People with multiple OT's would think it's not just luck I used to be very active and encountered a lot. I was constantly breeding (old breeding), encountering to unlocking the egg's moves and species, IV checking and paydaying. I had very little idle time in game, clocked 2k hours and had no OT shinies. Now I'm significantly less active and afk a lot more, but I'm at 3 shinies. I consider myself lucky xD Link to comment

frogbussoms Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Nobody who has shinies will even be able to comprehend the time and dedication other players can put into the game and understand the frustration that comes after gaining nothing. And then we have these guys saying that they haven't done anything to deserve one.. They are type of people that call you a liar when you tell them you have been doing something for your whole life, just because they want to be better than you at whatever it is..

Well, I cant understand cuz I probably got 4 OT by luck. I can't "gain nothing" cuz I dont stop before catching one. Talking about frustration ? A shiny Sealeo was found, when I was hunting Spheal from 100+ hours (I mean, 100 hours only on battle, no counting afk and no hunting stuff). I dun stopped, and finally got it. Remember when these "shiny rate" topic started, you talked with me in game, you told me you were hunting for Taillow. So, you must not be ch1 cuz never seen you hunting. Link to comment
Imperial Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Guys you're overcomplicating this. Finding a shiny is like a roll of a dice, also known as risk taking aka gambling. As Gizmo mentioned awhile ago, your chances reset within each encounter, just like a dice. There ain't no "hax" just a donator status which INCREASES that chance, but it still resets each time with a low probability. I have 800+ hours and no OT but that's irrelevant. I'm sure gamblers get frustrated too, difference is they can actually LOSE something in the process. SneaKyKhaLidA, elemi13 and Tritios 3 Link to comment

Every roll is independant, but taking a set of rolls make the probabilities way different :p Link to comment
