Most days I do double or even triple the goal, but I give myself that wiggle room in case I'm not super feeling it that day or just don't have a lot of free time. I'm nearly halfway to odds now, so if I continue like this, I should be at odds around mid-November!

I've been keeping track of how many resets I do for Jirachi each day. I have a personal goal of doing at least 40 per day, which is what I had calculated I'd need to do to get to odds by Bank shutdown day. Proud to say I kept the pace for the entire month of September!
My personal log of how many Jirachi resets I did every day in September. I went from 290 total resets at the beginning of the month and ended with 3346.

It's crazy how big nuzlockes are now, remembering that it came from an extremely rough 4chan comic where the protagonist had a nuzleaf who looked like locke from lost, hence nuzlocke

I suppose that's the shame about falling in love with a live service game, there's always the potential for it to change and become worse. At least every other game up here is in its completed state and nothing can change that.

I don't really love the current state of Overwatch unfortunately - tried to pick it back up recently but its character roster is just WAY too fucking bloated after 10 years of constant updates, and the monetization has gotten way more scummy since going F2P. But 2016-18 Overwatch was magical.

Shiny Poipole after just 594 SRs, for #wormholewednesday!! The first one I need for my living dex - I'll be hunting another one that will be evolved into Naganadel. Nicknamed UB STICKY because that's the Japanese code name for it and I love it.

Okay but how far up your own ass do you have to be to think you're providing people with a *service* or even benefiting the world in *any* way by denying people the ability to buy something at MSRP and forcing them to pay your inflated price?

Years ago I got a used copy of Omega Ruby from my wife's cousin. He had hacked to give himself Hoopa and Eternal Flower Floette, and they can't be transferred to Home because they fail legality checks. So they've been sitting in a "Hacker jail" Bank box, and I intend to let them burn down with Bank.

I hadn't really considered this up until now, but I think I might actually feel more inclined to do some lock removal hunts once Bank shuts down. I hadn't done one before because I cared about Home legitimacy, but if nothing can be transferred up anyway, then fuck it, why not

I'm not generally a fan of Alola's shiny sparkles because I don't like how the giant star obscures the Pokemon's face, but if you can manage to get a screenshot right as the star is fading out, it can make for some pretty photos.

Interesting! So even if you sent it to Ruby or Sapphire, there's a 50% chance that the Jirachi internally has the incorrect game of origin? I guess they figured it really didn't matter, it's not like there's a way to check the exact game a Pokemon came from in-game.

I transferred the LeafGreen one up since I figured that would be the more problematic of the two, and I managed to get it into Home without it being flagged. But strangely, it states it's from the Hoenn region despite having never touched a Hoenn game:

Just for Channel unfortunately. Channel and the Colo bonus disc check for different flags - Channel looks for having beaten the Elite Four in R/S, whereas Colo looks for having obtained the Pokedex.

So idk if the flute effects carry over after a reset, but I can confirm that playing the flute and saving does keep the flag necessary for Jirachi set on your save file: bsky.app/profile/shin...

Some people were curious how this worked, so I tested it by trading a Black Flute to my LeafGreen - and I can confirm that a hard reset (playing the flute, saving, and then shutting the system off completely) does work!

Nope! Everything I used here was NTSC, aside from the PAL Pokemon Channel ROM (loaded on a modded NTSC Wii to remove the region lock).

ShinyAmiibo (SHINY LIVING DEX: 509/1001) @shinyamiibo.standingintheodds.com · 11/09/2026
Apparently this also works in FRLG, but in those games, the flag is instead used when you have the effect of a Black Flute active. So it's a little trickier since you can't natively get a Black Flute in FRLG, you have to trade one in from a Hoenn game.

So it was recently discovered that you CAN redeem Channel Jirachi in Emerald - if you've specifically beaten Roxanne at least 4 times. For whatever reason, Emerald's internal flag for having done that is the same flag that R/S uses for entering the Hall of Fame. Sounds weird, but yeah, it works!

Now that I can move on to other USUM hunts, I think the play is to hunt Type: Null and Jirachi Thursday-Tuesday and lock in for Poipole on Wednesdays so it counts for Wormhole Wednesday

This ended up being my second-longest hunt ever, but considering my longest was 22k in an 8192 game, statistically, this is my unluckiest hunt ever. It was a big stressor when I now have a time crunch and other hunts I have to do during that time crunch. So it's a huge relief to have found this.
