Shiny hunting Zygarde

[elfin crown]

Skey doesn't sleep. That's his secret.

[sonic field]

Fair I also like waking up early but I also wanna game duality of man

[tacit karma]

@sonic field good mornin! Just woke up myself!

Thinking of running Zygarde briefly, if you’re down for it! If you’d rather wait till the evening though that works too!

@elfin crown @terse venture forgot to ask what your schedules are like, or what would be the best times to do Dynamax Adventures, but I wanted to offer if you’d like to join

[terse venture]

@tacit karma I am currently watching my nephews but will be free around 1230-1-ish. I’m usually free anytime especially this upcoming week.

[tacit karma]

No prob! Have a nice time till then!

[terse venture]

You too bro

[elfin crown]

Same time as yesterday. 5pm (possibly a bit earlier depending on when work gets done) is when I'll be ready.

[tacit karma]

Roger that!

[sonic field]

Good morning to you as well

I am free to run some

[tacit karma]

Oh sweet! It looks like it would only be us right now, so if we each use 2 systems, we could still use our route!

I’m good for like, an 1.5 hours rn?

That way we could take a break until Mimi & Fly are free

[sonic field]

Sure lets do that

[tacit karma]

Alright!

Code is up, 1212-1214, invite out now!

[elder remnant]

i'm free for a run or two

[sonic field]

BigRig

[tacit karma]

Oh Hellyea! We just started a run, but I’ll @ you once it finishes!

You can sub in for my 2nd system!

[sonic field]

Do you still have your saved path as well?

[tacit karma]

Ah true, Rig did have the best path

Whatever we decide, we’ll make sure you can join!

[sonic field]

Weakness policy nice 👀

[tacit karma]

[sonic field]

Ah nice

[tacit karma]

If you wanna lead, I’m down!

[sonic field]

You'll lose yours tho Stevo

[tacit karma]

I’ll only use 1 system, and you can still use 2 Skey

I’ll just not use my main w/the Zygarde path

[elder remnant]

ahh good idea

well let me know when you're ready for me to set it up

[tacit karma]

It won’t be shiny charm odds, but it’s not like those odds have been fruitful yet lol

[sonic field]

Ah kk fair enough

[tacit karma]

All set boss

What’s the plan Rig? I know you said you could only do a few runs, but we do owe Fly a chance

Ohhh my b

[sonic field]

Oh

[elder remnant]

I can do a few more

[tacit karma]

I’ve also got Rayquaza and Necrozma saved currently

[sonic field]

I got Lunala and Buzzwole as my other paths. Saved Zygarde recently just in case

[elder remnant]

i've got rayquaza and giratina

I might farm rayquaza for ore once I run out

Just be ready

Glad to be proven wrong

I can run one more before I wanna take a break if y'all down for it

[elder remnant]

sure

[tacit karma]

Sounds like a plan!

[elder remnant]

anyone get any nice shinies lately?

[sonic field]

On a total dry streak for like 1 or 2 weeks at least

[tacit karma]

Almost a month ago, I finally got Shiny Feebas in Emerald!

[elder remnant]

nice!

full odds hunt?

[sonic field]

That's sick!

[tacit karma]

Not really no, I used RNG manipulation lol

I’ve been doing that with the older games

It’s nice to see shiny sprites in the older generations

[elder remnant]

oh nice

[tacit karma]

Been doing the same with Colosseum rn

[elder remnant]

I think my DS is on the fritz 😦

the battery seems to be dying

[tacit karma]

Ouch 🫤

[elder remnant]

but today I got a male shiny scyther that I needed

and some cyndaquils as well from pogo

[tacit karma]

Nice!

[elder remnant]

https://pokedextracker.com/u/TimmerousD/shiny-living-dex

trying to finish up Kanto lately

[tacit karma]

This attempt might be rough with 2 red health Pokémon

We may be able to pull a win with Wide Guard tho

[elder remnant]

we should be fine

still got 4 lives

[sonic field]

Power of friendship clutching up trust

[tacit karma]

We’ll have to hold out on damaging it, since we lost our Fake Tears mon

[elder remnant]

yup

curse Glalie's slow speed 😦

oooh defense cheer at least

[tacit karma]

Shoot, it’s been using Max Quake and boosting its SpDef

[elder remnant]

gonna fake tears 1 more time then attack

FUARK

[sonic field]

Aww man

[tacit karma]

We’re not done yet

We still have like 4 turns left

It still has -2 SpDef

Probs should Frost Breath and Leaf Storm this turn

Nice clutch!

