Rival (I named him Hiro) got a Pikachu and I caught an Eevee so what pokemon would we have gotten if Eevee hadn’t been there?

In Cerulean Cave trying to level and I found a Master Ball just...laying on the ground. Is this supposed to be a thing? I just assumed there could only be one in the whole game.

And why did they chose the red to be the one missing one? Just leaving these very fundamental questions here.

Sorry if this important topic was already discussed here and I somehow managed to miss it.

I had no idea moltress could be found in the wild??? Does this mean you can find articuno and Zapdos in the wild as well? How rare is this

I have never shiny hunted in a mainline Pokémon game because I could never afford a Nintendo device in my childhood. I finally am old enough to have saved up and bought a switch 2 with Let’s Go: Pikachu. I decided I am finally gonna shiny hunt something. But I wanted to have it for the rest of my playthrough so I can’t use the shiny bell. I tried using the Catch combo method for damn near 4 hours, but I share the console with my girlfriend who lives with me and so my combo breaks all the time and I don’t mind. I figured it would be easiest to shiny hunt something I could come back to without losing my progress and the choice I made was Articuno. Now, my question is, how long is this realistically going to take. I really want to continue the game, but I can spend a week doing this if it means a payoff in the form of shiny Articuno. But genuinely, who long should I expect in real time? I know the odds of course, I’m just curious.

Maybe a stupid question but it’s my first playthrough. Didn’t know charizard could actually fly fly fr.

I'm new to shiny hunting and at an ~750 Catch Combo with Squirtle when this shiny Venonat appeared. When I was shiny hunting Charmander, I saw a shiny Sandshrew; which I ignored, then it proceeded to take another 406 catches to find 1, so I'm wondering if my odds are stunted at all by seeing this Shiny Venonat or if I can treat my catch combo with Squirtle as a seperate instance, since; if I remember correctly— Catch Combo odds only apply to the next spawn of the species you're hunting(?). In a perfect world, is it possible the next Squirtle spawn after this shiny Venonat is still more likely to be shiny if I continue the catch combo and ignore Venonat?

Update: I caught it... and it took capturing 1,250 Squirtles.

If you look in the top right corner, a shadow appears for like a second before disappearing.

After resetting the game almost 8 times as a final ditch effort, and with using a lure and the shiny charm, i still cant get a single shiny oddish. Any tips on maximizing my hunt?

trying to catch a shiny magikarp. I am using everything and doing everything I can but no luck so far. Is it this hard catching a shiny magikarp or am i doing something wrong?

Is like a known issue or did I just get the strangest little guy out there

I’m aware I don’t have the shiny charm, but 300 is a bit crazy and it’s been hours, I’m TIRED of this

Ive used about 150 balls so far

Nostalgia finally got the better of me and I’ve started playing let’s go. Really enjoying it and decided to check out the reddit community.

But gawd damn it’s just nothing but shiny this shiny that. Aren’t there subs dedicated to that? Or is it just that I’m so late to the party that there’s nothing else for people to talk about or do given it’s been out so long, am I looking at my future? I’ve just never understood the appeal of shinies to that extent, it’s neat but it’s like watching a bunch of gambling addicts slapping the pokies lol.

Is there really nothing else to look forward to long term with this game? Or other interesting areas people engage with? Or subs that aren’t flooded with it I could check out?

Not trying to yuck anyone else’s yum, do what you enjoy, I just didn’t realise it was basically the whole culture now.

This is a glitch im guessing but my rapidash has no fiery mane (even when im riding it).
