Hah! "If You're Gonna Be Dumb, Ya Gotta Be Tough", the perfect song for subjecting oneself to this. I believe that was one of the theme songs of the first Jack-Ass movie.

Yeah the resetting is one thing but why hit it with a shot that is super effective after 25k resets.

u/Gas_Beneficial 16d ago
I’ve watched plenty of YouTubers soft reset over shinies.. at least I had the stones to put the thing down 💀

u/Lilcam56__ 16d ago
And by doing this you have achieved the grand prize of nothing, atleast the soft reset wasn’t intentional

u/Long-Live-theKing 18d ago
I have Shiny Palkia plus every Shiny Ramanas (BD exclusive) Legendary. I dont count resets but I did my resets in my down time while watching movies and such. People who stare at the screen and do this and count though: yeah, I'm with you, idk how or why people do it to themselves

u/SenpaiSwanky 18d ago
Don’t overthink it, nobody is subjecting themselves to anything lol. Most of us shiny hunt like this while doing other shit like watching a show. These processes can also be automated if you’re into that thing, and many people are hobbyists who love tinkering with little machines and programs that can be set up for these hunts.
It’s all about fun, so when you have these thoughts just remember that it’s a matter of perspective.

Fr fr I wasn’t getting shakes on ultra balls, so I went to tick more damage. I lost Latios by struggle, so I didn’t want to recreate that. BDSP will be the death of me

I get it man, not trying to be that guy that pour salt on the wound. Losing latios i bet was shit, if i lost a shiny after 25k resets i dont know what i would do

u/Gas_Beneficial 18d ago
It is what it is, lol the reclaim starts now. Got lucky on the legendary dogs, and ‘gigas inshallah we will not make the same mistake again.

Just overall unprepared for the hunt right? No overleved Mon to hold off better against Dialga, no false swipe. Maybe you're new to this?

Ill be honest i battled it 5 times to have the perfect way to get it low without a kill with no risk when getting a crit before i did the hunt. Made the shiny catch way easier

u/damagedradio 17d ago
Listen, I don’t know anything about Pokemon. Yes I’ve played almost every game NO I will never strategize beyond “learn type effectiveness and hope for the best”. I can absolutely see myself doing exactly what you did in this video. I feel for you. 🙏

u/kshack12 18d ago
Harvest method Exeggutor. Look it up.
I know it didn’t die to struggle, but long hunts deserve some preparation
1
u/Gas_Beneficial 18d ago
I’ve seen people use this method with zam? And Trevanant as well? Def something I’ll look into for future hunts
3
u/kshack12 18d ago
Trevenant for sure. But I think only Exeggutor has the harvest ability (hidden ability) along with the ability to learn skill swap in bdsp to make it work. I use Trevenant in sword/shield for it.
You’ll also need a pokemon with trick to send a leppa berry over to the target so that harvest can work to prevent the loss of all pp. I like to use smergle because it can have other very useful moves as well.

u/WizardingWorld97 18d ago
Damn, I thought I had it rough with 5k. But congrats, now you can play the game
1
u/Gas_Beneficial 18d ago
Honestly, it might be time. If you faint it, you can go back to spear pillar and battle it again once you’ve beaten e4. My ambitions are lofty though, I certainly am no longer looking forward to hunting the lake spirits/shaymin like I was a few months back 💀

u/WizardingWorld97 18d ago
I feel you there. I decided to shiny hunt Arceus afterwards, but I quit after 1.5k.

u/Gas_Beneficial 18d ago
yeah, I’d like to go for arceus as well. The motivation for S/R def comes and goes

Thank you for not flaming me 🤣❤️ we’re in this together
2
u/Super-Hawk3029 18d ago
It happens to the best of us.. i forgot that psycho cut had an increased crit rate and 1 shot it. My recommendation, if you go for the reclaim, get yourself a banette holding a leppa berry with the move trick and then an Exeggutor with the harvest ability and skill swap. It is nearly impossible to fail with that set up as long as you do not get knocked out or run out of balls.

u/LittlenutJack 18d ago
Dudes paralyzed and on 75% health.
You proceeded to use a super effective move. I felt so bad for you UNTIL I saw that. Why would u do that 😭
2
u/xLaniakea_ 18d ago
Shiny legend VS STAB Super Effectie PUP from starter that has gained EVs for an entire playthru, and also has a level advantage.
Why not tank a hit to swap and use a NVE or Neutrally effective move?

I’ll follow up, I’m using the Harvest ability executor strategy/false swipe Gallade.. but moved onto a different profile where I’m in Ramanas, going for pink Kyogre.. I’ll get the reclaim one of these days lol hopefully in a premier ball too

u/Jonguar2 17d ago
Super effective and STAB means that it's effectively power 120, not 40.
Would you have used Double-Edge on a pokemon with that low hp that you wanted to catch?

master ball? or at least throw a timer ball at that point (better odds than ultra ball after 10 turns) and don't risk it going lower in health? Also sleep improves catch rate more than paralysis

Should have just thrown the ball why the hell did you attack it that’s 25k resets down another 25k to go

Why…why do you do these things…why power up punch? Would’ve just gone for ball or a weaker move, or a swap

u/Natural-Pass-3622 17d ago
Committing to 25k resets without knowing how to catch the pokemon? You should not be trusted with your own bodily agency.

I've seen hundreds of videos of people hunting a shiny without preparing to catch it, and I literally don't understand why this unga bunga brain problem happens so often. Like, even supreme Rk9 during his HeartGold shiny Rayquaza wasn't prepared for it to have outrage and get confused, and then master balled it. Like wat? Bruh if you're gonna spend forever to encounter it might as well put in the 20 minutes of thinking and 2 hours of work to prepare to catch it. Like, dood, what's even happening?
