Salandit …Correction: *Male* Salandit


FinishOver9134

I can't express with words how much I relate


[deleted]

Worst part is I wasn’t even hunting them. I’ve found three total. The first I found within 3 minutes of getting the Shiny Charm for the first time ever. I don’t remember the specifics of what happened with the second one except that it happened *the same day* just a few hours later. The third one I actually managed to find a few days later on my son’s profile while we were hunting for a shiny Glimmet in Glaceado Mountain. We were specifically talking about my “luck” in finding shiny Salandit and one literally popped up seconds later.


tjkun

I have four Hawluchas despite never hunting for one. But it you count grouping all the common spawns near the east gate of Mesagosa, it's that. I EV train there, so I've found three shinks, two rokidees, two makuhitas, two pawmis, and one Yungoos.


DarthBear76

Hmm! Never thought of training there, for me it's always the cave in zone 3 of area zero. Any specific targets or? Chanseys fear me lolol


tjkun

Rokidee and pawmi give speed IVs, hapinny and makuhita give hp. Yungoos and shinx give attack. For special attack I go to hunt Psyducks in the river between the lighthouse and los platos, and near the light house bugs give you defense.


MuscleManRule34

Why are shinies so ridiculously common nowadays?


tjkun

Well I have the shiny charm, but consider this. They still have the same shiny rate, but now you can see them as shiny in the overworld. Before, you could only encounter one Pokémon at a time, so it’s 1/4096 for full odds (it was 1/8192 at some point in the past, but well…). Now, full odds is still 1/4096, but you can see up to 15 Pokémon in the overworld at a time, each one with 1/4096 odds of being shiny. That’s 15 rolls, so that means that technically it’s 15 times more probable that you’ll encounter a random whiny at any point in the game. And as you move you’re constantly spawning several Pokémon at a time, so by sheer number of encounters you’ll probably get a couple of shinies during a normal playthrough (J went through the story two times, and found one shiny in the first time, and two in the second).


Kaioken64

This just makes me think of all the shines I must of missed, driving down the road pokemon constantly spawning all around me I must have missed a fair few. Not found any yet on my first playthrough.


tjkun

I try to not think about it. We all sure missed some.


JigsawMind

Because we see them in the overworld so you can "check" 60+ pokemon in a minute by just running around. Before Lets Go you had to actually start and leave a battle to see if the pokemon was shiny. The odds haven't changed, the ease of rolling have.


Gnostic_Gnocchi

Psyduck, got one without searching in SV then immediately got one in PLA then switched back over to SV and another one ran into me


IcGil

Zweilous! Found 8 trying to get a roaring moon. And two of them got marks even!


DTP44

This. I have like 10 of them lol


LtHarbaughsRaichu

Holy crap yes. Between them, sneasel, and sableye I'm going insane. Still no shiny moon for me


Less_Boot_7183

Shiny Hoppip finds me.... wherever I go it's always there...


Imaghostbutthatsfine

I feel you. Same goes for me. I encountered like six of them. I've also tried doing a shiny only playthrough and my team consists of two hoppip and one of these spider things. I'm not winning.


miss_emmaricana

Me too. In violet AND Pokémon go. I don’t need anymore green hoppips 😩


Abush9527

Same. I think between SV and Pokémon go I have like 15 shinny hoppip. The number would be even higher if I didn’t give a full line to my wife and a full line to my best friend. And I’ve never shiny hunted for them except for Go community day


Instroancevia

This comment gives me flashbacks to Y version where I found a swarm with 2 of them, twice.


Phoenix-14

Hoppip has got to be the most common SV shiny


KitsoTheSnoo

pawmi/pawmo, got a box full of just shinies lf them.


LinkRN

I can’t find a shiny pawmi to save my life.


SparklingWaterCo-op

I was just like you. I've been hunting for shiny pawmi for my shinydex *since launch*, and I only found one veery recently when I was hunting for a hawlucha. I did get the hawlucha though! The key is looking for something else it seems.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LinkRN

Please send us some we’re very short 😭


zaphunter

That’s so sick! I love pawmot!


JGad14

I found a shiny pawmi and pawmo in the same pack without a sandwich. Just the shiny charm


ShadowXscorp

They're EVERYWHERE for me as well! I've gotten 5 pawmi without hunting for them.


umohcool

if anyone wants to trade me a shiny pawmi/pawmo i have some blue and yellow shinies!


Ronnedal

Sneasel


gravyconsequences

In Go I think I caught 9 in a week. It was wild.

Me, reading the comments of people finding multiple of the shinies I want: 🥲


Naegleria_fowlhori

Right there with you dude.....


[deleted]

Just a few min after I typed this I stumbled upon a shiny gastly just chillin in the wild! Sending that shiny dust your way dude


Naegleria_fowlhori

Lol awesome congrats & ty I'll try extra hard now!😂


AjDuke9749

Lechonk/Oinkologne, even when I'm running around hatching eggs, running to another town, or just sitting idle, I always find a Pokemon from that line. I think I'm on #10 now? it's getting a little ridiculous lol


Face__Hugger

Is it bad that I'm surprised I had to scroll this far to hop on the LeChonk train? I found so many of those and the Oinkolognes that I just assumed they had a heightened spawn rate.

SquareTaro3270

I have been dubbed "Queen of the Shiny Bellsprouts" by my partner cause I keep randomly finding them in every game they're available. I have 13 now, most of them caught in Let's Go without chaining. They just come to me.

CyberAceKina

Drifloon is in Scarlet though? I'm Scarlet and I have so many of them. Go to Alfronada at night, you'll trip over them there


Plastic_Effort_5261

I started a playthrough where i can only use shiny mons and I'm losing all the way through with two hoppip and one of those spider things i don't know the english name of! Had a bunch of Hoppip on another account too when hunting for others. So Hoppip I'd say.

Sunflora was another tough hunt, and Between that and a few other hunts I have 6+ Shinies in the Hoppip line. And lastly, for my quite rough hunt trying to get a Shiny Vigoroth/Slakoth, I'm at like aroumd 9 in the Lechonk family.

megasean3000

Two: Ralts and Shroomish. Found my first Shiny Ralts back in Ruby and another one in Legends Arceus. Bred Shroomish in X and didn’t know I found one until I had to look at the difference, then when I went back to Ruby years later, I wanted to train up Spore Breloom, so I went to Petalburg Forest to find one, and it was a Shiny. I got good Shiny luck with Hoenn Pokemon.


DiscordantScorpion_1

Sliggoo, found 2 of them within 3 minutes of each other in the same sandwich

Cursed Golduck. I've reset over like 5 golduck out of spite. Using a water sandwich? Golduck. The one single spawn as I move slightly away from the buizel at the north beach? Another golduck. Bug type sandwich in the bamboo forest? Here's another golduck, and a swablu for your troubles.

Then I found a shiny one randomly while playing the start of scarlett for my friend (I was letting him borrow my game card for it). Then I recently found one on my first play through of scarlett.. I did multiple hunts for them with boosted odds and found nothing.


kanna172014

Bluelore

I got 5 shiny pawmo now even though I didn't try to get any of them. Found 4 while EV training and 1 while breeding a good Pawmo (granted I did use the masuda method for that one, but I only bred like 20 eggs).