[elder remnant]

gg

[tacit karma]

GL!

[elder remnant]

bonne chance!

[sonic field]

Nice GL!

that's all for me tonight

3am here

thanks for joining all 🙂

[sonic field]

Yup ty Rig!
Had some lovely runs

[terse venture]

Got you thanks bro

[elder remnant]

i'll host another 3 or whatever when I can

[tacit karma]

ohhh yeah! Thanks for letting us tag along!

[elder remnant]

then i'll run something else

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-fire-house-burning-okay-gif-5263684

[tacit karma]

You guys wanna run my path once more, or do you wanna call for a break too?

I’m fine either way

[terse venture]

I can run for the next hour and then it is community day

[sonic field]

Imma go for dinner now
But I can be there later when Mimikyu is also gonna be here

[terse venture]

OK, I’ll see everybody later today

[tacit karma]

Okay! Guess we’ll call it a wrap for now unless a 4th party shows up in the chat!

Thanks again!

[sonic field]

Alrighty. Thx a lot for running the set paths 🙏

[elfin crown]

Should be home around top of the hour.

[tacit karma]

@elfin crown @terse venture @sonic field anybody still down for some more Zygardes this evening?

[elfin crown]

Yup.

[tacit karma]

We’ll need at least one more party

[terse venture]

On my way home now the to hop on

[tacit karma]

Hella!

[sonic field]

Oh hey! Yup I can be ready in like 10

[tacit karma]

No sweat that’d work out!

[terse venture]

I’m ready

[sonic field]

Feel free to do one without me

[tacit karma]

Just give me a sec, finishing dinner

Sorry to take so long, almost ready, I’m also trying to get back to the Dynamax Adventures on my 2nd system

I don’t have the Corvinight Taxi or the bike yet, so I’ve gotta walk

Gotta power through some of the tutorial, so by the time that finishes Skey might be back 🥲

[terse venture]

I swear they should’ve never got rid of the Larios flying technique from Oras

[tacit karma]

Fr

Something similar would’ve been nice for the wild areas

I guess they technically did that with Braviary in Legends Arceus

[terse venture]

Plus add the shiny sound back

[tacit karma]

Frrr

Now these stupid team skill guys are holding me up at the hotel 😭

And Sonia’s yapping about lore

[terse venture]

Hahahaha

[tacit karma]

Guys I just wanna go back to the Tundra and freeze trying to get funny snek man

[sonic field]

back

Where da @elfin crown

[tacit karma]

Oh thank goodness you’re back

[tacit karma]

here we go!

[sonic field]

Ah didn't start yet

[tacit karma]

Nah, I proceeded with story on the 2nd system so I need to advance before the game gives me the air taxi to fly back to the DLC

But if you, Mimi, and Fly are all here, then we can get started!

So we just need Mimi back

[sonic field]

Oh lmao gotta walk there each time huh

[tacit karma]

mhm

But if I advance a little further, should get that feature again

I’ll start up the lobby

[sonic field]

Yeah it's not too long iirc

[tacit karma]

If we’re not all in my 30 seconds, I’ll reset the room

Or Skey, you can use a 2nd system until Mimi comes back?

[elfin crown]

Hello

[sonic field]

Speaking of the angel

[elfin crown]

Was making dinner.

[sonic field]

Yum

[tacit karma]

Back up!

Wait

Okay, now we’re back up!

[sonic field]

[elfin crown]

Finding the strat.

Did the path change?

[sonic field]

No

[elfin crown]

My bad Mimikyu

[elfin crown]

Zygarde mons are Swoobat, A-Slash, Gourgeist, and Hat?

[tacit karma]

Mhm

Our turn order’s a bit off since we’re using different stuff right now of course, but the above changes have us more success

[sonic field]

Did I miss my dyna

[tacit karma]

Not sure

This attempt may be a dud, but we’ll see what happens

[sonic field]

Ah almost

watch me

Fail...

