AUGH
I'm trying to get a Zorua with every IV maxed. I've got two parents in the day care with 5 max ivs... But it's still not going anywhere. If my math's right, even with those parents, I've still only got a 1/186 chance that it'll have every IV maxed. Who said this was easy again?!

But if the perfect one hatches shiny, what are the odds?

 

[SirRob]

One in one million five hundred twenty three thousand seven hundred twelve.

 

[Jags]

That's a true statistic.

The feels, though. It'd be more than winning an Olympic medal.

 

[SirRob]

An olympic medal in a world where someone can get an olympic medal in a few seconds through hacking.

 

[Jags]

But YOU know you tried. And that's the important thing, like believing in yourself. Or something related to yellow snow.

 

[SirRob]

I did it, ranting on here worked, I got my max ivs

 

[CaptainCool]

If you breed two perfect IV Pokémon with a destiny knot combined with the Masuda method apparently the probability to get a shiny goes up to 3/126976. Event hat is still a very small chance XD

Ranting on FAF always gets the job done.
Good job, Rob :3

 

[SirRob]

Yeah, now I know why Rants and Raves is so popular.
Thanks, it was one big time sink, but I've got my fourth team member-- and my signature Pokemon. :d

 

[Jags]

Maybe I should go for IV's on Floatzel, it's the best 'mon on my team even with a negative nature as it is.
Not to mention the most adowable <3

Time sink aside, since they'll keep letting people trade up we could still technically have the same kick-ass 'mon you spent hours perfecting in 15 years. Kinda worth it, ain't it?

 

[Distorted]

That really takes some dedication. It's hard enough to get the IV's to go where you want, and just as hard to find them even. Granted the Friend Safari simplifies things, but sadly it doesn't have all the pokemon you want. I'm trying to get a Spiritomb with at least perfect defensive IV's. That just makes me want to go the whole way and make a perfect one myself.

Looks like I can go to bed a lot earlier today than I thought! X3



She is so pretty ;__; My very first shiny ever.
Didn't really get a chain going though... The shiny flower patch showed up after just two encounters

cool. i got a shiny pancham. doesnt have much in color difference from the normal one tho. but still. first encounter at friend safari. i was so giddy. lol. XD

and btw. my name is "Fox" on pokemon x. and my friend safari gives out bugs.. paras illumise and pinsir.. just something to add to the front page. XP

 

[yell0w_f0x]

congrats. i should try getting max ivs too. i only got the pokemon i want on my team up to 5max ivs.

Careful not to double post.

I was thinking about hunting for Pancham instead but then I saw how different shiny Skiddos look compared to the regular ones.
I even got it with a critical capture by the way, that was pretty much the icing on the cake X3

 

[Jags]

I want a shiny Fennekin

I mean look at the adorable little bugger:

Chase them using the Pokedex region finder to the cave in the North ^.^

I'd also like to point out that you have to do this all by foot. You can't fly or else it'll reset their position to some new random location and you have to do all that over again. I think it takes like 10-12 times.

And this is why I gave up on catching Zapdos.

I did however, catch Mewtwo yesterday and that was such a pain.

 

[SirRob]

I just walked back and forth between two routes until it decided to show up in one of them.

Many times.

Wat.

My normal strategy for roaming 'mons is to run in and out of the same route. Please don't say that don't work. My soul is not ready for the breaking it will cause.

People DO this? I was overjoyed when I bred a Larvitar with one maxed IV.

I believe that still works. It's just if you try to fly to chase it faster it'll change locations.

 

[BRN]

Yup... each time you move from route to route, the roaming 'mon will move to a route next to the one it's currently in. Fly, and it changes position utterly randomly, most likely to somewhere completely fuckoff-far-away from where you just flew.
