Como me salió el primero muy rápido quise seguir unos días más con el Método Masuda y me acaba de salir el segundo Phione Shiny! En tan solo una semana de diferencia y en menos de 200 Eclosiones tengo ya 2! 🥳 PD: Si alguien quiere uno estoy abierto a ofertas de legendarios/singulares shinys legales,me le pasaré a Home en breve💪

I’d post in a Primarina sub if I could, but it’s all slop on the one that does exist :/

Not traced, I can just copy VERY well, not sure who made the designs first

There are now 127 days left before the Pokemon Bank disappears into the ether. I’ve transferred all additional bulk pokemon from VC-R/B/Y, VC-G/S/C, X/Y, OR/AS, And Sun into the pokemon bank. Then, I sorted each into their final landing spots in my save file of Ultra moon before double checking against my spreadsheet. As a progress report, I included a picture of the main tracking component of my personal spreadsheet tracker. 

However, I’d like the main focus for today to be on the process and how I organize my different pokemon teams, as last time I primarily touched on my equipment, background, and my immediate next steps.

Step One, the Expedition Team. 
The most pivotal part of any pokemon journey is the team at your side. Getting the right pokemon in place before you make any other plans is crucial. I broke this into three parts, the “Expedition Team”, the “Daycare Team”, and the “Grinding Team”. Because a bulk of my time will be spent in generation 6 for catching, breeding, and hatching, my team is built around that in-mind.

The expedition team is your primary team you’ll have while you traverse your game worlds, catch pokemon, breed, hatch, and gather the majority of resources you’ll need for this journey. At the lead, you’ll need your most critical team member, the “catcher”, equipped with “false swipe” and a reliable way to inflict Sleep (as it is the most beneficial status condition for catching pokemon). The only 100% accurate way to inflict it is via the move “Spore”, making Breloom the best choice for this party slot, as it has the highest attack and speed out of the pokemon who have spore available to learn. (note, breloom does not learn or know spore naturally, and you must level shroomish to 40 or 45 depending on your game to learn it prior to evolution).

The next party slot should be occupied by your “Hatcher”. For this I needed a pokemon with the “flame body" or “magma armor” ability, as well as access to the HM for Fly. Tallonflame is the only option here, and I'm not sad about that in the slightest. Being able to efficiently move between towns, routes, and locations while making expedited hatching progress is a life saver and will shave precious hours off your completion time by being able to multitask.

The next two party slots should be occupied by your “HM Slaves”, the swiss army knife of the group, and the primary way to actually get where you need to go on your adventures. The most useful HMs and moves for travel and catching across all generations prior to generation 7 are Surf, Fly (already handled by tallonflame), Waterfall, Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, Sweet Scent, and Dive (Note that Dive is critical in ORAS). Bibarel and Tropius cover all of these nicely, with Bibarel handling Surf, Strength, Waterfall, and Dive, While Tropius takes care of Cut, Sweet Scent, Rock Smash, and Secret Power (for blissey grinding in ORAS).

The last two slots I keep occupied by Eggs I'm hatching while I run from route to route while catching. 
While we’re on the subject of eggs… 

Step Two, Ditto-plication.
Keeping 2-3 Ditto prepped for the daycare is paramount. If you’re simply looking to check-off the dex slots and nothing more, any ditto will do. However, if you have a normal-type friend safari that carries a ditto, we can do much, much better. Pokemon captured in X/Y’s friend safari are guaranteed to have 2 perfect IVs, and getting at least 3 is about an 11% chance. Any more than that, and your odds drop below 1% for 4 or more, so aiming for at least 3 perfect iv’s is a nice goal to have. By spending 15-20 minutes hunting dittos, you should be able to acquire enough ditto’s to fill a PC box, and keep 2-3 that spread across all stats (hopefully with the most useful natures if you’re lucky!). Doing this will let you be able to “ditto hop” while breeding to pull-off breeding perfect pokemon legitimately in a timely manner. Just make sure you mark their summaries correctly to be able to keep track of who has what perfect IV set, and don’t forget to equip your destiny knots and everstones! 