GL!

[terse venture]

✨✨

[sonic field]

Nuttin

[terse venture]

None

[elfin crown]

No shiny.

[sonic field]

Stevo got consumed by Zygarde. He is now one of many we feel the presence of

[tacit karma]

Back up!

[sonic field]

You made it out alive

I'm having connection issues reconnecting rq

[tacit karma]

Np!

[sonic field]

Omg idk what's going on

[tacit karma]

Sorry guys, 10 minute break. Gotta talk to family for a sec

[sonic field]

Oh alright no worries!

[tacit karma]

Hate to keep putting everything on hold. That’s why I went quiet during Zygarde

[sonic field]

You're good

[tacit karma]

Ok, I’m back!

[sonic field]

Hi back

[tacit karma]

dammit

I fell into it

1212-1214 is up!

[sonic field]

Ay finally

[tacit karma]

@elfin crown @terse venture sorry for the wait!

[elfin crown]

p3 and p4 instructions for zygarde are mixed up btw.

[tacit karma]

Ok! I think I amended it

Invite out again!

@terse venture everything ok?

I’ll use my 2nd system again for now

[sonic field]

👌

[tacit karma]

Don’t wanna keep peeps waiting

[sonic field]

Was about to call in reinforcements myself lol

[terse venture]

My bad was putting my daughters down. I’m ready again.

[sonic field]

Oh heya!

We're on slash rn

[tacit karma]

We’ll start a new run soon!

Might be another 10-15 minutes, but we’ll @ you

[terse venture]

Cool

[tacit karma]

I’m still debating it, but…I’m wondering what switching out Gourgeist for Lycanroc could accomplish 😮

I say this because while Lycanroc is frailer and weak to ground, you could potentially use Howl in tandem with Simple+Swords Dance

It could get to +5 or +6

[sonic field]

Does he outspeed zyg?

[tacit karma]

But of course that banks on Lycanroc not dying to Max Quake or something

I’d like to think it outspeeds

Lycanroc’s like 101?

[elfin crown]

Bouff didn't dyna btw.

[tacit karma]

Thank you for keeping track of that

[sonic field]

[tacit karma]

Anyhow, it’s just some brainstorming

I think this strat works well enough as is

[elfin crown]

Bosses are level 70 right?

[sonic field]

Yes

Gl

[tacit karma]

GL!

Snek?! SHINE for one of us

[sonic field]

🙏

[tacit karma]

Preferably Skey or mimikyu

[sonic field]

Woah

[elfin crown]

@terse venture Done with run.

[terse venture]

Cool

[sonic field]

Ty

No shiny unfortunately

[tacit karma]

I’m just saying cuz if I did, I’d have to end the path

Nada for me either

Better someone other than the host gets it

[sonic field]

I'd be fine with that if it comes down to it I'll search for a path as well

[tacit karma]

Aww thanks

Okay, I’m gonna need to make a Gen 6 pentagram or something tomorrow, this is getting nuts

“You owe me 10 ore.”
“Mam, you owe us a Shiny Snek”

[sonic field]

Make sure it's eco friendly and only use environmental friendly fake blood so he don't get mad

[tacit karma]

that’s why it’s not working, I got careless 😔

Invite out now!

[elfin crown]

.

[tacit karma]

@terse venture back up muchacho!

[terse venture]

Cool

[elfin crown]

[tacit karma]

Forgor to take the Lycanroc, it’s ok

Thankfully Swoobat goes down easily

Take it!

[sonic field]

[tacit karma]

Think somebody’s referring to the outdated format

[elfin crown]

Think we all need to read the layout.

[tacit karma]

GourGeist can Dynamax here

[sonic field]

Doesn't matter

Swoobat can to save dyna for gourgeist at Zyg

Oh? Uhhhh

[tacit karma]

Did you disconnect?

Connection’s still good on my end but

[elfin crown]

Before we start another run, we're getting on the same plan.

