this is a bit random but do you have any advice for someone who wants to try shiny hunting? ive always wanted to shiny hunt but idk anything about it and some tutorials are really confusing ;_;

oh i LOVE talking about shiny hunting do not ever worry about bothering me asking about it LOL

i totally get you on the confusing tutorials though! it definitely helps knowing someone who is experienced in it to help you figure out where to begin bc it's a very overwhelming hobby lol (esp if numbers stress you out. pointing to myself bc numbers stress me out)

under the cut bc i anticipate this being an essay

let's start by explaining the concept of full odds shiny hunting. full odds shiny hunting is where you take any measures necessary to keep the odds of a shiny appearing at the base rate.

in generations 1-5, these odds are 1/8192. in gens 6 and on, they are 1/4096.

particularly in the newer generations, the games include different mechanics and minigames where you can increase your shiny odds to as low as 1/100!

full odds shiny hunters do NOT use any of these mechanics to improve shiny odds.

people will hunt for full odds shinies for a variety of reasons. some people prefer it because it makes their shinies feel more special, others just like the journey and experience of finding that super rare shiny in the wild after several months or more of hunting.

a shiny is a shiny though so do not feel bad if you don't like full odds hunting! it's all about the journey finding your shiny, and the worth you assign to it at the end of the day! a full odds shiny is not inherently more valuable than one caught at 1/100 odds. it's about how much YOU cherish and appreciate your shiny catches! :]

a good gateway to full odds hunting at 1/8192 odds is definitely soft resetting for a shiny starter pokemon in heartgold/soulsilver. this is the only pokemon game where you can check if all three pokemon are shiny on the same screen, when you are picking out your starter! since you're essentially getting 3 encounters per soft reset, you have a better chance of finding a shiny starter.

i love hunting for starters bc then you get to play the rest of the game with your shiny too! and in hgss, it follows you around wherever you go :D

a good gateway for 1/4096 full odds hunting is horde encounters in XY/ORAS! catch a pokemon with the move Sweet Scent, then repeatedly have it use the move in tall grass. every time you use it, a horde of 5 pokemon will appear! again, since you're seeing more pokemon, the encounters seriously fly by.

now let's move onto reduced odds hunting!

starting in gen 5, shiny charm was introduced. shiny charm boosts your odds of finding a shiny by 3. (3/8192 or 3/4096) you receive shiny charm by completing your national pokedex in gens 5-6, and the regional pokedex in gens 7+. in bdsp however, you need to complete the national pokedex to get it.

shiny charm does NOT impact certain encounters, such as gift pokemon (the fossils in swsh and type:null in sumo/usum are examples of gift pokemon), dynamax or tera raid dens, traded pokemon and more.

also in bdsp, shiny charm literally only impacts bred pokemon for some reason??? so i don't recommend getting it bc it is a PAIN to receive and does literally nothing

certain methods will also increase your shiny odds as well though! (these will usually stack with shiny charm odds!)

USUM/SUMO:

sos chaining is by far the best and most popular way of shiny hunting for a lot of people. if you've played through those games, you know that wild pokemon can sometimes call for help, summoning another pokemon of their species or evolution line.

basically, if you let them keep calling for help in this manner, the more pokemon that appear, the better your shiny odds. the numbers are slightly different from the original sun/moon and ultra sun/ultra moon and for that reason i somewhat favor usum.

in ultra sun/ultra moon, you can get your odds to 1/315 without shiny charm or 1/273 with shiny charm after achieving a chain of 30 pokemon!

the method behind this one is simple. false swipe the starting pokemon, then use an adrenaline orb. then you just keep knocking out the pokemon that are summoned.

just be sure to either prepare the right team for sos chaining OR periodically replace the pokemon calling for help. bc it WILL run out of pp eventually and struggle to death.

MASUDA METHOD:

masuda method is a shiny hunting method introduced in gen 4! (dppt) it was coded by junichi masuda (hence the name), and has been a mechanic in all games since.

masuda method revolves around breeding pokemon. if you breed pokemon from two different games that were played in two different languages, the odds of a shiny pokemon being bred are increased to 1/683 without shiny charm, and i THINK 1/512 with shiny charm (in gen 6+)

if i bred a vulpix i caught myself in an english speaking game with a vulpix from game played in japanese, this would result in the masuda method lowering my shiny odds.

the most common way to perform this method is by obtaining a foreign ditto though bc ditto can breed with anything! (if you need help getting your hands on one lmk, i have my sources :eyes:)

there are also other methods in newer games, such as mass outbreaks in sv/arceus, chaining in swsh (it sucks tho dont recommend), chain fishing in gens 6+7, dexnav in ORAS, pokeradar in dppt and bdsp and dynamax adventures! (+ SO MANY more)

i think ive already written too much tho so lmk if you have any further question >:D

D'aussi loin que je m'en souvienne j'ai toujours voulu être en couple, je l'ai déjà été mais j'ai toujours voulu l'être même pendant ce temps, c'était pas vrai ce couple là. Je veux désespérément être en couple et ça n'a rien à voir avec mon amour propre parce que je m'aime, peut-être même trop , je veux quelqu'un qui pourra puiser de cette amour pour en faire quelque chose de plus beau. Je veux pouvoir avoir des enfants avec cette homme et leurs dire que j'ai connu leur père dans ma jeunesse et il m'a sauvé de moi même, je veux pouvoir vieillir avec cette homme et puis qu'il me vois comme sa sœur avec le temps.

i am desperately looking for a man to love and who loves me but i am not desperate. I won't get lost looking for him, I'm just looking for that fucking soul mate

Ils étaient trois amis : deux hommes et une femme, qui se retrouvèrent après quelques mois passés sans se voir. Le rendez-vous se passa dans un bar non loin du centre ville de Milan. Après le dîner, il était temps pour eux de se quitter et un des hommes prit la femme dans ses bras en guise d'au revoir, puis la jeune femme se mit à pleurer. Les deux hommes se voulaient rassurants et lui dirent que bientôt ils se reverraient, qu'ils ne fallait pas qu'elle soit triste de les quitter. Mais la femme, amoureuse de l'un d'eux, pensait que cet homme qui venait de la prendre dans ses bras ne voudrait jamais la revoir car il savait l'amour de la jeune femme pour lui et il ne partageait pas son amour pour elle. Finalement les trois amis se quittèrent, mais la jeune femme ne revit jamais plus un de ses deux amis. Son pré-sentiment était alors juste, mais l'ami qui l'avait abandonné était l'autre homme, celui qu'elle ne soupçonnait jamais perdre.  Tandis que celui qu'elle pensait perdre la consolât et lui affirma qu'il resterait son ami pour toujours.
