We're proud to present the
2nd THT Shiny Hunt - Hoenn Special.
The THT Shiny Hunt is a contest that challenges the contestants to hatch or find a specific Shiny Pokémon in a set ammount of time. The challenger who gets the best shiny will win an amazing prize.
For this edition, each contestant will pick a Pokémon from the Hoenn Region that is capable of Mega Evolving. This will work on a first come first served basis, and you can't pick a Pokémon that has already been picked. The list will be on the main post for you to check what has been picked already.
The list will be the following:
- Treecko
- Torchic
- Mudkip
- Sableye
- Mawile
- Carvanha
- Numel
- Ralts
- Aron
- Meditite
- Electrike
- Swablu
- Shuppet
- Snorunt
- Absol
- Bagon
- Beldum
RULES
The contest will work on the same principle as the Johto Bug Catching Contest. You have
4 weeks from now to hatch/catch the best possible Shiny. The method is entirely up to you. You can get it on Friend Safari, hatch it from an egg, use DexNav, soft-reset, use PokeRadar, as long as you get it yourself, don't hack and don't use Powersaves.
You can't use a previously obtained shiny to enter the contest!
The contest starts next Monday
5th January 2015 and will close by
1st February 2015.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
The evaluation will be made by myself based on several criteria:
-
Nature
(based on competitive standards)
-
Perfect IVs
(how many 31 IVs and what stats are they in)
-
Method
(Shiny Charm, MMing, Random Encounter)
-
Egg moves
In case of a draw, the following criteria are applied:
-
Speed
(The sooner you got your shiny, the better)
There will be no criteria regarding the tiers or the use of the Pokémon. A 6IV Shuppet will (almost) always win over a 5IV Mawile, even if Mawile is better at competitive battles.
SUBMISSION
When you get your shiny, you'll have to submit into this thread
and by PM to me:
1. A picture of your shiny
It has to show the nature and the date of capture. If it has egg moves, please show them too.
2. Details on your achievement
How many eggs you hatched? How many random encounters? Did you try to get a good parent? Did you just find it accidentally?
You can submit as soon as you want, but the results won't be evaluated until the end of the contest. If you get a non-perfect shiny, you can keep it and keep hatching. If by the end of the contest you haven't found a better one, you can use the one you got before, just like in the Bug Catching Contest. Your second submission will replace the first.
PRIZES
The winner will have the pleasure of getting a
Japanese Tanabata Jirachi, legit and untouched (but cloned), so try hard for it!
The contenders will also get SPs based on their classification:
1st - 120 SP
2nd - 90 SP
3rd - 60 SP
Every member that submits a shiny successfully and finishes outside the top three will get
30 SP as a consolation regardless of their position.
ENTRY
Just post in here what Pokémon you choose and that you want to enter the hunt.
Only requirement is the blue pentagon. Even the method is up to you, you may even use a random encounter shiny if you want.
