No luck as of yet! A little bit more luck on Pokemon Go lol. Have you hunted on LGPE, and whats your best method of doing it?

Yeah, it’s easier to find shiny’s on a community day in Pokémon Go. For LGPE, the trick is to use a Max Lure and get a chain going by catching the same Pokémon consecutively. But be careful, not to encounter a different Pokémon or else the chain/combo will start over.

O
Are you sure the combo starts over? As i ran into another pokemon and it never stopped my bulba chain (at the time)
I’ll keep trying for more though , cheere mate
yo mate! I was trying to chain bulbasaur and in the space of 30/40 mins i seen a caterpie, weedle and pidgeotto, so 3 shinys was fine lol.

- A Pokémon running from you
- Capturing a Pokémon of a different species
- Saving and exiting the game (Note: Suspending a game does not break the combo)
Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu & Let's Go, Eevee - Catch Combo
Just looked it up, it’s the reasons above that break the catch combo. I wasn’t sure how my combo got broken, but thought it was from the encounter of another Pokémon whereas it was the Pokémon running from you. And yeah, Viridian Forest has lots of spawns so I can see why you managed to catch 3 shiny’s there. Too Bad you didn’t get the Bulbasaur though.

Ah ill keep that in mind!

It was not bad (for my standards) but ill keep hunting for others when i get the time to, im away for work so ill use that time to hunt. Hopefully ill get the wee shining bulba!

Hey BoomJinx, I’m doing good, just hoping the Lord Jesus has mercy on me. I was playing some Pokémon Go, did some raids for Zacian and Zamazenta. And God is good, I caught 3 shiny doggos and 2 shiny Pikachu in the train conductor costume lol. And that’s pretty neat that you caught a shiny Noibat, don’t think I have one of those from Go.
BoomJinx
Member
Good to hear mate!
Thats not to bad! I never really do/have time for raids, Im usually spinning stops and catching when im on route to work/home etc, the Mrs always moaning im busy trying to catch the ‘mons .
Ive always wondered can you trade on pokemon go? Never did it, whats your friend code? As i dont know anyone else who plays it
Shinys ive got on PokeGo is:-
Galarian Articuno
Simisear
Vullaby
Medicham
Stunfisk
Pancham
Pawmo
Grimer
Jangmo-o
Teddiursa
Timburr
Noibat
I also have 2 hisuian Sneasels and Yanma on the poke home app thing (sorry i am such a noob at all this stuff, it aint the same as it was 20+ year ago)

So you play when you’re driving? It would be safer to use an autocatcher like the Pokémon Go Plus Plus.
And yes, we can trade on Pokémon Go. We have to be at least Good Friends to trade so we’ll have to exchange a gift.
Shiny Galarian Articuno, nice. That’s so rare, how long did that take to get it?
And anything you’re looking for?
Pokémon GO
Friend Code: 5390 6286 7581
Pokémon HOME
Friend Code: UZZKAUAZFQXB

Naw naw, my Mrs can drive, i cant! Haha.
Ill add you on both of those when i get the chance!
I got the shiny galarian articuno on pokemon go the other day!
I need to see what the pokedex for shield/sword is, so i can use one or more on the playthrough (when i finally buy it) I honestly havent had much time to myself lately, family life eh.
Is there anything in particular your hunting/looking for?

So you’re looking to buy Sword or Shield or are you talking about the SWSH Pokédex in Pokémon Go?
And to answer your question, in Pokémon Go I’m looking for the shiny Galarian Birds.
BoomJinx
Member
Im going to buy either sword or shield for switch. So i was hoping i can transfer a shiny pokemon to that game for the playthrough (when i eventually buy and play it) ive never used a shiny on a playthrough before!
Well since you helped me a lot before, ill trade you the shiny gala articuno
. Im working today so i may not be able to do it till later. Im also in Scotland, Edinburgh, so time zones will be opposite from each other no doubt, im usually most free after 8pm here haha. I did add you on pokeGo, ill add on pokeHome later on

Well, for deciding which version to buy, you may want to take a look at the version exclusives here: SWSH Version ExclusivesIm going to buy either sword or shield for switch.

See what Pokémon you’d rather have although I can help you out as well with Pokémon. And to move your shiny to SWSH, just download and install the Pokémon HOME app on your Switch.
I’d rather not take your shiny Galarian Articuno from you, it’s really rare why not keep it? Besides it’s not often that Pokémon Go increases the trade distance, it’s usually just limited to local trades.
BoomJinx
Member
Cheers mate i’ll have a look at the exclusives. And if you can help when the time comes that would be top stuff!
I actually have Home on switch and my phone , but i need to check them both as im sure there diff accounts.
Im happy to be back into playing games and finding to complete dex’s, im not a collector probably like your self. And for your help before and even time to come, ill be happy to trade it if you really wanted it, what you thinks worth it ill swap, what shiny’s do you have that you would trade for?
Thats the best shiny i have so nothing else to trade haha

Well, I’d like to have it in Go so we would have to wait until they expand the trade distance. But a couple off the top of my head that I can trade are a shiny Zacian and a shiny Necrozma if you’re interested.
