DOUBLE Shiny Pokemon Hunt✨Heatran Dynamax Adventures + Poipole Soft Resets✨

Main summary

Key takeaways

Gaming

Overview

  • Streamer “That Bald Gamer” returned from a hiatus and ran a dual-hunt stream: Dynamax Adventures on a Nintendo Switch (Switch 2) while soft‑resetting Poipole on a modded 3DS XL (captured via a 3DS capture card).
  • Primary goals: hunt Heatran in Dynamax Adventures and soft‑reset for Poipole on the 3DS. The stream mixed live chat interaction, technical setup notes, and gameplay commentary.
  • Upcoming/content schedule mentioned: Breath of the Wild playthrough (continuing Thunderblight), Final Fantasy XIV stream (Tuesdays around 9 PM ET), Final Fantasy IV (DS) playthrough starting Friday, and reacting to Pokemon Presents / Pokemon Day (Feb 27).

Gameplay highlights & flow

  • Dual-play method: use the Switch for Dynamax Adventures (long waits between turns make it suitable for multitasking) and the 3DS for quick soft‑reset checks of Poipole shiny frames.

  • The streamer often finished one Dynamax Adventure run, then created new rooms. Room code repeatedly shown:

    2244422

  • Many runs reached Heatran successfully, but the streamer experienced a long drought — dozens of checks with no shiny/phase for Heatran (counting began at 25 and progressed into the 30s).

  • Several runs were lost quickly due to poor team/enemy matchups (notably tough Swampert encounters or bad rooms).
  • Battle strategies used included paralysis/hypnosis, status moves (Metal Sound, Screech), support moves (Helping Hand), big attacks (Waterfall, Earth Power), and Dynamax to tank hits and finish fights.

Practical tactics, tips & cautions

  • Best types vs Heatran:
    • Ground (priority — 4× effective)
    • Fighting
    • Water
  • Threats to watch for:
    • Swampert — can wreck teams if unprepared.
    • Wide Guard — blocks spread moves and can disrupt some strategies.
    • Levitate and abilities like Water Absorb — check Pokémon abilities because they can nullify ground/water strategies (e.g., Levitate makes a Pokémon immune to Ground).
  • Team & move tips:
    • Bring status/utility moves (paralysis, hypnosis) to cripple Heatran or other tough foes.
    • Include at least one answer for Wide Guard or heavy single-target defenders.
    • If the room lineup is very unfavorable, leaving and remaking the room can be quicker than grinding a near‑impossible run.
  • Soft‑reset caution (3DS):
    • Poipole’s shiny indicator in Ultra Moon is a white flash on the upper screen — watch carefully so you don’t accidentally soft‑reset over a shiny.
  • Technical & network notes:
    • Ensure the Switch is online and you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to join Dynamax rooms.
    • Use the Y-COM connection in-game; invite others or have mods join if you need to fill slots quickly.

Stream & meta notes

  • The streamer emphasized patience and health breaks — he took time off for a health issue and mentioned changes to streaming times and content variety going forward.
  • He plans more Final Fantasy content and Zelda, with Pokémon sprinkled in. Viewers should check socials/schedule for exact times.
  • Poipole soft resets were performed on Ultra Moon (3DS) while Dynamax Adventures were done on the Switch.

Poipole soft‑reset step-by-step (as used on stream)

  1. Boot the modded/soft‑reset-capable 3DS and Ultra Moon.
  2. Get to the Poipole encounter screen.
  3. Watch the upper screen for a white flash — this indicates a shiny Ultra Beast/Poipole.
  4. If it’s not shiny, soft‑reset and repeat. Be careful not to soft‑reset over a shiny.
  5. Keep a count of attempts (the streamer resumed from his prior count).

Note: if you want the exact button sequence to speed up resets, I can provide that in a concise checklist.

Progress & outcome

  • Many Dynamax Adventures runs were covered (Heatran checks progressed from the 20s into the low 30s). No Heatran shiny/phase occurred during this stream segment.
  • Poipole soft‑reset progress: several checks were completed; the streamer said it would be his second Poipole shiny if found.
  • The streamer is close to completing his Ultra Beast shiny set — he needs one more to finish the collection.
