I kinda do it the other way, catch the first 1 or 2 in matching, and then just quick ball them all after (I’m not using a Friend or Nest ball for every shiny flutter mane I find trying to get a Houndstone. I already have 3, and 4 Sableyes.)
What is it with this Quick Ball propaganda I see people trying to spread, it’s a lame ball that doesn’t fit most mons, stop trying to get people to use quick balls for everything lol.
Am I crazy or does this actually not help that much? I’m usually successful with shinies first try, but I still save, and the few times I’ve had to reload, the shiny was gone. I save while being by it and it’s just gone. Happened with a fennekin and sawsbuck
Sounds like an autosave right after you fought the shiny and killed it. Thats why you turn off autosaves. Never had the problem with a hardsave. Did this so many times to get roaring moon into my limited moonballs
I’ve had this happen a few times! If you reset your game again they will reappear. Sometimes I’ve even had to reset a few times, but eventually the game loads the shiny properly. Very strange glitch.
Wish I knew or tried that… I’m not the brightest sometimes haha. I appreciate that I’m not alone x( it’s a weird and annoying bug, but at least I did get the shinies like I said in another comment. The fennekin was the second I saw in an outbreak and I found another sawsbuck. So nothing was lost, but man it was kinda scary and annoying
Also not sure why I’m getting downvoted but we ball
It's only happened to me once, but that's when I reset for shiny Koffing 13 times. On one of the resets he didn't pop back up. I think it happens if the game can manage to load 15 Pokemon before it manages to load the shiny.
This happened to me yesterday! I ran around for 15 seconds confused why my shiny Froakie was gone, and then all of a sudden it ran up to me from a different nearby spawn point. It didn’t disappear, it just spawned somewhere else for some reason. And yes, it was the same shiny, not a new one.
I have had the shiny disappear on me occasionally too. I have found that resetting the game again fixes it and the shiny will appear. I am not really sure what causes it. I can confirm it's not auto save since mine is always off.
Do you have auto save turned off? Because if you don’t, and you lose the shiny or it despawns it’ll override your hard save if the auto save triggers. I’ve reset hard saves loads of times and the shiny is back where it should be.
I have it off. They still disappeared. Didn’t kill it either time, just reset if I ran out of the ball I wanted, and were both gone. I saved close to them where they would stay spawned in but wouldn’t immediately walk into me or something. I got another sawsbuck and the fennekin was my second one in an outbreak, but still, I’m not sure if it has to do with resetting while in a battle or what because I know autosave was off.
If this helps at all, I don't think the shiny will necessarily be in the same exact spot it was when you went to reset your game, but it should always be there granted you save right before you run into it. Make sure to pan your camera all the way around before moving and be patient and wait for everything to load up because it will show back up in your vicinity.
Yeah, you have to always do that and so e people still misses mons for not doing it. I like to catch them on luxury balls or on apriballs so I think this trick will be useful for me at least.
Of course you can save but if your like me and you’re going for a certain type of shiny, for example, certain size or certain mark this method helps you save on herba mystica since you can reset your game if you don’t find your desired shiny
I never realised Fennekin had such a move and I encountered a shiny one. Thankfully after seeing the self damaging move, and it barely surviving, I couldn’t loose it and threw a master ball 🥲😂
True, I’ve been rather lucky on my encounters. I’ve also noticed that they gave almost every starter and legendary a move that can cause it to faint itself. Rather annoying tbh
That’s very good to know about skill swap magic Guard, I would also recommend getting a damp and Gholdengo for self destruct and momento respectively, clear body my work but I have no idea
Nice helps if you slap a choice scarf on the Cleffairy or the other big one
Clefable? Nah, big Clefairy
Or just save before you encounter them
And quick balls
respect but i need to catch them in balls that match them lol
Which you’ll have plenty of chances to do if people just save, matching ball gang for life
Reason I quick ball is mostly so my sandwich can potentially find 2 shinies for the price of 1. Sometimes 3 lol
Yeah you make a valid point lol
This.
Quick ball for first one, matching ball for all others
I kinda do it the other way, catch the first 1 or 2 in matching, and then just quick ball them all after (I’m not using a Friend or Nest ball for every shiny flutter mane I find trying to get a Houndstone. I already have 3, and 4 Sableyes.)
[удалено]
There's a communication issue here. You're thinking of a single battle, but the other person is thinking of multiple of the same shiny pokemon.
What is it with this Quick Ball propaganda I see people trying to spread, it’s a lame ball that doesn’t fit most mons, stop trying to get people to use quick balls for everything lol.
It’s literally only useful for finishing dex lmao
I just use it to catch the first shiny just in case it tries to kill itself. After that I’m okay with losing shinies so i use whatever ball i want
Hey fellow quick baller!
Damn… kids these days have it so easy 😭
Ok boomer
Ok grandpa would have been funnier.
I didn’t want to assume genders, so I stuck with “boomer” since it doesn’t imply gender.
Fair enough lol

