I could not disagree more with the idea of this being cheating. Some of these legends are such complete nightmares to hunt. I'm not looking to get 4 lives one shot in one move by Xerneas for 10 runs to every 1 successful one. This is just an SR with extra steps.
To me any form of soft resetting for shinys is not cheating, even in this situation. The penalty is more to stop players from quitting on other players and making the run more difficult for the remaining players. Any form of resetting would be considered cheating by this logic. I enjoy the strategy of finding the best route and funny enough I never got a legendary shiny in this method but gotten others like this. Lol. The randomness makes the runs less stale but some Pokémon like Zygrade and Xerneas require specific Pokémon in the runs or it’s almost a guaranteed fail, wasting your time by 10/20 minutes, depending on if u play solo, no animations, or online waiting for turns, etc. Your still beating the odds and getting a shiny fairly, just more precisely and less time wasted on dead paths
That’s probably one of the only ways to almost guarantee yourself to get shiny special ball legends so I don’t know where cheating came from it’s just resetting the game. Did you think that putting a coin under a d pad back in the day for breeding was cheating?
Except you aren't supposed to adapt to the AI, it's the other way around. This isn't even cheating, what's cheating is the very real intentional AI sabatoge.
I think this is probably the most useful if you're hunting something like that Trevenant that you want shiny but would have to trade to evolve. I don't know anyone irl with a switch and I'm definitely not trading shinies with randos. Edit: Because unlike the legendaries, you can't ensure you'll be fighting a Trevenant every time otherwise.
another use for this is if you want to catch it in a rare pokeball like a dream ball shiny kyogre and but you dont have enough of that rare ball to just keep doing max lairs
There's a trend of using a really interesting, funny, engaging or information clip to open the video to draw in people's attention. I think it's refreshing that you're steering clear of that trend
The only reason I'm fine with "cheating" here is because these raids are broken and can be such bs when going solo. The four overall lives for the entire team just isn't fair esp when things are heavily dependent on AI/luck and considering the NPCs make really dumb decisons instead of just attacking. If these were more skill based like tera raids (also where NPC deaths don't affect the timer when going solo), I wouldn't have a problem doing these the correct way. But DA's are so heavily imbalanced, there are paths a lot of times where it's pretty much impossible to win no matter how skilled you are, especially with the more difficult ones like Zygarde. That's not a sign of balanced and fair mechanics. Ofc, it was probably on purpose to force people to buy Nintendo Online, but what happens years from now when not many people are playing? So it's a fair workaround. This isn't"cheating" at all.
i see no fun in hunting for shinies. its pain in the butt. but the shiny latias looks cute, so i will reset this game as much as i have to to get her shiny
I found a shiny Giratina finally and caught it. But i wanted to start over to catch it in another poke ball, worst mistake ever lol. It wasn't shiny anymore despite having done the raid the same exact path.
If you dont play the game the way gamefreak intended you to play its cheating at this point and im done with people who put these stupid rules in video games so they can feel proud about their game play rather kick it with hackers nows tbh
I did this method for some of the harder legendries that tend to wipe your entire team in one hit. to ad the lady will take dynitore from you the more you reset
If you are someone trying to solo this to hunt for shinies years after generation 8 came out like myself, then this is definitely the meta
Does this still work

"It's boring." Zygarde says hi!

Joycon drift > coin under d pad
This isn’t cheating at all. Cheating is like hacking or spoofing or duplicating

This is a pretty solid point!
You have no idea how much this helped me out with my hunt for shiny Zygarde, once you have a good path with good AI this is a mus
I'm glad to hear it!
@@LetsNotSo I was wondering.. what do I do when I run out of Dynite Ore? Do I actually have to get a new path?
@@Ace_064yes u do but don’t let it get to that point u could always do some random DAs with different legendaries to stack your ore

Pretty funny how in the same video you say you shouldn't do this bc the content is fun but then also talk about how the AI is mind numbing
Wide Guard is basically required for Landorus bc it has Rock Slide, Bulldoze, and Earthquake ;-;
Haha ya either Wide Guard or go in with a full team of ice and one shot him haha
@@LetsNot oh yea I forgot that they're 4x weak to ice, thanks :)
i see no fun in hunting for shinies. its pain in the butt. but the shiny latias looks cute, so i will reset this game as much as i have to to get her shiny
Omg thank you! I just managed to get the shiny Yveltal I had been hunting for daaaaays 😭
Pls stop with the green is yellow and the yellow is green
No promises
Sad
Great video bro I got a question. Is it possible to be banned by using this method. Cause I’m doing it solo for solgaleo cause he hard af😭
No. They won't ban you for this one. 99.99% sure
I don't concerned this cheating! It's the same thing as soft resetting a legandery whole standing in front of it.
I found a shiny Giratina finally and caught it. But i wanted to start over to catch it in another poke ball, worst mistake ever lol. It wasn't shiny anymore despite having done the raid the same exact path.
It’s not much different than regular soft resetting. Wish I could soft reset high school.
Me and my pals have been trying to find the shiny zygarde, this method could work if we do the battles online?
If I reset on them, will there be a chance that they can become shiny if they weren't before?
I’m just trying to make sure the shiny odds actually get rerolled since I’m doing this for Alolan Raichu.
yo does it still works cuz i cant find my suicune since dlc dropped with charm…
If you dont play the game the way gamefreak intended you to play its cheating at this point and im done with people who put these stupid rules in video games so they can feel proud about their game play rather kick it with hackers nows tbh
Wait, so I’m a little slow. You do the path reset until you find a shiny ? Or?
Yes!
Not even remotely cheating, guy.
Oh no I loaded my last save file.(😠👉"CHEATER")
This could’ve been a 30 second video
Man that would have been a ton of editing!
I love cheating it’s my favorite I do it so much
Oh for sure
You monster!
should've named that Swoobat 'green'.
Rofl
Man says cheating. Bruh the shitty ai is cheating us of our sanity.
I did this method for some of the harder legendries that tend to wipe your entire team in one hit.
to ad the lady will take dynitore from you the more you reset
Auto save on or off that you did ?
I'm almost certain it was off
Advice: Doing this you loss dynite ores.
A solid tip. You lose a ton this way
Oh nope i'm farming for ability patches
@@LetsNotthat feels like a really important thing to include in the video.
@@Umwho.it’s actually worse than that. It doesn’t just lose you the ore you would have gotten, it actually starts charging you to go back in.
I didn't know this method existed lol
Haha ya I feel like it's not super well known
So lets path reseting is like flase closing in battle cats but on a console the man who discover that cheat is smart
O_O
Beep boop bap skee doop bop
