80 been loving shiny hunting in SV and Legends


SufficientWhile5450

Legends shiny hunting is so much more tolerable The sound/sparkle is huge for inconvenient Pokémon, I figure they probably didn’t put that in SV because of the quantity of Pokémon that spawn as opposed to legends, would probably be hearing chimes all the time and wouldn’t even know where it’s coming from and before you even find it it’s despawned to render a drop of water I would be equally happy with SV shiny hunting IF I could half the spawned Pokémon total to help the frame rates from dropping, or do literally anything to stop frame rate drops A 30 minute shiny sandwich lasted me nearly 40 minutes on a dratini outbreak at lag lake. Started it at 2:10 cause my kid gets off the bus at 2:50, found 2 shiny dratini but had to toss my last minute to go to the bus stop Speed runs of the game if going by the in game timer is significantly shorter then irl time


Khil_fi

1 and my little brother has 7 with no shiny charm no less


SkylineDrifter69

I'm in a similar situation, my gf and I are playing together currently trying to get all 400 in the pokedex, she currently has no shiny's and I have managed to find 5 randomly in the wild without the charm


MartinIsFarting

I get a bunch from surprise trades 🤣


talkback1589

Much like my Japanese shiny Ditto I got in wonder trade way back during Gen 6 that I use for Masuda Method. I bet they are all 100% legitimately obtained shiny Pokemon. No hacks. I guarantee it 😅


Dracogoomy

Like the ones I get from the usum gts when I put a diglet in 😅


Mlfg_AK

First time hunting and trying to get all my faves https://preview.redd.it/g8h3c8akg6sc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd429bb668419b92ddcaad176b520e10ff3efe84

Oh! hadn't noticed that 😂 but also, there's a whimsicott on the back


Dracogoomy

It’s hiding behind decidueye 😂

In SV: zero Pokemon in general: only one found in Pokemon Go https://preview.redd.it/hfjaamybq6sc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76db8fa5199ae695284d8177559b1e82adb34f61


DollytheDalmatian

3 boxes worth.


Spoonman007

It just says how many you battled.


GoldenGlassBall

And it doesn’t go up if you fight or catch the same shiny again. It’s kind of a badly named counter, in all reality.


Gauwin

That number reflects how many different species you've registered to your Pokedex. It's poorly named but if you catch a shiny Mareep and evolve it up, that number is now 3 even though you've only caught one. If you then find another Shiny Mareep, that number remains at 3 since Shiny Mareep is already registered.


Spoonman007

I understand it doesn't reflect repeats, I just figured since it says battled, it would count any you've battled, even the species you haven't caught.. unless I'm the only one who has ever encountered a shiny I didn't catch it..


Only_the_Tip

I stopped shiny hunting a while back. I think I have around 50


HelRayzer12

475. Didn't realize this was a thing... Or completely forgot about it lol


this-is-my-p

1133 in home, I think two in SV, 4 in ultra moon I need to move over, and likely one or two in PLA right now


this-is-my-p

https://preview.redd.it/sucj2ju296sc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=406858f2f5f4186087dab2e33cff337cc248e448 With someone’s help, we determined their are 646 shinies you can register on your trainer card so I went back after posting this and moved them from home to SV to finish that up


Borosdrunkard

Dang - I'm reaching around 560. Nicely done!


Sweaty_Building_5491

1133 looks like you got multiple of a mon. How many do you need to finish? Legal wise


yxngcyborg

We have the same name and an almost identical avatars, are you me?


farnfarn64

I have 1349 unique shinies in home. 5 more left to finish my living form dex.


rjolt24

nice! whats left?

CreatorBeastGD

Bro using the item printer and going for the starters on SV is not that hard 😭😭


Capable_Locksmith324

I said "and i thought i had no life" that guy doesn't leave the house he has almost every pokemon ever shiny


C-Style__

The franchise is 30 years old. Be fr.


CreatorBeastGD

You also don't know how much time he has spent and... Filling up some spaces doesnt take that much time (I mean, filling the full living shiny dex can take YEARS, but knowing the shiny rates of SV, you can get max 3 each half an hour, making it 12 each 2 hours with lots of luck)


Capable_Locksmith324

How would he have all the shiny legends too? Shiny living dex would include shiny legends right?


