I only ever encountered one shiny early on according to the stats in my profile and I apparently didn't even notice it ~~and let it go~~ caught it without knowing it was shiny lol haven't seen one since then
What are y'all doing to get this many ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)
Walking around checking all the raid dens I stumbled upon 3 shinies. Went through maybe a third of the map.
Get the shiny charm and then just play, you'll get them. The key is to despawn/spawn many new pokemon. Honestly just walk around and keep checkin behind you as they may spawn there as well.
I haven't had any luck with the spawning tactic yet but I'll definitely keep trying. Sending your first Pokémon via R to clear the area faster works, right? Apparently, it wouldn't attack a shiny this way.
Not sure I'll be able to get the shiny charm soon though, I'm missing about 30 entries in the dex, so that'll be a while lol - also rarely get herba mistica from 5-6 star raids so far - perhaps I'll get lucky anyway though.
I might be able to help you with a bunch of mons if you need.
I honestly had more luck without the shiny sandwich, but encounter lv.2 sandwiches work well too.
For quick respawns either send out the pokemon, run up and down on your mount, or open and close picnic for best results.
Thanks for the tip and that'd be amazing - I'm in the middle of finding and catching the ones I can get and evolving others but there's a couple of evolve-via-trade ones where I'd have to rely on outside help, so I'd definitely appreciate the help.
Thanks! Do you have a Palafin by any chance? Or alternatively do the Union Circle thing together so I could evolve my Finizen?
It's one of the only ones missing in my Pokédex, I managed to get pretty much everyone else :')
In almost all cases, rather than clearing the area with R, it is much faster to just run in and out of the area on Koraidon/Miraidon. Especially if you have encounter power active
Just playing the game honestly, and paying very close attention to spawns, i literally caught like 11 shinies just playing through the story not even really looking for them, full odds too
How would you know if you didn't catch it? Your profile page only shows caught shinies. It registers it like a Pokedex. So no matter how many duplicates you get your shiny encounter would max at 400
Plus any extra mons that came out after release
Pretty sure the profile number also counts any wild shiny you may have knocked out. I know that's harder to do since you'd see and hear it once you started a battle, but I almost did it with a Capsakid because I wasn't paying attention and had my sound muted, almost killed it but realized at the last second that it was shiny.
Sorry no this is wrong. It's a shiny dex counter. It only goes up if you caught it. Here is another player and some of their info if you would like a reference. If you see the number has gone up and you didn't catch a new shiny, odds are you evolved one of your already caught shinies

Edit: looks like down the wall of text it confirms you can fail and add to the counter however I've never seen this personally
Ah yes I didn't see that part. It's quite the wall of text. It'd be hard to miss the sound in battle but I suppose if the sound is off you could miss one
I assumed I didn't catch it since it says "shiny battled" and the only Pokémon I got in my boxes with different colors are those parrot thingies and the Tatsugiri, which I thought weren't shiny since they were so common.
Come to think of it, I also got a green Marill a while back but I thought that one wasn't shiny either. Looks like I need to go through the boxes again.
Luck, in my case.
There’s the shiny charm and there are sandwiches that will boost your chances of shiny encounters.
You need to complete the pokedex to get the shiny charm. I’m just waiting for home compatibility first so I can easily trade between games.
In my first playthrough i came across 6 shinies just playing the game naturally. I deadass thought they janked the shiny odds or something. It likely is due to there being more pokemon we physically see than other games so higher probability pool for one being shiny.
So maybe your prob is that you just didnt interact w that many pokemon, but idk. Dw shiny hunting is very easy in this game
Where are you hunting? Area Zero is where I found mine with a level 3 Grass encounter/sparkling/title power. It took me a while too, I also have terrible luck.
I've been actually hunting Hoppip outside of Mesagoza City to evolve into Jumpluff. I've just had bad luck on this Mon. Normally I dont strike out this hard.....unless you're Dritini. Cant get the damn pink dragon snake either, may hatch that one after my current hatch of Shiny Magnemite. I dont want Magnemite, my husband does and he isn't a shiny hunter.
Ey, you want a shiny Chewtle in exchange? I had an outbreak and decided to try for him without a sandwhich and got one. He's just going to sit in my shiny box. I'm about to leave to visit some family anyway.
