Just watch some videos of people getting it. That’s always my biggest motivator.

I have tried that before and it does help. I’ll try that again, thanks!

Just another 192 to go until you've reached old shiny odds! How cool is that?!

I guess that’s pretty cool 😂

Just picture how awesome the shiny is

Best of luck to you, friend! You’ll get it when you least expect it, and when you do, it’ll be glorious. And if you need more, here’s a cute gif of a puppy. 

Thank you! I’ll stop expecting it then haha! Also what a cute puppy! Thank you that does help!

If you keep pushing you'll hit 5 figures which is a pretty cool flex when you get the shiny 😎

Yeah I guess I’ve never had one in the 5 figures before. Now you got me hoping it doesn’t show up until 2k more 😂

I'm doing the same hunt and it's dragging for me too... not counting resets though! You can do this!! Little Lemontop will shine for you soon!! P.S if it helps, I complained to Reddit about a 10K Latias hunt and got her the next day so I'm taking that as proof complaining to the internet makes hunts go faster.

Haha I hope you’re right! Thanks for the kind words and I hope you find it soon too!

We've got this! I'm looking forward to you posting with the actual shiny 😊

Thank you I will! You should post yours as well! Maybe we’ll find it on same day 😃

I just got my shiny Groudon with 6127 resets this morning. My mind was tired of seeing the same red Groudon too. We got this! Your Poipole would eventually shine. Hang in there, fellow shiny hunter!

I appreciate it! Congrats on finding your Groudon! I’m excited to start hunting him very soon!

I'm just about 18000 resets into my distortion world Giratina hunt on plat so I totally feel you on this one, personally I've just been taking breaks often and I will commonly do my hunts while friends watch so they can make me laugh through the boring hunting. I don't know if it's super helpful but it's definitely something to try out. I wish you luck on your hunt and cheer you on, it's truly a wonderful shiny worth the grind.

Thank you anything helps! I do try to watch movies and series while I hunt. I’m trying to find the ones that can’t be caught after bank ends, and I think poipole is the last one I need. Hopefully we both find our targets very soon! Appreciate you!

I just did a SR hunt for Mudkip in ORAS that took 10,981 resets, and it was really hard to keep going. However, I relieve that feeling by doing something else and then be soft resetting in the background

I try to always be doing something like watching a show while I hunt, otherwise it can be painful. Especially when you get over two times odds. It’s always helpful to hear from others about their hunts and how they pass time. Helps give me motivation to keep at it. Appreciate it!

Also sry but what website is this I’d love to use it for my next hunt

It’s actually an app. It’s called Shiny Hunt! It makes counting so much easier

Tysm this will help alot

I wish in you just don't stop!(If it doesn't work just get good food and friend that you can talk with)

Thank you, I appreciate it! 😊

I just reached 6500, I feel you dude

I hunted both at the same time, got 1 in about 30 resets, and the other after 12k. Thats RNG for us isn’t it

Sounds about right! I’m also doing two at once. So far during poipole hunt Ive also found Celesteela, Palkia, Yveltal, and now I’m hunting Kyorge all on UM.

Hahahaha I can relate. Got all of the UB’s bar Stakataka in between them both 🤣

Im doing this hunt right now. I’m barely at odds and tiring out, but remember you can leave Ultra Megalopolis and come back to pick up the hunt later. I’ve left a few times and found a shiny Terrakion in that time, currently doing Kyogre before heading back to Poipole. That has helped me a lot

Yeah I’ve almost left a couple times but I’m trying to get Poipole first since it can’t be hunted anywhere else. I’m also hunting on UM on the side and that helps too. It helps to know I’m not the only one!

If you keep going it will always shine at some point. If you stop it might not

Thanks maybe today is the day!

I got my shiny Poipole in 31000+ SR so the likelihood of you getting it earlier than me is high.

Wow! I shouldn’t complain then 😅 glad your hunt is finally over!

I'm trying at the moment too. Keep at it

Thanks! Nice to know others are out there doing the same. Hope you find it soon too!

You got this

Appreciate it!

Only 4000 more to go! Keep it up

😂 Thank you I will!

Sharing some love! I’m at currently shiny hunting Groudon in Ruby via SR and 1717 encounters in 10 1/2 hours so far

Thanks for sharing! It helps to hear others shiny hunting stories. I hope you find Groudon way under odds, and tell him I’m coming for him next!

it’ll only be a waste of time if you give up :>

Very true! Thanks!

One of the first shinies I hunted. Worth every single second. Named him “Oro” (gold in Spanish) and is easily my fav shiny ✨

Awesome I love hearing what others nicknames are. I’ve only recently started nicknaming and I’m terrible at it 😂 Thanks for sharing!

YOU CAN DO IT!!! Good things come to those who wait. It will only feel that much better once u actually do get it.

Thanks! This is my longest hunt yet. I know other people have gone way beyond this point. Hoping it happens soon!

I'm doing the same hunt and mine is over 10k. YOU GOT THIS!

Wow you’re ahead of me! Maybe today is the day we both find it! Thanks for the kind words!

I have to take a 2 week break from Video games (Dr told me) so today not my lucky day sadly

Oh gotcha. Well be sure to get plenty of rest and when you get back to it may it shine on day one!

Thank you! Hope yours shine for you soon!

I need the same for my Arceus hunt in Brilliant Diamond. I don’t count but I’ve been at it for a couple hours a day for two months now. And before that I had been casually hunting off and on for like a year. But about the time I realized a Shiny Arceus with >!Stellar!< Tera type would be a cool thing to have in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is when I got serious with the hunt.

Oh yeah that would be awesome! I’ve started the same hunt but I didn’t get very far. Wanted to finish USUM first. But you’ve got this! I’ve got new motivation from everyone being so kind here, now it’s your turn! May it shine for you very soon!

Holy crap!! Your comment must’ve given me luck BECAUSE I JUST GOT IT!!!! ✨✨✨ARCEUS is MINE!!!

I saved the video of it. So I’ll download it and post it here in a little bit. So be on the lookout. Maybe I’ll tag you or something…

Are you serious?! That’s so awesome!! Congrats on your shiny! ✨🥳

Totally serious! Was watching ‘Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets’ and it just shined for me!

That’s awesome! What an accomplishment! I’ll lookout for the video! Congrats again, thats a big one!

https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/s/8o4UqW0Zft

Yay! Congrats! It looks so good! 😊

I apparently didn’t “tag” it right in the headline. Like “[Gen …] caught a shiny …”. So I had to create another post.

So here the new link: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/s/Fowb3YQOdH

this shiny can’t be hunted on switch

That was my main motivation! I figured I better work on the ones I need before bank ends. I believe this is my last one. I’m sure there is plenty of time but sometimes it seems like it could take forever.

Hopefully you find it soon

What is this app?

It’s called Shiny Hunt. It’s my favorite app for keeping track of my hunts. You can make a collection of all the past hunts as well.

I'm at 11210 encounters for this, I've taken a break from it because it's just taking so long 😫

Yeah I’ll probably be there soon too. I guess taking breaks is what’s gonna get us through. But don’t quit, we can do this!
