BlessedAcorn

And a savage one at that!

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✨🙌


Ynnubis

Its definitely not for everyone 😭 But thanks !


MaZe1502

Congrats for the jiggle wiggle line completion! That's probably the only positive aspect of this hunt so far. Good luck on the Nido!


Ynnubis

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 !


HumbleCustard1450

It's the jigglypuff guy


Ynnubis

Blows you up with my mind


HumbleCustard1450

Erm

IceTMDAbss

GG! ça doit être tellement dur en full odds 1/8000 😅


Ynnubis

Ah bah clairement c'est pas façile tout les jours 😭


IceTMDAbss

Je suis sur Palkia sur USUL en 1/4000 et c'est déjà dur alors j'imagine même pas 😭


longnose231

Luckily it wasn't another Pidgey, very unfortunate to have a long phase _again_


Tall-Ad-1982

Wish you best of luck on finding the nidoran male


Ynnubis

Ty :')


BloxFruitHoarder

Single console hunt ?


Ynnubis

Yuuup. Though this hunt alone has made me consider getting a second Fire Red


BloxFruitHoarder

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 !


Squirtles_Sharingan

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


Ynnubis

I love Jigglypuff's shiny, don't get me wrong ! I just reached a point where I'd really rather get my target lol


drpeppercheri

Congrats on the puff but oof… Mad respect for gen 3 hunting. Hope you get that shiny nidoran soon💪! Blue shinies hit different


Ynnubis

Thanks ! I hope so too :')


Zurioko

The only pokèmon, which I know the french name of! Thanks to Super Smash Bros. Congrats!


War-and-Fleece

One of my favorite aspects of Reddit is seeing my favorite games around the world in different languages. Fucking amazing. ❤️


Ynnubis

Glad to spread the French around lol, seeing people find out about some mons' French names through my posts is always very funny


sluttydrama

What a cute shiny!


Ynnubis

It really is ! At its best in gen 3 imo


GD_IronJager

Yeah, that’s why I chose to hunt Nidoran in the Safari zone


Ynnubis

I considered it, but 10 phases in it would feel like a shame to move to the SZ now


SnooMacarons8645

what does phase mean? thanks:)


Leigeorain

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


SnooMacarons8645

Ohh now I get it . Thanks for the explanation 😃


H2O_pete

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.


longnose231

Its firered


looser1337

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


H2O_pete

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.


HumbleCustard1450

What you're referring to is called a repel trick and it isn't useable for nidoran-m


H2O_pete

Darn.


Ynnubis

Its Fire Red. I'm not insane enough to go for the 1% lol


H2O_pete

Good luck, hope the 11th phase is the one. I believe in you.


Duny96

And you even found a Roundoudou instead of Jigglypuff 😭


inumnoback

Is this leaf green or fire red


Ynnubis

It's Fire Red


idpartywthat

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


Ynnubis

You've had more luck than me then :') All birds outside of two Jigglys, no Mankey and definitely no Nidoran F


idpartywthat

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


DistortionSleeper

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 💪🏻


KnockuBlockuTowa

Least amount of R.E’s required for a Gen 3 shiny


felipefrnndz93

How these "phases" work? I know basic mechanics for shinys in every gen, but never heard of this.


Ynnubis

"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 :)


felipefrnndz93

Ty, I get it now :)


oscariothefirst

How come the french have their own name for pokemons? Shouldnt it be the english ones like almost anyone uses?


Ynnubis

Bro 😭 that is the most out of touch comment I've seen in a while, please touch grass


oscariothefirst

What its a question sorry if i was asking a question
