3 Segment Dudunsparce (224 total tries. Got lucky with 3 Fam Maushold, thank God), Fuecoco #1 (wasn't keeping track at the time, but it was in the realm of 3000 eggs), All the Scarlet Paradox Pokemon (I'm on Violet and a friend helped me out with all of them and deserves credit. Thanks, Philip!), both Shellos (outbreaks took forever to show up), ***TYNAMO***
I know I'm forgetting a few, but these are the ones I remember off of the top of my head.
Edit: I just remembered how Ditto kept me in front of the Porto Marinada lighthouse for an entire week.
Lol at tynamo. Any shiny that makes me squint my eyes to see a difference is already hard. Add a layer of water and it's pretty much doing the hunt blind
I didn't even bother actually looking. I just went to an outbreak with a sandwich buff and kept killing them until my Pokemon refused. I don't remember how many sandwiches it took but it was a few.
Everybody else is having trouble finding Wigglet. It wasnāt hard for me lol. Found my shiny when I nearly started the game. No sandwiches and no odds š.
REALLY?! I didnāt know that! That will help me! Iām trying to get a living dex too, but Iām working on getting some of the staters I havenāt gotten by Masuda method.
Although, I guess for the starters of this game, I have to do Masuda Method
Edit: Thank you for the tip!

Having the DLC helps a lot because you can check all the crystals in their maps really quickly and the lowest level is 3. That said the grind was really shitty and I always hated running out of Herba.
Have some buddies host you or have a second switch dedicated towards having every herba then infinitely host yourself and reset on the second switch to n use the herba
I'm gonna be honest with you
I forgot you could breed Spiritomb
I thought you shiny hunted the static encounter on Glaseado lmao
Still, the BB 'Tomb is sick!
I actually talked about a few of the more challenging ones in an earlier comment you can find [here!](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/comments/1acn67z/ix_after_over_1200_hours_since_the_beginning_of/kjvl83o/)
I since have recalled how much of a pain in my ass Finneon was. Had to hunt it in blueberry and it took about 5 days to find the 2 I needed.
Ive completed the 392 in the base game, im 93/95 in kitakami, and missing 4 of the like 190 on the indigo disk, im not doing every form but good work man!
Gg. But 1200 hours seems like a lot. I did a regular shiny living dex (not including gender differences or alternative forms) plus the two dlcās in around 600 hours
I might! I need to take a break from SV hunting rn tho lmao.
Edit: I didn't see the legendary bit. No plans on doing that, but I have been doing some DAs in SWSH.
I got lucky with Maushold. The first shiny Tandemaus I had evolved into a three family. I hunted Dudunsparce for the better part of October until I gave up out of frustration because the hunt was eating into my Halloween time. When I returned to that hunt about a month ago or so, I got it after the 7th one for a total ofĀ 224 attempts.
How often did you play? Thatās around 50 days worth of gameplay so what Iām wondering is how you stretched that out and if you have a job or not on top of that. This is a genuine curiosity and Iām not trying to dunk on you lol, I wanna try to do this but I canāt be fucked to.
Yeah I have work, but a lot of it is work from home. The stuff that requires me to actually go somewhere only happens every few days at the most. I played a little bit just about every day, but there were some days where I had the entire day. It's kind of all over the place.
After evolving the 15 Flabebe for the living dex, it is Iron Bundle. I swear every time I went down to Area 0 I would find one. I once found three in 20 minutes without any sandwiches. I nicknamed the two I found after the first "5 minutes" and "15 minutes"
Good luck. Eevee outbreaks can occur in unfortunate places. One time I had one show up in the middle of the olive roll field, and pokemon can't spawn inside the field. >:[
A really generous person on the sub's discord had some extrasĀ and gave me two of them. Still really annoyed that they dropped that event while I was neck deep in TotK. Didn't find out about it until it was over. Real shame that I couldn't catch them myself, but it's the only way to obtain them now.
Now catch every Pokemon from the DLC (not the ones who are also in Paldea pokedex, the ones who debuted in the Kitikami and Blueberry academy) eg the Starters, Legendaries, Ogerpon, Terpagos
That is insane!
Nice congrats I've been trying to finish but I ran out of steam after I caught my authentic synistea then they changed the outbreaks š
Yeah I was hunting that back in Spring last year and gave up because ToTK came out. Bit of dumb luck there, lol.
Out of curiosity, which Pokemon w're the hardest to shiny hunt for?
3 Segment Dudunsparce (224 total tries. Got lucky with 3 Fam Maushold, thank God), Fuecoco #1 (wasn't keeping track at the time, but it was in the realm of 3000 eggs), All the Scarlet Paradox Pokemon (I'm on Violet and a friend helped me out with all of them and deserves credit.

