"PSA - You can get infinite (shiny) raid pokemon"

The way that raids work in SwSh allow players to effectively abuse in game mechanics to create infinite of any one raid pokemon by abusing soft reseting.For those who are unaware, the pokemon, IVs, moves, natures, and shinyness seem to be determined when the raid is spawned. The reason we know this is because if you save before a raid, and reset after catching and checking that pokemon's values they'll always be the same.This is good to know if you ever fail to catch a raid pokemon and want a second shot.For people who join the raid, they too will be catching the same pokemon. Everything is determined from the start, and everyone who catches that pokemon in the raid will effectively have the same pokemon.So this is where infinite shinys come into play. If you save before each raid, and happen upon a shiny, you can then reset and invite up to 3 friends to join the raid to also catch the shiny.Once up to three of them catch the shiny (you can attempt to, it doesn't matter if you fail it). You then reset your game, restart the raid, and your three friends can recatch that shiny pokemon. This will effectively give you infinite of that shiny pokemon (at least until the raid resets at midnight).Steps to reproduceSave before each raid until you find a shiny raidReset once you've found the shinyInvite up to three friends to the determined shiny raidHave friends catch shinyReset console (and go back to step 2)This can also be abused to farm infinite high IV ditto, high IV anything, items, etc.I'm not totally sure how I feel about this mechanic being in the game, I'll let the internet be the judge of that. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2pHmpJs
