[Gen VIII] Suprise of Captured Recording Feature of Switch, Shiny Thundurus Under 72 DA’s Encounters! (14/47).
Thundurus - 72 DA’s Encounters.
Overall : 14/47 Legendary/Ultra Beast Mons.
I didn’t known that the recording feature of recapping for a DA run is a thing until now, by holiding the capture button, the game would sent out the quick summary’s footage of catching the final legendary/ultra beast pokemon’s moment with the final selection’s screen for each single of DA’s run into your switch’s abulm, by holding the capture button on your joy-cons for 5 secs. (kindda impressed how that some people on this sub reddit managed to done this for their shiny own showcases before, until today to know it just an technical feature of Swtich, apologize for assumed that you guys used somewhat of a magical 3rd party fireware/app. to monitoring the specific period of a shiny encounter appeared for a recording lol).
Guess this one of many underrated features that were never introduced properly for Swtich’s consumers without reading off their pages of offcial manual and features’ settings, or through the internet. Enjoy for my updated post’s QoL moving forward! :V

Went just under double odds for Espurr about 11 months ago before dropping it and moving on. Finally came back to it today, this time with shiny charm, and found this after like, under 150 encounters :)

[Gen 6] Am I doing Dexnav shiny hunting right?
What I’ve been doing for a few hours now, is getting into the hidden encounter with the Eevee and running away since I heard that Chain doesn’t effect shiny rates at all and at regular rate it’s about 1/600 or something around that. Is I’m reading though that the 1/600 rate only applies to it if you chain it, via fainting or capturing each of the desired Pokemon you’re trying to shiny. Is that true? I also heard that search level is what increases odds from 0.01 to 0.16 at search level 999. This is confusing, does that apply to any hidden dexnav encounter or only if I’m chaining? Will the 0.16 percent chance apply if I’m just running from encounters while shiny hunting?

[gen 3] Got my first shiny ever!
Got this little golden guy! Is he rare? I’m used to thinking that shinies are 1/4096, but i’m also seeing that pre gen-6, odds were double, at 1/8192. Got him in about 32 soft resets, around 15-minutes of tv-distracted grinding.
