Shiny Pokemon ID Checker[No Longer Works]

[Dr J]

It would appear this method of getting shiny pokemon is officially gone. Latest update made Instacheck HotSpot no longer work.

 

[violetneko]

Update? Did you recommand the computer to share? It could simply be a tech problem.

 

[Zeiro]

just an fyi, some people may disapprove of it anyway. using outside programs could be considered cheating.

 

[Dr J]

They did a exploit patch on Trade and Wifi Battles. And people are confirming that instacheck doesn't work anymore.

It was disapproved by a LOT of people[most of which used it anyway lol]. Also, there's rumors that cloning has been fixed as well.

edit: Nope, the cloners still get to be lazy and get their perfect IV pokemon from other people because they're too lazy to do the work themselves.

Darn. I never got any of my eggs checked in the end. Had a perfect vulpix waiting. It seems like very very few people got it to work though so not surprising.

 

[Dr J]

Yeah, too many requirements to make it work

 

[*Jordan*]

Aah, oh well! It was fun while it lasted!

 

[Dr J]

Sure was!(Too bad the cloners are still getting to cheat the system though)

Did anyone on this forum get it to work when it was a thing?

 

[Dr J]

I know violetneko had it working.

(edit: can anyone tell me what's going on with my title? I'm seeing the coding along with my actual title....)

Do any of you know if they lowered the encounter rate of shinies in the friend safari? Not that I have experienced anything, I'm just curious!

 

[Dr J]

I've never seen a shiny pop up there myself. Only wild shinies I've found are from the fishing chain method, which instantly makes them worthless because of how easy it is to get fishing shinies.

I've found three shiny pokemon there in the past: shiny electrode and two shiny drowzee, so I'm hoping the odds remain the same!

 

[Box9Missingo]

Yea hopefully. I've only run into one: a shiny Garbodor. Other than that, nada .

Yep and had a few eggs hatched as well. A Charmander, a Houndour and a Timburr. I'm very thankful to the people who took the time to hatch them as well .

Also been busy helping other's hatch their eggs too.

apparently there is a fixed rate in the FS for shiny Pokemon, and the more you encounter the same species of Pokemon, the % shiny rate goes down. Each time you enter the FS this value resets tho.

Pretty much enter the FS and save as soon as you enter, then find a wild Pokemon, if it's not shiny, soft reset so the value goes back to the highest it can be.

Like I said, this isn't really confirmed but back whenever I did it, I managed to get 3 or 4 shiny's in around half an hour,

This seems to go completely against the idea of chaining. But I guess chaining is a different mechanic

 

[violetneko]

Ah, ok, Jinjiro, I thought you meant Instacheck had an update. I haven't updated anything, so I wonder if it'd still work for me...

Jake, good to know! It'll make less wasted time in the FS :3

Oh well! Fun while it lasted! Guess the reddit giveaways will end... With a Tyrunt :3
You guys should check for last minute things too.

What chain do you people normally have to get for fishing shinies? I've had it at over 100 many times but I've had no luck yet. I wondered if having it too high was a bad thing but probably not?

For chain fishing most people typically get one around 40, it they actually last that long.

I'm lucky if I get get up to 7 in chain fishing . Still gotta practice more with it I guess. Will be trying out the FS method and see if it helps me in my shiny hunts.

Lucky. I love shiny Drowzees .
