Do you want to know why I have 1500 hours in sword and shield? About 300 of them were spent on a white green Zygarde😢, consider yourself a chosen one. You just avoided the hardest shiny hunt😅. Please name him something like the chosen one ❤
"Dynamax Adventures is the easiest way to get shinies" Yeah, but only if you have Nintendo Online. Otherwise, you're completely at the mercy of the most braindead Companion AI in existence...
...unless if they have two helping hand mons that help you when you are about to launch an attack that does 4X damage to the legendary I was about to use high horsepower with my dugtrio against Nihilego (I'm shiny hunting it), and it one shotted it Sometimes NPCs can be the worst team members ever or the best team members ever.
My third Shiny ever was in XY, a random full-odds Abra just outside the town near the daycare. I threw a Quick Ball, and it broke out. I immediately calculated the odds and found that it should have 100% caught. Meaning I somehow got the Mystery Terrain nonsense. I will never stop mourning
DAs, Easy Shinies? Yes. Boring as hell because it takes like 20 minutes per attempt? Also yes. Naturally, I still need to go back and grab a few of the Legends available from them.
@21eeveevulpix If you can swallow the rage and learn how to optimise it, I'd recommend battle animations off and going off-line if you're serious about getting lots of shiny legends. Unfortunately doing it online just takes so much longer. I'm about one thousand and three hundred DAs in, and Entei and Latias both took 200+ for me. Fortunately, quite easy legends even the dogshite AI found hard to trash. Sometimes if it's a difficult legend tho you'll have to save up ore and just find a good, quick, reliable path - for Zygarde say, a couple ice types and a wide guard spammer. I was blessed to get mine in like, six once I started resetting (and in a Friend Ball!!) and total, over every time I'd fought it, I had only 12 successful attempts against it. FOURTEEN fails. Arceus I'm so relieved he came quick I've got a spreadsheet keeping track of all my DAs and I'm taking a little break, but I'm like 1300 in 😂 I've got all the Gen 2 and 6 legendaries. I've had legendary runs that came early in 1 (yep, first time ever fighting Groudon) up to again, the 200s. I once saw a soul with charm going over i think 400 for Tapu Lele... I'm scared 😅
Me: Accidentally Masuda methods a Shiny Larvitar in 6 eggs while actually trying to get a competitive VGC ready one in Sword(Transfer a Larvitar from Shield) Also me: Has not got a shiny even once in Dynamax Adventures. What are the odds again?
X and Y was, coincidentally, the first game (Y specifically) that I got a shiny Litleo in the grass next to the first gym- wasn’t even looking for it, just found it while looking for a Riolu (had a friend who LOVED lucario so was looking for a female one to add to my team, was unaware that you get one in game lmao). Then my Y file decided to corrupt because of the Luminous City glitch and I lost her (the female Litleo a dumb kid me decided to name Shiny) 😔
Why is the thumbnail different? When i first saw it, all i saw was mac and zygarde in the background... But when i clicked on it, i briefly saw a completely different thumbnail.
I feel the pain of doing DA's. It can take forever sometimes. My last shiny legendary was Palkia and that was a few months ago. Congrats on all the shinies!