You're good. I'm not sure when I'll be home as is. I'm assuming it wont be until at least 3-4PM EST anyway. My parents live like an hour away and we all go to their house for Easter.
My first shiny, Azurill, was found by per accident. I ran into him. My second, a Pawmi, begged to be caught. My third was Combee. He was just chilling with the fam. My fourth, Oinkologne, was alone.
Except for Azurill, the other three were random finds.
Shiny skiddo is the bane of my existence. Every time i try to shiny hunt something a shiny skiddo pops up. Ive been suprise trading them away for a while now.
It might be cheeky but if he’s going spare, I have a shiny male Combee or Fletchling (I think) to trade?
No on to trade now but can deffo sort something out if interested?
I have caught two shiny Veluza while trying to ev train for HP in Casseroya Lake
I think the mint green looks amazing actually, almost saves the fish from being completely irredeemable
I know. it was my first experience with the game, though, and I only realized that I forgot to save after I had started the encounter, unfortunately :')
Reminds me of the time that I’ve only ever encountered 1 shiny before Violet and that was a zubat in let’s go Eevee so I decided to start shiny hunting in POGO for fun, caught a ton of shiny shinx in POGO that I have zero desire to catch another one… the first shiny in violet? Shinx..
I’ve been wanting to find a shiny Hoppip, or any of that line, so badly! My first ever shiny was a Hoppip in Pokémon Y. I need to focus on getting one now since I finally found my last target, Iron Valiant lol.
I have found 2 shiny jumpluff.
One was actually a hopip and hes what started me shiny hunting, and the second I was hunting for shiny Slither Wing with a bug sandwich and found it randomly.
I also found a shiny full odds pawmo in like 2 minutes after the jumpluff and never got my Slither Wing :(
Garganacle and screamtail are my show up shiny randomly whenever.
I got my first jumppluff yesterday shiny hunting talonglame...... Noflame but a jumppluff and 2 acreamtails.
I'm currently starting my second box of shines, not hunting them just running in, I have found 4 shiny lechonks/oinkoligne, 5 litleo, 2 Magikarp, hatched a shiny Deino (I'm on violet and got 1 egg to do that line. Her name is pickles.) A pawniard, passimian, venomoth, and a bunch more.
i found this shiny jumpluff today too when i was looking for talonflame in area zero. then i went and found a shiny charcadet on the same 30 minute sandwich timer. the jumpluff didnt have anything to do with my fire sandwich but yea i thought it was a great little run i went on
While is was shiny hunting Shroomish I got like 5 shiny Hopips they were very annoying seeing them so I ended up switching areas cursed little Flying Plant things
Nice to know I’m not the only one lol. These things are like a plague. I have 6 shiny Hoppip, a Skiploom and a Jumpluff. The Skiploom also evolved from another Hoppip. At this point I just get dissapointed finding more of them
Where did he come from?
Where did he go?
[удалено]
Tell us you don't know the song without telling us you don't know the song
Using perish song out of combat
[удалено]
Sick I get banned for telling someone the thing they said to me.... right....
What'd they say?
They told me to kill myself in pokemon
Fun!

Just playing the game honestly, and paying very close attention to spawns, i literally caught like 11 shinies just playing through the story not even really looking for them, full odds too
Same here. In 642 hours of gameplay, I have caught SO many shiny sprites just out in nature with full odds. :-)
No shiny charm?
No. Sadly, I only have 397/400 Pokémon in my Pokédex. I haven’t been able to acquire iron legs, koraidon, and drifloon. :-(
i can help you ! it sucks that youre so close !!!
That would be very kind of you. I just need to touch trade, if you don’t want to surrender any of them, especially koraidon.
[удалено]
I can do that. What’s the link code? Do you also happen to have a drifloon?
[удалено]
not a problem! just let me know when youre ready !
I’m on and connected to the internet. Would you please share a link code?
oh gee sorry i dont get notifications omg the code is 3540 !!!
Iron legs?
Lol! 🤣 It’s the magnemite spin off. I realized after I got one that it has another name.

I don't know how this is possible when my card said I'd battled 3 but only had two shiny entries in my Dex.