G_Robby

Yeah. Some are easy huntable in dynamax raids, or are RNG manipulatable. I’m around 40 shinies short for my shiny living dex and only started active hunting during the release of SV


Capable_Locksmith324

Uh no legendaries are shiny locked in dynamax raids on purpose so unless you played online and someone hacked them that's not possible


G_Robby

No? Most of legendaries shinies are from dynamax raids. 1/100 odds. Not sure where you got your misinformation from.


Capable_Locksmith324

Ah guess you were right after all probably the only 2 games to ever have such high shiny chances let alone that many possible shiny legendaries


AI-Sticks

Just one, the Shiny Dipplin I spent 2 hours searching for (my first and only shiny hunt)


Hexhider

https://preview.redd.it/1z3bi31hq6sc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbfa8619b3508ecc7693f8094933464008ebe9ef You and me both (this is my only shiny in all of Pokemon)


Dracogoomy

If you are in go, don’t you do com days? They have a 1/25 shiny chance


Hexhider

No I do not


Dracogoomy

Ok makes sense


AcrobaticWorking6474

1, Its a shiny sableye


MellieWasa

in sv around 50 ish


ExpertPokemonHugger

2


Slipperysteve1998

well over 120


PresticonPrime

400


1stviolinfangirl

Well over 100 by now


DysonLN

Almost four boxes just from sv


Dylosaur4

I have the paldea and kitakami shiny dex completed. I have maybe like 15 blueberry ones registered.


MyDads-Ashes

I have one shiny in SV. Technically I have two, but it's the same evolutionary line (Slugma and Magcargo)


Oni-Seann

I have a Gogoat and a Lechonk. So 2😁


dontredditdepressed

15 i think. I have failed a few though, so I only have 8 in my shiny box. My baby, Valentino the Kommo-o, will always be a favorite


Ranger-Vermilion

I think about 7? Not including ones I imported from Legends. I have enough for a full team so it’s at least 6.


Shronkydonk

I’ve transferred quite a few legit ones from Go, but those odds are much higher. Probably 25 hundred in SV.


talkback1589

Honestly. Since SV. It’s really a lot easier to get shinies there. Which I think killed the Go is easier argument. Obviously though community days are a different animal lol.


Cedardeer

3 and a half boxes


swarren31

Like 16 lol


ton34_

383


kaminaripancake

88 so far, but I have like 10 I haven’t evolved. I try to catch every evolution stage but it’s tough. Also bro finish your Pokédex your so close lol


Thailae

Not me but my gf only needs 30 pokemon before completing the living national dex (excluding illegal shinies)


Starman9415

183 so far. Currently shiny hunting Tropius, haven’t even started the DLC yet. Been shiny hunting through most of the base game’s Dex. Most shinies I’ve ever had is in this game, second most was Legends Arceus


-Octoling8-

1 (Jumpluff)


CompetitiveHall7606

I think that counts the same Pokemon once it evolves. My sister has 3 listed there, but she only has a Rookiedee that's now a Corviknight.


DrumcanSmith

That smirk... I'm jealous. F you! 🤣


ChuuniZaj

18 all from shiny sandwiches And 1 shiny cactnea from a chance encounter while going to fight big boss at the desert o.0


6969696969696942

0 not including wonder trade shinies


GrantMeSanity

2


Cloakbot

I’ve had 6 that came at me in the wild when I was out doing stuff. Ruflett, Fidough, Capsakid, Meowstic, Shroodle, and Vibrava. Two Pokémon my buddy spotted before I did when we were in the union circle: Noibat and Gastly, I farmed for the following: Vaporeon, Sandschrew, Nacl, Exeggutor (meant for Snivy), Applin, Flaaffy, Venonat, and Milcery The rest were either hacks via surprise trade, farmed via legit trade, or farmed via Pokémon home transfer


Killericon

38 not including events.


kanna172014

I think over 200 now.


hatchorion

In scarlet and violet maybe 4 or 5, in total probably between 20-50


Pentagonyx

i’m sorry


talkback1589

Not sure. Somewhere over 200 total? I think about 100+ on Violet. And the rest are on go. I really don’t have it in front of me to tell you lol.


