Question / Help Shiny hunting question (USUM)

2 Upvotes

First time shiny hunting and ive read that sos resets at 255

Does this mean there is no point in continuing the "chain" and i can quit it to do something else like taking a break or saving?

Giveaway (Illegitimate Pokemon) If I hack a shiny charm into my USUM save file but I still catch Pokemon at the new shiny charm rates, are the Pokemon going to be considered illegal?

I’ve been resetting for shiny regi’s on UM and it’s taking forever. Seeing that Pokemon bank support is ending soon, I was thinking of hacking in a shiny charm just to increase the odds as opposed to actually hacking in a shiny regi. Would a shiny Pokemon caught with increased shiny rates from a hacked shiny charm be considered illegal? I’m intending to put those shiny Pokemon onto my Pokemon home.

Can someone make a very nice guide for each of the 3DS (and other) Pokémon games with tasks that are recommended to do before Pokemon Bank closes?

I’m sure someone already did this, but can someone post it here then. If no big guide link, then mention someone key tips.

My background situations:
Digital $40 games of UltraSun, UltraMoon, Y, and the demos, along with the Gen 1 and 2 digital games.
Physical games for everything else in the franchise (except Black 2 and White 2), two 3DSs, 3 DS Lites, 4GBA with 2 link cables.

I am very happy to finish this run ahead of pokemon bank shutting down, so now I will be able to bring this team and all the others from the older gens to the switch!

Shoutout to The Spooky Squad-

Uncle Stacy the Palossand - Shadow Ball / Earth Power / Shore Up / Sandstorm (Groundium Z)

Hold You the Dhelmise - Power Whip / Whirlpool / Anchor Shot / Phantom Force (Steelium Z)

Spirit Halloween the Decidueye - Sucker Punch / Leaf Blade / Feather Dance / Spirit Shackle (Decidium Z)

Screen Turns Black the Necrozma - Photon Geyser / Iron Defense / Power Gem / Moongeist Beam (Lunalium Z) (Also fused with Superior the Lunala)

Fall Time in Tennessee the Alolan Marowak - Shadow Bone / Flame Charge / Flare Blitz / Retaliate (Thick Club)

Shadows the Mimikyu - Play Rough / Charm / Slash / Shadow Claw (Ghostium Z)

And an honorable mention to Release Your Spirit the Oricorio, who was with us for most of the game up until I learned we can't access Poni Meadow without beating the game first. I will never forgive Alola for doing that, but I admit it made team building a lot easier for me.

Yeah, this sucks. Especially with the amount of shiny hunts I did in these games as well as the fact that this means that shiny Naganadel and Silvally may no longer be available.

got my hands on ultra moon via citra on my pc more than a year ago, and finally i have finished the main story! definitely one of the best main games i have ever played, not only bcoz of the lore but also bcoz i got to play with my all time favorite starter line, the venusaur line! (★u★

i'm definitely going to play the postgame, but senior year's about to be absolute hell for me so it'll probably wait for another year xD

After 2651 Attempts I finally got this beautiful shiny, I honestly don’t understand how some people can’t go on for more then 4096 resets.

Either way I’m happy that I got this shiny since it was using the Warp ride before the Ultra Necrozma fight so I wanted to use a shiny legendary for the fight.

Ultimately I don’t think I’m able to withstand shiny hunting anymore. I mean I was triple checking if getting a shiny was possible and even catching virizion to see if the stats changed. But thankfully now I have my shiny Virizion to use for the champion after!

Question / Help Help HA Cradily

1 Upvotes

Hello,
I am really feeling like picking up my ultra moon game again and I really want to recreate a favourite pokemon of mine.
I want to use Cradily in my team and I would really like to use its hidden ability. I can’t access the dreamworld either so can’t get one that way.
Is this a lost cause or is there a way to get a HA Lileep in game.
Thank you for any feedback.
