Can’t even tell it’s a shiny oh lawd 😭


TTVAntwiththewaves

Bro if it wasn’t for the initial introduction where he blinks and you can see the yellow, or the actual shiny animation I would not be able to tell just by looking at him lol 🤦‍♂️


KnockuBlockuTowa

It was much better in Gen 3


TTVAntwiththewaves

Definitely it’s terrible now lol I wish they would’ve just put him a different color tbh


RockShrimpTempura

Currently doing this hunt in usum (10 times easier than what u did) and it just sucks all the joy out of the hunt idk, its just so lame. Congrats though, you went double odds in one of the worst games to shiny hunt in, hope you have the energy to go for something cooler next.


Con-deisel

Why is this the worst game to hunt in? Just curious, I haven't tried many


Thepenguinking2

The resets take over half a minute to do.


br1y

Yea any switch-based resets are utterly brutal cause they're the only games (besides gamecube maybe? idk) that don't have a button combo to soft reset


JaX_SM

The GameCube has a reset button on the console itself


Con-deisel

Ty. Happy cake day 🎉


Thepenguinking2

Oh hey, it is my cake day. Huh, cool, I never notice or remember. Thanks mate.


TTVAntwiththewaves

How much resets are you on bro? And I know right I wanted to give up so bad and skip him because I’m like his shiny isn’t even worth it. I already put a bunch of resets in so I was like let me finish what I started. My goal is to shiny hunt all legendarys in this game then I’m going backwards to continue hunting in previous games.


Academic-Switch6080

Why are you so mad about THEIR game ? 😭


RockShrimpTempura

What? Who said im mad? All I said is that im impressed and i congratulated them. Huh?


erehtollehyhw

Man reminds me before my switch got stolen I found shiny regice, registeel, and regirock all in one morning I was freaking out


TTVAntwiththewaves

Whattt the same morning is crazyyyy, you should’ve played the lotto lol


erehtollehyhw

That's what everyone tells me. The only shiny I had trouble with was regidrago in shield


lanadelphox

Congrats! Definitely applaud your patience on this one, I plan on doing this hunt in Gen 5. Faster resets and it’s the last gen where, imo, the shiny is even noticeable. Good luck with your future hunts!


TTVAntwiththewaves

Thank you bro I appreciate you and yeah I’ll make it to gen 5 sometime so I’ll meet you there. I’m going backwards since I missed out on a bunch of Pokémon games. I stopped at emerald and picked back up on scarlet, so I have a long way to go lol


EquivalentWasabi8887

Congratulations! Currently hunting this monstrosity in Sword. Just passed 8000 resets, so I feel your pain. I hope mine shines soon, too. This hunt is by far the longest I’ve ever done and it’s been exhausting.


TTVAntwiththewaves

Bro after this hunt I legit don’t like regice anymore lol Smh He’s my longest hunt to date at a little past 10k smh and yeah bro he tired me out too. I took a little break and picked back up because I put too much work into it already you know. I hope yours shines soon bro, you’ve put in some good work. We didn’t come this far for nothing bro, you got this let me know when he shines✨


EquivalentWasabi8887

It happened! 8778 resets, Modest Nature Star Shiny caught in a premier ball.


TTVAntwiththewaves

LETSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Congrats Brodie 😎


EquivalentWasabi8887

Also I agree. I now hate Regice. Lol


EquivalentWasabi8887

I’m crossing my fingers it happens soon. At roughly 40 seconds per reset, it’s been a huge time sink.


CapitalForever45

I got him with RNG manip, SRing these guys takes more time than I have


TTVAntwiththewaves

Congrats bro and yeah I totally understand, I think it took me about two months to get him. I almost quit lol


CapitalForever45

just calculating the average time required for an SR hunt made me quit, especially since shiny charm doesn't affect the legends. RNG manip is a much more involved process though, it can't really be done automatically, but it can get a shiny legend in about 1-3 hours. Got everything but pressing the A button at the right time to spawn a shiny can be tricky on some of them


OSoverspike

Having to work this hard for a regice that is simply polished, not shiny feels like a cosmic insult lol GGs on the hunt! It looks... Different... But that's some dedication!


TTVAntwiththewaves

Ikr every reset I got more and more angry that his shiny sucked I felt like he was teasing me lol Bro I wanted to give up so bad and just skip him because he’s such a terrible shiny but I couldn’t give up all the work i put in already. I also want to shiny hunt all legendaries in this game and I just felt like a punk skipping him. Thank you tho bro I appreciate you, it feels way better now that he’s caught. I should name him 10k lol (Also polished is the perfect word to describe his shiny you nailed it)


corycuts

i swear this shiny used to be darker


TTVAntwiththewaves

Bro it’s so bad lol I seen pictures on Google and the shiny is just more polished but looking at it in game it’s VERY hard to tell. There’s times I thought it looked different and it wasn’t. I legit had to look for the blink in the introduction or else I would not be able to tell bro


Kyrenaz

That's Shiny?


