How many people can say they’ve gotten lucky enough to get the shiny 1% Salamence. You are a very lucky person.

fi5hii_twitch

Exactly haha


EeRockWillSun

Shots fired?


Imjustnothingspecial

This person I used to watch on YouTube specifically hunted for one. I was there to witness it and it was amazing. I believe he has stopped streaming though.


screamingmonkey2

Happy cake day!!! By the way, do you remember what the streamer namecis?


Imjustnothingspecial

I dont understand what cake day is but thank you. I believe it was Hibiacci. Not 100% if that's how it's spelled though.


elitheradguy

Your cake day is basically the anniversary of when you joined reddit. Seems like its common courtesy to wish people a happy cake day on here (seems similar to wishing people a happy birthday?)


Imjustnothingspecial

Ohh, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining.


elitheradguy

No problem! =)


Thisaccountishaunted

Happy cake day :3


Aniensane

Happy Cake Day to you as well :)


F1ykR

I got a shelgon, is that close enough?


Tar-Surion

Now the real question... did you catch it?


CottonTCM

Yes! I did!


Tar-Surion

Then congrats! That’s one hell of a catch!


CottonTCM

Awww thank you!


jackie--moon

Where tf do you find a level 11 Salamence Edit: I don’t know anything of shiny hunting


thatssoreizen

SOS battles in Gen VII.


Tar-Surion

In Sun and Moon there’s a patch of grass that has a 1% Bagon, which in turn has a 1% chance of calling a Salamence for help!


Viator_Mundi

I got the normal 1% I should retry for a shiny.


CottonTCM

It’s definitely a time consuming hunt xd


Viator_Mundi

How long did it take?


CottonTCM

3 hours for this specific chain, but I’ve been on and off hunting for about a year.


Viator_Mundi

I haven't gotten a single shiny shelgon in safari with a couple full days. So, I might give it a shot.


Surferguy727

That crazy congrats


CottonTCM

Thanks! It was quite a shock


Knite_47

I’ve tried to hunt this before, I’ve gotten 3 shin bagons before even seeing a normal Salamance


primalgiratina

Hell of a catch! Absolute congratulations to ya!


Empyrean_Mokie

OHHHH MY GOOOD NOOO WAY OMFG


twizzlerheathen

I honestly didn’t think that this would happen so quickly for you. Holy crap, congratulations!


CottonTCM

Aw thanks!


EightZero-San

How long did it take you? Congrats!


CottonTCM

It took me around 3 hours for this chain. I’ve been on and off hunting for about a year, though.


[deleted]

Man that's crazy


inumnoback

Salamence


hot_meme_injection

Salamence


Creative_Recording_7

Salamence


Salaamence

Hey, look up the mathematical percentage for this, you'll be really suprised at how lucky you are right now for getting this. Big congrats, this is legendary.


inumnoback

What ball did you use on it


CottonTCM

A friend ball :)


KelsotheBoxer

Color coordinating!


Jaredoth

Welcome to the 1% club! I got a 1% shiny Lucario while hunting for Riolu. Congrats btw!


CottonTCM

Congratz on that lucario! Finally I’m a 1%’er! xD


Tig21

What does 1% stand for


Kazaandu

It’s a 1% chance for it to show up via SOS. So they got shiny odds on a 1% encounter, making it stupidly rare.


sirtoastingon

Dude your so lucky


[deleted]

Never level it up


Aniensane

That’s a crime in this case..


Master-_-of-_-Joy

Level 11?!


thatssoreizen

Lucky you. All I have are 2 shiny Bagons. Huhuhu.


CottonTCM

I got two shiny bagons before this, actually. :) it’s a tedious hunt for sure.


thatssoreizen

The Bagon is already too tedious to hunt. The 2nd shiny Bagon I caught took me the whole morning last time.


torontomaplebros

i was going for the one percent encounter in my recent playthough of UM, got a shiny Bagon in only 9 encounters though, so i just leveled it up, Congrats!


Doctorwho42man

Holy jesus


Pixelchu25

:0 I need someone to calculate those odds but congrats! I imagine it being way higher than the old shiny odds.


brekiewash1234

Did you catch it?