[sonic field]

He didn't take Hatterene

[tacit karma]

Shoot

[sonic field]

speed control dyna ice can save us hopefully as long as slash lives

Good call on the berry

Dont use avalanche

We outspeed so we can kill without neg priority

Oh wait it wiped

Ah speed swap

Phew!

[tacit karma]

GL!

[sonic field]

Gl

No shiny

[tacit karma]

Nothing

[elfin crown]

@terse venture fyi, the plan was adjusted. We're using some different mons and moves now.

[terse venture]

Okay my bad

[tacit karma]

All good!

[elfin crown]

Nw. Just making sure we're all on the same page.

[tacit karma]

Back up!

Hope you all are at least able to accrue extra ore

[sonic field]

Gets me good beast balls

[tacit karma]

Not it giving the Dynamax Pokémon Simple before a Max move

It gave us plus 2

Silly bat

[sonic field]

He on our team

[tacit karma]

That will mean the turn order for D-Max is slightly different, so just be prepared

[sonic field]

Once a pokémon is dmaxed it stops the count for others actually

[tacit karma]

Oh shoot I didn’t know that either

[sonic field]

It's like those 3 turns never happened

[tacit karma]

Cool!

[sonic field]

Could think about simple beaming bull

For a max knuckle and faster clear with max steel

[tacit karma]

Ok!

[sonic field]

Nice

[tacit karma]

Amendment added!

That was way easier

[sonic field]

F it we orb

[tacit karma]

Let’s Go!!

Got me

XD

[tacit karma]

Hehe

This Snek will be my demise

[sonic field]

our*

[tacit karma]

Swear if Legends ZA comes out before

Gonna be sad

Back up!

Anybody been crafting nicknames for their eventual Shiny Zygarde?

[elfin crown]

.

[sonic field]

I'll just name it Skeygarde as I do with every mon lmao

[tacit karma]

Lol nice

trademarked and everything

[sonic field]

Ma brand

[tacit karma]

I’m thinking…Emerald, or Orochi, but I’m not sure

Could use some more thinking

[terse venture]

Idk yet

[sonic field]

Those are a pretty good start for naming tho

[tacit karma]

I may settle for Orochi

Better look at all the Snek demons in Persona and SMT for reference

[sonic field]

I hope we can set the names in dynite ore frfr

[sonic field]

SMT?

[tacit karma]

Oh Shin Megami Tensei, the sister series of Persona

[sonic field]

Ahh

[tacit karma]

I mean, I guess it’s more original

Really only discovered both games in the last 4-5 years when Persona 5 released, and I’ve been playing backwards in the series and enjoying the games a lot

And referring to the demons and personas in said games as reference for Pokémon nicknames

[sonic field]

Oh neat! I'm not much into that franchise but sounds cool

[tacit karma]

Yeah!

[elfin crown]

I was supposed to take.

[sonic field]

Body the snek for paralysis

[elfin crown]

P1: Swoobat
P2: Gourgeist
P3: Hatterene
P4: A-Sandslash

[tacit karma]

Yeah, but we’ll just have to make due for this attempt now

Oof

[sonic field]

That's a doozy

3 Atk cheers and play rough carry lmao

Ah well heal at least lol

Speed swap slash if it has dyna

It do

[tacit karma]

C’mon we can still win this!

[sonic field]

Dang we needed speed control bad

Rip

[tacit karma]

Yeah, Gourgeist is invaluable with Scary Face

Code up!

[tacit karma]

. don’t forget to scroll up to see the swap out order

[elfin crown]

I take.

[sonic field]

Like the combo of crippling it's SpAtk and buffing our Def. Hatterene can't do much to us now compared to how it was

[tacit karma]

Why is Hatterene attacking 🥲

[terse venture]

Bc everyone was healed up lol

[sonic field]

But hat slow so we'll be attacked

Couldn't dyna

[tacit karma]

It should be a failsafe so by the time when Hatterene gets to act and we’ve all been hit, that we can count on healing

[sonic field]

Gl

[tacit karma]

Thankfully it worked out, GL!

[terse venture]

✨✨

Nope

[sonic field]

No shiny

[tacit karma]

Nothing

How’re we doing timewise for everyone?

[terse venture]

I’m cool

[sonic field]

My sleep schedule is fucked we good xd

[elfin crown]

I'm fine.

