Hey guys
Dunno if this is the right place to post this but I wondered if anyone had a list of shinies you can soft reset for, I know of a few already but am pretty into shiny hunting at the moment (got a shiny baashaun, selkid, nupin, eletux and kinetmunk). Here's the ones I could list off the dome
Ratsy - Venessi City
Gargryph - Venessi City
Eletux - Starter
Orchynx - Starter
Raptorch - Starter
Urayne - Legendary
Actan - Legendary
Lanthan - Legendary
S51??

Every Pokemon available are able to be shiny hunted. Unlike the real games, there are no shiny-locks. I'm not sure if the eggs the professor gives you are able to be shiny hunted, though

This user is asking about soft-resetting in front of a static encounter.
S51 can be reset for. Remember that S51A can't be caught though.
You can shiny reset for Mystery Gifts when they're available (Probably soon!!)
Those Linkites in Pokeballs in Maskara Island Labyrinth.
Casino Pokemon
Gift Pokemon/NPC trades
Garlikid - need empty slot in party
Urayne - need to use an Autosave trick
Sprited Pokemon in the power plant, Nuke Gyarados, etc, or nuclear hordes. Hazma.
Apparently gift Pokemon aren't affected by the shiny charm, though.

So, you can't save before Urayne's long cutscene. But you can make Autosave save there if you're precise.
Turn Autosave on, set for 5 minutes. Then wait 5 minutes during the cutscene, and it will autosave right before Urayne joins you. Then you can soft reset without needing to redo the scene.

Apparently gift Pokemon aren't affected by the shiny charm, though. No way... you need an empty slot for Garlikid to show off his shiny colors.. I was soft resetting based on the nickname screen colors. If that's true.. man I have been wasting some time.

Hey, we all make mistake, so don't feel too awful about that mate. Now that you have that knowledge and more, you can shiny hunt all the Legendary Pokemon more efficiently now, so rejoice!!

I have been around for..... I want to say two plus years... I don't know time flies... but this thread is the first time I have heard of the auto-save feature. Was that added recently or awhile ago?

The autosave feature has been a thing since version 1.2.0 (a little over a year ago), but it has to be manually turned on and given a duration. It triggers on a "map change" (i.e. entering/leaving a building, going between routes, etc.), which is how it can be used for Urayne...
.... The game considers the shift in the cutscene from Urayne's flashback in Epsilon to present-day Championship arena as a map change, which triggers the autosave to save when it transitions there (if you wait long enough that is).
As for Garlikid...
Yes, you can check the nickname screen when he officially joins your party after the Larkspur battle. However, the faster/more efficient way is to have a slot open in your party so that he joins before the Larkspur battle. Save in front of the table just before reclaiming your bag/items, and he'll join once you do. You're not doing anything "wrong" per se, but using this method, you can SR here a lot faster since you won't have to fight Larkspur and listen to Garlikid's monologue each time.

No way, that's amazing! Thanks for the tips Bailey! Man that blows my mind saves me a loooot of time. Does it offer a nickname screen or if I press the menu button will its sprite change to a shiny one when shiny?
