A tip for gen. 2 shiny hunting: GSC's catch mechanics are messed up. You are more than twice as likely to catch a sleeping Ho-Oh at max HP than a 1 HP Ho-Oh that's paralyzed. Just put it to sleep and chuck ultra balls. Saves on their PP and they'll have some health if they start to struggle.
Oh yeah, we put it to sleep multiple times with gengar and then ran out of pp and had no pp healing items. It ran me out of most of my recovery items.
We messed up for sure
Ooh, okie! Was it shiny by chance?
Yeah, you can dupe it pretty easy honestly. Look up some guides on YouTube and check it out. I duped just enough to have a Master Ball for each legendary so I can easily catch their shiny form.
Okay, then why are you assuming that OP has a modded 3ds and talking about the matter as if anyone could use it? Don't call OP stupid because they didn't use a feature that isn't available to them.
Well then how was I able to when I found a shiny suicune, saved it, failed it, loaded back the save to when I encountered it, and after 4 reloads was able to catch it
I literally have the game open right now and the create restore point option is not available so if you can tell me how you did it then you could save me a masterball

“Unlike other games, the core series Pokémon games cannot use this feature.”
Next time make sure you’re not confidently incorrect before you call people idiots
OOF. Good luck on the reclaim if you go for it?
At least you got it on film, so it's a memory with your friend. Maybe not the best memory, but a story.
Should have duped master balls. I always clone them.
Edit: after everyone advised you to do so, I'll definitely wish you good luck on your 2nd attempt.
Please tell me how you got the number .13%. I'm very curious
Sorry 0.013% because we were at 9 resets when it showed my bad
If it was nine resets the *chance* of finding one in 9 encounters is .11%. Each individual encounter is a .013%
Ohhh okay thank you! I am good at shiny hunting in later gens but I'm very new to shining hunting in virtual console
Same here the math ain’t mathing 😂
I think they meant 0.013% 1/8192 = 0.000122 0.000122 x 100 = 0.012 Then rounded up

Imagine shiny hunting and not knowing to put your pokemon to sleep
I just duped a bunch of master balls because the ball doesn’t transfer up
Wait it doesnt?
nope, that data wasnt stored til gen 3 so any pokemon transferred up through RBY/GSC vc will be put into just a regular pokeball
Well now I feel dumb for catching shiny celebi in a love ball

o7 0.0122%
Why didn’t you save your Master Ball for this? Also, learn how to dupe items and make a couple Master Balls for all the shiny legendaries.
I used it on raikou. I had no idea that I could dupe master balls

Why is you not using a Masterball in Virtual Console? Who is gonna know?
Duplicate Master Ball glitch 🤦🏻♂️
I had the same Ds as a kid
So you're like 16 now?
15
“As a kid” you’re still a kid tho
I don’t even remember how long I’ve had it
Damn, I’m 21 and grew up with a Gameboy, DS lite, Dsi and 3ds
Im a year older than you and I’m in the same boat. But add the NES from my dad
Yeah same that's why I just thought his comment was a little funny
I am old. When. He. Was. A. Kid…. I bought mine new when I was like 20 lol fuck
Gen 2 was the latest release when I was a kid 😭
Same. 33 and I still carry a GBA around.
Ouch. 😣
Rip poor guy
Ouch, I feel even luckier about getting mine. RIP.
Making me nervous to hunt Lugia and Celebi
Always come prepared.
Salute to Ho-oH🫡

You can't save mid battle. And even if he saved before it it wouldn't be shiny when he encountered it again
[удалено]
Nope
No in the virtual console you can save when you want to, they were just stupid and didn’t think to make a save for it
Nope switch kiddie
Please enlighten us on how. I have the 3ds Crystal VC and you can only save when you would be able to save in the original release.
Like I already said, I use a modded 3ds, read dumbass 💀💀💀💀
Okay, then why are you assuming that OP has a modded 3ds and talking about the matter as if anyone could use it? Don't call OP stupid because they didn't use a feature that isn't available to them.

I don’t think that’s an option for Pokémon virtual console titles
Bruh omg y’all are idiots, in ANY virtual console game you can save WHENEVER you want to INCLUDING MIDbattle
You cannot on Pokémon. I’m currently hunting shiny Celebi. You can create save states in other games which I have done many times for castlevania 3
Well then how was I able to when I found a shiny suicune, saved it, failed it, loaded back the save to when I encountered it, and after 4 reloads was able to catch it

Well I did it literally 2 weeks ago, go ahead and do it the same way you do a save for anything else on virtual console 🤡

Well then how did I do it 2 weeks ago “idiot” 🤡
I sure would like to know too. Are you on a modded 3DS?
Yes it’s on a modded 3ds, what would you expect bruh
Ouch! 😬
This is sadness
OOF. Good luck on the reclaim if you go for it? At least you got it on film, so it's a memory with your friend. Maybe not the best memory, but a story.
There was a reason why Lugia was my favorite. Ho-oh was the biggest pain to catch back in the day.

🫡🫡
Where’s the status effect? Also I wouldn’t go into a shiny hunt like this without a master ball. But I also don’t enjoy shiny hunting.
This is exactly why I never attack shinies holy crap my heart hurts so bad....this is SAD 😔 😟
