How Cute Charm Makes Shiny Pokemon EASY In Gen 4! (Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HGSS)

In Generation 4, there is a shiny glitch called the cute charm glitch that makes finding Shiny Pokemon easy! It makes it so you have about a 21% chance of finding a shiny Pokemon which is much higher than the typical shiny odds in generation 1. Today I will be explaining the cute charm glitch, how you can do it, as well as how it works to make shiny Pokemon more common!

I had a friend attempt to do this a few months ago. His first encounter was a shiny shinx which he ended up catching. Afterwards he wasn’t getting any shiny encounters, since he found out that he actually set up the trainer ID wrong. Turns out he managed to get a fills odds shiny by complete chance on the first encounter

When shiny hunting pokemons isn't enough anymore so you hunt for a *shiny trainer*

Can you imagine if someone coincidentally got those specific IDs without knowing about this? They're mind would be blown when they suddenly start encountering so many shinies.

My god the set up is a full odds shiny hunt in itself lmao

[angelhaerim]

idc if the chance is 1/5, running from those shinies at the beginning hurt so bad

I managed to do this by resetting and getting the perfect IDs, it took me 83 years 215 days and 10 hours

The setup was easier than expected, thanks to all the resources available. I was consistently hitting the right frames, but the ID was off for some reason, then I realised that I had to add an extra second buffer to my timer based on the IDs I was getting and what frames I was hitting. Did that and got it on my next try. Took me maybe 30 minutes. Probably would have only taken 10 if I realised earlier that I needed to shift my delay for the manip.

A friend of mine is doing this with one of his Gen 4 games. He's finding it hard not to catch all the shinies he encounters, and his boxes are getting filled up with shiny Sentrets and Hoothoots.

I've been thinking of starting an old copy of Pearl over from the beginning. And wow, am I tempted...

[nobrainer]

Know someone who was lucky enough to already have the right ID's and such for this glitch.

People will now hunt for normal pokemon after using this glitch

"Glitches" like this are really awesome to hear about, but I just never had the patience to attempt such things myself. All my shinies are either bred or found (or they're Johto's Red Gyarados).

I used an system called eontimer that counts how long it would take to find an appropriate ID. Using this system it took me 5 hours to reset for the first ID on Platinum, then 30 minutes on Soulsilver. Now I have two cute charm games!

[OmarPlaysPKMN]

It took me about 2 months and 2-3 hours each day. It's worthwhile though! Really cool glitch

Following a guide it was honestly pretty simple. Was able to get a Pokemon Pearl save set up on my 3ds in 3 Resets, took only 10 minutes after installing all seed generation programs

I knew about this but I thought it would never happen to me and I managed to get it done by accident on my Pearl copy😊

My tiny human brain cannot handle all the calculations 😭😭😭

Tip for anyone wanting a male shinnies - go for a shiny group "Female Lead (50% Male Target)". This will mean that Pokémon that have a 50/50 gender ratio will make the males have an increased shiny rate. As if you do a "Female Lead (87.5% Male Target)" the cute charm glitch will only work on Pokémon that have a 87.5% chance of being a male. The 87.5% group will not make all Pokémon have an increased shiny rate. So when picking a Female lead you are limited to the Pokémon's specific gender encounter rate. E.g if you wanted a shiny Abra in Gen 4, you would need to go for a group "Female Lead (75% Male Target) (as Abra in Gen 4 has a 75% chance of being male and a 25% chance of being a Female), however if you also wanted a shiny Zubat, you would not get the cute charm glitch as Zubat has a 50/50% ratio.

I highly recommend if you are not bothered about gender just go for a shiny group with a male lead as that will mean all Pokémon will have an increased shiny rate except the ones stated.

Did this to my Soul Silver copy and got a shiny Cyndaquil! It took me 3 attempts to get the correct IDs AND the shiny Cyndaquil in about 3 hours of hard resetting. The catch was if you got the right IDs but messed up the RNG manipulation for the shiny Cyndaquil you had to start all over again with getting the correct IDs. It was well worth the grind!

Best method to get shiny Eevee's imo. Soft reset the post game trophy garden till Mr backlot mentions Eevee and go hunting!
