SergioAnibal Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I heard on the channel of a youtuber, that there is a ban that makes it difficult to meet shynis, is this real? It left me thinking since I've been playing for 7 years and I don't even have a shyni ot I attach the video, it is in Spanish, minute 2:25https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME6ubv0ZIHQ&t=350s Well, I would like to know if this is real, and if it is, my account has that ban? or some ban, how can I find out about that, thanks. nick: SergioAnibal Link to comment
SecretDjinn Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 It is not. It's been a belief created among the Spanish community to justify bad luck. No such thing as a "shiny ban" exists. It all ultimately boils down to luck, some find shinies in under hours, others take years to find their first. Just be patient. Teddiursa, berad1cal, SergioAnibal and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment

Well, 7 years playing, farming, catching pokemon, making hordes, training pokemon, raising pokemon, and exclusively dedicating myself to hunting shynies, yes 3 times in particular for 3 whole weeks, the first 2 only with the donor state, and the last with the Giver and the Shiny Amulet.

It took me 11 months to get a shiny karp. 98.000 solo encounters. It took me 1428 eggs to get charizard.. it is just random, if you really want a shiny go hunt it and stick to it till u get it! awkways and SergioAnibal 2 Link to comment

Quakkz Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 you gotta spam "JAJAJAJA :V" in allchat or have a female username to find shinies, otherwise your account is shiny locked Fixedgaming and Pecaeme 2 Link to comment

Pretty sure they said that it was only temporary. Also, I’d bet it lowers your odds but doesn’t push them to Zero (so not an outright ban on shinies). Also, you have to really be a bot for it to kick in. Link to comment

EssDeeCee Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 IIRC, a dev did say that some accounts do have different shiny rates than others. Link to comment

Vilgam Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I just watched the video, and the person mentions the anti-cheat mechanic, which reduces the shiny odds for players suspected to use a third-party software to automate their games. This was confirmed by Kyu and IT IS an actual thing. However, this administrator also mentioned that this doesn't affect the majority of players, just cheaters who hack the game, and it's not based on how many encounters you make. In your case it's just bad luck. Link to comment

Think of it more as a relaxing cruise instead of a hunt with your metal detector. Throughout my tenure here in game, I found 5 shinies and played back in 2013. Three on my main and two on my alt. My first shiny was Tentacool, but I couldn't catch it because I had no balls (and used my master ball on a Houndoom back in the day). One day, I was EV Training for Attack and a Shiny Carvanha encountered me. This time, I was well stocked for the occasion and tossed an Ultra Ball. I caught it on the first turn! Lastly, I was leveling some pokemon for one of my projects and then a Shiny Tentacruel came on my screen in the horde battle. I had to knock out her four other buddies and tossed some balls in her direction. That Tentacruel has now been caught. My two other shinies were caught on different accounts, one was a Hoothoot and the other was a Sandile. What I am trying to say is be patient and the shiny will eventually start searching for a player to keep him/her company. I knew a guy who has been searching for a shiny for years and another guy who caught a shiny Tentacruel while leveling a pokemon. Patience is key. Link to comment