[tacit karma]

I can probably go for another hour, 1.5 hours max, but then I’ll have to call it

Invite out now!

[sonic field]

Sounds good

[elfin crown]

.

[sonic field]

Rip slash

Hatterene play rough Atk Cheer 🗣️

[elfin crown]

We can probably do the same setup tbh. I'll dyna and lower it's defense.

[sonic field]

Slash is outspeeding the bat now isn't it

+6 we ball

[terse venture]

Wtf

[sonic field]

He a hater

[elfin crown]

This is just bad luck.

We're still fine. In a way.

[sonic field]

Bruh

Another Def reset

[tacit karma]

We might lose not to Zygarde itself, but the raid’s 10 turn timer

Got like 2-3 turns left I think

[sonic field]

Yeh +6

Only chance

Ggs team

[tacit karma]

Nice!!

[terse venture]

Yes

[tacit karma]

GL!

[sonic field]

Well earned shiny snek

[terse venture]

✨

[tacit karma]

We did really well recovering

[terse venture]

Surviving lol

[sonic field]

No shiny

[terse venture]

Nope

[elfin crown]

No shiny

[tacit karma]

Nothing wtf

[sonic field]

Crazy

[elfin crown]

1-2 more runs Stevo?

[tacit karma]

Yup

2 should be fine

I would say more, but let’s limit our own torture

[elfin crown]

That's fine. Planning other things so good to know how much time we have.

[sonic field]

There's only so much Zyg one can take

[tacit karma]

If you’ve gotta leave sooner though, don’t let us hold you up! We’ve got additional systems

[elfin crown]

DOn't have to no.

Waiting on others.

[tacit karma]

Ah gotcha np

Room’s back up!

[sonic field]

Crit Avalanche this guy smh

Damn

[tacit karma]

Double damn

[elfin crown]

Doing that in the middle of a turn is a cheat.

Max knuckle ig

[tacit karma]

Yeah between all the Attack drops and Power Construct, it’s a wrap

Ugh

[sonic field]

Little shi-

[tacit karma]

I’ve one more in me

[sonic field]

Lucky last 🤞

[tacit karma]

[elfin crown]

Was going to say, that was a crit.

[sonic field]

Zyg wants to get rid off us so bad

[elfin crown]

I don't want to hit it, so I'm max guarding.

Never mind.

Ran out of time.

[sonic field]

Gl peeps

[tacit karma]

Please

[terse venture]

[elfin crown]

Bro being inconsistent for no reason.

[sonic field]

[elfin crown]

No shiny.

[terse venture]

Nope

[tacit karma]

Today is not that day

[sonic field]

No deaths but felt like 3 died lol

[tacit karma]

Ah well, there’ll be more chances, but for now that’s enough for tonight

[sonic field]

Mhm

[tacit karma]

As always thanks guys!

[sonic field]

Ty again Stevo. You're the goat for hosting

[tacit karma]

Happy to help, quite literally couldn’t have done this otherwise

May run once again tomorrow!

For now though, have a good night!

[sonic field]

I might not be around tomorrow. Just letting ya know but we'll see

[tranquil ore]

hey I want to hunt shiny zygarde but i cant host unfortunately because i dont have enough ores to save routes. Can I join someones group?

[elfin crown]

You could join the path we have if we're down someone.

[tranquil ore]

nice. tell me when you are free

[tacit karma]

@tranquil ore hello! I’ve been hosting one of the more successful paths the last few days. We may be down a person today, so you’re welcome to sub in if you’d like!

I’m in EST, and it’s almost 10:30am now. I’ll be home for the day, so if we can get at least 2-3 more people (I’ve 2 switches so I could afford to double-up, worst case scenario), I’m happy to run more Zygardes!

[fringe beacon]

LF 2 (Third and Fourth Slot) for successful route. 9 runs left

Third - Chansey, Helping Hands and Healing Pulse spam. No Swap

Fourth - Hitmonchan, Icepunch spam. Dynamax third fight (Normal). no Swap.

Path - Ghost, Flying, & Normal
Scientist - Nidoking (position 1, I swap)
Backpacker

[tranquil ore]

hello! can i dm you?

