Might be the last shiny post on this thread from me for a bit... because I really want to finish up the rest of the shiny legendaries I need in ORAS (Tao Trio and Unova Genies).

I'ma try to chain a shiny Pikipek next. Hopefully that won't take as long as this Popplio.

Good luck! Toucannon has a nice shiny color, from what I can tell SOS Chaining is pretty quick especially if you turn off Battle Effects before going into battle. I haven't done SOS chains for shinies nor do I ever plan to, but I did use them for Dex filling and I plan on using them to get HAs in the future. I like to put Leftovers on the Pok?mon that I am using in the chain, that way I don't have to waste Potions to restore its health after so many turns have passed.

I have a specialised Smeargle set up with Recycle, Leafage, Soak and False Swipe while holding a Leppa Berry so that it can last long in chains. But once I hit the 255 chain, I may aswell start over as the odds for getting a shiny reset.
 
I arrived at the battle tree just to be able to get faster to the judge once I get 20 eggs hatched. But now I'm wondering how to check my own festival plaza ranks, as one of the ranks lists how much eggs have I hatched. Does anyone knows how to do so?

Umm, anyone? I definitely need to know how to do this, and I'm starting to get a bit frustrated about not being able to check them.

There isn't a way to check your records on your own, you'd need the cooperation of a second person who has you on their friends list to tell you what your records are (or you can get lucky and one of your visitors will want to compare records with you). It really doesn't take long to hatch eggs anyways, you should have had the IV checker by now if you were hatching eggs in between the time you made your last post and the post I am responding to.

Oh. Well, that sucks.

About eggs, now I kinda seem to restrict myself from hatching eggs unless it is for a pokemon I'm going to use online/the Battle tree. But there's not many I can use for them. I may try Eevee, since I also need Eeveelutions for my dex.

I really want to hunt for a shiny Growlithe but I'm afraid when I find one it won't have the ability I want (or even worse it will have the HA ew).
 
Half my team is weak to Fighting (as always) so when her Alakazam uses its 110% accuracy Focus Blast it's an instant kill. The rest of my team is too slow to strike first and therefore gets taken down before I can do hardly any damage. When I was chaining for a shiny Riolu I kept finding those that were faster than my lv 75 Decidueye.

I've never been good at strategy in Pokemon so I usually lose. I can't enjoy things like online play anymore because it makes me too upset.

If you can list your team I can try and help. Yes 3/5 of her team is high speed but that isn't the end of the world.
 
Hatching Eevees (and maybe other eggs) really seems less tedious, especially because of Tauros (and an area near the nursery). I may also try hunting a Shiny Eevee after getting both charms.

what are the Pok?mon in your team? maybe I could help.
 
Primarina's Z move will one shot Alakazam if he/she is high enough level. He can't really hit back too hard except with Psychic.
Primarina and Lucario are your best matches against Weavile, as neither take super-effective damage.
Mismagius will be easy if you send in Incineroar and use a strong dark move.
Salamence is kind of tricky because it has really good move coverage. Your best bet is Incineroar although Salamence is fast, so you might need backup (or revives) if he can't take the first couple of hits.
Lucario is your best choice against Snorlax, as it resists every one of Snorlax's attacks.

If you have Raichu holding light screen, send that in first to ensure Primarina can survive long enough to kill Alakazam. If you don't have the Z crystal, then your main water attack (sparkling aria or such) will do it although it might take 2.

If you still have problems remember that revives and potions are a thing, and they can save your backside.


Try this strategy. If it still doesn't work, post back what went wrong and let's see if we can work it out.

I got a pretty good battle tree singles going...

Buginium Scizor
Shadow Tag Mimikyu
Choice Specs Drampa

Came down to the wire on beating the end trainer of Single challenge... but Gramps the Drampa came through with a Berserk, Choice Specs, STAB Hyper Beam to do like a million damage
 
I feel like X-Scissor should have a higher crit-ratio. Especially since it can easily replaced by leech-life or lunge on some pokemon
