a huge fucking headache i can't stand it, i'd rather crush my soul hatching eggs that fuck with the devil radar

did catch a shiny pichu with it last christmas so that was fun

Just picked up Crystal on 3DS outta FOMO.
My shiny goal is to get a ditto for breeding, 5 eevee, Totadile, and the crown jewel shiny celebi.

prey for me.

Got a shiny skrelp and a corphish from chain fishing and a shiny spinda from horde encounter in the last 24 hours. Gen 6 has been really nice to me.

azalea town? we're doing the same hunt but im targeting aipom