[tacit karma]

I mean I’m cool with just talking here

If you’re more comfortable whatever works

@elfin crown we may be able to do some runs soon? Up in the air

[tranquil ore]

yea also works for me

I am in Mesz so its 17:15 right now so i cant do all day but enough time for some runs

[tacit karma]

6 hours ahead, got it!

Well we’ll need at least one more person before we can run it. Let me reach out to someone real quick, may get a response

[tranquil ore]

yea do that. tell me when you are ready

[elfin crown]

I'm around yup.

[tacit karma]

@tranquil ore okay! We can start shortly, like less than 10 minutes!

[tranquil ore]

okay

nice

[tacit karma]

Also! Here’s a layout of the plan we’ve been using for successful runs:

1212 1214
P1: Marshtomp
P2: Gourgeist
P3: Bouffalant
P4: Lycanroc

R L L

Swoobat (P1 swaps)
P1: Max Hailstorm
P2: Shadow Sneak
P3: Lash Out
P4: Howl

Alolan Sandslash (P4 swaps)
P1: Speed Swap on Gourgeist, Air Slash
P2: Max Flare, Max Flare
P3: Superpower
P4: Howl

Hatterene (P3 swaps)
P1: Simple Beam on Bouffalang, Speed Swap on Bouffalant
P2: Shadow Sneak
P3: Max Knuckle, Max Steelspike

Zygarde
P1: Simple Beam on Sandslash, Speed Swap on Hatterene
P2: Scary Face for Speed control, and/Max Phantasm for Def drop
P3: Life Dew spam
P4: Swords Dance, Avalanche

[elfin crown]

Please follow it.

[tacit karma]

Everyone connected online?

[tranquil ore]

yea

[elfin crown]

Do you want to be P1 and P2 Stevo?

Just for simplicity.

[tacit karma]

Okay! Invite has been set; 1212-1214

Sure

Okay, you can join now!

[tranquil ore]

i am in

[tacit karma]

So just make sure to get Lycanroc when it shows up!

And follow the guide, and we should be good!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

[elfin crown]

Hopefully Zygarde isn't a pos like it was yesterday.

[tacit karma]

Fr, hopefully so 😔

[elfin crown]

The one run where it wiped stats twice, and we barely had enough time.

[tacit karma]

Yeah that was abysmal

[elfin crown]

Oh, Yoshi, we encounter a backpacker right before Ziggy. Look out for Expert Belt/Life Orb/ Muscle Band/Focus Sash.

Sandslash is our main attacker, and those items help a lot.

[tranquil ore]

yea will do

[tacit karma]

And if you need to stop at any point—since you said you’re 6 hours ahead, and it’s already the evening—just say so! We’ve no issue taking breaks, cuz this one can get annoying and tedious real quick

[tranquil ore]

yea thanks guys

[elfin crown]

Mainly bc Ziggy decides to be an ass.

For hat as Slash, I was using Swords Dance once then using Rock Slide.

[tranquil ore]

but its more of a gamble than avalanche

[elfin crown]

Yes, but Avalanche is negative priority.

Hat has a chance to confuse you, and if you hit yourself with boosted attack, you deal more damage to yourself.

[tacit karma]

Yeah, you have to bet on Hatterene not killing. Rock Slide’s accuracy might be worse, but you can still attack before her

[elfin crown]

Perfect.

I take.

[tranquil ore]

nice

[tacit karma]

And now, hopefully, Zygarde isn’t terrible to us

[tranquil ore]

btw after that round i will buy pokeballs. didnt notice i was low

got expert belt

nice

[elfin crown]

Perfect.

[clever anvil]

Do you guys have space?

[tacit karma]

We will briefly yes!

I’ll drop my 2nd switch, that way you can join

[clever anvil]

Awesome I appreciate it

[tranquil ore]

that hit hard

[tacit karma]

We’re close!

As long as it doesn’t clear stat buffs, we should be in the clear

Nice!

GL!

[tranquil ore]

nice

one of many

[elfin crown]

No shiny.

Or deaths.