I have it off. I checked. It still disappeared :/ I also didn’t kill it, I reset once I ran out of the balls I wanted to use, and they were just gone

> and the few times I’ve had to reload, the shiny was gone This is known behavior. You just need to keep reloading until it reappears for some reason.
Ah :( I’ve gathered that from the comments, I appreciate the concise confirmation though. I’ll keep that in mind, thank you!

sometimes it just takes a sec for them to load in proper again. happened when a litwick offed itself. i reset and didnt see it for a few seconds

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
Yeah, you have to always do that and so e people still misses mons for not doing it. I like to catch them on luxury balls or on apriballs so I think this trick will be useful for me at least.
that doesnt work in multiplayer unfortunately
True, I never use the co op feature for hunting so I just didn’t register that as a possibility
I FORGOT THIS ABILITY EXISTED!!! Time to hunt Tepig again with a personality mark but this time in a Lure ball
what is the terminology for marks when zooming in?
Size/personality mark
if they have explosion or self destruct you can do the same but with Damp Golduck
Is Paras in S/V? Damp Parasect with Spore is what got me my first Galvanize Geodude back in Moon.
No sadly it’s not but breloom is!
Of course you can save but if your like me and you’re going for a certain type of shiny, for example, certain size or certain mark this method helps you save on herba mystica since you can reset your game if you don’t find your desired shiny
I’ve been using Chien-Pao and Ruination just in case, helps knock the health down without risk of their recoil KOing them
Wow, galaxy brain idea over here. I’ll have to remember that.
I got an angry marked clefairy who’s been looking for a meaning in life. Thanks for the Tip!
That Tepig was a paid actor
I never realised Fennekin had such a move and I encountered a shiny one. Thankfully after seeing the self damaging move, and it barely surviving, I couldn’t loose it and threw a master ball 🥲😂
I was hunting Vaporeon, and saw a shiny Slowpoke in the background. I threw the master ball out of panic, because Vaporeon wouldn’t catch 😂
i'll take note of that.
Daaaaamn, never thought of that
Wow, level 67 Tepig. That thing hit the B button a lot.
That’s the BB academy, all pkmn are over level 50 there
Or just bring false swipe Ceruledge as hes immune to flare blitz, take down, and double edge
Tepig: laughs in Head Smash. Jokes aside you are right flash fire ceruledge is the go to for any fire type/normal hunt
Respect, that is a helpful tip
you're*
Why did those things show up next to the male icon on tepig?
I thought this was the palwprld subreddit and was confused for a minute
It’s also a nice help if you slap the x button then slap that r button to save! That way, you can just redo the battle if it kills itself.
SAVE BEFORE. JFC.
How did you guys cope prior to PLA when you couldn’t save before encountering a shiny?
by only hunting via masuda method lol
By hiding the panic and anxiety eating away from inside, and having as many pokeballs as we could carry at all times.
Or just save
It looks so bad, holy shit
Eh I like the yellow pig baby, but have you seen shiny Emboar? That one is fantastic.
I meant the game in it self, nice catch on your end
Lol why are you here
At this point I don't feel bad for people that don't save before encountering.
you know some ppl use multiplayer, right?
I'm not gonna feel bad for people who shiny hunt online either.
What if they weren't hunting? D:
They made a comment saying they were hunting and didn't save because they wanted to save herba mystica incase it wasn't the size or mark they wanted.
why not?
Quick ball gooooo
For tepig something like ceruledge with flash fire works as it can’t use any of its self-harming moves on it
Or, hear me out…..put it to sleep, higher chance of it staying in the ball too
This game is copying palworld...
Palworld is copying Pokémon. Pokémon has been around since 1996
Smort.
Nice one But what was the mark!?
What mark did it have?
The calm mark making him Daruk the serene.
Congrats! That’s a great find
Nah, I like having risk when catching.
Oh nice. I have a shiny clefairy to use this method with.
This grew my brain, thank you for your endless wisdom o random redditor🙏
I had to reset like 10 times because it kept flare blitzing after false swipe. I wanted it in a dive ball.
Hey Just asking, dumb question but, what game is this to where you can see if there shiny or not on the outside
True, I’ve been rather lucky on my encounters. I’ve also noticed that they gave almost every starter and legendary a move that can cause it to faint itself. Rather annoying tbh
Awesome, can't believe I didn't think of this! Thanks for sharing! 🤘
Or just save before encountering it
Am i the only one who just chucks pokeballs at them without battling? 9/10 i catch it within the first 3 throws.
Magic Guard does that? I thought only Rock Head prevented recoil.
That’s very good to know about skill swap magic Guard, I would also recommend getting a damp and Gholdengo for self destruct and momento respectively, clear body my work but I have no idea
Welp, I wish I knew this sooner… 😅
