-1. You need a LOT of watts, and to do that you need to use the raid den exploit.

This video explains it well, except he says you need nintendo online and you don't.

It can kind of suck to do this for watts. I got 2 million from going for each Gmax and I had fun doing it, so that's what I recommend. You're fine with just half a million for any singular fossilmon though.

-2. Spend it at the Focus digger of the digger duo. That's the one on the left. You'll get a lot of all 4 fossils this way, but you'll get around 5 times more of 2 of the four possible fossils. (Drake and Fish for Shield, Bird and Dino for Sword) You'll also get bottle caps and money items. Now this can really suck, so I really recommend buying one of these:

Yes, it's a little silly to buy a controller just for this, but I've had it help me in other games as well. The main thing about this turbo controller is that it can turbo press the button for you, so you can just leave the console by itself overnight. But if you don't mind pressing A a lot...

Also, watch out for items hitting cap, particularly the money items.


-3. Now we have a bunch of fossils. After a little over half a million I had about 250 of 2 kinds and about 50 of the other 2. Go to Cara Liss, and figure out what fossils you need to store to enable you to create a fossilmon with just pressing A and no directional movement.

-4. Once you have that all set up, save in front of her, and just turn on the A turbo button again. When she's all done, check for shinies and then soft reset if there's none to be found. For smaller volumes it was fine to just keep an eye on it. I used about 25 combinations for one of the mons and it reset every 8 minutes. But for Dracovish I had 250 combinations ready so it took about 78 minutes.

I took note of this because it was distracting for me to have it on screen and keep psyching myself thinking maybe I saw a shiny and stopped everything to check. So I set up an alarm every time I reset and turned the TV off or switched the channel.

LMK if you have any questions!

General QoL tips:

  1. You can soft reset a little faster by pressing Y and resetting instead of pressing X to close the game down.

  2. Turn off Give Nicknames in options.

  3. Make Send to Boxes Automatic.

This might sound a little discouraging but the only reference I used when making this thing was an Imgur album of someone else's shiny hunting machine: https://imgur.com/gallery/fsRkv

I actually did all the code myself using arduino C/C++ code and I would share it but it's hot garbage that barely works and you actually need to edit the code for every new Pokemon you want to hunt.

There are also no real guides on this (or at least there weren't any that were easy to follow when I made mine about a year ago) so I just used a lot of trial and error. I spent a solid two weeks working on this and tweaking it daily before it was functional and it was an extra week before I managed to find a shiny with it.

What I can help with is where I got the parts:

Breadboard and electrical components:

Hahaha it’s not a case- it’s the new HORI joycons https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Machina-Ergonomic-Controller-Handheld/dp/B07T5QKKVP
Give them 8/10. Much more comfortable but no rumble or gyroscope

I use a Pitch Counter. I just click it while the game is restarting.

How barbaric. No calculator? No cell phone? Not even one of these doodads?