[tacit karma]

Nothing

[tranquil ore]

sadly

[tacit karma]

Break to stock up on pokeballs and/or bathroom breaks

[tranquil ore]

i will restock balls

[elfin crown]

@clever anvil While we wait, here is our roadmap for Zygarde.

[tacit karma]

Ok, we’ll start back up briefly!

[clever anvil]

I’m player 4 I’m assuming?

[tranquil ore]

ich think 999 will be enough

[tacit karma]

Depends how the game lets you join

We play it by ear

[tranquil ore]

so i am stocked up

tell me when you are ready

[elfin crown]

Tbf, joining in an order would be more efficient, but we've been mostly fine if positions change.

[tranquil ore]

id like stay p4 in that case

[tacit karma]

Ok! 1212-1214, invite out now!

[tranquil ore]

p3 then

[elfin crown]

All roles get to do a little something.

[tacit karma]

We can’t guarantee wins, but I’d say it’s decent!

[elfin crown]

P3 is easy for Garde. Just spam Life Dew.

[tranquil ore]

ye ye

[elder remnant]

[tacit karma]

^ this guy however, has a much more successful path, cuz it has Wide Guard

How’re you Rig?

[elder remnant]

but is about to be bankrupt on dynite ore

need a bailout from the federal government of Arceus

pretty good

[tacit karma]

It be like that

We just started a run, but if you need help or want to join us next run, just say so!

Know you’re in a different time zone so it’s probably late

[elder remnant]

yeh it's 2am, but it's gonna be a late one tonight

[tacit karma]

If anybody wants to tag along Rig once we finish this run, go for it! I intend to run more Zygarde attempts around 6~7pm ish EST

[elder remnant]

wife is watching Gabs play the Elden Ring dlc on the tv next to me, so I don't think we're going to bed anytime soon

[tacit karma]

Lol fair enough

[elfin crown]

Oh John, let us know if you have questions.
We encounter a backpacker right before Ziggy. Look out for Expert Belt/Life Orb/Muslce Band/Focus Sash.

[elder remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/gab-smolders-holidays-christmas-santa-triangle-gif-24225553

i'll probably do a few of my runs in between if you guys are keen

[clever anvil]

Will do thank you!

[turbid crescent]

.smalljohn has given 1 Gen Rep to mimikyuti

[tranquil ore]

oh shoot

sorry

[tacit karma]

You’re good! I forgot Max Knuckle once too

We should still be good

[elfin crown]

Oof.

Right. Priority doesn't work on Psychic terrain.

[tacit karma]

It seems like an odd choice to use against Hatterene, but it has good synergy with Simple Beam, giving D!Max Bouffalant +2 attack

[elfin crown]

We're conditioned to not use not very effective moves.

[tacit karma]

Exactly

[elfin crown]

Pavolvian moment.

Hat be stalling Zygarde.

[tranquil ore]

thats bad

[tacit karma]

Darn, sometimes the Snek gets smart

[elfin crown]

We're still fine.

[tacit karma]

We can comeback from this though

[elfin crown]

First death I think.

[tranquil ore]

should i still heal?

[tacit karma]

Yup!

[elfin crown]

Yes.

[tranquil ore]

okay

[elfin crown]

We do the same setup again.

Well,. sort of.

[tacit karma]

Plus side, we get the defense drops on Zygarde from Max Phantasm

As long as we don’t damage it too much, we may be able to take it out before it goes in Phase 2

[clever anvil]

Should I go for the avalanche?

[tacit karma]

Think so yeah

I’ll take that chance, it’s on me

[elfin crown]

-3 now.

[tacit karma]

Rip

[tranquil ore]

unfortunate

[elfin crown]

Yup.

[tacit karma]

It just happens sometimes and there’s nothing we can do about it. We did everything right

[elder remnant]

[tacit karma]

We could try physical attack spam if we don’t all die

Go all out

Even Hatterene

[tranquil ore]

okay

[elfin crown]

It wiped it's defense drops.

[elder remnant]

you guys got this

[elfin crown]

Oh wait. I just noticed.

[tacit karma]

Rip

We tried lol

[tranquil ore]

unlucky

[tacit karma]

No way we take out Power Construct

[tranquil ore]

maybe luck will be on our side

[elfin crown]

Unless it uses Bind twice in a row for some reason.

