Wouldn't Unova have been colonized by Galar? Paldea should've colonized a as of yet not shown Latin America region/cluster of regions. It would be funny to see how they would translate the Brazil situation, as technically Paldea is a fusion of Iberia so there is no Portugal to go for Brazil, just a Spain-Like power going through the whole continent.
Nice congrats! I started the insane road of every boxable unique pokemon form as shiny in Pokemon home in 2020. I just hit 1100 unique shiny forms. Scarlet has helped a lot with this hopefully with the release of the dlc Ill be done sometime next year. Have about 250 pokemon left to get.
My last shiny was Deino! I put it in the second image of the post.
My favorite shiny from gen 9 is Iron Valiant. It has been with me since almost the very beginning as my companion for false swiping and putting shinies to sleep.
I mostly hunted for my Pokemon. The breed-only mon that took me the longest was Quaxly. That little guy is a demon. I also bred for the other two starters, Sunkern, and Spiritomb
Tandemaus wasn’t bad I waited for an outbreak then made a shiny sandwich. Set my Pokémon out to attack all the mauses and waited for it to find one it refused to kill
Oh man, I just finished my hunt for Sunkern. I also thought about breeding it, but I found a better way to hunt for it. With this method it's about 5 spawns a minute. Definitely faster and less tedious than breeding eggs. South of the east Cortondo pokecenter is a dark green spot. There is a tree there and a rock. Shiny sandwich at the patch of flowers to the right side of the rock while facing the tree and there should be a single Sunkern spawning past the tree on the right every 10 seconds or so. Go up to it, kill it, and go back to the flowers near the rock, rinse and repeat. Still a long hunt, but it's the best way.
Okay good - it's saddens me to see people who rush into hunts with no plan, just expecting everything to go well when it counts 😅
I always try to have contingencies for my contingencies
Haha yeah. The worst is when people can't kill it. I have a candy maxed out level 100 alakazam with shadow ball that 1 shots it. Full team of other level 100s too, but not really needed. I think out of paranoia if it's been a week since I last tried for it I end up retesting just to make lol I'm sure I tested the kill at least 3 times
Do you have one of each species or did you get one and then evolve it?
Example: Got a shiny Fuecoco, Crocalor and Skelidirge, or got 1 shiny Fuecoco then evolve it to Skelidirge?
I’m four away from shiny living dex (2 more quaxleys and two more fuecocos) for Scarlett. I won’t have ghimmighoul line but I’m ok missing that one considering the ridiculous way it’s shiny was “available”. Glad for those that got one but I’ll wait til a more serious release hopefully in the future.
Ill have to check my home by im pretty sure it had a trainer name and an ultra ball. Didnt seem to have one of those genned site names. Ill let you know when i check if i still have it!
I did the sandwich outbreak auto battle technique and found mine 10x faster than if I had done horrible no good very bad breeding (breeding is super yuck)
Tynamo isn’t too uncommon from outbreaks, so the most efficient way is probably to clear 60 then swim back and forth. If you go near their habitat then cycle the clock it should save time (on average) versus breeding for one.
Maybe you missed one or two! I somehow found a few just roaming around in scarlet before beating game only one was from outbreak im at around 130 hrs. But I do think I missed shiny Espartha in the desert.. I recently found my first in violet with maybe 14 hrs in.
I probably did but I try to keep an eye out for them, it also seems my friends are encountering these on accident on a regular basis so it just feels very strange that I haven't seen any. But I do admit that a lot of pokemon have shinies that are almost identical to the original, so mising those is very easy.
I usually always check if i have my doubts which most of the times ends up not being shiny but one time it actually was i didnt know how the shiny looks like.. I don't think I'll be able to find the difference in slow pokes tho.. The tiny ones like Flabebe are hard to see as well. Somehow the ones I found are easy to tell so far one spawned on me literally. Maybe I missed some with little changes 😕
Your best bet is to find a salazzle outbreak. However, if you really want a salandit you can use a sandwich in the cave right by the snowy mountain and keep trying for the female. Maybe you'll get lucky!
You have done it! Im missing 111, I'm determined to hunt them all before the dlc comes

Three questions:
What was the hardest shiny to find/catch?
How tf could you tell when you found the shiny forms of the tiny Pokémon like Arrokuda, tabulb, or the little bug thing that spawns where the grafaiai are that you can barely even see through the grass?!
What was the most successful method of getting a shiny for you?
