Telman Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 This is a question that is primarily directed towards shiny hunters. My favorite pokemon atm is smeargle, and I really love his/her shiny version. Considering this, how long will it approx. take? For instance, the chances of finding a normal smeargle is a bit higher than finding a Kanto squirtle. Since that's the case, based on the experience of most shiny hunters here, how long will it take? I can grind around 5+ hours daily, if that is signifcant for the question to be answered. I'll appreciate any answer I can get. Update on hunting the shiny smeargle: 12 hours so far: 2880 RE. 1 shiny natu found.

Monstercreaek Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Chances of finding a shiny is 1/8192 ( 1 out of 8192) i never farmed a smeargle before, so idk how hard it is to find one ~ here are some spawns that you can use~ Safari Johto grass and swamp = rare Ruins of Alph = rare Link to comment https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/68092-question-about-shiny-hunting/#findComment-407745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstercreaek Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 oh, usually its not about how long it takes, its about how lucky you are.

Frux Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The thing that you should worry about is, if do you have the patience to withstand the struggle. A patience wherein you dont anymore expect for it(shiny) to pop and be a lifeless robot that wont stop clicking "right and left" or "up and down", and "run" button till a shiny smeargle appears. This all are based on my experience. Our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in us. -Romans 8:18 Link to comment https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/68092-question-about-shiny-hunting/#findComment-407751 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all are based on my experience. Ah ok. I don't think patience is really an issue for me. I've already farmed for around 7 hours and 30 minutes, and I'm completely fine. Obviously, no shiny so far, but no struggle yet either. I'll also be keeping an update tab for anyone wondering how long it'll take me to get the shiny smeargle.