Nope.

[tacit karma]

Good effort!

[tranquil ore]

if it didnt target slash man

gg

[clever anvil]

Gg

[elfin crown]

That's it essentially.

[tacit karma]

You’re up boss!

If Rig’s ready, I’ll sit out for a bit since there’s 5 of us active in chat~

[elder remnant]

[elfin crown]

Nah, go ahead. I can sit out for a round. Get you a bit of ore back.

[tacit karma]

I’ll cheer on lmao

You sure?

[elfin crown]

Yup.

[tacit karma]

I mean, I’d be using my 2nd system without shiny charm. Can’t use my main file, or I lose Zygarde path

[elfin crown]

Oh right. The path would be messed up on your main.

Because that's how this game works.

[tacit karma]

Yeah

Don’t worry! This’ll give me a chance to progress in game 2, complete more of the dex

@elfin crown @elder remnant @clever anvil @tranquil ore y’all just talk things out~

nice

btw does not taking the pokemon higher the zygarde chances? or this doesnt matter at all?

[elfin crown]

Doesn't matter at all.

[elder remnant]

1/300 without charm

[elfin crown]

If I'm not switching, I tend to not catch the mon, unless it's something I like the shiny of.

[elder remnant]

1/100 with it

[elfin crown]

^

[tranquil ore]

without it it would be painful

[elfin crown]

Yup.

It's nice having a consistent 1% chance to get it every run though.

[tranquil ore]

yea

but didnt get any shinies with the charm yet

[elfin crown]

You will eventually.

[tranquil ore]

yea but a little unlucky

[elfin crown]

Increased odds /= guarantee.

I mean, I guess, but the odds are still low.

[tranquil ore]

guaranteed

eventually

[elfin crown]

Took me around 1k eggs to get shiny Froakie, I hatched a shiny Honedge in 18 eggs unintentionally. Just RNG things.

[tranquil ore]

yea

i already shiny hunted with full odds with sr i enjoyed that a lot. like it more than dynamax

[elfin crown]

I do understand where you're coming from though, and I'm not trying to be facetious. RNG is just numbers after all. Sometimes you win easily, sometimes you get screwed hard.

[tranquil ore]

yea RNG can be so bad sometimes

[elder remnant]

it's been a dry few days

noone has even phased lately

couple of people in here got their toothpaste snek recently tho

[tranquil ore]

hopefully i am lucky with that. its a hard one

[elfin crown]

StingReyy got it a few days ago.

[elder remnant]

yup, Greenmenace also

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-so-gif-18681605

i've seen many over a long time

[elfin crown]

Guy in a server I'm in that masudas a lot, and complains when it doesn't happen right away. He's been over odds quite a few times, but my guy. It's RNG. Live with it.

[elder remnant]

[tranquil ore]

sad reality

[elfin crown]

I didn't get a shiny Eevee in PLA with 1/128 odds. I cried for three weeks and wouldn't come out of the house. I was fine about it.

Sir.

[elder remnant]

hate to break up the debate but can we focus on fast runs xD 3am here

[elfin crown]

That was rude.

Not you Rig, Zygarde.

[elder remnant]

lmao

[tranquil ore]

the funny thing in PLA i dont get the shinies i want

[elder remnant]

yeh same

so many geodudes in PLA lately

[elfin crown]

We should be fine still.

[tranquil ore]

luckily he is using a lot of spread moves

[elfin crown]

It'd be great if host had the capability to turn off animations.

Runs would be even faster.

2 HP gang.

[tranquil ore]

is it even possible in multiplayer?

[elder remnant]

nope just single

would be cool tho

It’s a personal ritual, a reminder that there ARE shinies in this mode and I’m not completely crazy lol

If you’re tired though, it can wait till another day!

Hey
I'll take a rest for today tbh. Can be there tomorrow tho

[tacit karma]

Not a problem! We’ll aim for tomorrow!

[tacit karma]

No Zygarde hunts from me tonight, only because I’m going to the movies with my sister and one of our friends

Movie’s viewing starts at 7:15 or 7:30pm, so I’d imagine the earliest I’d be home is 9:30pm