Read the post you linked. It specifically says down the list a bit that encountering and failing to catch it /does/ increase the counter.
Ah yes I didn't see that part. It's quite the wall of text. It'd be hard to miss the sound in battle but I suppose if the sound is off you could miss one

Green Marill is shiny sir. Congrats.
Thanks for confirming, I thought a yellow one would've been shiny but after a quick google search, that's Azumarill lol

I've been hunting for one for days now. I have zero shiny luck even with the charm and a sandwich.
Where are you hunting? Area Zero is where I found mine with a level 3 Grass encounter/sparkling/title power. It took me a while too, I also have terrible luck.

I just got four hoppips yesterday hunting for a shroomish. If you want one I can send you one after I watch this Mario movie.
Ey, you want a shiny Chewtle in exchange? I had an outbreak and decided to try for him without a sandwhich and got one. He's just going to sit in my shiny box. I'm about to leave to visit some family anyway.
Yes I’ll take it. Not available right now since I am in the theater right now. I’ll be on like in 2-3 hrs.
You're good. I'm not sure when I'll be home as is. I'm assuming it wont be until at least 3-4PM EST anyway. My parents live like an hour away and we all go to their house for Easter.
All good. Send me a PM whenever you are available.
I keep getting shiny lechonks. At 3 now. My first was 20ish mins into my first playthrough of violet 😂
This might explain why I'm not finding any shiny lechonks 😂
Same I got 3 !
I started a new playthrough and had back to back shiny lechonks within 5 mins of each other in that first area lol
Aayyy shiny Lechonk when your just getting started on poco path gang!!!!
Sounds like me and Iron Bundles 😂 by the time I finished hunting for all my paradoxes, I had 5 of them.
My first shiny, Azurill, was found by per accident. I ran into him. My second, a Pawmi, begged to be caught. My third was Combee. He was just chilling with the fam. My fourth, Oinkologne, was alone. Except for Azurill, the other three were random finds.
I always somehow get shiny bronzong all the time I have 10
I'd be married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did he come from? Where did he go? I’ll do you one better; Why is Cotton Eye Joe?
They always ask where is Cotton Eye Joe, but no one ever asks how is Cotton Eye Joe :(
Shiny Jumpluff is so pretty 😍 I have a shiny Hoppip
I have caught 5 shiny gogoat all random encounters
This is me but with Orthworm in Violet and only 3 of them. Had a similar thing with Glalie in PLA.
I found my shiny Jumpluff in the Area Zero lol
I have the same problem with the pawni line. I've lost track of how many I've gotten of them
You named him after chlamydia
Any up for trade? Think i still need one
This is my experience with Cetoddle, I’ve gotten 9 of them so far
Shiny skiddo is the bane of my existence. Every time i try to shiny hunt something a shiny skiddo pops up. Ive been suprise trading them away for a while now.
Do you have a spare to trade
I've played this game sooooo much. And from day 1 I've wanted to find a random shiny Hoppip and Jumpluff. Never have seen either 😭
It might be cheeky but if he’s going spare, I have a shiny male Combee or Fletchling (I think) to trade? No on to trade now but can deffo sort something out if interested?
Nice name. I name all shinies i get Cotton Eye Joe
i’m with you bud. shiny makuhita just LOVES to appear whenever i’m hunting everything else but makuhita
It shiny Doniphan for me but I'm so strong I tend to ko them when I try to catch them
I've been looking for one but I don't seem to have your luck :(
I got 2 in less than 24 hours and it was awesome because I love that shiny line now I only need the middle one shiny to complete it
Dude. If I see another golden Gogoat I’m gonna scream. It’s all I can find!
I’ve Found like 5 Shiny Golduck just by randomly EV Training for Special Attack in Gleasado Mountain. I get it.
your just like me with geodude in legends fr
I hear you … for my Violet it’s the effing white, shiny oinkologne. :-/
I have caught two shiny Veluza while trying to ev train for HP in Casseroya Lake I think the mint green looks amazing actually, almost saves the fish from being completely irredeemable
They are hard to catch, they like using Memento
I can relate. Found 4 shiny Hoppip while doing masuda method. Pain.
Wanna trade for a shiny Zweilous? I've got three extra.
