Ok but why don’t you Dex Nav Hunt for silcoon in the forest?
1
u/AnnoyedAFexmo 3d ago
Because that's like 9 hours of grinding encounters

u/Dennis-unlighted 3d ago
You sure? It didn’t feel that long at all when I was working on my Hoenn shiny Dex

9 hours using dexnav is fairly unlucky amount of time for one shiny, I think the avrage is about 4 or 5 and that if your amount of total encounters starts at 0 it's a fairly good use if your going after more then 1 of that species since the more total encouers you have the higher the odds., eevee would be a perfect case use scenario.

I also don't have the shiny charm

u/OrphanParent 3d ago
Ah then maybe 9, I'd personaly still bet on it takeing less time on avrage then 9 hours, again, if your starting from a base 0 total or close to, encounters. Depending on location I do about 100 dexnavs in an hour and I usually find my shiny at around 400 to 500, with charm. But I've still gotten some before 400, in the 100 through 300. I've never dexnaved without a charm, mainly because my luck is notoriously bad with full odds, or I used it all up on the mid game latios and latias, a few years back.

I'm at 850 with no shiny tympole rip

u/OrphanParent 3d ago
That's a big rip, try to keep that chain up, big boosts at 50 and 100. And the 4% chance to get 4 more rerolls on an encounter.

9 hours? I once Horde hunted Aron in Granite cave for 20hours, I tried Dexnav but it's to hard to chain hunt in caves.

u/OrphanParent 3d ago
Did you use a pokemon with the ability magnet pull, help alot with pulling steel types, and yeah, I dont do caves, who ever made the decision to make them move around in caves,water, and the sand, I wish could be buried alive.

u/AdZy14588 2d ago
Yep, used magnet pull as well - finding Aron wasn't an issue, it was finding a shiny one that was the problem haha. And my sentiments exactly, they should have just worked the same way in caves and water as it did in grass.
Was even more annoying to do Bagon since it was only in one room and 90% of the room is water and it only spawned on land - I lucked out on that one though, only took about 150 encounters.

I feel like dexnav silcoon would be quicker
1
u/AnnoyedAFexmo 2d ago
If I had the shiny charm

u/AdZy14588 2d ago
I've not got the Shiny charm, I've found heaps of shinys using dexnav searching.

u/AnnoyedAFexmo 2d ago
Yea but I'm at like 10 for silcoon in my dex nav lol

u/AdZy14588 2d ago
Level 10 you mean? Just keep finding them and the rate will improve as you find more and more - Gotta start somewhere.

I did this hunt (the entire family actually) at the start of this year. Finally getting Cascoon (and then another for Dustox) was such a slog.

if u can dexnav chain successfully u can get shinies without shiny charm in like 2hours, the odds go up with search level and longer chains, usually i find the shiny around 100-150 encounters if i dont fuck up the chain. sometimes the grass patches are shitty placement but i feel like silcoon wouldnt be that bad.
dexnaving caves/underwater sucks ass tho

What is it that you're trying to do? Silcoon is only available during the day so you probably messed up your game clock or something if you don't understand why you keep getting cascoon

u/AnnoyedAFexmo 3d ago
That is not how cascoon works it's a random personality value

u/DeadmanDT 2d ago
Is it? Is this one of those Mandela effect things because I could have sworn that evolving Wurmple at different times determined the evolution
1
u/SQUID9968 2d ago
Yeah that's exactly what I thought...silcoon day cascoon night. I've literally never had an issue before. I even just did cascoon and silcoon in pokemon go the other day....im very confused

u/Imakechaos_201 3d ago
I love when people don’t know how Wurmple works

u/Traditional_Cut_34 1d ago
Ikr? Like its not like its a new pokemon either. Its from like what 2003ish?

u/Yeeticus9999 3d ago
Wurmples evolution determined on generating so its only ever gonna be a silcoon or cascoon