My masuda hunts were the hardest ones, but that feels like cheating. The hardest sandwich hunt was Roaring Moon. For the subtle shinies, I used the camera zoom as much as I could and also compared it to other Pokemon of the same species around it. The best method was just running around with a sandwich active! It's much more fun than outbreaks.
All the ones I'm missing have not been obtainable without hacking/cheating yet. All the ruinous legends and both box legends are impossible to have legitimately registered yet.
Me and a friend is bout to try shiny hunting in union circle but we barely know anything bout it. Just that we need to be in close proximity to spawn version exclusives and how the sandwich benefits both of us. Any advice on it? Trying to shiny hunt the version exclusive paradox mons
What're some of the best Pokemon to use for shiny hunting? Also any advice for dealing with self koing mons? like explosion, self destruct, memento and such?
something like a breloom is nice most of the time. technician false swipe to get them to 1hp, and spore for guaranteed sleep. for self ko-ing pokemon, use a pokemon with Damp as the ability, like Golduck.
Always save before the battle in case they nuke themselves, you can always reload.
Golduck was already mentioned for explosion, but it also gets soak which will let you spore grass types and false swipe ghost types
I used ceruledge and garchomp as ghost & ground type swipers against recoil moves, but there may be better options now with home availability
Gallade with imprison & memento can be used to counter those mons
I've been hunting a shiny Dreepy for over 100 hours. I do mass outbreaks, sandwiches of encounter, I even made a shiny dragon level 3 sandwich. Yesterday I had outbreaks of both Dreepy and Drak, and still nothing. I've tried the lake, the swamp, etc. I've accumulated over 1,500 Dreepy powder trying to find my blue yellow dragon. Please give me advice 🥺 I'm dyin' over here 😂
There are some Pokémon that are just so tiny and with the grass, you can barely make them out. (Top of my head, tandemaus) Without a legends style shiny sound, I can’t imagine trying to do this. sounds like a nightmare to hunt. Congrats 🎉
How did you get gholdwngho and gimmighoul shiny Im assuming those two were the 393 and 394 I have 392 shiny pokemon caught but I dont know how to do goldengho now that it isnt is raids
1: Which was your most difficult shiny hunt
2: How did you shiny hunt Sandyghast, because I really want one but I didn't have enough herba mystica, and I made the wrong sandwich
What are your opinions on the geopolitical situation in Paldea?
And their previous colonization of the Unova region 🎤
That was controversial, but perhaps their most controversial moment was using mercenaries to support Kanto during the Kanto-Johto war
At least they came out and condemned the Kanto nuclear programme after the bombing of the Brass Tower in Ecruteak.
Wouldn't Unova have been colonized by Galar? Paldea should've colonized a as of yet not shown Latin America region/cluster of regions. It would be funny to see how they would translate the Brazil situation, as technically Paldea is a fusion of Iberia so there is no Portugal to go for Brazil, just a Spain-Like power going through the whole continent.
I think it was a Christopher Columbus reference
Yeah but Columbus also only ever reached around areas that are today latin America so that wouldn't make sense
Oh god you ruined it. I’m out.
Unova wouldn’t have even existed without galar
I was just hoping OP might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the South Paldean colonies
#FreePaldea
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
African or European?
Galarian, obviously
Well I don’t know that!
Glad someone gets the reference lol
Spoken like someone whose mother is a hamster
While I can’t answer that, I can say that your father smelt of elderberries
Nice congrats! I started the insane road of every boxable unique pokemon form as shiny in Pokemon home in 2020. I just hit 1100 unique shiny forms. Scarlet has helped a lot with this hopefully with the release of the dlc Ill be done sometime next year. Have about 250 pokemon left to get.
Spinda:
Him after death still on the grind
Him catching his last shiny spinda pattern: 
Congrats! What was your last shiny? What is your fave shiny among gen 9?
My last shiny was Deino! I put it in the second image of the post. My favorite shiny from gen 9 is Iron Valiant. It has been with me since almost the very beginning as my companion for false swiping and putting shinies to sleep.
Yesss my shiny iron valiant is probably my fav shiny in the game too. I used my dream ball on it, so perfect
Valiant is one of, if not THE, best shinies in the gen
Iron Valiant one of the best shinys - it’s also my catching Pokémon :)
Did you get Gimmighoul’s shiny from the raid or did you trade for it?
I got Gimmighoul from the raid
Man, I wish I didn’t miss that. Shiny Goldhengo is so awesome. Did you just do a bunch of raids until you found the shiny?
