How the hunt works
Save directly in front of the Pokémon, start the battle, check the sprite, and reset if it isn't shiny. Every reset is one fresh roll, so the whole hunt is about shortening the reset loop.
Pokémon Blue has no shiny Pokémon at all, so this method is listed for encounter data only.
Tips
- •Skip cutscenes and text as fast as the game allows.
- •Turn battle animations off where the option exists.
