heh, shiny hunting is a grind, but that's the beauty of it. When you finally get that shiny, it's all worth it. Gotta play to win, and winning ain't easy. Stick with it!

If you're serious about maximizing your chances, do your research on shiny odds per method and consider using a shiny charm. Also, keep track of your encounters. It might seem tedious, but keeping logs can actually be really motivating and helps you stay focused on the goal. And never forget to take breaks. Burnout is real in shiny hunting.

Wow, and here I thought shiny hunting would be fun and easy. I just started and now I'm kind of intimidated by how long it seems to take... Any advice for beginners to not lose hope?

Tell me about it. I have days where I get NOTHING. But then there are those days where you get that one shiny and it's like winning a lottery you didn't even know you entered. Hang in there, bud, your sparkly friend will pop up when you least expect it!

Shiny hunting is definitely a marathon, not a sprint. What's helped me is setting up a comfortable space to play, having a routine, and not stressing about it too much. It's important to remember why you're doing it - for the love of the game and that amazing feeling when a shiny finally pops up. Just keep at it and remember, it's all about RNGesus in the end.

lmao why even bother, just hack the game and save yourself from the misery 😂 It's not like anyone can tell the difference.

been there, done that... it's all about persistence! sometimes i take breaks and do other things in-game or IRL so it's not all-consuming. maybe set daily goals instead of just endless hunting, like a certain number of encounters per day?

I feel you, shiny hunting can really test your patience. But that's part of the grind, right? One small tip that keeps me going is to mix it up. Don't just hunt in one way, try chaining, Masuda method, and dexnav if you're playing ORAS. Keeps the boredom at bay a bit. And always have something else to do on the side, like watching a show, so you're not just waiting on those sparkles.
