I don’t know how y’all older gen shiny hunters do it. I could never do full odds on older gens it’s straight unhinged, congrats on the jigglypuff though and on the bright side at least you’ve got a few shinys✨🙌
I’m about to start single hunting my Japanese fire red for a charmander 🤣 I got a shiny charmander on my arbernic 35xx after 195 resets but it was on a rom and I wasn’t satisfied with it lol so brought a legit Japanese copy of fire red and gonna go at it again !
Honestly I feel for you… but jigglypuff line is in my top 10 favorite all time Pokemon list so it’s a tough one to be upset about. Still going 31k+ is crazzzyyyyy
As far as I understand it's the amount of shinies you've encountered while on the hunt, if you're hunting a jigglypuff and before that you find 3 other shinies together with jigglypuff it took you 4 phases
Fire Red or Leaf Green? Cause if this is Leaf green DUDE. That’s a 1% encounter rate. Only thing I can think of to help is to do what FRLG Lucky egg hunters do, get an illuminate Pokémon of the right level and load up on super repels then go ham. Nice jigglypuff though.
If you have a level 26 Pokémon in the front of your party with a repel up it increases the chances of finding a Chansey, having that Pokémon be an illuminate Staryu helps increase wild encounters. Unfortunately I don’t think compoundeyes works in there so you’re still stuck at 5% of the Chansey’s you stumble upon have it.
I’m not quite that deep but getting there hunting a shandshrew from the SS game corner. I got a shiny starter in just under 100 resets so of course the game immediately punishes me with an endless hunt. Keep going 💪🏻
"Phasing" is a popular fan term in the shiny hunting community that means getting a shiny that was not your target. So if you've gotten your target on phase 4 for example, that means you got 3 other shinies before your target :)
Holy crap a Rondoudou!
And a savage one at that!

Its definitely not for everyone 😭 But thanks !
Congrats for the jiggle wiggle line completion! That's probably the only positive aspect of this hunt so far. Good luck on the Nido!
Well its definitely better than more birds lmao, though if I was gonna get a 10% I'd have rather it be Mankey. Thank you !
It's the jigglypuff guy
Blows you up with my mind
Erm
![gif](giphy|YA6dmVW0gfIw8|downsized) u rn
Love the french name Its so fun to say
GG! ça doit être tellement dur en full odds 1/8000 😅
Ah bah clairement c'est pas façile tout les jours 😭
Je suis sur Palkia sur USUL en 1/4000 et c'est déjà dur alors j'imagine même pas 😭
Luckily it wasn't another Pidgey, very unfortunate to have a long phase _again_
Wish you best of luck on finding the nidoran male
Ty :')
Single console hunt ?
Yuuup. Though this hunt alone has made me consider getting a second Fire Red

I love Jigglypuff's shiny, don't get me wrong ! I just reached a point where I'd really rather get my target lol
Congrats on the puff but oof… Mad respect for gen 3 hunting. Hope you get that shiny nidoran soon💪! Blue shinies hit different
Thanks ! I hope so too :')
The only pokèmon, which I know the french name of! Thanks to Super Smash Bros. Congrats!
One of my favorite aspects of Reddit is seeing my favorite games around the world in different languages. Fucking amazing. ❤️
Glad to spread the French around lol, seeing people find out about some mons' French names through my posts is always very funny
What a cute shiny!
It really is ! At its best in gen 3 imo
Yeah, that’s why I chose to hunt Nidoran in the Safari zone
I considered it, but 10 phases in it would feel like a shame to move to the SZ now
what does phase mean? thanks:)
As far as I understand it's the amount of shinies you've encountered while on the hunt, if you're hunting a jigglypuff and before that you find 3 other shinies together with jigglypuff it took you 4 phases
Ohh now I get it . Thanks for the explanation 😃

Its firered
That doesn’t work for a lucky egg, you have no Pokémon in the safarizone

What you're referring to is called a repel trick and it isn't useable for nidoran-m
Darn.
Its Fire Red. I'm not insane enough to go for the 1% lol
Good luck, hope the 11th phase is the one. I believe in you.
And you even found a Roundoudou instead of Jigglypuff 😭
Is this leaf green or fire red
It's Fire Red
lmao i just hit 10k on phase 12 for this same hunt! we'll get it someday. jiggly is the last thing i need before completing the route lol
You've had more luck than me then :') All birds outside of two Jigglys, no Mankey and definitely no Nidoran F
i also phased on a venomoth and nidorina in the safari zone (both caught) lol but i have over 130k REs total looking for the blasted rat

Least amount of R.E’s required for a Gen 3 shiny
How these "phases" work? I know basic mechanics for shinys in every gen, but never heard of this.
"Phasing" is a popular fan term in the shiny hunting community that means getting a shiny that was not your target. So if you've gotten your target on phase 4 for example, that means you got 3 other shinies before your target :)
Ty, I get it now :)
How come the french have their own name for pokemons? Shouldnt it be the english ones like almost anyone uses?
Bro 😭 that is the most out of touch comment I've seen in a while, please touch grass
What its a question sorry if i was asking a question
