#Shiny hunting Zygarde
1 messages · Page 7 of 1
maybe he wont switch
dang... thats the first ive seen this move all day
They switch 90% of the time
maybe one of us should switch then
rip
I would help but I work tonight won't be off until 8 pm my timezone
& I work the next 4 days
ah. appreciate it anyway
I'll try to join tonight after work but got a family gathering after work but lmk when u get a set path
I'll try to join tomorrow at least until I leave for work anyways
cool will do
Just ping me when u get a good enough path I'm game to hunt this shiny
Definitely have to have this shiny since Legends ZA will probably shiny lock it like XY games
probably will
They did the other 2 legends Xerneus & Yvetal & Mewtwo too
dang XD knocked out by hail
its alright, would have happened no matter who dynamaxed
i just wish my cheer was the heal cheer
huge freeze
yes! frozen!
well that was unfair
i have a feeling we may lose this one....
it seems to be a 50/50 chance of winning with 2 but 3 or 4 would be ideal
yep if it wasnt hailing then i think we definitly would have lost
well thats good
wide guard mon!
right
oh which one?
yes path looks good
i guess ill be keeping this path for a while
i love it, this guy hasn't landed one hit
2nd win nice
i think im gonna keep this path even if i get shiny zygarde cus i wanna keep the path to help you and the other guy
oh btw since i have the perfect path ill need to be the host so ill let you know when ive set it up
lol if u get a shiny u keep it but otherwise im all for keeping the path :D
@soft jacinth i believe i have found the perfect 3 person run. 2 ice mons right out the gate and a wideguarder as one of the first choices
just wanna check that youre not waiting in the lobby? dont wanna risk losing the path if you are the player 1
no waiting for you to tell me to join
No I'm not gonna be on my switch a while
im in the lobby now
I'll try to join after the family thing tonight or before work tomorrow
dw im gonna be saving the path
Good
If you guys need another person I can join
yes but we just started
ill let you know when we are done
btw you should pick porygon next run so you can dyna right away
then he cant kill it with a fighting move
if we have a third i wont be picking the ice moves cus then we can have 2 when we get to zygarde.
unless someone else takes kingler
yes thats what i meant i can take kingler then
ah ok imma write up a path guide to see if we can use it for a flawless run
yes
also idk if going luxray afterwards is optimal
the other options might be faster because they arent as tanky
i think we need to do a few rounds to find the optimal run
so next round ill take porygon, you take basculin, if that guy joins us he can take mudsdale and he can swap for kingler so we know what the bot will take
wanna try normal?
sure
lets hope it knocks you out so we can have you on full health for zygarde
should i knock you out? just in case it doesnt hit you
never mind
hahahah nvm
good thing we are doing test runs
hey! you okay to do test runs if you join us? we have a really good 3-4 person path and are just looking for the optimal run
lets try going kingler -> haunter next run
Yea thats ok, ready to go whenever
we are at zygarde now
and still lost
XD
ok so this run ill take porygon, Skl1895 take Mudsdale and Shuan take Basculin
code is 1236 9874 and room is up
Ok got it. Joining now
kingler moved....
wait what happened?
this may be good
ill assume it moved the mons around because we chose different ones at the start
also may be because theres 3 of us now
ohhh
still might work out for the best
ill take mudsdale next run then
i thought metang had an electro move so its better for the first fight
wait does it not?
yes but if its not kingler than it itsnt as useful
no one take this one
ah
metang switch to kingler
y
wide guard
Should be ok
so kingler just spam wideguard
ive gotta go for a while after this den but will @ when i am back
No problem thanks for the host
okay thanks for the runs if its not too long ill join again later :D
if @glad orchid is still here we could do some more runs i guess
@rose sinew sorry wont be able to do anymore runs today but will be able to do more tomorrow
idk if im available tomorrow well see
i found an even faster path though at least for 4 people
nice! i need to figure out if joining someone elses path gets rid of mine cus it would be nice to have one in reserve if the host finds the shiny and we lose a path
idk how it works maybe someone else can clarify
from what ive read online it says itll use player 1s saved path and it shouldnt affect the other players saved paths so unless someone can clarify we can always risk it and find out next time we play
okay perfect. I hope we can find a group of 4. Im playing online right now and people are so stupid
Yup
Do you have the path saved @pseudo cloud ? If so even if we don’t get everyone on I’d appreciate if I could get someone to let me run it so I can save the run myself
I do have the path saved but I don't have the time to do it tonight. I'll be playing tomorrow so I can @ you when I play
Awesome, thank you so much!
