It Worked!!! We Got a Shiny!!!

I let this run all night, and I woke up to a shiny notification in my Discord! I checked the game, and sure enough… it was there!

After a whopping 6,045 resets and over 3 full days of hunting, the wait is finally over. It was definitely a grind, but I absolutely love this shiny. The green looks so good!

What’s Next?

Now that the shiny hunt is complete, I made a version of the setup for the Nintendo Switch 1 as well!

I borrowed my mom’s Switch to increase my hunting output, so I also designed and printed a box for it. It’s currently hunting Giratina in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond.

Improving Compatibility

One thing I discovered is that the Switch 1 and Switch 2 run at different processing speeds. Because of that, the timing in my current code isn’t perfectly universal.

I’m going to be working on a better solution that automatically handles these differences, so the code:

Works on both Switch 1 and Switch 2
Doesn’t require manual timing adjustments
Is more reliable for everyone using it

Stay Tuned!

I have a lot of cool ideas planned for future updates, so this is only the beginning.

Thanks for following along, and stay tuned for more!
