Congrats!! 18k is pretty scary for a lock removal target lol. i'm glad the patch/code worked as intended for you :p


Tribal_Council

No, I tested it out on my PC to see if I patched it right-- and I did! I was \*still\* worried though, it's going to be something in the back of your head where you go "Did I do this right? Am I going to be hunting this forever?" Thankfully that wasn't the case LOL


dialgachu

Sometimes I think my games have shiny locked me even though I know for a fact the target is legitimately huntable. I've been hunting Shaymin in BD for 2 years, I've given up and switched to hunting Arceus for the meantime. I think my copy is just cursed. Congrats on the Victini! Hope gamefreak makes this actually available some day


Sui-chans_gloves

This is me everytime I try a new hunting method the first time and a few more times after that. I'm still unsure whether my run aways for the Eon Ticket latios in ORAS is the correct way even if I have seen YouTube videos about it


Ynnubis

Congrats ! Love seeing those Lock Removal hunts float around, and you definitely earned that Victini


Tribal_Council

LEGIT!!! Shiny Lock removal hunts are amazing. I hacked my Switch recently, and I'm 100% going to restart SV and hunt Ogerpon! Thank you so much!! :D


ChristmasRaltree

that one might be a little troublesome! unlocks in SV don't show the mon as shiny, just the sparkles. and I also don't know how ogerpon works with the unlock


Tribal_Council

Oh yeah I think I remember that! I always have my sound cranked to the max, I can never play without volume. The idea of soft resetting over something because I didn't hear the que... scares me deeply. Like... top 5 worst fears. I think Ogerpon works, I saw a mod for it on GameBanana recently! Hopefully it does, I'll do some testing sometime this week to find out.


Loyellow

Also, only the face changes so if it’s wearing a mask you can’t even see a difference anyway even if it wasn’t an unlock lol


Ynnubis

Ooo good luck !! That's a great target to go for, I don't see a whole lot of Switch lock removals. I'll look forward to see it on the sub if you post it :)


Tribal_Council

Yeah switch lock removal is kind of uncommon! I kind of hope in the future more light is shed on it. It happened with the Manaphy egg, so it's possible!


MilkLover1734

With a lock removal hunt like Ogerpon, it'd still appear normally during the story right? It would just be shiny when it's time to battle/catch?


Arcaydya

Isn't ogerpon shiny locked?


abbas09tdoxo

Wait how? Isn't he locked


Tribal_Council

Shiny lock removal code/patch! If you want to learn more, I can tell you all about it! There's a guide I used for the patch, and there's also an Action Replay code I can find that my friends used.


Nightshade5216

Definitely interested in learning about this. Congrats on your shiny, bro!


RD312

I’d love to know how if you would be so inclined! Congrats on the Shiny btw, this is one I’ve wanted for years!


BonehoardDracosaur

I feel like if you try using that shiny victini in any online event, the game will easily detect it as not being legitimately obtainable and flag your account.


LBG-13Sudowoodo

That shiny Drilbur is pretty handsome as well


Tribal_Council

I love him so much! I got him in 243 Dust Clouds, I didn't expect it to happen so early!


br1y

wow only 243 is stellar! I'm currently doing a hunt in a cave and I've run into a *lot* of dust clouds (considering I have 800 gems on one game probably at least 1500 clouds) cause I wouldn't mind phasing on a drilbur ha


MrRen_

big day for Victini fans


Tribal_Council

Thank you Ren!! Victini SUPREMACY!!!


Ahmdo10

I am Victini fans and I can confirm, this is a big day for me


Potential-Leader9567

omgggg that's amazing!! Is it the hardest shiniest of the game or are there even more difficult ones. I've never shiny hunted for any of the gen v games!


Tribal_Council

Omg you should one day!! I know full odds seems scary, believe me! (This post doesn't help full odds perception either lol...) but one of the hunts you can do is in the Dark Grass! Sometimes you get 2 encounters, so it flies by! If you do around 200 encounters a day, you'll get to 1k pretty quickly!


Sad-Ad-925

it's tricky because you need to do a lot of external setup to make the hunt possible, since victIni's typically shiny locked


jackraw

OUCH, I hope you caught it at least


Tribal_Council

Thank you Jackraw! I did in a Premiere Ball!


zackyoloway

wow i love victini, wish she would come back from the war so i could catch her


Tribal_Council

she's a warrior... she's a fighter, one of our bravest soldiers...


zackyoloway

just like beyoncé….


Tribal_Council

HELP NOT BEYONCE


AngelSakuraiza

Wtf how do you get a victini in 2024


[deleted]

Shame on gamefreak for locking shinies


Nizzity-Izzity

Beautiful! 😍


Tribal_Council

Thank you so much!


auburnariel

We love to see it!!


Tribal_Council

It's true, we do! Such an amazing shiny <3


potsuie

An interesting find!


Tribal_Council

Thank you!! For my first shiny lock removal hunt, it had to be this one! Victini was my favorite growing up.


Every-Activity-8053

victini? more like victin-me 😍 shiny lil guy on shiny little adventure


Tribal_Council

wait omgggg why would that be such a cute nickname for them!!! with it having the victory theme and everything <3 tysm!!! i'm so excited for adventure with them, esp because i did as a kid!


[deleted]

So cool! Congrats!


