so i decided to soft reset for a shiny sudowoodo. around 2 hours later, one appeared! and was promptly felled by a critical hit......FML!!! reset for like another four hours with no luck. but i will perservere im sure ill get another chance ill do it 5000 times if i have to

How about you get a pokemon with False Swipe... if you want I can clone you my Level 100 Smeargle

Smeargle @ Leftovers
Jolly - Technician
128 Def, 128 SpD, 128 HP, 128 Spe

~ Spore
~ Spider Web
~ False Swipe
~ Substitute

Spore is the 100% accurate sleep move, Sipder Web is the same as Mean Look except bug type, False Swipe will wear them down to 1 HP with technician boosting its weak power, and Sub is in case you are doing this against a strong legendary and they decide to wake up and wreck you a bit. PM me if you want to work something out.

Oh and BTW, RNG Abuse is 100 times faster than soft resetting for a shiny... you should look into it.

how do i PM you? im new to this but i will appreciate any help i can get i need to figure out this RNG thing for sure i read about it once but there was a lot to read

sucks for you,
thats too bad
