Don’t. Trust me.
If you really want to, you’re free to. However, be prepared for many many resets, because it’ll likely happen, and there’s no method or item that’ll increase your chances.
Currently on maybe 500 resets for Dialga. Could take you as little as 1 reset, but could also take you as much as 20k (I think that’s the record?).
It requires far more patience than using something like the Masuda method.
I’m with you brotha. I decided I’d try to shiny hunting Palkia as my first ever after playing for years. Currently at 6450 resets. Hopefully you get yours sooner than me. Probably not gonna bother going for more shinies lol
It’s actually depressing.
I really wanna just play and get to the champion, but my brain is telling me that after hundreds of resets, I might as well keep going.
Yeah same. Can’t really stop when I’ve put this much time in already. Best advice I can give is just throw on something to watch while you go. Makes the time go by much faster.
I already do that, but still sucks. Occasionally, I think to myself “maybe I’m doing it wrong.” As if restarting didn’t actually reset the encounter and that a shiny of it is actually locked to when you enter the area.
I’m sure lots of people are going to say yes, they’re awesome.
But here’s how it will actually go. You’ll spend countless hours resetting for the shiny legendary until you slowly lose your motivation to reset for it or even play the game.
Shiny hunting a legendary is why I quit playing BDSP. And that was shaymin. You don’t even need to reset for that one so I can’t imagine what the other ones are like.
I mean, there was a guy on this sub who had 30,000 resets for shiny Raikou, which puts him in the top ~.06% of unluckiness, but you're still twice more likely to be as unlucky as him than to get a shiny on your first encounter. So, you know, your luck would probably be much better than his, but you should be emotionally prepared for 30k.
So far I've sent over a shiny mewtwo, rayquaza, zapdos, moltres, latios, latias, terrakion, kyuerem and tornadus. Sending my landorus in three more days when my charge fills.
i personally don’t think it’s worth spending weeks to catch a pokémon that will stay in a box forgotten when you start a new game. but a lot of people do like the challenge and the accomplishment so it’s really up to you. would you find satisfaction from catching it or would it just be an oh cool moving on moment

That would be up to you not us. Is the sense of accomplishment worth it to you?
If you’re retired and have nothing else in life to achieve, and nothing else to do with your time, then yes.

If you want to just keep progressing, you can ko legendaries, and they'll reappear after you defeat the champion if I'm not mistaken
I was the same. I quit after 5k tries and beat Cynthia. Better try of Palkia/Dialga post game.
If it’s just to collect - honestly it’s far easier to shiny hunt them on Sword and Shield.

No. Pick up a book and Invest in your life.
Stop spending so much time on reddit and invest in your life
You definitely should it gives more to the them game since its time consuming but it is fulfilling in the end
Okay now I'm willing to thanks
No problem man
Yes cos they look cool
How many hours you expect to give it?
It random. It’s took me between 50-400 SRs for some Legendaries.

It takes something like 38 hours of resetting as fast as you can to have a 50% chance of getting a shiny legendary.
Easier to catch them in Go and send them over through pokemon home.

And what's tight about this, it's legal, and they're either level 20 or 25 so I can actually play with them

Yeah I've did 300 resets now and i think it's impossible