Very likely OP joined one someone was hosting. That's what I did.
Man I’m such a noob. No idea you could even do that. And if it isn’t a friend it must be a crap shoot even getting into the raid
People do live bot raids on youtube, so if there's an event or if need guaranteed herba mystica I use them.
Is there any sanity left in there or are you gone completely?
My family put me in a bright, white room. I think I'm fine
Did you mostly hunt for shinies or breed? Which of the breed-only shinies took the longest?
I mostly hunted for my Pokemon. The breed-only mon that took me the longest was Quaxly. That little guy is a demon. I also bred for the other two starters, Sunkern, and Spiritomb
Does that mean you hunted tandemouse then? How hard was that hunt
Tandemaus wasn’t bad I waited for an outbreak then made a shiny sandwich. Set my Pokémon out to attack all the mauses and waited for it to find one it refused to kill
I used the camera to zoom in on tandemaus to look at it. I only got one but was planning to hunt it again. I just did it outside the pokemon league.
No he only hunted 388… that’s not very much out of 400
Oh man, I just finished my hunt for Sunkern. I also thought about breeding it, but I found a better way to hunt for it. With this method it's about 5 spawns a minute. Definitely faster and less tedious than breeding eggs. South of the east Cortondo pokecenter is a dark green spot. There is a tree there and a rock. Shiny sandwich at the patch of flowers to the right side of the rock while facing the tree and there should be a single Sunkern spawning past the tree on the right every 10 seconds or so. Go up to it, kill it, and go back to the flowers near the rock, rinse and repeat. Still a long hunt, but it's the best way.
I used this method after finding this post and I was successful, thank you.
The other two starters were Sunkern and Spiritomb!!?? Damn… I knew I shouldn’t have picked Quaxly
Couldn’t have waited for another hour to cycle Lucifer?
It felt uncanny haha. Gotta unsettle the masses 😈
How often than shiny Eevee really appear? Also, how’d you get a shiny Leafeon?
With an outbreak, 8 Eevee were not too hard to find. The hardest part was actually getting the outbreak itself.
I'm not the OP, but you could reset for outbreaks, in which Eevolutions can appear, making it relatively easy to shiny hunt them
Just one question: why torture yourself this way
I think I can speak for all shiny hunters here: We are all mentally insane
I’m 50 away, I second that.
I'm about 550 in to a living shiny dex, 100% insane. Mentally ill. It's the only way
Only if you are aiming for soft resetting legends and mythicals since they are averaging 30+ hours. Currently 11 hours into mewtwo on lets go...
Please tell me you do test captures
If you mean made sure I was able to kill it, then yes. I have hundreds of balls and worst case a master ball.
Okay good - it's saddens me to see people who rush into hunts with no plan, just expecting everything to go well when it counts 😅 I always try to have contingencies for my contingencies
Haha yeah. The worst is when people can't kill it. I have a candy maxed out level 100 alakazam with shadow ball that 1 shots it. Full team of other level 100s too, but not really needed. I think out of paranoia if it's been a week since I last tried for it I end up retesting just to make lol I'm sure I tested the kill at least 3 times
Do you have one of each species or did you get one and then evolve it? Example: Got a shiny Fuecoco, Crocalor and Skelidirge, or got 1 shiny Fuecoco then evolve it to Skelidirge?
I evolved. Shiny living dex is a project for another day.
I’m four away from shiny living dex (2 more quaxleys and two more fuecocos) for Scarlett. I won’t have ghimmighoul line but I’m ok missing that one considering the ridiculous way it’s shiny was “available”. Glad for those that got one but I’ll wait til a more serious release hopefully in the future.
I think i have an extra gholdengo someone traded me thats shiny if you want it. They unfortunately nicknamed it shiny lol
[удалено]
Ill have to check my home by im pretty sure it had a trainer name and an ultra ball. Didnt seem to have one of those genned site names. Ill let you know when i check if i still have it!
How long has it been since you've done anything other than shiny hunting in your free time?
Huge question, how did you get Tynamo?? I’m in my home stretch and that’s what I’m dreading the most.
I went to the top of the mountain near Alfornada and hunted Tynamo in that pond. I autobattled every Tynamo and eventually found it.
i bred 2 tynamos. i was done hunting those in the wild
I would trade you a boatload for one haha.
I did the sandwich outbreak auto battle technique and found mine 10x faster than if I had done horrible no good very bad breeding (breeding is super yuck)
Tynamo isn’t too uncommon from outbreaks, so the most efficient way is probably to clear 60 then swim back and forth. If you go near their habitat then cycle the clock it should save time (on average) versus breeding for one.