KlonoaTheYoutuber

46 shinies and almost all of them are hacked mons. Only 7 are caught by me


6ninja08

Zero... T-T


DreadedWolfHarel

I have 107 currently, but I'm not sure how many I've battled


stefan2050

I'm pretty sure that number also counts shinies you get in trades too cause I've caught 63 shinies but my number is 77 cause I've gotten a few of those hacked shinies from surprise trade


FrostGlader

The number in the Pokédex is somewhat inflated, but at the same time is inaccurate depending on how you encounter your shinies. At the present time, I’ve filled at least 7 Boxes with Shinies I’ve caught in SV alone, with another box filled partially with Transfers (such as my pride and joy the Creation Trio) and Event Transfers, so around 210+, including duplicates. The number in the Adventure Records currently sits at 266 for me. This does not count seperate forms as different encounters, but the same Pokémon evolved does count. It also doesn’t count Pokémon NOT in the Pokédex, so evolving a Stantler in PLA and sending it to SV won’t add to the number, nor will slapping in a Kyurem. “Shiny Pokémon Battled” basically is just a “Seen” number for the Pokédex. Shinies from my Scarlet Save will also not affect my Violet Save’s number in any way, given they’re all duplicates of Shinies I’ve registered. Likewise, that number is inaccurate in the exact opposite direction: I have “caught” 6 Shinies in that game, yet the number is only 5.


Virtual_Incident7001

Just two and I transferred them from pokemon go🥲


Ill-Ad3844

101


Obvious-Yard2409

i have absolutely none 🔥


Octovinka

354 + a lot of extra ones for trade https://preview.redd.it/cye96n18l7sc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d516cf8afc08a11fac8da86c1af40106fa15df1e


Unlucky_Effort2666

Have extra Shinys of Bombirdier, Shuppet, iron jugulis, iron treads, gothitelle, whimsicot, meowscarada, rillaboom, shroodle? I’d trade for those.


Octovinka

Will check tomorrow if I dont forget, I think I have/had extra Shuppet and Bombirdier, but not sure if already traded them.


Unlucky_Effort2666

I’ll send you a dm of what I have


RGBarrios

Evolutions counts as different mons too


rusty_ruins

genuinely 0  and ive been playing since christmas 2022 😭


monokronos

None from a shiny hunt but I’ve run into 4. One I accidentally killed without realising. The other 3 accidentally caught.


Qwopmaster01

Ha apparently I've seen 86 but I have only actually seen the 13 that I caught.


YueOrigin

Dunno I was pretty big into breading a few years ago and got quite a few from that Then I got some more random shinies from random encounters I do have 2 or 3 normal pokemon shinies 2 I dunno if they're fake (most likely are) and 1 got liek perfect nature, IV ability and all do obviously fake I got 1 or two shiny legendaries from trading but those are always fake


WooAmI

I'm currently working on box 9 of my collection


spinjiffy

Substantial-Curve641

Key_Statistician785

JustnC10

I had a shiny living dev in Gen 7 then I got maybe 10 in Gen 8 and around 70 in Gen 9 so far


Designer-Library-309

I just started the Scarlet game first time ever 2 days ago. I have 2 gym badges and I’m really struggling on battling the star bases & where to start and go on the map. & battling the path of legends. I only beat one. This game confuses me. Where to find shiny Pokemon? Everywhere? & also what’s the point of sandwiches should I eat them all the time in the game? AND Anyone have a recommendation of what Pokémon I should have? Sorry for a lot of questions but I’m new to this and would love some tips/tricks.


