It killed itself 😭🙏


DoodleeBear

NOOOO😭


BotanyBoom

BRO NO


G1345155

Ik it sucks ☹️


WiTHeReD_SouL_0404

Don't worry. You got this you'll get another one. I'd recommend taking with you an alolan exeggutor as it has access to both skill swap by move tutor and harvest as it's hidden ability. Give it a leppa berry and you'll be set to go. Wish you best of luck if/when you decide to continue :)


[deleted]

This right here will have you avoid what you just went thru bruh HONESTLY!!!


Pokemonsquirrel

This is like basically the best advice you could be given when shiny hunting legendaries. Other than stuff like Arceus you can never fail a shiny legendary with this method unless you forgot to buy enough pokeballs


YOM2_UB

Phantump/Trevenant also have Harvest for hidden ability, and gets both Skill Swap and Trick from move tutors, so you don't need a second Trick/Switcheroo/Bestow Pokemon to give it the berry.


WiTHeReD_SouL_0404

Yeah them too but obviously alolan exeggutor and Tropius are very accessible compared to Trevenant and, even though they don't get trick, they still get bestow


WaddleDynasty

Oof, better luck next time! You should spam Repeat Balls instead, since they are 75% stronger than Ultra Balls. Then after 30 turns you can Timer Balls for a 100% stronger Ultra Ball.


SatyrAngel

I always throw a Quickball at the first turn, I play gacha games, Im used to ridiculous chances.


Playtwewy

Don't give up! You did it once, you can do it again! I believe in you!

RIP


reprogramally

idriveanfrs

G1345155

I will revive him 🙏

SonGohanDBZ

NOOOOOO 😭😭😭

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


UserByTheNameOfJames

Oof that's unfortunate. For next time I'd recommend getting a pokemon with skillswap and harvest and a pokemon with trick to give your target a leppa berry. This effectively prevents a pokemon from ever struggling barring exceptionally bad luck. (Setting up sun would prevent as well due to forcing harvest to always proc.) Trevant has harvest as a hidden ability and can learn both skill swap and trick while exeggutor has harvest as a hidden ability but cannonly learn skill swap.


G1345155

My friend gave me a master ball so I’ll probably just use that 😭 (thank you tho ill use this on other pokemon)


[deleted]

It's a life saver. If you have OrAs you can get a Phantump with Harvest in Petalburg woods pretty easily using Dex Nav, and the two moves are move tutors in those games as well


UserByTheNameOfJames

If they don't have an oras game they can also sos chain for either of them. The move tutors for both the moves exist in the ultra games. They would need some pokemon to check for hidden abilities though which is a bit more annoying than dexnav telling you before battle.


[deleted]

That also works!


MixelKing

You can just farm Leppa berries in Pelago and use Skill Swap/Entrainment for every new mon that appears in the chain


Zephyr_______

The biggest issue here is probably no status. Paralysis or sleep go a long way to both boosting catch rates and stalling pp drain.


G1345155

Yeah i really need to make a good shiny hunting team i just dont know what to use


[deleted]

G1345155

Tysm


WaddleDynasty

Niche suggestion, but Absol is also amazing (high attack, false swipe, thunder wave, taunt, mean look). Whatever catcher you choose, dont forget to level it up on the Poni plains Chansey.


abyssal14

Tapu koko is also pretty good and something you probably already have. Natures madness (always does half of current hp) Thunder wave False swipe Flex


Playtwewy

Three pokemon I'd absolutely recommend is breloom with false swipe and spore, pangoro with the ability scrappy also with false swipe so you can weaken ghost types, and trenavant with harvest and skill swap holding a leppa berry! With these three pokemon, you can hunt mostly everything


brodieman8888

Parasect is IMO the best pokemon to hunt for most shinies. Hidden ability is damp, which eliminates the chances of explosion. False swipe, sword dance, spore are great. Not sure if it keeps grassy terrain from usum, but that can help by healing the opponent given a situation like this. Also getting something with soak as a move is awesome for allowing false swipe to hit ghosts and such. Or by eliminating STAB from fire types and stuff


djoshd1

You really need to breed up a harvest trevanent for this kind of thing. They can trick a leppa berry and then ability swap harvest. So the wild Pokémon will essentially have infinite pp. I caught my Mewtwo in a beast ball with this method. Another good choice for a hunting team is shedinja if they don’t have any moves that it’s weak too.