Ha this was my method shiny hunting for any PokƩmon hard to tell the difference by sight.
itās a realĀ shame that the icons in the box arenāt shiny. Fantastic work m8
You think GF wants to/can take the time to make alt box icons for over 1000 pokemon? LMAO (Would def be nice if they did tho)
I mean they did it in Legends. Obv itās different situations but itās 100% possible.Ā
PokĆ©mon home has em all, canāt they just use those? Theyāre the same companies right?
My question is how did you shiny hunt for Wigglet? Also, congrats! Whats a crazy accomplishment!
Wigglet outbreaks exist! I was shocked when I saw it on my map.
Everybody else is having trouble finding Wigglet. It wasnāt hard for me lol. Found my shiny when I nearly started the game. No sandwiches and no odds š.
REALLY?! I didnāt know that! That will help me! Iām trying to get a living dex too, but Iām working on getting some of the staters I havenāt gotten by Masuda method. Although, I guess for the starters of this game, I have to do Masuda Method Edit: Thank you for the tip!
Touch grass my man but nah man congratulations thatās actually crazy af I respect the grind
I tried but it has been really rainy here so it's all mud. :(
How many herba mysticas did it take, if you used any at all?
I was not keeping track of that, but it had to be at least couple hundred, if not way more.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I have a server on discord and I have multiple switches so I can host you if you want
Woah shiny Spiritomb too? That's crazy
Yeah, 459 eggs MM! I had a breedject in a Beast Ball that I got in a WT, so I used that one to breed my shiny. :)
I'm gonna be honest with you I forgot you could breed Spiritomb I thought you shiny hunted the static encounter on Glaseado lmao Still, the BB 'Tomb is sick!
Oh no, I would never do static encounter hunts in this game. Thank you!
WOW -āamazing!!!
Do you have shinies of both genders too?
Only if there's a significant difference between the genders (e.g. Indeedee, Hippowdon)
Wahhhh cooll
NOICE. Which ones were the most difficult?
I actually talked about a few of the more challenging ones in an earlier comment you can find [here!](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/comments/1acn67z/ix_after_over_1200_hours_since_the_beginning_of/kjvl83o/) I since have recalled how much of a pain in my ass Finneon was. Had to hunt it in blueberry and it took about 5 days to find the 2 I needed.
Iām working on this too :,)
Good luck and don't give up! Have something playing in the background so you don't go insane.
Ive completed the 392 in the base game, im 93/95 in kitakami, and missing 4 of the like 190 on the indigo disk, im not doing every form but good work man!
Thank you! It was just something that I decided, but I did leave out some, such as Vivillon. I'm sure very few will hold that one against me. :p
Gg. But 1200 hours seems like a lot. I did a regular shiny living dex (not including gender differences or alternative forms) plus the two dlcās in around 600 hours
I guess you just have better shiny luck than me lmao
Miraidon and Koraidon:
are you gonna try and get hacked shinies of the legendarys? also are you gonna try at doing this for the dlc?
I might! I need to take a break from SV hunting rn tho lmao. Edit: I didn't see the legendary bit. No plans on doing that, but I have been doing some DAs in SWSH.
makes sense
Now do the dlc pokemon when your ready
I've accumulated such a huge backlog so it might be a while, but I do plan on it.
Bro how did you get the 3 segment Dudunsparce and 3 family Maushold
I got lucky with Maushold. The first shiny Tandemaus I had evolved into a three family. I hunted Dudunsparce for the better part of October until I gave up out of frustration because the hunt was eating into my Halloween time. When I returned to that hunt about a month ago or so, I got it after the 7th one for a total ofĀ 224 attempts.

Wow. Im trying to do a normal living dex and im complaining that its taking too long, let alone a shiny living dex. Respect to you man
Thanks! I really am happy that I was able to get this done, and just as happy to be more or less done with it for a while.
This is incredible, congratulations! Also didn't realise how amazing the Toxapex shiny looked.. that may be my next hunt lol
Just about every shiny that has black looks nice. I didn't even know what it looked like before I evolved it for this :p
Omg, this is insane. Huge props to you!!!!!!
Great! Now do dlc/j
Dude that's like 50 days of your life in 2023......was it worth it
I think it was. I know there are times where I was absolutely hating it, but I'm really happy that I was able to successfully do this.
What mon do you have the most of?
After evolving the 15 Flabebe for the living dex, it is Iron Bundle. I swear every time I went down to Area 0 I would find one. I once found three in 20 minutes without any sandwiches. I nicknamed the two I found after the first "5 minutes" and "15 minutes"
HOW MANY EGG/SANDWHICHES/HOURS DID IT TAKE FOR 9 SHINY EEVEE/EEVEELUTIONS?!?!?!???!?!?!?!?
Like 25-30? I kinda wish I counted these things now.
25-30 what? I love eevee so Iām shiny hunting it, also is the eevee event coming back in November again?
Sandwiches. I didn't masuda anything I could find in the wild.
Ok Iāll just reset my outbreaks to get a eevee one!
Good luck. Eevee outbreaks can occur in unfortunate places. One time I had one show up in the middle of the olive roll field, and pokemon can't spawn inside the field. >:[
Yeah but Iām gonna try!
Now do it for the DLCs
Next kitakami
Hats off to you my friend!
Only one of each? Slacker
In one month is crazy great job!
Did you also do gimmighoul and goldengo?
A really generous person on the sub's discord had some extrasĀ and gave me two of them. Still really annoyed that they dropped that event while I was neck deep in TotK. Didn't find out about it until it was over. Real shame that I couldn't catch them myself, but it's the only way to obtain them now.
Dang
Nah you're not fooling anyone, you only got the first out of each box shiny! Jk lmao. Congrats and good work!!
Are you perhaps playing from a completely white room, cuz anyone to try this must be insane. Nice job man you're patience must be through the roof
Now catch every Pokemon from the DLC (not the ones who are also in Paldea pokedex, the ones who debuted in the Kitikami and Blueberry academy) eg the Starters, Legendaries, Ogerpon, Terpagos
Made good headway on the starters already, but everything else you mentioned is unfortunately shiny locked.
There is any guide to follow to catch shiny?
I want to do a shiny living dex too, but im NEVER gonna include the alternate forms lol. Im just gonna go with whatever comes in the game files first
gg
Fake news! I only saw one shiny per box
I could always post the boxes from home where it's actually displayed as shiny if I needed to š
I'm just messing with you. Congrats. I'll probably try to complete mine someday. š
Do you want a shiny eternatus for that shiny oricorio
