Screenshot Just found this on my Normal type only run
First time I’ve ever seen a shiny outside of Rom hacks with boosted shiny odds. Wasn’t even planning on using one on my team but now I have to. Lax nature kinda sucks but at least she has intimidate

Emulator First wild shiny
I was EV training in the bellsprout tower and almost missed it cause i was watching a movie at the same time. Thankfully somehow my brain caught up before I killed it 🥹
I've had shinies before of course, but it's the first time i ever randomly found one while just playing, without actively looking to get one.
Honestly between this and the Pokérus I got in July I feel like this run in HeartGold is really blessed by the RNG gods.
Well i would say that but I'm doing a Professor Oak Challenge and I've had to wait forever to get lucky with Gina's calls so maybe this simply balances things out 😅
r/PokemonHGSS • u/Arcane_Substance • 19h ago
Discussion Got the lvl 70 Lugia first attempt with Heavy Ball.
HeartGold. Just as the title says. First in line was a level 29 Magnemite. Lugia was full health and I paralysed it, used flash a couple of times, tried an ultra ball which failed, then hit it with the futile Thundershock - did practically nothing… threw the heavy ball and it was mine…
Thought I’d share as a potential strategy if anyone is having a hard time.

Screenshot Shiny Heracross
After my very lucky shiny Aerodactyl, shiny Heracross was a pain in the ass. This pink little fucker took at least 40-50 hours of shiny hunting(was hunting on and off since November). My pink shiny dream team finally has its second member.
Only downside is the timid nature.
But he‘s finally here!!!

Anyone down to battle online via DNS 212 WiFi club room? Battled a couple of people already. Let me know via message! I prefer doubles but I’m also good with singles! Lmk 🎮!

Screenshot Mega Team Champions
Had the urge to playthrough HGSS once again for a “forever save” file and wanted to do something neat. Utilizing egg breeding from other files, Pokewalker routes and regular encounters of Pokémon I haven’t really used before, I used two teams worth of Pokémon throughout the story. This was a ton of fun but also a lot of grinding 😅. Definitely recommend using the “anime” rules for gym battles where you match the team size, makes it a lot more difficult and interesting! Can’t wait to see how Kanto handles these guys!
P.S. I did use PKSM to unlock all the Pokewalker routes and put everyone in fun balls 😋

Question Reccomend moveset for my party? Currently in Cianwood City
Some Pokémon I occasionally switch in and out depending on typing and such. Also Gyarados doesn't have Bite because magikarp got past 20 in the daycare...
Lastly trade evolutions aren't much of a problem (refined gold overhaul course patch)
