First Shiny since forever. Short chain of 30 too.
Wished the nature it rolled wasn't Speed based., but then again I'm having alot of trouble understanding how Synchronize works with SoS chains. It would be nice if it was a 100% chance to sync, so I'd know I'm doing it right rather than just… not seeing it work. Are there videos demonstrating it?
From what I understand it's:
-Fainted monster with the desired Nature on the first slot.
-Synchronizer (does not matter what Nature) kills summoned mons AND be there to see new ones summoned in.
-Catch, and that's it...
Maybe I'm not doing it right, or maybe I am but having terrible luck with the 50/50 odds.
@.access:
The synchronizer will have a 50% chance of making wild pokémon have the same nature at the synchronizer if it is in the first slot of your party. If you place another pokémon as the lead, it will have no effect, you need the synchronizer as the lead (fainted or not) and the synchronizer itself has to be of the nature you are looking for.
That method of synchronize does not work because with SOS method the pokemon that is actually out is the one counted as first one. So if you want to get a desired nature shiny you need to battle with your synchronizer,
Same applies for a pokemon with compound eyes ability.
Unfortunatelly Abra line does not learn False swipe and we can not get ralts line before they allow the transfer :(
@Robby:
How many poor chained rockruffs must I murder before a shiny one shows up?
I lost track long ago but I've been switching out the lead mon every 15 or so, and I have had quiiiite a few rounds of that now. I'm close to running out of leppa berries to restore PP with.
Doesn't help that they're accuracy lowering so I have to keep switching which makes the process even longer… and some of them have vital spirit so they can't be put to sleep... and that I didn't think ahead about my false swipe monster having effect spore which... is bad for this.
I JUST WANT A BLUE WOLF, IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK
sand attack is really annoying. I have the same issue when trying to get eevee :(
@Hekti:
I made myself a Shiny Hunting Smeargle for SOS battles:
Runs with False Swipe, Recycle, Recover and a damaging move (I took Aerial Ace because it never misses). Holds a Leppa Berry of course
i have a similar smeargle but i tend not to use him. A/SpA stats are really awfull to be of any use when hunting higher lvl pokemons.
Thats one of the reason my Decidueye still has Leafage and Peck at lvl 74 you get 75 BP which is way more usefull imo.
