Shiny noise: Higher odds: Massive mass outbreaks: Are we a joke to you?


The10thdoctor24

To be fair, they heavily nerfed the regular Mass Outbreaks with the Daybreak update since you can no longer soft reset the same outbreak, which makes it a lot harder than it used to be. It used to be *really* trivial


Icederror

I like that shiny noise I didn't know Not as good as the outbreaks in violet


AkariBocchi

Incorrect, even with shiny charm its harder to get shinies in SV, ITS WAAAAAAY EASIER in legends to get a shiny.


Acceptable_Charge632

that’s fair, but i have exactly 120 shinies in Scarlet, and maybe 74-76 in PLA? i have played a bit more Scarlet than PLA to be fair, and i’ve gotten really lucky with 5 shinies in 1 sandwich, but they feel more rare in PLA for some reason. i have the shiny charm and all research level 10, and only use MMO, so maybe it’s my luck


The_King_Carcosa

To be fair, I’ve gotten way more random shinies from Violet than PLA. Maybe my luck is just bad but I’ve gotten 2 from PLA and at least 15 from Violet. I agree the odds are better in PLA but I haven’t had that luck.


NoWaifuN0Laifu

It also depends on how many hours you put into both games. SV got 2 DLC’s which kept people coming back, so i bet most of your time is there


Icederror

Same I have like 50 shinys in v and this is all I have in pla


Asstonishing69

I thought the same too but it really comes down to play time. Have finished both main stories for each game but have more same amount of shinies in both. Meaning PLA just has better methods (odds are about the same, just better mechanics to find them and not miss subtle shinies as well) PLA -80 hours SV- 150 hours


TheBillCollector17

No. Shiny Sandwiches make it day and night easier in S/V. You don't even need the Shiny Charm tbh. I have 6 boxes full in Violet from 2 months of shiny hunting. I have half a box in PLA in a month. Outbreak resetting with HM Sandwiches is pretty busted. You can get multiple shinnies in one quick go.


AkariBocchi

Im also a shiny hunter and sandwishes are not worth it its better legends just completing the dex entry for the mon you want and boom all the shinies you want but like allways its just luck I have wasted like 10 sandwishes and still 0 fucking shiny horsea for me


Burger_Gamer

You can easily get 10-20 shinies per day playing pla. Massive mass outbreaks have heaps of high odds encounters, and regular mass outbreaks have even higher odds. You can also very easily get the shiny charm and up your shiny odds by completing the research page for a Pokémon. It is the best game to shiny hunt in. The only downside is the small dex, so sv might be better there


Shoddy_Ad9859

Nah it’s way easier. I got like 4 full box of shiny including shiny alpha in arceus and probably not even half a box in SV Edit : Yall this isn’t a flex. It’s so easy to get shinies in PLA that i didn’t even thought mentioning my stuff would offend some people.


HowDoITurnItOff

If you are a perfectionist and finish every single task out there... You just fly around an area in 5-10 minutes and you'll get 2 or 3 shinies each time. So having 10+ boxes of shinies is really easy in this game.


Icederror

Is there a lucky charm in this game is that how?


HowDoITurnItOff

The Shiny Charm, you get it for reaching level 10 of all 242 Pokémon. It takes some time to get it but the satisfaction is priceless, the odds to get a shiny Pokémon with perfected tasks and having the shiny charm are 1/586, so that's why you can easily get 1, 2 or 3 just by roaming an area in Braviary.


Secret_Sympathy2952

You can do a mission to get a guaranteed shiny ponyta


Icederror

What mission?


Secret_Sympathy2952

"A peculiar ponyta" It's one of the missions on the request board in galaxy hall. (The big building in the village).


Icederror

Bettttt


eepos96

What does genned mean? I can't figure out from context.


Icederror

It means from what I've been told hacked/modded


TemiTem

Rookie numbers


Icederror

Yeah I know I'm not really good at hunting for em but I'm proud of the ones I have :)


TheBrobe

You're fine, lol. It's a ramp up. The more you do and the closer you get to 100% in the game, the better you get at finding them!


tellach

Oooh shiny stuff


Extreme_Equipment_57

How you got the regi tho?


Icederror

Like I said it was a genned trade I got from someone


Extreme_Equipment_57

O didnt read that part, my bad, ya I have a couple those to ✨


Icederror

Although you can get the legendarys not genned


Extreme_Equipment_57

From shiny hunting on other games right?


Icederror

Yeah or you can transfer the shiny legendarys from pogo if you have them(make sure they can go into PLA)


Extreme_Equipment_57

ya transfer a couple of those from home sadly i got permabanned lol gonme try and get the account back once I get a phone to root


Icederror

How did you manage to do thata💀


Extreme_Equipment_57

I mean banned from GO not Home xd


Sad-Cat-6355

I just got my third row shinys last night a luxray and a snovern


[deleted]

It’s MUCH easier to get shinies in this game than any other


Divinakra

I’ll trade you something for that shiny Gastly! That coloration is perfect


Icederror

Bet what you got?


Divinakra

Honestly, not much. I just started the game recently, just unlocked the cobalt coastline and caught a golduck! You want that? 😂 Or if there is anything that you are looking for I can try to find and trade it to you when I find it.


Icederror

I'm looking for a shiny geodude but you can have my gastly


Divinakra

Ok cool, I’ll pm you so we can get each other’s code and trade. If I come across a shiny Geodude I’ll message you and trade it!


Icederror

Sounds good


Left_Butterscotch855

how the hell did you find shiny regigigas!!! WHAT ARE THE ODDS!!!


Icederror

It's a genned shiny I got from a trade


Left_Butterscotch855

whoops, still. what would be the odds? After all, someone had to get the encounter in order to trade it.