Lmk I can help with the 4 player path
Gonna do a few runs if someone wants to join
@rose sinew @soft jacinth @drifting sedge im free now if any of you wanna do some zygardes?
@ me if you wanna do some I'm pretty much free for the rest of the day
@rose sinew you wanna do some zygardes?
can do let me know when you are on and ill get it up judt doing a thing atm
Will do
@rose sinew @pseudo cloud ping me when yall are ready too! I’ll join
@pseudo cloud @drifting sedge im ready starting the game rn
I’m ready
ill wait till @pseudo cloud is ready and then ill start
Hi again guys. I can join as well
sure with 4 its perfect
Hell yeah
just loading up, we doing ur new path?
my path has accelgor froslass sigilyph and boltund at the start
we go mienshao -> roselia -> kadabra which should all be 1 turn kills
dog might have to swap for mienshao for zygarde fight im not 100% sure if its needed
mienshao has wideguard
Code is 1478 9632
It would be safer with mienshao
yeye i know but its might not even needed
because accelgor with accid just melts the boss
ive seen zygarde go down in 2 turns
do you go through zygarde without it constructing?
What ball do I catch him in? Should I do luxury ball or premier?
i couldnt really test since the randoms were doing a lot of different things
sometimes it worked sometimes not
im doing premier, but thats cus i catch all DA legends in them depends on what you think matches it better
also depends on if you are looking for the shiny
I am, I’m gonna name him crest I think
rehosted since someone wasnt there yet
Sorry it wasn't connecting for me
are you connected online?
Yea, whats the code agaib
1478 9632
4th person should pick froslass so we get dynamax at the boss
also make sure to use special moves
You got it boss
What mon am i picking at P2
I'm gonna restart my game
tell me when to join
yeah im waiting for him to confirm hes ready then ill start the lobby again
Ready to search
kk
we cant really choose the order since there will be a lickitung and a froslass on the screen
so just pick neither unless youre 4th
Its still not connecting for me
I'm online it just might be my wifi
are you putting the code in right?
Yea i am
have you tried powering your switch off and turning it back on? that worked for me when i had connection issues last time
I'll try that after
How about you guys do one. I try again the next one after I restart my wifi
should i take this one?
sigiliph should swap i think
ok
Got it
want me to dynamax?
just spam acid
got it
with sigilyph we 1 shot it now we need 2 turns
so its a clean run with 4 people then
yes
no accelgor is too important
ok hope theres some berries somewhere lol
2x dmg for whole team and 4x on the second turn
with 4 people that would be a kadabra now
but this is 4x weak to mienshaos rock tomb
f
i dcd
:(
?
thank god
Who should gmax?
no one
Okay
ye just hope the froslass clicks the special move
i almost won with the 3 ai trainers so you should be good
Right, I just didn’t know if we should since froslass won’t since he disconnected
Womp womp
yeah with 4 people its very safe
3 is apparently not
also the ai trainer taking the mon who cant attack is so stupid
did you make sure you closed and reopened the game? i lost a great path forgetting to do that once XD
Man I really wish the science chick didn’t say all that “aw man you were so close” shit when you lose. It actually drives me insane
im glad ive maxed out my ore, gonna come in handy when i have to reset my paths
What’s the best way to do that? I want to hunt necrozma in a beast ball
ive heard necrozma is quite easy to battle so you should be fine just running through random dens
but the only way to save up ore is through dens
I think you should continue without me, I'm not able to connect into random ones. So somethings wrong my internet right now
Right but I only have 2 beast balls so I was wondering if there was a fast way to grind the ore
not really just run dens to build them up. maybe find something you want to hunt for that you have plenty of balls for and run it loads of times
mesprits supposed to be an easy hunt
Brutal. The only 3 I’m interested in are zygarde, necrozma, and giratina
i only need zygarde and solgaleo
not want the tapus?
