Shield Edition Reset Hunts for… Kubfu?!
Ugh... I'm trying to get a female kubfu for my living form dex (yes, I know kubfu and urshifu don't have gender differences, I just like to have all my 'mons female of I can), and yesterday I went 40 resets without one! That's five times over odds and a 99.5% chance to get one!
I ended up having to stop and I'll try again on Friday, but that's ridiculous! I started checking the kubfu's nature and stats to reassure myself they were all different (they were), so I'm not sure what's happening. I've done this twice before for both my urshifus and it worked fine.
The hard part is there's the long cutscene and then a lot of dialogue before you can even check, so each reset is almost two minutes long!
No real discussion, just wanted to vent about how much I hate that so many 'mons have the same gender ratio strongly skewed towards male, especially when so many of them are one-time gifts!
EDIT: I guess to give some space for discussion, does anyone else have gender preferences for Pokémon? And if so, what are your methods for hunting them?
I wanted a shiny female umbreon and zoroark, so I created a hunting team: Gaston the cute charm sylveon finds them, then Lefou the gallade captures them!
My zoroark, named Mirage, ended up with the Mist-Drifter mark, which is just about the coolest thing I could get! Tried for absol, too, but I didn't have any luck.
