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?
This is my Hail team v2! Froslass lead is replaced with Weavile, who provides Fake Out and Taunt support so I don't lose to a Steel type, Trick Room, Dragon Dance, etc. turn 1 and I can get up Aurora Veil more often without sacking a mon. Also Vanilluxe has been replaced with Mamoswine in the back. Mamoswine is mainly there to spam Stomping Tantrum so Rock, Electric, and Steel types aren't getting free wins against me.
But one side effect is that the team is much weaker to rain. For the last team, this battle would've been very easy with a switch to Vanilluxe to immediately set Hail back up, Aurora Veil turn 1, spam Freeze Dry and Thunderbolt a bunch and I win easily.
But with this new team, it's much more awkward to reset Hail, and Ninetales has to do some very heavy lifting because no one else deals with Water types well. As the battle shows, Ninetales is just a tad on the weak side.
There's also one thing that stays the same with this team: Rotom-Wash is the bane of its existence. Last battle, the opponent hit the 50% accurate Thunder, 80% accurate Hydro Pump, 70% accurate Focus Blast, and 90% accurate Hyper Beams. This battle, I ended up having to leverage accuracy again in much the same way to hope for an eventual miss. So already this team may not be much of an improvement.
I spent a very long time trying to make this first version of my Hail team work. I made it to the 40s repeatedly. I even made it to Blue once. But it was constantly coming down to luck, avoiding Colress, Mega Metagross, various Electric types, Mega Tyranitar, etc., and every game was super dependent on Gyarados staying alive in order to win.
After this, I made some adjustments. Ninetales was the core of the strategy, and Gyarados was the MVP, so I decided to change the rather redundant mons and give myself more consistency and more strength against Electric, Rock, and Steel types. That would become my Hail team v2.
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.
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.
I haven't played S/M or US/UM and I plan to soon. I know the ultra games deviate from the og in terms of story so I want to experience both for the apparently better story and gameplay. Because of the exclusives, I've decided to play S/UM or M/US but I'm not sure which way it should be.
I'm thinking M/US since I like Blacephalon more than Stakataka but I really like some of the Moon exclusives and I don't know if the Ultra game should feel like the full/"definitive" version of my Gen 7 games (if you get what I mean?) since it's the last one. Doesn't help that I like the look of the Moon games more but prefer the Sun games Ultra beasts.
I know the island challenges change between games and versions but I'm less knowledgeable of those so opinions on those would be cool.
Guys, 2 games. Not 1, not 3. Just first release, then Ultra.
Also cause fans make the giant cat sit in a box fan art!!

As Pokémon Bank closes next year February I am looking for some helpful trainers who would like to help me recomplete all my Pokémon Games.

You will be able to play the game from that point onwards.

Id like to RNG manipulate the legendaries, fossils and stationary Pokémon. I will update this post with the details later.

I heard that pokémon Bank is shutting down and decided to hunt on ultra Sun before I can't transfer them out I'm almost 500 resets in and I'm going for it at full odds
This capable has max defense max special defense i have zero steel types zero poise types it resists half my pokemon on my team I havent saved in the past 2 hours of playing it also somehow manage to get water vail so its healing every single turn because of metronome genuinely what do I even do
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
Speedpaint video is right here
The art took me a while to finish due to real life things, but I did it :)) Have the funky Jellyfish Duo watch some jellies. This is a very normal aquarium visit :)
To think I was nearly twice over odds, I thought I might have either miscounted, or just failed to spot the shiny! Either way, all paid off well in the end.
I made my pokemon accurate to their names some are just designed because of their nicknames
Pokemon caught= 4
Location= Hau'Oli City
Trials done=0
Deaths=0

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!
