BEST Way To Hunt Shiny Fossil Pokemon In Pokemon Sword & Shield!

[@jaredlittle1354]

I have been shiny hunting for Slowpoke...I never want to see a Galarian Slowpoke again.

[@bradinkle6763]

A Little Bit of Love same for me for rookiedee but then i just got it from home so I spent alot of time masuda methoding rookiedee just to get a shiny hunt from pokemon home anyway 😭😭

It can't be shiny. Only if you breed it

Howwwww? I revived like 2000 dracovishs and no shiny

[@glassmunch]

wait so do i need to revive a lot of dracovish or do i just need to revive one and then soft reset to get it shiny?

[@i.m.crazee5195]

e r i t r o p h i l i a Either way is fine. Preferably you’d want to stack up like 50 fossils and then spam A while watching something then once you’ve run out you’d check the Pokedex for a shiny (Pokedex shows different forms including shiny; press the left arrow button). Then you SR if you don’t get a shiny.

[@matthewstephens6502]

Thats a hype shiny. Super fun in friendlier matches.

This is a full odds hunt? Holy crap I got lucky, I got my shiny Dracovish at 25 fossils!

Goddamn, I wasn't keeping track of mine, but I'd estimate around 2000, still my only successful "hunt" the others I've stumbled upon in raids or while EV training lol

[@tylerball4064]

Question. Did you only do 5 fossils at a time and reset then keep repeating? I just wanna make sure I don’t have to have all new fossils and that the fossils I restore and rest will not be the same

[@nifl9903]

I got all of them shiny. I got Arctozolt and Dracozolt relatively quickly. Dracovish and Arctovish wanted to be stubborn though. Dracovish after about 9000 revives and Arctovish after 6938. I'm glad it's over and I never have to do it again.

So that's a roughly 3-second save per hunt, which would have actually saved me about 7 hours!! Although in the scheme of things, taking 8,516 restorations.... that would have taken maybe a day of hunting out of my weeks-long hunt.

[@Vindictator1972]

Time saved, even if it’s frames of a run is still time saved. That’s 3 seconds longer to hunt a day.

Hey Matt do you know if this sound cut off thing works on the little jingle when getting eggs from the day care? It could help speed up Masuda hunts if they do.

[@moharush4474]

if you have a gamecube controller for smash and the adapter, there is a turbo button on most of gc controller adapters, press the turbo button and use ur gamecube controller and add something that weight enough to press the A button instead of a turbo controller thats for farming digging duo and fossil restoration, gl!

[@kinyta]

Ironic that you got the fourth one right before you uploaded this lol

[@rupertmastin2603]

So normal odds at 1/4096 - fossils 50 each for every 100k per say that takes about 45 minutes to collect from the digging duo, so in theory it’ll take 10m to dig up fossils and 50 hrs plus to make? That can’t be right

I was going to shiny hunt them in the morning. Thanks for the guide

[@Hnui03]

I remember how pong it took me for my Shiny Mewtwo in Pokemon Ultra Sun. A solid month and I bet around 20,000 Soft Resets. I ended up getting a Shiny Day 2 around 1000, but it had a Lax Nature. So I soft resetted, cried, and got a Timid one after a month. Thank you Abra for not Synchronizing the nature over the first time...

[@OfficialPlay_J]

Jason Sharpless bro I feel it. I usually hunt with shiny charm odds. I don’t mind a full odds hunt but even with that shiny charm RNG can be a real b****! Good luck on your future hunts mate

@@OfficialPlay_J Thanks! I like Full Odds and Masuda because the full odds feel like you earned them more, y'know?

Including a Shiny Cramorant in 5 eggs, and a Dragapult in around 200. But the Obstagoon took around 2000 eggs, but hella worth it as my first hatched Shattered Shiny.

If you reset the game after not getting a shiny, do you still have the shiny chance rolled again?

ganna take me well over 10,000 per fossil to get 1 shiny and thats goin all day with an auto controller 100 per reset.

[@VinnieMacedo]

So basically you have to lose the fossils for a chance and then keep grabbing more with the brothers? Or you guys soft reset when it doesn't come shiny?

[@zarc4d]

save in front of the scientist and use as many fossils you want to find the one you want,if none come shiny,reset and reuse them again

Has this been patched? It now asks me if I want to nickname the fossil when I rapidly press a so it’s not working.

[@ambroiselinquette6880]

i don't know about shiny charm patch but you can change in options so that it doesnt ask you to nickname it.
