Shiny Hunt Autonomous - Fishing

This program will shiny hunt fishing encounters. This program is new to the serial programs since it is infeasible without feedback.

  • No calibration is needed. This program will detect a shiny from its animation.
  • When a shiny is encountered, this program will save a video of the encounter.
  • This program will keep track of encounter statistics.

Demo Video: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/755635697737531544/823709108150075412/2021-03-22_19-04-14.mp4

Instructions:

  • Screen size must be 100%.
  • Video resolution is 1280 x 720 or higher. Shiny detection is not reliable at low resolutions.
  • You must have system time unsynced.
  • Casual mode is off.
  • Your text speed must be set to fast.
  • You must be standing in front of a fishing spot.
  • Your lead Pokémon must be able to run away. (faster or holding Smoke Ball)
  • Your lead Pokémon must not be shiny. (this will cause false positive detections)
  • You must be in the overworld. (not inside the menu)
  • Start the program in the Change Grip/Order Menu.

Recommended for Performance:

  • Have the Shiny Charm. This triples the chance to find a shiny.
  • Your lead Pokémon does not have high happiness.
  • Your lead Pokémon does not have an ability that activates upon entry to battle.
  • Zoom in. The bigger exclamation icon is easier for the inference to detect.

When a shiny is found, the program will save a video of the encounter.

Options:

This program uses TOLERATE_SYSTEM_UPDATE_MENU_FAST to bypass the system update window.

There is no option to search only for a square shiny. Nearly all shinies are square and only 15/65536 are star. Therefore it is infeasible to hunt for star shiny.

Go Home when Done:

After finding a shiny, go to the Switch Home to idle. Turn this off for unattended streaming so that your viewers can see the shiny.

Time Rollback:

Every this many hours, rollback the time by this many hours. This keeps the time constant to prevent the weather from changing. It also allows you to target time-specific marks. Set this to zero to disable this feature.

Advanced Settings:

These are advanced settings. You shouldn’t need to touch these unless something isn’t working and you’re trying to debug it yourself.

Exit Battle Timeout:

After running, wait this long to return to the overworld. The program will resume before this time if it detects that that the battle has ended.

Fish Respawn Time:

Wait this long for the fishing spot to respawn.
