Have you ever SR'd for a shiny starter?

Congrats! I tried soft resetting in Diamond, but as a ~12 year old, i had little to no patience
Now, I just breed for my shiny starter.

I SR in pokemon soul silver I just wanted an shiny so bad when the game first came out. I transferred it from Soulsilver to my black game.

how much have the shiny chances risen in ultra s/m? it seems like every new game, they cut it smaller and smaller. they added the wormhole thing too so now im too impatient when shiny hunting since its become so easy i tried to sr for shiny victini, then learned about 500 srs in, that he was shiny locked

Yep, I got a Shiny Totodile in Heart Gold. Took 3 months lmao.

SuMo/USUM odds are the same as Gen 6 iirc.

I got 2500 in on Sun and wanted to neck myself, so I gave up XD

[Spunky]

tried to SR for a shiny cyndaquil, never could get one.
also training chaining for a shiny zorua in ORuby, I think I got around 1000ish in my chain and i just.. gave up. xD

Shiny rates haven't changed since gen 6, as far as I'm aware.
It's still 1/4096, assuming you're swinging at SRing for starters!

Adding onto that: having a Shiny Charm cuts the rate to 1/1365, and if you Masuda Method + Shiny Charm, then your chance is 1/512!

I'm not sure on the rates with Super Wormholes, Chain Fishing and Pokeradar-- radar's chances max out at 40 (there's a formula to calc shiny chance (you need an account to see links)), and fishing tends to start hitting shinies around 20-30 hits, -+5 or so.

As for gen 3-5, the rate is 1/8192, and in gen 1 & 2, it's based off of IVs.
Sure makes someone feel lucky for finding random shinies way back when, huh?


edit: doot doot did research, it's actually 1/1365 in Gen6 and on if you have a shiny charm
sure doesn't feel like it, i'm at reset #866 and still no yellow jelly

I've SR'd almost every generation of starters. The most noticable is in Soul Silver where I went WELL over 1500 resets and accidentally reset over TWO shiny Cyndaquil.

[Tiberonth]

Several times, but only once successfully; treecko in Alpha Sapphire. The other times I've quit because it's taking too long. I was going to SR for shiny Rowlett in sun but that cutscene... I had to give up.

I plan to SR a few ultra beasts when I have more time later on, unless a better method has emerged. How do you lot keep track of your reset count?
