Oh yeah! There's gonna be a Rockruff event starting November 18th through January 10th for ultra sun and moon! This is a very important event if you want the dusk lycanroc! Apparently this event Rockruff is the only way to get it!

well that's annoying
thanks for telling us though!
additional update: everyone is level 55 except Kyanite who's level 49; I have 5 Kanto badges so far (Sabrina almost took two lives!!! Spindrift lived on 10 HP and Bumblebee was just barely still in yellow health)

I've been shiny hunting but RNGesus hates me.
Roughly 800 poochyena on dexnav in alpha.
I think i'm going to commit a poochyena genocide or something before I manage to find one.

Destroy,

Apparently you need 7700 encounters for a 1/100 chance of a shiny and if you go to 9999 which is the most you can do (i think?) it's 1/80.
But with my 800 ish it's a roughly 1/504

I got my shiny Poochyena at a dexnav chain of...I'm thinking 126 but might not be the exact number
(I sent her to Y and evolved her; her name is Bronze)
good luck!
update: so far I have killed Zapdos and Articuno for the experience...worth it (I think they regenerate in HGSS? no big loss if not)

I'm hoping for a female shiny with ice fang because it's the last fang i don't have. No biggie if not though, but if it does work out and rng blesses me I want to name her Frostine.
But i have the absolute worst luck with shinies ever. I've only caught 2 of my own legitimately, and one was bidoof in platinum when i was actually trying for a shiny starly. :^( Funny part of that though I guess is that the shiny bidoof showed up as the chain-breaker. So I was mildly salty, but it was still a shiny. The other one was a gastly, now gengar, in heart gold that I wasn't looking for to begin with.

good luck again! I don't remember if Bronze has anything special
the only other dexnav shiny I have is a Larvesta named Topaz...I was planning to evolve him but...sometimes I'm lazy
I have really good shiny luck but I'm sorry you don't...

I just got the absolute worst trolling move set idea: Toxic, Substitute, Protect, Detect.
Kek.

Even worse: have it hold leftovers.

the drawback is Poison and Steel being immune

Post by Deleted on Aug 11, 2017 19:18:31 GMT -5
True but poison and steel aren't too common types compared to everything else, so idk. I might honestly just do that move set now with a medicham. But now I'm debating if i want to swap one of the protect/detects with endure instead, or just substitute for endure. Hmm.

I have no experience in single battles but in doubles you see a decent amount of Gengar, Salazzle, and Venusaur
also in doubles Substitute > Endure but...don't know about singles
but also keep in mind the 2/3 chance of Protect, Detect, and Endure failing if used after any of them, so that would suggest Substitute would be better?
edit: Protect and Endure have 10 PP; Detect has 5 PP

Oh god im so frickin pissed now i have pokerus. I know its helpful but like gdi leave it to me to get the thing with a 1/20000 chance of happening faster than the 1/500.
I am absolutely livid.

I have Pokérus in a bunch of games, but notably: -I got Pokérus in Diamond (first game) before I found my first shiny (which was on my fifth day of playing) -later, after my team was no longer infected, I caught a wild Rattata in the area that gets unlocked postgame...the Rattata had Pokérus (her name is Lilla and I use her for Cut) -I got Pokérus in SoulSilver the day I bought it (6 days ago)
I believe the 3/65535, but it sure doesn't feel like 3/65535
edit: while chain fishing for the 70% encounter Skrelp in Y, I caught three shiny Horseas first, the first of which had Pokérus

Well i have it in X because someone wonder traded me a gliscor with it, and now, Alpha. I had it my first run in og Ruby, though that was off of a rom.
That being said i know its really easy to get it to spread around after you have it so.
Still, its frustrating when you arent looking for it. I KNEW somethin like this would happen to me lol.

Post by tiger beetle on Aug 11, 2017 22:46:35 GMT -5
yeah...I appreciate Pokérus but it's pretty irritating to get something rarer than what you're looking for
I'm level grinding and kind of hoping to find a shiny out here but I'm not technically shiny hunting

I'm always ambiently hoping for a shiny no matter what lol.

true; I just so rarely grind that it's usually not reasonable
except at the beginning of the game! that would be the worst

new update: Dragonite 70 Ampharos 67 Lugia 66 Feraligatr 65 Nidoqueen 62 Nidoking 61

If anyone wants some Disease™ when I get home I'll post my friend code.
"When I get home" is probably not going to be for another 2-3 hours though.
