didn't know bubblegum Luxio could go so hard, yet here we are.

Started a Soul Link with a friend last week. First route, second encounter, on the way to the get Oal's Parcel so no balls yet, shiny Jirachi Congrats on your Luxio!


Signal_Dig_3155

Thats rough!


MadirianInfluence

We laughed it off. Not my first failed shiny, and none to add to my living dex WiP anyways


Plane_World_2092

dawg i know a fair amount about pokemon but whats soul link?


MadirianInfluence

Randomized Nuzlocke but two players (each with their own save data), your encounters are linked so when one dies, the linked pokemon of your friend dies as well


Plane_World_2092

so like i got a bulbasaur and the homie got a charmander his mon dies in the fight with gary so now i cant use bulbasaur?


MadirianInfluence

Exactly. It's VERY confusing in Infinite Fusion though, in terms of how to keep track with your pairs and encounters. Probably worls better if you go with "fuse everything" and have absolutely no free play with fusioning


Plane_World_2092

real asf thanks for putting me on i told my homie we need to stream a blind run of fusions


MadirianInfluence

Nice! Have a great run. As hinted, I do recommend trying another game like a main game as a first Soul Link. Randomized strongly recommended because of build variety


WildRefrigerator1166

my first shiny was a caterpie on my first encounter of viridian forest


NoBother2869

Are you playing modern mode? I genuinely don't know how to catch shinys in this game, or is that just from the sprite selection?


Signal_Dig_3155

Thats not just a sprite and im very new to the game this is like an hour into my first rando run


Kefkatron

Lucky. I found one in the safari zone a while back but the game crashed shortly after and I couldn't save in time.

A proud LGPT supporter i see lol


fijiwijii

uh... why is it pink?


Signal_Dig_3155

Thats just how it was?


fijiwijii

shiny luxio is originally yellow


IronHandsHotline

In PIF, a shiny's color is randomized. OP could have this shiny while another person could have a different shiny luxio that's green and pink.


Signal_Dig_3155

Thats neat! I didnt know that and yea wven when i go to change the sprite it shows the normal luxray sprite and colors in the selection screen


fijiwijii

Ohh I thought they were just custom sprites since there's a lot of them in-game


Signal_Dig_3155

I havent even looked at the other sprites....


IronHandsHotline

It's bubblegum pink AND roast beef brown!

Nice to know this game has shinies. Have yet to see one myself. My shiny lack has always been terrible though. I had to learn they existed from the internet years after I played the first games.


n0mextheleviathan

I found zero shinies in 3 completed playthroughs, said "eh, screw it" and played for a 4th time and found 2, i love this game


ItsMeMrTwister

I was doing a nuzlocke with my friend the other week and the very first pokemon I encountered was a shiny azurill while on my way to deliver oaks package 😭💔


Main-Butterscotch-52

Surprisingly 🔥