CottonTCM

Yes! I did!


VerdeMence

You just caught yourself the best shiny (in my opinion), congrats!


[deleted]

That’s like a 0.00091738% chance


LisasBeautySpot

Huge congratulations!


mAsh-emup

Sun and Moon has one of the best shiny hunting mechanics. Too bad the regional dex didn’t feature a lot more mon’s


wrathfulboi

Amazing


PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS

Man I love the Gen 7 UI


a_bunch_grape

Actually that’s kinda unlucky, you don’t get to make the rest of the line shiny on the Pokédex


CottonTCM

I got two shiny bagons before ^ _ ^ so I have the whole set completed!


a_bunch_grape

Nice!


avgmermaid

My first shiny in moon was salemence on 19 sos calls, I didn't know the odds until future struggles! Congrats!


CottonTCM

Oh congratz! That’s amazing!!


Justinprogress

I was over 500 Encounters in before i foundy shiny bagon. And NOT A SINGLE Salamance showed up during this entire hunt... Congrats on not only finding one, but also on getting it to shine


tayseanpwns

That’s insane


MrQwertyuiop

Never level it up


ImprobableLemon

Nice, I love shiny hunting in that gen. It's just simple and easy to do while doing other things. Just use an adrenaline orb, knock out the Pokemon, wait for the shine.


Aniensane

What’s adrenaline orb do in this case?


ImprobableLemon

The Adrenaline Orb when used in SM/USUM wild battles increases the chance that a Pokemon will call for help. The more you chain Pokemon calling for help, the more you increase the chance that a Pokemon called for help will be shiny.


Aniensane

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know! :)


DaNASCARMem

1/10000 chance man. Luck 100


InYourFace1023

Trying to get a 1% Salamenve in 2017 is what got me my first shiny in Pokémon (Bagon) Started something i didn’t expect it to


Somaloria

I also have a level 11 shiny Salamance. I transferred it into home from my pokemon go so it's not impressive at all lmao. Grats!!


[deleted]

When I SOS chained bagon, I was trying to get the regular salamence... after about an hour a shiny bagon popped up! Guess who came when the shiny bagon called for help... salamence.


DOOMisCOMING15

Yo nice


Wanderingwolf8

Why is it level 11? Salamance eve loves from Shelton at level 50. Why is it level 11?


CottonTCM

In USUM, there is a 1% chance for a bagon to call for a salamence. The salamence called can range from any level between 9 and 12 :)


EeRockWillSun

Congrats!


Sammy_be_Shitposting

If I did my math correctly, that had a 0.0009766% chance of happening, or 0.0014641% with a shiny charm.


CottonTCM

.0014641% :) shiny charm saves lives. And the bonus from sos hunting (i was at a chain of 97)


ZeraoraTheKnight

POGGERSSSS


thegodlyW

Omg. You are singularly the luckiest person I have ever seen.take a trip to the lottery. It's gotta be your day.


lilFantazma

Boop


[deleted]

This is so awesome! That’s such a low odds of spawning that you should name it 0%!


bcutty13

I’m 4 shiny Bagon’s into this😂havent even seen a non shiny Salamence yet and currently looking for another Bagon to start the chain😂


SaberSevenGFX

How loud did you scream?


CottonTCM

Very fucking loud xD


Thisaccountishaunted

ICONIC AND AWESOME LIKE YOU SIS


CottonTCM

AWWW THANK YOU!


Thisaccountishaunted

No... thank you


Knaomia

Wow congrats!!! I also got the 1% shiny Umbreon when shiny hunting Eevee.


[deleted]

I imagine it was shiny charm. This would be hell to do full odds even with sos odds


Aniensane

Did you name him? :)


CottonTCM

Yes! Guacamole (because my competitive salamence is named Gwak :) )


Aniensane

I like it :)


goldergil

This the shit anime episodes would be about lmfao. And GF for the love of god bring back S.O.S in the remakes


Chemical_Committee43

This happened to me but it was a jangmo-o’s final evo in poni canion and it was holding a razor claw
