Can you soft reset in front of the Pokémon? For example on route 3, I am stood in side the Hidden Grotto, in front of a Charmander, I have soft reset over 5000 times, and not had a single shiny.

[I have tested and confirmed that soft resetting in front of the Charmander allows it to change gender and nature etc, so I just assumed it has a chance of being shiny aswell]

OR

Do you have to soft reset outside of the grotto and walk in???

If anyone can show me evidence of themselves getting a shiny in the grotto by soft resetting in front of the Pokémon inside that would be grrrreeeeaaat!!!

Stay Safe peeps (insert peacesign)

You can save in front of the Pokemon and then SR till it’s shiny.

Hmm, well, I went 15k encs for a shiny beldum on unbound…and never got it because supposedly my save had a problem. And I went for 2 years for a shiny sandile on pokemon sun. You’ll get it eventually mate. I believe.