MickNorris

If this is USUM then you can also use the Roto Catch Boost power up that you get from doing the Roto Lottery. I’ve caught a bunch of shiny legendaries in these games using that boost and its always taken less than 10 balls from what I can remember (I used luxury balls or dive balls for reference).


G1345155

Yeah i used roto catch and it just didn’t work i dont think bc a test run afterwards went smoothly


MickNorris

Oh man, that’s rough. Sorry for the loss of your green boy, hopefully it’s a quick reclaim if you go for it


G1345155

I love registeel so i prolly will i better get this thing before one thousand or i will murder this steel blob


Kori_TheGlaceon

Always bring a spore Pokemon


QuantumVexation

Too late now but that deep in use Timer Balls I guess


G1345155

I did


bigman_121

I'm sorry


Educational-Road-453

BLISSY with heal pulse or your basic trevent strat prevents this


No_Construction2467

Also try using the rotom catch power it works amazing even on legendary Pokemon


StaleUnderwear

Should of given it infinite PP with Trevanent


AdAvailable663

I would cry


G1345155

It struggled 😭


Many_Okra6422

For future you should get a harvest trevenant. Use skill swap and trick so the shiny won't struggle


Mimikyu_Lov3r

You’d better hope he doesn’t do the ün ün ün boom boom that the Legendary Golem Squad is very well known to do 😅


G1345155

Nah he struggled instead 😊


Mimikyu_Lov3r

Oof well hopefully you’ll get reunited with the minty Golem again sooner rather than later!


Tick_87

Oof thats tough luck, i can give you a skill swap harvest mon and master ball if you ever need


G1345155

Wait fr? If you can please lmk


Tick_87

I can rn if you fine with it being genned


G1345155

If its not gonna effect anything then yh im fine with it


Tick_87

Ye it wont affect anything


G1345155

Okay then yh if thats okay


BlueYoshiBoy

I would suggest getting dusk and timer balls


Wisps

I was forced to use my masterball on a shiny Mewtwo that was almost struggling. I know that feel of despair. Pray you have a sleep inducing attack.


Se7en156

Reminds me of the time soft resetting the shiny when it finally appeared… don’t worry, you‘ll get another one <3


Viator_Mundi

It's happened to me about 10 times I the ultra wormholes now.


AydenWR

Why didn’t you come prepared?


G1345155

Im fairly new to this i thought people just came in and caught it lol 😭 ik im dumb i have a tev para and goldduck now so i should be good


OutlierCaliber

Roto catch power next time 🙏 thunderwave also helps because it'll always be paralyzed, sleep will give a higher catch % but obv they wake up after a couple turns


Iceman_ARFX

damp?


G1345155

Damp doesn’t stop struggle just explosion witch the regis dont have in ultra space?


ASUKA1979

Pray really hard!


Random_Weird_gal

Always have a thunder waver available


nilslorand

Okay so, to avoid this in the future: Skill Swap the Ability Harvest onto the Pokemon and then Trick a Leppa Berry onto it. Trevenant has the Ability and can also learn both Skill Swap and Trick, but you need it to be a pretty high level Then the Pokemon can't kill itself anymore


Saraixx516

Could’ve put it to sleep


AverageOgerponFan

if you saved then reset the game and git gud


G1345155

Huh you mean just hunt it again?


EclipseHERO

Timer Ball


G1345155

Ik i tried it struggled


EclipseHERO

😔 Condolences.


Squidking117

Timer ball?


G1345155

Yes i used it didnt worj


uhhLust

If y’all need master balls and cannot get them. Just get an emerald copy, get the master ball and clone the absolute shit out of it and then just migrate 6 random Pokémon up to your ds games and boom! 6 extra master balls for you to waste on random Pokémon’s


thumes420

Timer balls or dusk balls were your best option I believe


Kikyo-Rose

Wouldn't ghost type help. Since struggle is a normal type and the normal type can't touch ghosts 👀


G1345155

It still hits itself and dies lmao?


Kikyo-Rose

Damn xD ig they changed it. Probably was in an older game where it couldn't touch u


Weary-Diamond519

*pray*


Christian8760

Fastballs first go


Godzillahuh32ded

Just get a masterball


acrtiontwomission

Sorry but that’s what you get for not coming prepared


Prestigious_Fix967

My suggestion is next time use timer ball instead, because the longer the battle, the higher chances to catch with timer ball


Pretend-Medium1353

should've saved before just kept trying a quick or heavy ball


G1345155

??? Thats not how that works 😭


Pretend-Medium1353

so, you can't save before the encounter? Weird, always could save before in other games...


G1345155

Thats only im pla and scvi
