Ever used an all-shiny team?

    No way. I can't even seem to find a single shiny in the majority of my playthroughs.

    • Any pronoun
    • Online now
    Nope. Never had more than one shiny on a playthrough team.

    If given any team:
    • Alolan Raichu. Really likes this shiny. Generally likes darker colors. Prevents the team from being all black shinies. Appreciates its debuffing capabilities too. (Probably serves as a sweeper, however, looking at the rest of the team.)
    • Oricorio (Baile). Already looks good. Improves it even further when shiny. Prefers it over Charizard and Camerupt (slightly), who share some types. Assists in debuffing and maybe as a Baton Passer.
    • Palossand. Wanted to use this thing anyways. (Considered it for a solo challenge.) See aforementioned black shiny bias.
    • Umbreon. Already black, but now with blue.
    • Drednaw. A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. One of the few good green shinies.
    • Falinks. A similar color scheme as Alolan Raichu. Also already likes it. (Thought about a Furfrou for this spot. Probably Dandy or Matron. Mentions Chesnaught too.)

    Sees no more than two weaknesses to any type. Mixed in a good number of physical and special. Ought to function well enough. Has only used Alolan Raichu in a playthrough, of all the ones above, and not too much, due to the nature of that playthrough. Did not pick too many Pokemon of the same color.

  • Never found enough shinies to have a full shiny team tbh. 😅
    Same. I have found exactly four. Three of them are in a romhack with raised shiny odds that can't be traded to unmodded games, and the fourth was in a cartridge that had its save file overwritten without trading because I didn't have a second gameboy and link cable.

  • I did a Shiny Badge Quest in Ultra Moon. It's a challenge about using only shinies. I even found my old thread about it, if anyone is interested. It took me over 2 years to beat it. I aquired more than 6 Pokémon, even continuing on in post-game and tackling Battle Tree with my shinies. My obtained Pokémon were: Primarina, Lopunny, Vikavolt, Lycanroc, Toxapex, Palossand, Salazzle, Alolan Sandslash, Haxorus, Oricorio, Alolan Exeggutor, Alolan Persian, Pheromosa; and Type: Null and Stakataka in the post-game.

  • I find most of my shiny Pokémon during the post-game, so I've never used a playthrough team of all six shiny Pokémon. I may have found/received one shiny during the story mode, but never six!

    If the Pokémon Violet DLC counts as a fresh playthrough, I rotated in six new shiny Pokémon to complete the DLC campaigns. It was a struggle, especially against the Blueberry Elite Four.
    Teal Mask team: Arbok, Lucario, Chandelure, Shiftry, Lycanroc, and Mamoswine.
    Indigo Mask team: Sawsbuck, Scrafty, Kingdra, Golurk, Primarina, and Eelektross.

  • No unless I were to gen them in because tbh I am not wasting my days shiny hunting lmao, much better things to be doing than 3000+ encounters for the sake of a shiny pokemon!

  • I've only done this once in Sword, so far. I bred up a team Shield and then used them in Sword. Meet the squad:
    Spoiler:


    Couldn't get a better screenshot with all of them on screen :sadwick:

  • Only post-game. I don't think I've ever had more than two at a time during a run.

    I'd either leave it up to chance or hunt for some of the Shinies I've yet to get at full-odds that I'm still interested in, like Hoppip, Girafarig, and Lanturn. Maybe I'd SR for a Shiny Chikorita. Last two slots might go to Magby and Gligar/Yanma/Dragonair. I don't see myself doing a Shiny run anytime soon though!

    If it weren't for them not obeying me, I'd just send over my main squad: Flareon, Mothim, Wartortle, Dunsparce, Alolan Sandslash, and Luxio/Porygon2.

  • I've never had enough shiny Pokémon to make an entire team of Shiny Pokémon. However, in Pokémon Violet, I do have a full box of Shiny Pokémon, so it might be possible to build a Shiny team now, but I doubt it would be good. Perhaps I can share of footage of how they do in battle in the future.
