Will I catch a shiny Groudon in the next two weeks? Round 3

NO

I'm playing Pokémon Ruby on a Game Boy Advance, original hardware, no mods or overclocks or anything beyond a screen mod and a new shell. I've saved in front of Groudon and am soft resetting to shiny hunt.

The odds of a shiny are 1 in 8192. I can turn around two reloads in a minute. I make that around 1.5% chance per hour of play of me encountering old mate.

I'm not playing 24:7 like a nerd, my primary playing is while rocking a baby to sleep, watching TV or on the loo.

I've been at this for a full month now with no luck, so it must appear any day now, right?

Will I catch a shiny Groudon in the next two weeks? ROUND 4
53% chance. I'm playing Pokémon Ruby on a Game Boy Advance, original hardware, no mods or overclocks or anything beyond a screen mod and a new shell. I've saved in front of Groudon and am soft resetting to shiny hunt. The odds of a shiny are 1 in 8192. I can turn around two reloads in a minute. I make that around 1.5% chance per hour of play of me encountering old mate. I'm not playing 24:7 like a nerd, my primary playing is while rocking a baby to sleep, watching TV or on the loo. This has been dragging on for two months now and any just RNGesus would give me my shiny Gordon any moment now so obviously it's completely sane to bet YES.

Updated close time as the midnight course on the last two made me stay up trying until midnight when I really should have slept. Still no Gordon.

Any estimate as to the average number of hours you’ve been playing each day?

predictedYES 1y

@june It’s been a bit all over the place. Between one and two hours a day on weekdays. Weekend days are either no hours or 4+ hours depending on life.
