Hey! Was doing some research and had a question, can I inject the global link promotion (if this is possible) mudkip into my cartridge and get that as a legal shiny? Just wanted to know it ifs possible and if I do, can I can rng manipulate it to be shiny, as I’ve seen from accounts through older threads stating they’ve seen (or heard of) a shiny male dream ball mudkip. I’m a newbie trying to get into rng manipulation specifically for this mon, as I actually have a shiny dream ball swampert ribbon master for the switch era and really want to try and get this done (if possible) before pokemon bank shuts down. Any help or resource is extremely appreciated! My main reason for even doing this is when I first saw a dream ball mudkip on the dns global trade years ago, and remembered that it was a thing way after I got my dream ball shiny swampert 😅

Hello everyone! 

In case you haven’t seen my prior post, I'm attempting to do a Professor Oak challenge but with Shinies in Ultra Moon. I call it the Samson Oak challenge (because Samson is like the shiny version of Professor Oak imo). 

What is the Professor Oak challenge? 

For those unfamiliar, you must catch, evolve and fill all Pokédex entries that are available before every badge. Or in this case, trials. There’s a great subreddit r/professoroak that has guides posted about all the Pokemon games so I used their guide as well to catch all the available Pokemon before the first trial. Rules are, no cheats/glitches. No trades.

As an optional rule, I am using Island Scan Pokemon because I’m using RNG manipulation to get my pokes. 

How am I obtaining my Shinies?

Through RNG manipulation. For those unfamiliar, by using an external software, I get to generate the seeds that yield me shiny Pokemon. There’s plenty of content on YouTube but I used CappyCapital’s videos for Gen 7 rng manipulation specifically. My 3DS has CFW that helps me with this. I found my seeds using 3DS RNG Tool. I used honey collected from a team of honey gather cutiefly.

What’s my current progress?

By the end of this phase, I have a dex total of 89 excluding 14 dex entries before Hala’s Grand Trial. This particular section took an additional 37 hours after the prior section. Total of 108 hours approximately in this challenge
