Are genders locked in when a shiny spawns in Z-A or can I reset the gender if I leave the area? Are sizes locked in too?

Guys, how should I best shiny hunt in area 18 in PLZA? I feel like just fly spamming to the area won't spawn the stuff up on the rooftops. There is a bench there, but it's so much slower.

Anon10/18/25, 21:08No.58446856
welp, 400 whirlipedes seen and no shiny...
if the other 3 venipedes around in the zone spawn with it, that would mean 4x400 = 1600 seen and no shiny...
I'll never get this motherfucker

pretty sure i just wasted manipulated alpha rng while hunting mawile. had just cleared a zone which triggers alpha spawning, was getting alpha mawiles every reset. flew out and back in, resetting the entire zone, and now the alpha mawiles are rarely spawning. maybe it was lolrng but it was odd.

do you actually just fast travel to the same spot to refresh spawns? been doing this with area 13 for phantump/trevenant but it seems like everything spawns in the exact same place so i don't know if they're actually refreshing or not

What’s the point in shiny hunting any more when you can just turn around and find one?
A
Anon10/18/25, 23:31No.58447949
Not hunting, just a random encounter. But geez, hearing the shiny jingle while standing on a random roof, and not spotting ANYTHING...I had to circle around buildings and climb onto nearby roofs for almost 20 minutes before I found a wee little shiny Budew. Modest nature - cool! (but male. Maybe I'll name it Tuxedo Mask)

Just to check but does flying to the cafe near the 2 ralts reset them for a shiny? Been doing it for about 5-6 hours and no ralts but got 4 weedles, a alpha kakuna and 2 pidgey.

I love shiny hunting in Z-A because when I run like a retard back and forth the spawn area the player automatically picks up random shit that I can sell later

Anon10/19/25, 03:38No.58449558
Am I doing something wrong? I've been fly resetting outside of Z2 for like four hours and have seen absolutely nothing. Does it usually take this long? I haven't done a hunt in this game yet.

Getting the shiny charm isn't worth it, this game is fucking ass. They want me to grind 700 more battles just to respawn 2 Scrafty's ad nauseum? And I can't access the sewers where Scraggy was during the story mission? They REALLY got angry about PLA.

I remember coming around these threads on SV release. People were helpful and the worst thing about it was the one autist always making the OP about themselves. Now you have all these whiny bitches and faggots responding to people being completely unhelpful. You already know it's because they're miserable playing on an emulator.

Shiny hunting in Scarlet has killed shiny hunting for me. I've been doing this since 2013. 20+ boxes for Finizen and fucking nothing. I used to be able to hatch like a box a night while watching a show or something after work. I can't even find the motivation to. ive never had a MM experience so fucking miserable. Fuck Scarlet and Violet and their lying shiny rates forever, and fuck Pokemon

Anon10/19/25, 14:47No.58452431
If I do the area 3 reset method, and then fast travel to another area, would that reset any potential shinies that I see? I'm getting conflicting information.
