[BQ #2] LIVE!! Shiny Pineco in SoulSilver after 2958 HBs

Brooke's Pine Ball.
So, so pleased to have found this as my second BQ Member!! I couldn't have asked for better.
In order to improve my chances of not getting a HootHoot, I used the ability Keen Eye to essentially block 1/2 of the HootHoot encounters. This works in Violet City because all the HootHoot are level 2-3 and all the Pineco and Eggs are level 10. That's a big level disparity that isn't seen often in Pokemon games. When situated at the front of your party at the correct level, Pokemon with the abilities Keen Eye and Intimidate (both work the same way) block 1/2 of all encounters 5 or more levels lower than your leading Keen Eye/Intimidate Pokemon. Normally in Violet City HootHoot is 50%, Pineco is 30%, and Exeggcute is 20%.
Using Keen Eye or Intimidate at levels 10-14 causes the following changes to the encounter rates: 25% HootHoot (because 1/2 of all HootHoot are blocked), that 25% is split betweet Pineco (~48.6%) and Exeggcute (~28.3%). Keen Eye and Intimidate aren't too useful in general, but there are some unique instances where they can be helpful!
Thanks for stopping by! On to BQ member #3!

Congratulations on the gorgeous bagworm! These SBQ targets are flying by so fast, hopefully the next few members follow suit!

[@shinyhunterzook]

I'm loving these frequent posts! Do you have your whole team planned out yet? Congrats on the shiny member #2! ✨

[@ShinyTwins178]

Thanks! Not fully planned but some I know I want. Magnemite, Tyrogue, possibly Bill’s Eevee, try for Hoenn sound numel/spoink, Miltank, bug catching contest in post game, yanma, etc. Tons to choose from.

[@BottleRocket11]

Ever since my first gen 3 Pineco blew up due to my lack of homework done, I come into shiny Pineco videos with big fear lmao glad you were prepared and managed to grab this! Congrats!

[@ShinyTwins178]

Noooo that's so sad. Thank you!

[@DaGrubb97]

Very informative, I will definitely be using the keen eye trick myself. Thank you for making me aware of it

[@Big_Footless]

Holy crap I love Pineco!! Congratulations on the shiny!!

[@Luxluux]

Congrats Brooke, outstanding Shiny ofc. Good luck on this new BQ Edit: didn't know exactly that intimidate/keen eye thing, thanks for the explanation

[@ShinyTwins178]

Thanks Lux! I wish it could be used in more spots, but it's a very neat concept. Kinda like a repel trick in areas where repels don't do anything like Headbutt trees and Fishing.

[@ToraxCefiro]

congrats brooke

[@MajesticPale]

very cool that keen eye works that way with this particular hunt. congrats!

[@mikuhoshina]

Congratulations on the shiny!! I love the colours on Pineco, it’s so pretty. I’m surprised how quick the Badge Quest is going, it’s inspiring me to try to do one!

Congratulations on pineco.

[@PalmtreePokemon]

Nice find, I love your videos and the thumbnails are amazing do you draw them yourselves??

[@ShinyTwins178]

Thanks! It’s all artwork from the Pokémon TCG. There’s a database online. I cut them out and do the recolours myself :)

[@PalmtreePokemon]

@@ShinyTwins178 that’s so cool and a really creative way to do it

[@MikeFsGamingCorner]

Congrats on pineco

Congrats on shiny pineco

[@chrizjohnzon3181]

Where are is it located what city

[@howardkoslov1702]

Named Hoothoot Hooty. Is that a reference to anything in particular?

[@ShinyTwins178]

Nah just a random name. I tend to name everything

[@doomsdoor]

didn't know about keen eye affected headbutting trees like that

[@ShinyTwins178]

The weird thing is I started looking around in my beaten copy of SS and no other areas seem to be like this. So sadly it can't be used for things like Heracross, Aipom, Cherubi, Tailow, etc. Neat that it works for Pineco though :)

[@ciro7643]

You have twitch?

[@BlackKoiRecords]

Men asserting their "dominance" even when women knows best 😆 🤣

[@ShinyTwins178]

LOL I was pretty sure the Poliwhirl couldn’t do anything only knowing Hypnosis, but also throwing balls generally works fine so it’s all g

[@BlackKoiRecords]

@@ShinyTwins178lol 😆 🤣