Nah not really
you guys are lucky tho for my specific dex i need 2 zygardes
sure
We should
same code?
so im just accelgor and spam acid the whole den?
yep :(
oh hang on @soft jacinth we have an open slot if youre free? really OP path
currently in a run atm tho
I can do a hr of DAS before work
perfect
will @ you when we finish this one
Ok we can also run after I get off work too
im probably out then for me its 8pm right now
1256 pm here
6:56 pm for me
I can do 1 hr then gotta leave for work
1:57 pm here
I'll be working until Monday then I'll be off on Monday
Noah makes me want to rip my teeth out
yes
indeed
ofc make the boss only able to attack exactly what we need
but i also had an actual human playing this mon today
all the way to the boss
bro tried to kill zygarde with toxic
Bro got a lobotomy and decided to hop on pokemon sw/sh
I'm on swsh speaking of swsh
were almost done
we are just at zygarde so shouldnt be long
ye just casually 2 shot it
i love this path
Any shinies
Not yet
nope
I used to not believe in path resetting until I got a shiny crock
I will get my silly toothpaste dragon damn it
Druddigon
no shiny for me
1111 4444 again
Hey it’s my turn to spam acid spray
now remember #4 takes froslass now
ayy
no ill do it this run
boltund -> sigilyph -> frosslass
Fuck
okay nvm
My bad
Left or right
Forgot dog weak to zygarde
anyone swap?
no
k
I see why this path op
ye i dont think it gets much better than this
Bonk
1 turn kill on all but zygarde which needs two
Only the 10th time I've seen it taken down in phase 1
Nothing
Nada
same here
Definitely a must have shiny
back up
This time I’ll take the dog lol
we will have to see if turn 1 ice move on frosslass is ideal
might put him in his second phase to soon
also maybe charm is correct here
Noted
didnt know that psychic + shadow ball kills
Wtf I hit a
I think dog was supposed to switch
Literally what the fuck
doesnt matter i think
I hope it doesn't mess the run up
we switch dog for kadabra then
im dynamaxing here?
yes so the ice move has 100% accuracy
make sure to use the special dynamax move with froslass
Noted
Nothing
nope
nothing
Nada
back up
This path a breeze
yes its so chill
Easy peasy
Lemon squeezy
Accelgor has bad hp
Nothing
Nothing
zero
online again
Premier
Pokeball for normal and premier for legend
premier for zygarde cant keep the other ones
I normally use corresponding balls for the shinies minus apriballs
It depends on what’s in the den. I don’t care much for any of these but they’d look good in Premier balls
im only missing diance zygarde solgaleo and the paldea starters for a living dex xD
These I've been using regular balls
Cant
Ok nm
didnt oneshot the kadabra
i think sigilyph should use the flying move for STAB against kadabra
Why does everything attack me
Nothing
the usual
Nada
Nothing
I love shiny hunting but this method sucks so bad lmao
Should we call it a day after this round
online again
Its better than masuda imo
nah this is the worst
Definitely better than eggs but I miss soft resetting tbh
I do love soft resetting on USUM
needing 4 other people for shiny hunting is just stupid
Exactly
USUM is peak shiny hunting
XY has good methods
I loved ORAS
quick soft resets and charm applies
Shame 3DS doesn't have online anymore
I'm hunting poipole atm but I'm at 11k 😭
honestly I’d soft reset 20,000 times for a shiny and be less angry than if I had gone through a den solo with npcs fighting over rain dance and sunny day
Lol
Exactly
This is the first time I’ve done online more than once on any give legendary in literal years
I feel like zygarde is the only one that needs multiple people. I've never had an issue with any of the other legends I've hunted in the DAs
you tried groudon before?
No but I don't need it got it yesterday in USUM
Most legends unless u can kill them with a 4x se move u need multiple ppl
Giratina isn’t too bad
I kept for immunity to ground
I'm hunting all my legends in USUM so all I need in the DAs is zygarde, necrozma, solgaleo the tapus and the genies
Well 2 zygardes
why 2?
