Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Muahaha~!

I've been a long-time lurker here, but have just recently worked up the nerve to try this Shiny hunting method. XD It's so frustrating, but, oddly, also crazy fun. @[email protected] <3

hello welcome to shiny hunting! Im fairly new as well but in two days of actually trying 2 shinies to show for it! It is frustrating for me as well but strangly addictive... good luck hunting who is your first target?

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Hey guys -- I've done pretty well capturing shinies but my first venture into EV training isn't turning out so well. Could I get some help from somebody.

I took my best shiny Rhydon (lvl 55, Adamant, IVs 30 in ATT and in DEF) not been in any battles previously and fed it 10 Proteins and 10 Carbos -- I figured that gave it 100 EVs in Attack and Speed respectively. The Rhydon has Pokerus and was holding the Macho Brace. So I went hunting first for Bibarels. I figured the Bibarels 2 EPs it gives in attack were doubled by Pokerus and then doubled again by the macho brace for 8 EPs per battle. I battled 19 Bibarels for 19 x 8 = 152 plus the 100 for the 10 proteins for a total of 252 in attack.
I then battled 19 Raticates and Fearows (2 EPs in Speed) to add to the Carbose for 252 in speed. Finally I battled 2 Onix (1 EP in Def)to finish it off --- I thought. During this training the Rhydon leveled up once to lvl 56. When it leveled up it showed an increas in speed of 12 stat points -- attack was just like 4 or something pretty unimpressive.

But when I go to the Seal shop and speak to the woman in there she says my Rhydon need more work. I went out and battled a few more of each of the above Pokemon and then went back but she still says he needs more work.

Can anybody help this EV noob figure out what went wrong? I tried feeding it a bunch of Rare Candies to lvl 100 thinking that maybe the affect of the EV training wouldn't fully kick in until lvl 100 but that didn't impress the lady any better.

Thanks

I thought Pokerus + Macho Brace x Bibarel = 6 Att EV. Or am I wrong?

Edit : It turns out that Pokerus + Macho Brace x Bibarel = 8 EV. So I dont know what's wrong with your unown-cause-of-the-unmaxed-EV Rhydon.

It's totally addictive. XD

I'm going after Sneasel right now. I think the Shiny Weavile is so hardcore. @[email protected]

What's your current target Shiny~? ^^

I have a Shiny Sneasel, but it's still a Sneasel. :p I'm not really a big fan of pink Pokemon.

Yes, pink is cute. I dont think it suits Sneasel/Weavile though. But that's just me.

I agree, Sneasel/Weavile looks really awesome with its current colours. n_n

It's just that the Shiny is so dramatically different~! XD I like to think of people's faces who haven't seen a Shiny Pokemon before, running into a Shiny Weavile.

I think they'd pee themselves.

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Sneasel's pretty tough to do since it's in the snow (unless you're at Lake Acuity itself, then there's a lot more Pokemon there that can break your chain).. I got my shiny Sneasel on Platinum from a random encounter though, so I can't really say much about my chaining experience on Sneasel.

Shiny Heatran? Wow, hats off to you! And chaining Chansey on top of that? Wow...I wish I had a quarter of the patience you seem to possess.

Going to try my luck with Gligar again...I WILL have my blue Gliscor!

You are mighty courageous~! 8O

There are only a few legendaries I would have the patience to soft reset to get a Shiny for. XD

Shiny Chanseys are cute~! I might try to get one some time in the future. :3

I'm sorry I cant offer any help though. My EV training method always work for me.

Pokemon + Power Item (Power Band) + 10 EV enhancing Item (Vitamins) x 30 1EV Pokemon = 250 EV.

I dont have Pokerus. :(

Edit : I dont really like pink Pokemon, but I love my 31 Att IV Pink Crobat.

:). But I do wish that a shiny Crobat exists in a different colour. Black maybe. I dont like Pokemon in pink and purple. Then again, that's just me. And a shiny Blissey is 'pinker' than the ordinary one. :mad:

Re: Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar

Chain of 11 Larvitars! Feeling optimistic about at least getting to 15 (which would be a new record high chain)!