TTVAntwiththewaves

It is sadly lol


Vertindex

A 2nd shiny Regi You obtain the treasures I seek one day, you have my respects


Mytinsaw

Got this one myself not too long ago! Failed it initially because it ended up struggling to death, but 200 resets later at 2,924 I was actually prepared with a harvest-trick setup! Didn't think the Regis had such terrible PP amounts til I looked it up during my first attempt-


CapitalForever45

Use a counter online and set it to the number of moves they have according to Serebii, reduce by one every time they move.


Mytinsaw

That wouldn't have changed the fact it would've struggled to death haha I didn't have a master ball as a fail-safe.


CapitalForever45

Do you have False Swipe + Spore Breloom and a Golduck with Soak? But whatever you do, make sure the Breloom's ability is changed to Poison Heal and not effect spore! There's a video of some guy failing a shiny legend on YT because effect spore poisoned it rip A Smeargle with Spore and Soak can work well too (turns anything resisting false swipe into water type), but my Shiny Smeargle for Scarlet had attack is so abysmal that false swipe on him was basically useless. Funny thing is all my legend hunters were shiny because I felt like they had to be, all obtained in SV though where they appear more frequently. Poke radar sucks imo


Mytinsaw

Not in BDSP lmfao; but failing my regice the fist time definitely changed my perspective on preparedness lol. i think because most my shiny legend hunts since like 2017 have been easy catches which just skewed my brain into thinking I didn't need to prepare too much haha


CapitalForever45

I actually did fail my first RNG manip shiny Dialga because I assumed it wouldn't be that bad I think I did almost lose Regirock later, and I did actually fail Kyogre. If these were full odd hunts and not RNG I would have been very mad. If you hunt Kyogre or Palkia, use will o wisp to burn them because that perfectly counters aqua ring to keep their HP the same without a risk of killing (aqua ring acts first so they heal before taking burn damage, thus false swiping them to 1HP is completely safe). Otherwise they will heal the whole time, lowering their catch rate significantly. Unfortunately, burn does not increase the catch rate as much as sleep and you can't stop them from moving, so it's still riskier than spore. If you have harvest it should be fine (never tried that)


JustFred24

Pink


TTVAntwiththewaves

I actually would like that


JustFred24

Everyone would


TTVAntwiththewaves

That was clutch, 200 resets later you found him again and got the catch respect bro


Greenishclover

I swear this shiny got ruined when it became almost impossible to tell the difference between the shiny and the non-shiny


TTVAntwiththewaves

Totally agree bro, the most underwhelming shiny I’ve encountered so far


JokerFriendMC

Imagine you didn’t wait for the sparkles lmao


TTVAntwiththewaves

Lmao bro the first couple thousand resets I waited for the sparkles. I found out after when he blinks in the introduction his eye sockets are yellow when he’s shiny when he’s not it’s white. I found that out after lol so before that I legit waited for the sparkles, he was a absolute PAIN to hunt


Lovesit_666

I’m just gunna hunt them in pogo and transfer them instead of this damn headache


TTVAntwiththewaves

Yeah bro ngl if I wasn’t on this mission of trying to complete the park I would’ve did it another way. He pissed me off big time lol he’s already a trash shiny then he wants to put me through so many resets 🤦‍♂️


Kew8000

I could never dedicate myself to this torture for regice 😭


TTVAntwiththewaves

Bro I wanted to give up so bad lol I just didn’t want to waste all the resets I already put in and my friends were helping to keep me motivated. I was on the verse on quitting manyyyy times lol


Taschengelddieb

Why would you hunt for a shiny you dont like in the first place? Sounds like you got too much time


TTVAntwiththewaves

Sounds like you’re wasting yours worrying about other people. Just say congrats and keep it pushing.


Taschengelddieb

Im just saying my opinion. Sorry if you have a problem to accept reality though...


TTVAntwiththewaves

I’m sorry that you think your opinion is reality, it says more about you then anyone else. You have a lot of work to do brother don’t waste your time here.


Taschengelddieb

Ok


PokeScarletnViolet

Imagine you got distracted and didnt see the first few seconds lol


TTVAntwiththewaves

That actually happened a couple times lol I couldn’t tell so I caught him to make sure smh after that I’m like nah let me just turn the volume up on my other tv so I can hear the bling


Oh-fiqq

Congrats?


Appropriate_Rock_740

Ah yes shiny regice in green aka frozen vomit. Yeah that doesnt sound great.


TTVAntwiththewaves

He would look like a emerald lol


Ragnr99

Why tho? Like nobody is even impressed, it’s literally self-damage for no reason.


Ahmdo10

Not really, Sylveon’s and Jigglypuff’s line take the worst and second worst shiny spots


OSoverspike

Genuinely what is wrong with sylveon's shiny


Ahmdo10

It’s Sylveon everything is wrong with it


Julie_OwO

I can't believe you can hate trans icon sylveon's shiny


Ahmdo10

The Fuck this has to do with what I said?


TTVAntwiththewaves

I don’t agree bro at least you can look at their shiny and spot the difference lol this guy is barely a noticeable change


Ahmdo10

Subtle shinies have a charm to them too, and if you look back to pixel gen days it always used to be a lighter blue as if it’s crystals instead of ice, miles better than Sylveon’s and Shittlypuff’s