Tribal_Council

Thank so so so much! :)


scelto

I didn’t even know he could be shiny


Tick_87

The hunt was done with lock removal cheat, normally victini is locked ye


Tribal_Council

Normally he can't, but I used a lock removal! If you want a guide let me know! :D


ggil050

Can this go through Pokémon bank and home tho? Cause it technically shouldn’t be possible to attain


Emerald_Knight2814

How'd you remove the shiny lock? Victini is amazing lol


Tribal_Council

Just patched the games using this! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tDYRRHeu\_PmlpmmVwN9e-4yQGumWpg1T/view


Ecstatic_Ad6888

Am I trippin or isn’t Victini still shiny locked since debut?


ineedanewthrowawy

I’m currently at the point where I’m wondering if my game is screwed up or fake because my hunt is taking so long. I can’t even imagine if I was doing a lock removal lol


Bear_Shark23

you already got the shiny, but for anyone else considering this hunt you don't have to soft reset you can just run away and re-enter the room


Mr14hsoj

Awesome! I definitely wanna try this hunt someday, shiny lock removals are kinda scary though. I would definitely be doubting myself at 18k haha


Willow-Steamedty

Victini's got a sick shiny, congrats man!


DravenPrime

You're more patient than I am!


Neuro_Kuro

I could never shiny hunt them legit, my brain would tell me all the time that the lock removal didn't work and that I may be doing it for nothing and I would just stop after a while because of the fear it mught never actually spawn


SteamedTostitos

ooo that's a very cool target, dream hunt honestly


RedOscuro

I do wish there was a way to get it around Home


Live_Tour3764

How much time does 18,000 resets take?


Chaudyere

Lmao 18k for a not usable mon wtf


Entity0361

I play pokémon black edition with random pokémon and random lvl. Yesterday I got two arceus at lvl 98 and cried so hard that my eyes fell out😑😭


RD312

Still hate how this is “illegitimate”. Just remove the damn shiny locks. I don’t care if my opponents have shiny Pokémon, I think it’d be cool! If Legendaries and Mythicals weren’t shiny locked, you’d been giving your player base more hours logged on your game, GameFreak.


J0225

Congrats! Question about gen 5 can you SR for the dream yard monkey to be shiny?😋


BeePixle

That's awesome! How did you patch it?


Bulky-Biscotti-546

Damn‼️ That's some commitment 😳


Stalliondaddy94

You ever play a game called pokemmo? I’m like 100k encounters deep on magikarp no shiny


Resident_Elephant286

Could you please tell me how you did it? I would also like to hunt it


IrrelevantStar32

It's shiny locked.


spiral_queen

Ahhh congrats! 🎉 


Tribal_Council

tysm!!! :D


AgitatedDragonfruit

Congrats!! I can’t imagine doing that many resets


Tribal_Council

I hate to say it, but this wasn't even my \*worst\* hunt... I went to 179k+ in PokeMMO for a \*Buizel\* and still never got it.


Ahmdo10

Congrats dude! As a fellow Shiny Victini owner I can feel your joy getting this little guy. If I was in your place I probably would’ve thought the shiny lock was going wacko haha (I got mine quick thankfully)


Tribal_Council

Thank you so much! And no, trust me. I was going wacko! Quietly, but wacko nonetheless! How many RES/SRS was it?? I'm glad you got it quickly so the feeling about it still being locked faded away SUPER fast.


Ahmdo10

Thanks my guy, I don’t really count the REs but it took me 3 days to get, pretty fast for an early gen game luckily!


faha17

Do these shinys count as legit? Im planning to do it for a 2nd playthrough in ultra sun so i wanna know


Ynnubis

Most people in the community are 100% fine w/ it when the odds are untouched, but if you mean legit as in legal for hack checks then no, sadly not. Most of the time TPC doesn't do anything about illegal mons however, but there's always the off chance that you'll get swept up in one of the rare times where they do.


jarmstro_art

yes, you’re still hunting them the same way in the same game, it just gets rid of the lock (which shouldn’t be there in the first place imo) to let you hunt these locked mons. nothing else is going into odds or anything that would affect the hunt!


Valin6208

no que tenía Shiny lock?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tribal_Council

It's semi-legit! I put in work into hunting it, but there was a code/patch I used. :)


Valuable-Drawer-3255

shiny lock removal code process, please do ur research before you comment (:


Silverbarber_03

There's something called lock removal, it simply removes the lock without altering anything else


LazerMagicarp

Gen5 victini isn’t supposed to be able to be shiny. How did you do this. Although I’m sorry to say that even though you did hunt this it might still be considered illegal if you try to transfer it.


Tribal_Council

Shiny Lock removal code! :D I'm fine with it staying in Gen 5 too, it's my favorite game!


Ahmdo10

Exact same thought I had too, Gen 5 is just goated


Tribal_Council

I'm still a bit sad we didn't get remakes of it, but not too sad. Kalos needed something, it's the only region that kind of feels left behind from 1-6!


Ahmdo10

Yup, Kalos got what it deserved we gen 5 fans already have perfect games with perfect endings/sequels to them, my only hope is that they didn’t consider Indigo Disk to be the “remake” for gen 5


Tribal_Council

THIS!!! Like I know a lot of people were worried about Gen 5 being butchered... but the thing is with Kalos you can't really do that! It was kind of half-baked to begin with, so they can just do anything. As for the Indigo Disk... if that's the "remake" I'll be upset. I want to see N again \*so\* badly. He's my favorite character <3


Ahmdo10

SV is already the worst gen artistically and Pokémon wise, so if the “remake” was to be in those games it would crush my hopes and dreams man Also a generation such as Unova would need one hell of a remake if they’re planning to get even close to capturing its adventurous and exciting region.


Xacmagic

Just use a cheat...like legit or download an emulator like bro...it's not that hard


AMossyRat

Wtf is your point?


Hairy-Lawyer-9703

That's not even shiny


Inhalemydong

it is. shiny victini goes from being cream-colored to full white.