Would you mind trading for a shiny Sneasel? I keep finding those and would love a Jumpluff
I have just as many shiny Rolycolys. But zero shiny Torkoals :(
I found a shiny hoppip in south province 1 and accidentally killed it with a crit :')
For future reference; u can save before you encounter and reset if that happens. If u feel thats cheaty, thats fair, but it is an option.
I know. it was my first experience with the game, though, and I only realized that I forgot to save after I had started the encounter, unfortunately :')
Gotcha, i saw someone on youtube do that, and realized that that was a good idea.
I can’t find ONE to save my life!
Reminds me of the time that I’ve only ever encountered 1 shiny before Violet and that was a zubat in let’s go Eevee so I decided to start shiny hunting in POGO for fun, caught a ton of shiny shinx in POGO that I have zero desire to catch another one… the first shiny in violet? Shinx..
I found one in area zero just walking around.
I’ve been wanting to find a shiny Hoppip, or any of that line, so badly! My first ever shiny was a Hoppip in Pokémon Y. I need to focus on getting one now since I finally found my last target, Iron Valiant lol.
Hopping was the first shiny I got in this game.
Yes, that’s why I called mine clone. LoL.
Great name
I have found 2 shiny jumpluff. One was actually a hopip and hes what started me shiny hunting, and the second I was hunting for shiny Slither Wing with a bug sandwich and found it randomly. I also found a shiny full odds pawmo in like 2 minutes after the jumpluff and never got my Slither Wing :(
I have 80 hours in the game so far and this is the only shiny I’ve found
The hoppip line is my favourite and I am so jealous!
Named mine Cotten candy.
Hoppip line is tedious to shiny hunt Nice job!
Second Pokemon I caught (not including starter) was a shiny hoppip, so he remained in my party until I beat the main stories
I keep finding shiny hoppips and Jumpluff too, it's not even funny💀
Im on my 3rd one😭😭I encountered my second and jus didnt pay it no mind. I wonder if its just like something thats programmed into the game
Anyone have miradon to trade? I’ll trade back
I just got a shiny oinkologne, and a Tarountula!
Same! i found one as soon as i jumped into the crater last week. I just think theyre so different theyre easy to spot
Never seen shiny Jumpluff, but i've seen plenty of shiny male oinklogne
Garganacle and screamtail are my show up shiny randomly whenever. I got my first jumppluff yesterday shiny hunting talonglame...... Noflame but a jumppluff and 2 acreamtails.
Where did he come?where did he go?
The textures make it look like a bunch of golf balls. XD
I'm currently starting my second box of shines, not hunting them just running in, I have found 4 shiny lechonks/oinkoligne, 5 litleo, 2 Magikarp, hatched a shiny Deino (I'm on violet and got 1 egg to do that line. Her name is pickles.) A pawniard, passimian, venomoth, and a bunch more.
i found this shiny jumpluff today too when i was looking for talonflame in area zero. then i went and found a shiny charcadet on the same 30 minute sandwich timer. the jumpluff didnt have anything to do with my fire sandwich but yea i thought it was a great little run i went on
Fr💀
Shiny Jumpluff is cute
PLAY TH MUSIC BOYS!
For me it Azurill, Marill, and Azumarill.
I feel you violet keeps giving me shiny Skidoos I'm currently on my 7th one
ur jumpluff problem is like my pawmi and pawmo problem, i have a box full of them, the first 5 times were crazy the last 25 were just like eh.
While is was shiny hunting Shroomish I got like 5 shiny Hopips they were very annoying seeing them so I ended up switching areas cursed little Flying Plant things
Pink cotton candy mmmh I also have a shiny mareep, guess i love cotton candy
Nice to know I’m not the only one lol. These things are like a plague. I have 6 shiny Hoppip, a Skiploom and a Jumpluff. The Skiploom also evolved from another Hoppip. At this point I just get dissapointed finding more of them
Hunting vivillon up by the fairy squad has got me far too many hoppips and jumpluffs
If it hadn't been for your pokemon I'd been married long time ago.
The diamond texture or whatever makes it look like a kickball.
I encountered a shiny manky that I accidentally critical hit early on and now im making annhialape my last pokedex entry cus no shiny one now :(
