I wasn't hunting anything intentionally, but I found a shiny Aipom in Legends Arceus last night. I named him Strawberry.

what pokemon is "test"?

Butterfree el forma del Kalos

Should I hunt for Shiny Darkrai/Shaymin/Arceus in BDSP?

>still no shiny Mareanie
Bros... not even my shiny Mawile last week took this much...

show me your play times, shinyfaggots

Soft rests for Darkrai and Arceus, Shaymin you can just run away, go down and leave the area, then go back and reencounter it.

>What are you currently hunting?
Bounsweet
>How are you hunting it?
MM with charm
>Previous successes?
Roselia in SP using Radar after ~12 encounters
>have you hunted in the safari zone/great marsh?
Yes but with no success

>What are you currently hunting?
Ferroseed in Y. Currently up to about 20 boxes.

>How are you hunting it?
MM, but no charm - Little bastard's gonna have egg moves so help me god.

>Previous successes?
I'll alternate other pokemon for a box or two just to break up the monotony. Got a shiny Larvesta in 20 eggs last month. And a quick feet Shroomish before that.

>have you hunted in the safari zone/great marsh?
Have not

All I can say is good luck. Longest hunt I ever did before giving up was 110 boxes in W2 w/ the charm.

3+ months in and still hunting Arceus in BD. With Darkrai and Shaymin to come this could go on forever

If you have to ask the question, the answer was always meant to be "Yes".

bump

How do I not loose my sanity while soft reseting my starter in Ruby? Been at it for months. Took 3 weeks in Sapphire

Treat it kinda like a side project. If I go all in on that kind of hunt I go crazy. Set aside so many resets/hours per day then do something else.

have you got a pooch at least?

Nope :/

I don't know if I should pity you or congratulate you
I got like 9 pooches before I got my treecko

tomorrow I'm gonna begin my quest to nab a shiny female sylveon in bdsp

mr. backlot is gonna put eevee in his garden and i'll chain for eevee with a cute charm male jigglypuff, changing it from a 1 in 8 chance to roughly a 5 in 8 chance to find a lady eevee, absolutely stoked
