[@SquishyArt1]

You shouldnt save when you see the shiny during an outbreak. The reason is it doesnt reroll the shiny rate. The outbreak is already predeterminedand which pokemon to be shiny is already set in its seed. It could be number 4, it could be number 100. You just dont know. All you had to do was reload the game at basecamp and go back to get it because the starly would ALWAYS be THAT number that appears (watch austin john plays recent video on shiny outbreaks). The fact the outbreak was still there a second time was very lucky - you had a chance that the outbreak would have disappeared when you reloaded the game. Thats why you DONT SAVE infront of the shiny on an outbreak. If you kill the shiny or it runs away, just reset the game and reload from basecamp. Go back and catch all the pokemon again until it shows up. Seriously watch austin johns video he explains it much better than I did lol

[@Rubi1013]

True thanks to Austin I got already my first three shinies. He is the best.

[@CJ-be2cu]

I mean I’ve outbreak hunted a decent amount in this game ( about half of a box of shinies) I’ve saved infront of all of them, had to reset a couple times and never failed it.

@@CJ-be2cu That is really lucky because I did it like that and lost a Shiny Gyarados I almost cry I spent four hours trying to get it.

I’ve been surprised by how often I’ve run into shiny Pokémon in this game. I even have a shiny Luxray on my team. Not the case in the mainline games.

[@requiemagent3014]

PLA is a mainline game. Game Freak has changed this retroactively. Which is good. The shiny odds are the same as for every other pokemon game. But if you see a pokemon in the overworld this is considered an encounter as far as the game is concerned. So even though the odds are the same you have far more encounter. Obviously. I actually think this is way better. I hope they keep this system for Gen 9

[@FireWolf1572_YT]

I wasn’t even shiny hunting when I came across a shiny Wurmple in this game at the very beginning too. Of course I caught it and it has been on my team my entire play through. I had no clue what it would evolve into and stressed which one it would be and due to how much I just love Wurmple in general I decided to not evolve it until I 100% the game (still a work in progress). I don’t recommend this since in this game Wurmple only knows tackle and poison sting and can’t learn or be taught any other moves plus it's just a Wurmple so it dies instantly but it's the highest level on my team and I even let it get the final hit on Giratina

[@mydogeatspuke]

I mean you still have to actually play the game to progress and there's a bunch of ways to do that. He's still levelling up and doing tasks in between the hunting, his team is just limited by a "random" spawn of pretty common and low level creatures, and he only needs a few of them to proceed. Plus this is obviously not the first time he's completed the game so he will have known some shortcuts and tricks to save time. It's a pretty easy game to finish too, which helps.