I'm doing a form dex
Nothing I gtg
So 2 of each genie and 2 zygardes for it's 2 forms
Nothing
I gotta get ready for work
Shiny kadabra but no zygarde
at least something :)
im kind of busy on the weekend now... can probably only do sunday afternoon/evening
22 runs no shiny
That's good for me I'm busy tomorrow it's my nieces birthday party
I have work tomorrow and it’s lucario mega raid day too I think so after work I’m doing that
So we all good for Sunday?
I’m good any time after 3
Yeah, it’s 3:15 pm for me rn so this time Sunday I should be home
Thank you guys again for your help
Is this still ongoing?
Yes :) I think we will continue later today...or if we find 2 other people we could also start sooner
Appreciate it, is there any time in particular?
We would still need 1 more in order to run before I leave for work
Just whenever there are enough people I guess
I can join, my internet works normal now
anyone still here? I need a team to do Zygarde raids with
Ok I went out but I’ll be back in about an hour will yall still be playing then?
i got nothing to do so im down
@soft jacinth @glad orchid @gleaming bobcat are you all ready?
I'm ready to go
okay ill begin hosting as soon as the others confirm theyre ready
I'm in. So whats the strat
yea i'm set
You can join there 1 min
code?
1111 4444
1111 4444
im in
got it
remember to use special moves
That's important to use special moves to make it deathless
acid spray makes it go down easy yeah
For a min I thought that wouldn't kill
All these are are supposed to be 1 hit kill zygarde 2 hit kill
no swaps
makes sense yeah
Hopefully air slash doesn't miss
kadabra next
i'm guessing siglyph switches?
i see
good dynamax
Accuracy sucks on it so why not
wrd yeah
At least no dumb bots
with 4 people this is so chill
solo its almost impossible
Tell me about it XD
run it back after?
y
if we don;t get the shiny that is
the host would just have to reset the game and the exact same adventure would be saved
No shiny for me
No shiny
its up again
4th should take froslass to dynamax at zygarde right?
That was me
Ik I don't have any of these shinies
you can psychic here for 100% accuracy
a few days ago i was cycling a route on my own, got every shiny besides the zygarde
Oof
im not even catching them
damn i didn't even think of that
I do since none of these I don't have as shinies
porygon, mr mime, and gorgeist, you will be missed 😥
Do u have all them shiny
i have them all shiny already but also dont wanna be tempted
yea but it still felt bad
this path is too good
yea wrd
I've reset over a few when I did my mewtwo den was worth it though when I got it
I've gotten like 5 shiny barbaracle from DAS
wow 5 is crazy
watch out if you dyna froslass one max ice move is physical
I checked to see which one was special
Now if I had any of these shiny I wouldn't catch these
Ofc no shiny here
didnt help :(
no shiny 😦
on to the next one i guess
Yep
online again
I got too many barbaracle that I had to stop catching it
lmao suffering from success
Barbaracle is the 1 I can't catch
Half the time it was the shiny & I wanted Rayquaza
Took me 150 for the elusive dragon
ouch that's rough
Worst hunt in my history
i forget how many tries rayquaza took me
i also forgot
When I got it a friend talked me into doing 1 more run
but i also got a second one in go recently
after i get shiny zygarde i'm done with shiny hunting dynamax adventures, it's the last i need
I think I got rayquaza quickly like, maybe less than 10, from a random online one
that's rlly lucky holy
I have to get this shiny in Sword & Shield
I have both games & intend to hunt every shiny legend & Pokémon in Shield
wow that's some dedication
just zygarde and solgaleo then im done with shiny hunting
solgaleo took me a bit of time i remember
it's not too hard but also not easy to beat
can you do it solo?
Whoever helps me out I'll hunt almost any shiny in game for the help with Shield
Not legends but like anything breedable
I use a lot of mesuda method
what are the shield legends again?