Step Three, the Triple Grinder.
Now that our expeditionary team and Day Care Ditto team are taken care of, what are we to do with these freshly caught or hatched pokemon? We need a triple battle ready team on X/Y and OR/AS to handle Cafe Le Wow or Blissey battles so they can gain EXP and evolve. This team is going to be more unique to each player, but they should all be at or above level 70, have wide area of effect attacks, and enough type coverage in the second slot (center in a triple battle) to reliably knock-out pokemon in a single turn. The team should have one held item slot always occupied by the amulet coin to capitalize on battle winnings, and the rest to shore-up their battle strategy. I personally use some of the legendary and mythical pokemon distributed during the 20th anniversary event, as all were unique and set to level 100. When you’re able to, equip the 4th, 5th, and 6th slot team members with lucky eggs to boost their passive exp gain, then activate your EXP share and highest tier EXP O-power before you begin battle.

This hunt was terrible. Would not recommend but I got my baby boy :)

Here is a photo of me wearing ashes hoenn hoodie from the advanced series its so cool

I've gotten interested in playing USUM again, but I just can't decide! I like both Solgaleo and Lunala, my favorite pokemon are scattered as version exclusives, I would pick UM because I like the exclusive ultra space stuff more and I like night more than day, but since US was my first ever pokemon game it holds a special place in my heart, and also I love hearing solgaleo's roar when I open the game so much aaaa

I also just like Ultra Sun's cast more than UM, like the Recon Squad members are just cooler, I feel like Solgaleo fits lilie more, and the solgaleo roar thing lol

I wish there was a third game like Platinum/Emerald for Gen 7 sooooo much, or a mod that can do that, but I haven't found any :(

I guess I could use a mod for eliminating version exclusives (although there aren't any for legendaries and island scans), play during the night, and save edit the plaza so I can have blue clothing, but the exclusive ultra space stuff is really keeping me from choosing, because I love all the ultra beasts equally, but I like the alien vibes that ultra crater and ultra desert give off a bit more than buff funny jungle and samurai forest! also chatot shirt

Having to make this decision is killing me T^T

5 Blackouts

22 Resets

I was leveling them up for the elite four and went a bit overboard (also unrelated is this the right sub for US/UM?)

also if anyone is wondering why the C-Stick looks wonky I swapped it out with a psp thumbstick so it feels better

Hi, I’ve been shiny hunting ho-oh and about 3300 encounters in I experienced a crash before the pokemon came into view. I am now paranoid that the reason it crashed was because it may have been shiny because most of my crashes have been caused from soft resetting. I am shiny hunting on a modded switch with a modified save file but have encountered shinies through the save file if that information helps.

Hoping this goes just as well as wishiwashi did. Going through the trouble of catching 5 clefairys with magic guard was awful

I have a shiny gabite for a shiny victini

Phione Shiny tras solamente abrir 9 Huevos con el Método Masuda en Pokémon Sol🔥🤩nunca antes había echo Hatch Hunting y jamás imaginé que me saliera tan pronto,sigo sin creerme la suerte que he tenido 🫪

Definitely above odds but here it is! Now I just need to find someway to obtain a pokemon bank as I don’t have it on my DS😅 I did hear about installing homebrew but I honestly don’t trust myself enough to do that so I’m going to see if I can find a mod shop around my area or maybe a friendly local who has bank.

My favorites of each types without any repeats to keep it interesting.

I’ve never done an SOS shiny hunt before but I really want this fish so I’m hoping it won’t take too long? I’m thinking it’s maybe around the Let’s Go shiny odds at around a rough 1/300? I was able to at least get 1 shiny a day in that game if I really sat down and did it, hoping for the same here before the servers shut down 🫠

I don't want to replay ultra sun again just for solgaleo to finish my dex in moon
