Will I find shiny Celebi before I give up?


I will probably give up at some point tbh. Never hunted shinies before and this is tedious

I thought Celebi in Crystal was cut content. I remember the shrine and stuff when I had the game but I never could get the Pokmon

That's because it was an event Pokemon. IIRC you needed to go to one of the participating Nintendo stores/Pokemon Centre/some Poke convention and get a code or something in order to unlock it.

How many Pokmon could you actually catch that gen? All of them up to that point? I remember putting so many hours in that game. Could you theoretically keep transferring to newer devices?

Nope. You can transfer GBA pokemon all the way to Nintendo Switch pokemon games.
But the gameboy and gameboy color are stuck to their consoles.

I think they made it possible in the 3DS e-shop version.

I tried a Crystal Romhack that included all the 251 pokemon and celebi but the readme didnt say how to actually get all those, so it was useless. I hadnt played the game for 20 years, I cant remember every little secret place a romhacker might think to put a pokmon

Besides the 3DS version, there's an memory-editing exploit in Crystal. But the setup is annoying as hell. Involves grinding two Sneasels up to like, level 60 to guarantee a specific egg move in a specific move slot, and that's just the beginning lol.

No it's just virtual console port of the GBC game. They just added the Celebi event.

If you're already saying this then you're not going to get it. People who never hunted shinies before tend to think just a few hundred encounters is a lot and that they should find the shiny within a few days and neither of those are close to true. Plus you're hunting full odds at 1/8192 so you're likely looking at several thousand encounters at least and if you're unlucky it could easily go over 10,000. You should be prepared for it to take weeks if not a few months depending on how many encounters a day you average.

I wish shinies were cartridge dependent and not memory dependent. That would really kick the collecting into the next level. Imagine how much the only cartridge that has shiny HoOh would sell or whatever

The retro gaming market is enough of a scam without bringing shit like this into it.

Just use a hackmon.

Shiny hunting is a blatant waste of time when there is literally no difference between one you find after days of searching and one you generate.

I just got my shiny Arceus in Brilliant Diamond. I got it faster than my Darkrai, which I had been doing beforehand.

Hope you find it soon!