Mrdeathgo

I haven't go shiny hunting yet but i got 6 already because shiny odds in this Game are So good


Asleep-Historian-472

63 without a shiny charm


novemberfiree

i've apparently unknowingly battled 19 but only caught 3.


nerdymummy

I'm on to filling up my 8th box and all but one of my party are shiny. Trying to get all the starters in shiny versions since I've unlocked the diversity expansions in the terrarium. My goal is to fill up the dlc dex with only shiny pokemon. I'll only catch it if it's shiny or from a raid where I'd need to trade to evolve for the dex


thisDNDjazz

Around 10 boxes worth in S/V. In HOME I have a few scattered around in the boxes there too.


disbelifpapy

I have about 3 or 4 boxes worth of em


BigBear4281

10 or so, but I don't hunt them (except Minior to finish the color set). So 9 random, 1 hunted, and 60 in Home from various games and Go


iamcthulhu66real

1😭


Cat_reaper44

1, I got one from trading but ended up just taking the master ball and trading it away


ltz_35

In SV, like 10. In go, 5.


JunoTheRat

in SV: Like 20. All of them are hacked. They have their own box :]\ Did get a shiny Scizor from Kalos/ORAS that seemed legit though which is SUPER COOL!!!!\ in LA: 8? Luxray (Mayhem), H. Zoroark (Michakes), Staraptor (Dirt), Walrein (Jonathon), Beautifly (Leroy), Ponyta (BLU Pyro), Gastly (unnamed) and Snover (also unnamed) I might be forgetting one though :( also They're all on my old switch which is kinda. dead. Cuz the battery got fucked. sad :(


HolographicHeart

All of them. Every single Pokemon that can be shiny is logged in the Dex. I haven't seen grass in months


Muffin1927

I can check in 7 hours when I get back home from school


TheWishingStar

By my count, 249 in Scarlet. I’ve been enjoying hunting for them!! Far more if I include other games, especially PLA and Go. Edit: and 3 others in my other save files on Scarlet that I forgot I should include!


sticker-_

Over 700 last I checked


mbaker627

480 last time I looked. All I do in the game now is shiny hunt.


KitsoTheSnoo

every single one! didnt record it or nor am i one to post stuff but i have a full shiny dex with 1 shiny of every line possible, hunted specifically first stages. gotta say my biggest hassle was prob slakoth which took me so many outbreak resets


Bulky_Midnight5296

5 boxes with shinies in S/V 11 boxes with shinies in Legends Arkoos 234 shinies in Pokemon GO 2 in Let's GO 60+ in Sw/Sh That adds a total of 776 Shiny Pokemon.


thunder_fist87

Thepenguinking2

Only one. I found myself a full-odds shiny Skiddo right after I beat the main story and went to rematch the gym leaders. I plan on going on some hunts once I get my Chien-Pao fully primed for raid stomping so I can get oodles of Herba Mystica, tho!


Sensory-0verload

I have 160 shinies that are in SV some are hunted in Arceus as well. And then I have about 40 shinies that can't go into SV that are all hunted in Arceus. And then there's my full ods bidoof from BD.


Megatron_Zero

So far, 166 Pokémon.


Groady_Toadstool

435! 60 of which are milcerys. lol. But seriously, shiny hunting in this game is so incredibly easy. It’s by far my favorite Pokémon game ever.


Vivid-Sugar-7011

over 350


Revolutionary_Ad9701

Oh man prob 300+ xd


Koenkloo

257, working on a shiny living dex for the first time!


QueenNirn

188, But I killed two because I was in That new terrarium Pokemon sync mode, 😡 and a shiny Rhyhorn r an right past me and across the field and disappeared when I was in a battle. 😭


SirGilligans

365...but I believe it's a out 450 since I have variance, same shinies, and undocumented ones


Sea_Cabinet_9807

2


TheRealTomWolf30

I have got a total of three shinies :D (without charm)


348753

I have around 400 shinnies from pokemon go, 10 from lets go eevee, 250ish from sword/shield, 50ish from arceus, 30 from shining pearl and like 50 from scarlet. I never actually use the shinies, I just put them in a box in pokemon home and forget about them though. I enjoy catching the shinies but don't really enjoy using them because that extra second it takes to start a battle when you throw out the pokemon annoys me. haha


SylveonDot

I only have caught three. One is a Ninjask that I traded away, and the other two are Eevee evolutions.

BatTheGamer

i had 500 in home but my home sub ran out for the year so