Idk
how can you keep your sanity if you do masuda
yea in this game especially
Idk determination
I prefer picnic method
why it takes forever to get eggs
Can literally stay in 1 spot for it
and then the eggs dont hatch all at once
its only annoying bc the eggs don't all hatch at once
U can multitask while waiting for eggs
& same while hatching
no shiny
Nothing
No shiny
i'm 100% over odds on this thing
back online
it's available in both games so it's pretty easy to find
online 25 checks so far
I have Latios Buzzwole Xerneus
that's rough
we can still do it
it just wont be as fast
wide guard still saves us
it's whatever dw abt it
remind me to switch controllers after this run
lmao yea
Did it happen cuz it's dead how exactly do u charge controllers
I'll take this still then
boltund still switches yeah
once i get it i'll never have to do dynamax adventures ever again
just whatever ice attacker can dyna should do it
Both was 2 turns right
y
something like that yeah
Endure really
I’m back, when is the next raid?
This thing used endure
damn that's annoying
Lol how this survive
This
we are 4 people currently @eager shuttle
oh yea
i can message you if theres a free spot
That’s fine, I’d at least like to get one in so I can unlock them path so o can hunt it even if nobody is available.
I can sit out one cuz I kinda need to eat something
So there's another person with zygarde den
no shiny here so i guess i'm still going
same here
How do I join?
No shiny I'll brb
@rose sinew controllers remember
alreadt switched thx
nice
Nox can take my spot to save the zygarde den
its online again
I gotta eat
I appreciate it
code is 1111 4444 nox
make sure to connect to the internet on ycomm
then talk to the den person and select random
press + and put in the code
then search for other players
Ok got it thanks
you will pick froslass
if you attack with an ice move use the special one always
path is right left left
Ok
dynamax against zygarde
Assuming everyone here has Nintendo Online
Since most das u have to play with others
Except like Kartana & Buzzwole & a few other ubs
Is everyone else doing this for Pokemon ZA too?
pretty much yeah
Yes I have to have a shiny zygarde for ZA
since it's more than likely going to be shiny locked in za
It’ll also probably get a new form or something
yea fs
This too
That's why I intend to get it in both games
One for ZA one for SWSH
Wow this is crazy more effective then doing it with randos
Same
same
same
@soft jacinth are you ready again?
@rose sinew if you get a free slot lemme know and I'll hop on
its online again
Am I next in line if anyone drops?
I think @pseudo cloud is actually the next in line since we already planned on doing runs two days ago
Dang it, well if someone could let me know if a spot opens I would appreciate it. I should be free rest of the day.
i plan on doing it for a few more hours so probably will at some point
also someone might just get the shiny
same, i got a bunch of free time so i'm gonna try to get the shiny today
good luck with that XD
thx, i'm hoping today's the day
Ok
i can check
sword and shield right?
Yeah, kinda think it goes well with Zygarde
ill check and let you know if i have one
Thanks
I have no apriballs in swsh
I used my last on a Shiny Shaymin in BDSP
valid tbh
just checked i think its the only one i dont have sorry
i threw a heal ball by accident
That’s cool lol thanks anyways
watch me get the shiny now xD
no shiny here
No shiny
no shiny
no shiny
I can go for another hr
back online
Then gotta leave for work
oh pls dont search too early
woops sorry about that
i connected just fine
Much better
weird
Not sure why it didn't wanna connect with the other code
nintendo online is a pretty poor service so i wouldn't worry abt it too much
ye idk why they cant make a proper online service
you're essentially paying to use your own wifi
like let me invite my friends and fill the remaining spots with randoms
No shiny
no shiny
none
That was 40 checks for me
lobby back up
are you using shiny charm?
Yes
you'll get it soon i hope then
1/100 chance
yeah
i've gone way over odds on a lot of hunts even with charm tho
what does it look like
lugia?
The rental bird we have been using
I never could spell it's name
sigilyph i believe it is
lmao thats so real
i still get confused on exeggutor
i'll spell it weird like eggsecutor or smth like that
Think I haven't phased since 15 checks on zygarde
Geez
its rough
Yes
no shiny
same
None
nothing
no shiny
No shiny
No shiny
whats up
if we keep the dog and use helping hand and use kadabra instead of sigilyph
u think we could one shot zygarde as well? xD
it would depend on if we outspeed zygarde turn 1
accelgor does, froslass does, idk abt kadabra tho
kadabra is only 5 points slower than froslass
Mienshao I think doesn't outspeed
and 10 faster than zygarde
I think we can try
helping hand with -2 sp def on zygarde might be enough on its own idk tho
we'll try it
i think we beat it anyway even it it kills one or two mons
yeah fs
no shiny
No shiny
no shiny here
lobby up
y
and sigilyph will switch for kadabra
Who gets mienshao
no one
no one
dont need it if boss is dead
we should be able to 1 shot it before it moves
Ok we'll see if that works
it feels like it should kill
yeah
but it never kills froslass and then it will still die
exactly
I'll do 2 more after this then I gtg
okay
Still no free slot?
