Shiny Hunt - Hyperspace Legendary (Beta Testing, Not Released Yet)¶

Program Description¶

Automate various legendary Pokémon shiny hunting in their Hyperspace Wild Zones. It uses various shuttle run, teleportation, or game reset methods to hunt each legendary Pokémon accordingly. It resets the game if it runs out of calories. It stops when a shiny sound is detected, assuming it's from the legendary Pokémon.

Shiny huntable legendary Pokémon are Latias, Latios, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion. Their wild zones can only found via special scans. Each special scan has the chance to spawn one of these five non-shiny-locked legendaries if it hasn't already been caught. Each legendary has its own unique setup required before starting the program.

Shiny odds for the legendaries are affected by the Shiny Charm and Sparkling Power donuts but the size and IVs are fixed.

Before You Start¶

Know to use the backup save: the game places a backup save every time the player fast travels in Lumiose City (note: not in Hyperspace Lumiose). When loading the backup save, it places the player to the last Pokécenter where they talked to the nurse. If anything goes bad or you run out of time in a hyperspace, you can use the backup save to redo the hunt.
The program resets the game when it runs out of calories. The calories you spent before saving the game in hyperspace are the calories the program cannot use to shiny hunt. Every fast travel in Hyperspace creates a save (but not a backup save). Be careful not to do unnecessary fast travels. If that happens, use the backup save to fix it.
Be sure to use a 5-star Sparkling Power lv. 3 donut to give you good catch rate and high shiny rate. Use a donut with enough calories to be efficient in shiny hunting.
Come prepared. Have a good team of Pokémon that can catch the legendary quickly. Have enough Pokéballs you want to catch it with.

Instructions¶

Based on the legendary you want to hunt, move to the location shown on the maps below. Written instructions are also provided if needed.

Movement for each legendary:

Eon Duo¶

Pokémon	Image
Latias Shuttle Run - From the entrance, make a hard right and follow the street - The building on the left side of the street has a tunnel into a courtyard, enter the courtyard - Immediately after the tunnel, turn right and climb the ladder to the top and climb onto the roof - Go left, and climb onto the roof with the Noibat/Noivern - Once you're on that roof, climb onto the higher roof on your right - Go to up to the ladder that leads up to Latias, don't climb it - Stand in front of the ladder with the "A" button prompt visible Note: You may need to defeat or de-aggro Noibat/Noivern to save
Latias Game Reset - From the entrance, make a hard right and follow the street - The building on the left side of the street has a tunnel into a courtyard, enter the courtyard - Immediately after the tunnel, turn right and climb the ladder to the top and climb onto the roof - Go left, and climb onto the roof with the Noibat/Noivern - Once you're on that roof, climb onto the higher roof on your right - Turn away from the ladder and hop onto the roof with Munna on it. - Turning around, you should be able to see Latias in the distance. - IMPORTANT: You must now despawn Latias by running to the right and returning to the spot shown in the screenshot below. You will never get a shiny if this step is skipped. - Return to the location shown in the image while staying far enough away from Latias' location to avoid it spawning. Ensure your character (not just your camera) is pointed directly at the spawn platform, then save the game and go to the map. Note: Make sure you have enough Calories left to catch it. The program will execute a forward roll, which should force Latias to spawn. It will then visually check for the presence of Latias or shiny Latias. If a shiny is observed or a non-shiny is not observed, the program will go to the home screen. Ensure your configuration is correct if it doesn't reset the game as expected.
Latios - From the entrance, make a hard right and follow the street - The building on the left side of the street has a tunnel into a courtyard, enter the courtyard - Immediately after the tunnel, turn right and climb the ladder to the top and climb onto the roof - Go left, and climb onto the roof with the Hawlucha - Go towards the left, past the Hawlucha - Drop onto the roof with the chimneys and use the Holovator pad on the far end to get across the canal - Go towards and climb onto the roof that is higher - Cross the bridge that is ahead, clearing the vines in the way - Climb the ladder to the right - Walk across the web - After crossing the web, drop off the roof onto the terrace that's straight ahead - Stand on the Holovator pad that leads to the roof top where Latios resides, with the "A" button prompt visible Note: Make sure you have enough Calories left to catch it.

Swords of Justice¶

Pokémon	Image
Cobalion - From the entrance, run forwards and right and drop into the alley - Go down the stairs - At the bottom of the stairs, turn left towards the bridge, and take the ramps down to the canal level - Move onto the ice - Go under the bridge while on the ice - Make sure your character is beneath the very center of the bridge and that your camera is directly facing the wall
Terrakion - Go left from the entrance - Go halfway down the stairs - Turn right onto the grass - Take the Holovator pad up to the roof - Turn towards the right and go to the Holovator pad that points towards the scaffolding near the entrance - Make sure the "A" button prompt is visible
Virizion - From the entrance, run forward and right and drop into the alley - Climb the ladder on the far right side - Climb onto the roof, and move to the plank on the right - Cross the plank and climb onto the roof - Use the Rotom Glide to jump onto the building toward the right, the one with a warp pad - Move to the ladder at the end, face the ladder with the "A" button prompt visible

Options¶

Note: Most settings do not apply to the Latias Game Reset program.

Shiny Sound Detected Action¶

When a shiny sound is heard, perform one of the following actions:

Stop program and go Home. Send notification. (default)
Keep running. Notify on first shiny sound only.
Keep running. Notify on all shiny sounds.

The only option you should use is "Stop program and go Home." The other options are incompatible with soft-resets and exists only because this entire option block is shared with the other shiny hunting programs.

Take a Video¶

Record a video of the encounter.

Screenshot Delay¶

When a shiny is detected, wait this long before you take a screenshot and record a video. This will allow the screen to completely load before taking the screenshot.

Legendary Pokémon¶

Which Legendary you are hunting.

Minimum Cal. Reserved to Catch Legendary (Does not apply to Latios)¶

Minimum amount of calories you need to catch the legendary after the program find it shiny. It burns 10 calories per second in those 5-star legendary Hyperspace Wild Zones.

The program will likely aggro the legendary, prepare enough time to fight it. Kill any other Pokémon following you first. Once you defeat the legendary, save in front of it and use the Post-Kill Catcher program to catch it. If you prefer to save before battling it, start with a higher calorie limit to have more time to leave the area and drop aggro, save, and return to battle it.
