[Live] Shiny Regidrago after 3,403 SRs in The Crown Tundra DLC Pokémon Sword! [Full Odds]

[@ShinyHunterSandslash]

Hey everyone! I know there's a runaway method which is faster, but I was double hunting which would of made it a little tedious, so I went with soft resetting! 😁

[@justoplast4625]

The runaway method isn't actually faster. Resetting saves a little bit of time each encounter.

[@colby_247]

is it really faster?

[@ShinyHunterSandslash]

@@colby_247 I was told it was faster by a few seconds

[@justoplast4625]

@@colby_247 some KZbinr must've spread some misinformation there. I've timed it along with some other people and results showed that softresetting is always the fastest method, even when executing the puzzle perfectly.

[@Sonikks]

Just a point, regardless of whether it's faster or not to reset, it requires less input to reset. You say in the video that you were double hunting this after borrowing your girlfriend's Switch so to RunAway/KO the Regis on two systems would require far too much effort & input. You streamline this by resetting on both games and mashing the A button like any good shiny hunter would. Also, this is full odds. Some of the comments are moronic & quite frankly the insults are pathetic, so quick to judge. Congrats on the shiny!

How?

[@vergil1983]

@@stijnhagman985 If you mean "how am I going to shiny hunt regidrago if I already catches regieleki" well on switch you can create another account, play until you get the flying taxi, get to the crown's tundra, get a few lvl 65-70s from the Dynamax adventures, then just destroy everything until you've beaten the dragon champion (it allows you to catch wild pokemons higher than lvl 55), catch the regis, get to the choice ruins and you're done (if you beat the league you get a masterball in case of).

On a side note, these birds must be getting an event soon because their shiny variations can be transferred through pokemon home thus meaning these shinies are legit but not at the same time.

[@Blitzbrie]

Just a PSA to the people who might be under the misconception that the runaway method is faster - it's not. People forget to take into account the extra time it takes bc you have to sit thru the battle segue animations + text boxes when you run away, whereas when you reset you can do so as soon as you see it's not a shiny. So one "cycle" essentially ends up taking the same amount of time. The only difference is that resets literally require 0 attention or effort. You can also miss the tiles when doing the puzzle which takes up even more time since you obviously won't do it perfect every time, so in most it cases resetting indeed is the better method, unless you want the hunt to be more stimulating.