ShinyHunter will leave so it depends on @pseudo cloud
So I swap?
sigilyph to kadabra
yeah
I would but somethings come up ill have to do it another time
Got a Zygarde adventure I need help with. How do I set up a link code again?
okay then @eager shuttle can join in 20-30 minutes
@glacial olive connect to ycomm talk to the dynamax adventure guy click on zygarde and then press + to select a code
hail might still kill it
Sounds good
oof
Thanks.
omegarockster has given 1 Gen Rep to skl1895
damn that was close
omg so close
Hail doesn't kill
lit 1 hp
Should I just post my own Link Code here for anyone who wants to join?
ok so we'll go back to the old strategy then?
Yes old strategy
yeah probably not worth the risk for a maybe range kill
it probably does come down to ivs
Nothing
@glacial olive we are currently doing a planned path if someone else wants to join you you can post your code otherwise i can let u know when we have a free spot
no shiny here
Alrighty. I'll make my own thread, then.
no shiny
lobby up
Dog swaps for mienshao
yea
Zygarde can't be 1 shot without a crit
He can if you sharply raise sp attack and sharply lower its sp def
no shiny here
None
same
nothing
last run for you @soft jacinth right?
Yes
lobby up
Gotta get dressed afterwards
then @eager shuttle gets his turn :)
Dang
Yall hunting Zygarde??
id like to think that we get it all on the same run
Would be sweet
that'd be so iinsane
yesss :) but its already full rn i can let you know when we have a spot
Ye ping me when u need a fill in
there was also someone earlier who was also looking maybe you can get a second group going with him
Quite a few want the toothpaste dragon
it is a good looking shiny after all
I have every shiny in DA except for Zygarde
zygarde is also the most annoying one and you can only hunt it in DAs
I misclicked
all good no worries
yeah that's what i hate about it
it's the only way to hunt zygarde as of right now
There’s a zygarde thing that has a spot
Huh
different post in this discord i think
Yeah
thanks for helping out on these raids @soft jacinth
sharko1011 has given 1 Gen Rep to shinyhuntersv
thanks for the runs!
Join this
Okay
I don’t think the dude will do a zygarde for a while
Yeah tru
See u tomorrow
cya!
Ready whenever
@eager shuttle is waiting for the longest time so hes in :)
Oh damn
Wasn’t that bad of a wait was the playing Elden Ring in the background
Code was 1111 4444?
y
Lemme know if any of u get the shiny zygarde
will do 👍
Nothing
lol of course
i hate this game
no shiny for me
Funny thing is I got Latias in like 10 tries
lobby up
that was my 4th phase
i just want someone in my lobby to get it so i know it exists
Try restarting it
you guys cant join?
It didn't work for me
Same
literally same here idk what happened lol
did something miss?
maybe froslass clicked smth else
maybe it had +spdef nature + 31 ivs or smth idk
maybe
Crap should Dynamax?
nah it doesn't matter too much
ye we should kill if air slash hits
We stalling on Zygarde till I can Dynamax or someone else has it?
we should be able to take it out without dyna
mhm
100% accurate move and it cant randomly kill u with a dyna move
I genuinely think Zygarde is one of the most bs shiny hunts out there
100%
for me its just the fact that you cant do it solo
idk if gamefreak knew what they were doing when they made this raid battle, but it's unneccesarily hard
yeah that too
i mean it being hard isnt an issue i like challenging hunts
You can it’s just entirely down to luck
but if it takes a long time at least let me do it solo so i can play whenever i want
the two aoe moves are a bit much tho
