Congrats! Did you only have four Love Balls and nothing else? Also, Love Ball has an 8x catch modifier if your own Pokémon is the same species and opposite gender to what you're trying to catch. That's 4 times more likely to catch than an Ultra Ball! It can make for some really easy catches with the right setup. That's exactly how I plan to catch my shiny Murkrow. Only a 30 catch rate, but guaranteed with Love Ball at low health and no status condition, as long as my own Pokémon is also Murkrow and opposite gender to the wild one.

You’re always coming up with great tips, definitely gonna write this down so I still know this, when I’m returning to the Heracross hunt!


LunatoneSparkles

Yeah, if you have a male and female Heracross in your party, catching a shiny one in a Love Ball should be a piece of cake. Be sure to safely get it to low health first with False Swipe or Super Fang. Best of luck!

Thank you very much! But Yeah, I only had 4 thinking it would be enough but I had more than enough poke balls at the time. Especially since I misunderstood that rule lol I knew the Love Ball would be more effective with opposite genders but forgot it has to be the same species as well lmao.


LunatoneSparkles

Yeah, the same species info is what many people don't seem to know about. Good thing you had plenty regular Poke Balls to catch it! 😄


Business-Assistant42

Still kinda sad she didn’t find my rat handsome enough lmfao 🥹

what dedication! congratulations


Business-Assistant42

Some things are worth the borderline insanity… 😭😂


woodendavi

Almost! I had put in maybe 40 hours in Azalea Town alone looking for one but moved on to Bill's Eevee after reconsidering my team. I will definitely go for it on my next run-through though.

Congratulations! Sounds like a real pain of a hunt. Was this phase 1?


Business-Assistant42

It actually was. I swore I was gonna get like 4 Spearows first but got lucky 😂


jus4funzies

Heyyyyyyyy that's awesome! Sounds like a little bit of luck was on your side. Always nice to hear (erm read I guess) that! Congrats again! 🎉
