mehito Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hello, New player here.. Can someone tell me best tips for hunting shiny pokemons? What ways are there and what are the odds? Is there any tier list for Shiny pokemons and what are most rare Shiny pokemons? Thanks in advance! Link to comment
razimove Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 sweet scent, leppas, patience. No secret or tips, just time. Rarest are uniques, and rare uniques, starters being a good example, or fossils, there's more, you can search through pokedex to find them. Odds are well... dynamic, nobody knows the exact odds on any shiny. Link to comment
mehito Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Thanks for answering.. I am total noob.. I only played Pokemon X on 3DS and i used breeding for shiny hunting.. Can you explain in more details? Where can i find berrys and that move? What pokemons can i should use etc.. Link to comment
Torinnnnn Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You can get leppa berries from gtl or you can plant your own The pokemon you use depends on what poke you decide on hunting. for example if you're hunting growlithe in pokemon mansion it is common to bring a pokemon with clear body or hyper cutter so you dont get intimidated 5x every horde, or if you're hunting heracross its smart to bring Octillery or cradily because Beautifly hordes also spawn there and they have whirlwind Link to comment
Kite Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) You're going to need 2 kinds of pokemon (Aside from what Torinnnnn said) Smeargle with False Swipe/Spore And Quagsire with Damp ability (Or any mon with Damp Ability) Then you're going to need lots and lots of pokeballs that you want your shiny in. Also pokemon like Oddish can learn Sweet Scent naturally, so if you wanted, you could have your Smeargle Sketch Sweet Scent if you don't want to carry Oddish around. Then pick a pokemon you want shiny go to the area and hunt for it. Edited October 24, 2017 by Kite Link to comment

Gotta stop those pesky whirlwind users I like to use Octillery because it gets thunder wave I'd personally just Master Ball any mon that has whirlwind if it was shiny :p Yourmajestytx 1 Link to comment

What a waste, I would just kill it or run away lol Link to comment

Riesz Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Pokemons in PokeMMO does not run away using their ability (eg Rattata) but can escape via moves. Counters for moves: Teleport - Shadow Tag (Wobbuffet) Whirlwind - Suction Cups (Octillery) /Ingrain (grass type move) Roar - Soundproof (Loudred) Explosion - Damp (Quagsire, Politoed) Take Down - Ghost type pokemons Not sure if I missed any other moves To know what move a wild pokemon has, go to its pokemon entry and look up for 4 moves from its level. So a lv 30 Skarmory will know Spikes, Swift, Fury Attack and Air Cutter but a lv 18 will know Fury Attack Air Cutter, Metal Claw and Sand Attack For non-damaging ones, you may have a Taunt leader to prevent them to use such moves for 3 turns and if hordes, Taunt is not gonna help. Eg a Smeargle with False Swipe, Spore, Taunt, Sweet Scent. Cheap Sweet Scent user: Oddish Last but not least, you need luck or patient JLxKaos and WildHodor 2 Link to comment

Does someone just run in grass randomly? They're only expensive early on, you should focus on shiny hunt as soon as you jump in the game, IMO. I'd advice you to do the following: Complete both stories on your main account. Create 2 alts, run through hoenn story, you'll make 1.2-1.4m each from story, and then you'll use this 2 to harvest leppas. You can get 150-180 leppas per day harvesting on each char. This should give you some funds so that you don't run out of leppas quickly for a bit.@Riesz to add to what you said: Octillery is the best suction cups cause he has Twave. Other option would be Cradily. Shedinja is the best ghost type, has access to false swipe. Other than shedinja is there any ghost able to use false swipe? I don't remember any, so think he might be the only one. Smeargle is your bread and butter for most shinies that don't have tricky mechanics. Other option would be Parasect. Both Polis, quagsire,(next gen swampert). Clear body, metagross is also good for intimidate hordes, to clear the non shiny pokemons. Link to comment

Agreed on this part, but I personally have many different smeargle for each and every situation :) also, you may breed egg move False Swipe into Breloom, which I think is a better option off Parasect razimove 1 Link to comment
mehito Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 i have 2500 encouters in ghost tower and no shiny gastly :(.. but i gotta keep on grinding :) First Shiny is hardest to me because i need one to know if they exist!! If you know what i mean :) Link to comment
RealLifeAngel Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Scamming always made shiny hunting so much easier, instead of spending countless hours in the wild or breeding all you would have do is fine one simple person & woo them. Too bad it is against the rules now, miss how cutthroat the game used to be always made it interesting! Might as well get rid of rocket uniforms since you cannot screw ppl over like team rocket does ;~; EmoDuck 1 Link to comment