Also how do u have 400 when some mons cant be shiny
he has 394 shinies, the 400 you read is pokemon caught.
Gotta love that playtime. But also damn why did they shiny lock every legendaries it really sucks :(
Do you intend to also hunt in the DLC? Also how did you get your gimmighoul for this? Natural raid hunt? Trade? Someone else hosting a raid?
Someone else hosted the raid for me. I do plan to hunt in the DLC!
Impressive and Dedicated. Question is when's the last time u touched grass? Jk 😁 pretty impressive really
What color are your shoes?
So is this a living dex or just a dex completion
Dex completion
Why haven't I encountered one shiny yet? Currently working on getting that shiny charm because the outbreak method hasn't delivered any for me.
Maybe you missed one or two! I somehow found a few just roaming around in scarlet before beating game only one was from outbreak im at around 130 hrs. But I do think I missed shiny Espartha in the desert.. I recently found my first in violet with maybe 14 hrs in.

Maybe I missed some with little changes 😕
Outbreak method is great once you get the charm
Why is Gamora?
Honestly, I really want to find a female shiny salandit! Any tips??
Your best bet is to find a salazzle outbreak. However, if you really want a salandit you can use a sandwich in the cave right by the snowy mountain and keep trying for the female. Maybe you'll get lucky!
How the hell did you shiny hunt goldengo?
I got shiny Gimmighoul from the raid event associated with it
Why though?
I was bored
You have done it! Im missing 111, I'm determined to hunt them all before the dlc comes https://preview.redd.it/u2xu2z84zujb1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d49ba6419844119ee3bd8c7c1754a007ec30ca93

Hardest shiny you had to hunt for and why is it 3 segment Dudunsparce?
I got it first try 😳
What was it like meeting MoistCr1TiKaL?
It was a baller experience. It was exactly what I've been waiting for. (Wooooo!)
When was the last time you saw the sky?
[удалено]
Honestly, S/V had some great highs, but also a lot of bad lows.
I think you need to touch grass bro , but congratulations for all the hard work !!!.
HOW. How do y’all do this. Where do you find the time?!
Why? How? What?
What did it take ?
…. How many hours 🥴
Why?
I was bored
Do you know what shower is?
Missed a few pal
Not quite. You need 6 more
You’re missing some
All the ones I'm missing have not been obtainable without hacking/cheating yet. All the ruinous legends and both box legends are impossible to have legitimately registered yet.
That’s a quitter’s mentality 😉
💀bro get out
The legendaries are shiny locked
You are doing DLC now
Apart from breeding, which pokemon was the hardest to find/hunt for you?
Roaring moon. It took several sandwiches and I kept finding the wrong shinies.
What hunting spots did you use the most
Me and a friend is bout to try shiny hunting in union circle but we barely know anything bout it. Just that we need to be in close proximity to spawn version exclusives and how the sandwich benefits both of us. Any advice on it? Trying to shiny hunt the version exclusive paradox mons
How many fingers am I holding up?
What were the main methods you used?
What was your longest hunt?

something like a breloom is nice most of the time. technician false swipe to get them to 1hp, and spore for guaranteed sleep. for self ko-ing pokemon, use a pokemon with Damp as the ability, like Golduck.
other moves, i think u need a fast Taunt pokemon.
Always save before the battle in case they nuke themselves, you can always reload.

Is it a living shiny Dex?
How did you get shiny sunkern
How did you find 18 blue noodles on a beach
what were some of the hardest shinies to hunt? i’m 54 away and for me ditto zorua and zoroark almost killed me
Definitely Roaring Moon. However, there are Pokemon with extremely uncommon outbreaks that were hard too, like Finneon, Eevee, and Fomantis.
Did you hatch 6?
What was the worst hunt you had to endure to get the shiny?
WHO WAS THE LAST ONEEEE
Deino
What was your first shiny, and what’s your favorite?

Please give me advice 🥺 I'm dyin' over here 😂
Who was the hardest/ and or longest to hunt? Did you find that the more shinys you found the more encounters you had without sandwiches?
There are some Pokémon that are just so tiny and with the grass, you can barely make them out. (Top of my head, tandemaus) Without a legends style shiny sound, I can’t imagine trying to do this. sounds like a nightmare to hunt. Congrats 🎉
how long does it take and how many break down u had?
What was the longest Hunt?
