#CAPTURE RATE OF MAGIKARP WITH ULTRABALL FULL#
We've got a full page all about catch combos and how they work. The good thing about this is that catch combos actually serve a purpose. For instance, if you catch 10 lovely Magikarps in a row, you’ll have a 10 Magikarp combo. Building Catch combos to boost shiny encounter ratesĬatch combos are a new feature in Pokemon Let’s Go that reward you for monotonously catching the same Pokemon over and over again. When you’re flying, you can actually do some interesting things in relation to what I’m about to get to next. The whole body of water is a spawn area, unlike patches of grass that are located beside paths. Unless you find a nice, narrow cove (I’m going to suggest one in a minute, hang on) then you’re better off actually moving with your lure on. The exceptions to this are surfing and flying. As well as being an effective shiny hunting method, this will teach you patience. If you’re in a confined area like a cave, only move to dodge Pokemon that are annoying you. What if they’re your shiny?ĭrop a Lure and be patient. Also, lots of Pokemon will spawn behind you after your trailblazing trajectory has already left them for dust. While you’ll encounter more Pokemon in a shorter period of time, you’ll burn through Lures like someone addicted to grapes burns through pants. Think of Pokemon Go: your drop a Lure at a PokeStop and wait for the Pokemon to come to you, don’t you? Running around like a maniac just uses up the Lure. Lures are something that people use wrong all the time. I was only checking to see how much it was worth, alright? Just keep it in your bag and it will work on its own, increasing the odds of encountering a shiny from 1 in 4,096 to 1 in 1,365. He’ll give you a neat certificate and the Shiny Charm, which you never have to do anything with. The Director is wearing casual clothes because he’s a proper dude.Ĭhat to him and he’ll commend you for catching ‘em all. Head in and you’ll find a floor with the in-game Game Freak team. There’s a man with a buff Poliwrath standing outside the building you’re looking for. Using the Shiny Charm in Pokemon Let's GoĪfter you complete your Pokedex (which isn’t as hard as it sounds) you can visit the Game Director in Celadon City. Here are some of the best techniques for catching shinies in Pokemon Let’s Go: While shinies have always been available, Nintendo has finally decided to come out and say, “Here’s a thing for you shiny hunters.” However, the Shiny Charm isn’t the only thing you can use to better your chances of encountering shinies. The Shiny Charm that the Game Director in Celadon City gives you after you complete the Pokedex attests to this - it is designed to increase your chances of encountering a shiny Pokemon in the wild.

These creatures are rarer - and so far more coveted.Īnyway, Pokemon Let’s Go has completely reinvented shiny hunting because the game actually addresses it as a thing.

Green isn’t exactly shiny, but green Cubone is still shiny Cubone. Rather than taking on a metallic glint, these special Pokemon are color-swapped. Shiny Pokemon are just like their regular counterparts except they’re, well, shiny. You may have entire teams of Level 100, max IV monsters in Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, but are they shiny? If not, why not?
