I Hunted for 100 Hours in Dynamax Adventures

[@AsassinoSilenzioso]

I wholeheartedly agree, 75% of rental mon are pure garbage. Combine that with an AI sharp as watermelon and you get why Dynamax Raid are soo annoying

[@octopikmin3590]

I hunted shiny legendaries by myself because I had no friends. I can confirm that the AI in SwSh is abysmal. Definitely cost me many wins because AI stubid.

[@AsassinoSilenzioso]

@@octopikmin3590 I know for sure that if any mon have Acupressure, it's gonna spam that and NOTHING else. I made a list of mon that only human should play, so when I hunt alone I know to avoid them.

[@AllegedlyHuman]

​@@AsassinoSilenziosomight want to add Drifblim to that list. Recently had an AI trainer use one, and it consistently went for will-o-wisp. Target poisoned? Let's burn it! Target already burnt? Let's *extra* burn it! It legit kept it up non-stop until it ran out of PP. Pokemon with trick room and ingrain should NOT be left to the AI either

I gotten the all the shiny legendarys in DA and one thing I’ve learned is to take the worst Pokémon so the AI can’t suck, sometimes it’s better to pick the path of least resistance vs the better Pokémon for the end, and wide guard is king. Also if u are playing solo turning off animations can save several minutes each run. Happy hunting

[@Guerreiro7578]

Contrats and thanks for the advice! I really don't know how did you get them all, althought the odds are great, the method is so annoying haha

[@Ace360gamer]

thank you 😊 took a while but it was fun. A lot of shinys along the way as well. Best thing is to do it on the side while you play/do something else. Luck plays a factor in many aspects outside shiny odds but there is a skill aspect to it that I enjoy once you learn the move sets and best routes since those aren’t random. Best of luck 😊

Doing this for a while did teach me that the most doable solo DA (that I tried, at least) was Pheromosa, since it’s squishy enough to die pretty easily no matter what kind of horrible decisions your AIs make. It has a REALLY pretty shiny too, but sadly I’ve yet to get it :( (I’ve only gotten 5 total shinies from these, but tbf 3 of them were without the shiny charm)

6:20 spread moves don’t spread out the damage equally, they deal either regular damage when used against a single target and 75% damage when used against any more than one target Also when I beat zygarde I just skipped phase 2 by killing it before the end of the turn with triple axel hitmontop and a froslass

[@Tjprod9]

After getting ever Legendary from Max adventures, I found doing them by yourself was usually the way to go. Tapu lele was the shortest at 3 raids, then there was Latias at 345 encounters. Xerneas was a nightmare though in comparison though it only took 340. Zygarde also wasn’t too bad at 27.

[@pr1nc3y25]

Do you have any tips for doing them solo? I've been planning on doing the Max adventures for about a year but they've always seemed too inconsistent solo to hunt for legendaries.

I am attempting Lunala right now, and with a 4x dark weakness, as long as I cultivate getting a dark move for myself, I can pretty reliably beat it. And goes much quicker than with people since animations are off. And even then, a lost den isn’t truly a loss because the other 3 mons could still be shiny

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

I've done a hunt for Guzzlord what feels like Ages ago now in DAs, and it was rough. I had the Shiny Charm and got like 6 shinies i think before getting my glorious Cheeto covered Alien. Definitely would only recommend it for Ultra Beasts/Pokemon you can currently only hunt in it if you don't have a New model 3Ds to hunt them in USUM, because without that the reset times suck lmao, so at least you'd be doing something. Also I did a few DAs with my mom and managed to actually do 1 group DA ever irl. Regardless of the shiny odds or even if I got really lucky I wouldn't recommend it as a hunting method rather then a "do this with friends for a bit and see if you get something cool out of it".

[@djjjjjd]

Obviously there are some exceptions like Zygarde and Kyogre, but most legendaries are easy enough to hunt for solo imo. The AI will repeat their picks exactly on each soft reset provided that your picks don't change, and with a couple resets you can optimise a consistent route if you think there are good enough picks overall in that route. Imo it's worth soft resetting and paying the ore tax if you find a good, consistent route, and playing solo with no animations saves sooo much time. And if you're hunting something in a rare ball then you might as well find a good route since you'll need to soft reset anyway if you want to keep that ball.

[@robertalexstorm]

Zygarde runs require Wide Guard. If you're playing with AI, you just get a Wide Guard mon and spam it in front of Zygarde.

On a side note, my favorite shiny you found is between Doublade and Fraxure, and Rayquaza, but he always gets all the love, and I thought that we had to have some variety, and give others a chance in the spotlight!

My shiny Zygarde came from my one and only solo run that was result of my internet cutting out momentarily. A true blessing in disguise.

The dunamax adventures, while being inefficient compared to SV in shiny hunting, is still relevant though because its one of the few places to shiny hunt legendaries effectively. 100 hours for a shiny legendary isnt as bad as a soft reseting for one roll in a 1/1300 odds. Ive seen players soft reset for some legendaries for months. Its even more relevant now because SV legendarues are all shiny locked. Including new dlc.
