[LIVE] Shiny Pikachu after only 733 REs in Pearl [Repel Trick]

There's a mouse about the house. A shiny one!

This game has been spitting out shinies this month. Shiny Pikachu after a swift 733 encounters in Pearl's Trophy Garden. Well as I said in my video, it wasn't a target but it's something I don't have so no complaints from me. It has such a cute sprite in this game so I'm pretty happy with this especially considering it was fast! Hopefully Meowth is next.

Here's how the Trophy Garden works;

1) The game will generate a Pokémon to appear in the 5% level 18 slot at midnight.

2) The game will push the previous level 18 slot to a 5% level 16 encounter slot meaning you have two daily Pokémon at any given time, at 5% encounter rate each & level 18/16.

3) A level 18 repel trick can be done at 50% Pikachu + 50% your target which you can choose here; https://www.serebii.net/pokearth/sinn...

4) White Flute + Illuminate is recommended as the encounter rate is slow.

5) You can keep your Trophy Garden target in the area by playing your game on another system without saving. The DS swap trick. This prevents time from passing (make sure to save after you get your shiny!)

The Trophy Garden is a very good reason to hunt in Diamond and Pearl over Platinum. Sadly Platinum's encounter slots change their levels so these repel tricks aren't viable. The Trophy Garden is home to some very unique Pokémon that are not common to find in the wild in 1/8192 games like Igglybuff & Cleffa. If you decide to hunt here, I'd like to see some of your shinies, even via radar on Twitter!

Happy hunting and thanks for watching;
