Shiny Hunting with the Synchro Machine: The "Herding" Method
WARNING: the Synchro mechanics WILL autobattle and KO a shiny pokemon! Please read this guide thoroughly and carefully check your gameplay while hunting!
Big news all across the shiny hunting stratosphere: The Synchro Machine mechanics actually suck for shiny hunters??? Due to the lack of shiny indicators and now outright massacre of shiny pokemon through the Synchro Machine's auto battle feature that KOs shiny pokemon without even so much as a wail, many people are being warned about the dangers of straying too far from your physical body while using this mechanic! But thanks to a guide on Reddit, we have a strategy for using the Synchro Machine to actually speed along shiny hunting mass outbreaks in the Blueberry Academy Terrarium! Please note that this method does not apply any odds rate increases, it just simply makes the encounters run more faster and is just a cool neat little way to shiny hunt. Here's how it works:
💜 Unlocking the Synchro Machine:
🟣 Speak to Synclaire at the Terrarium Central Plaza. She is the scientist first found standing beside the Pokeportal area.
🟣 After speaking to her she moves to the bottom corner of the Central Plaza near the entrance to a secluded beach in the Coastal Biome.
🟣 Talk to her twice to unlock all the features of the Synchro Machine.
🟣 After testing the Machine twice she then gives it to you for free use.
💜 Synchro Machine mechanics:
🟣 Press and hold the L button while also pressing the R button to start the Synchro Machine
🟣 You will then be synched to your lead Pokemon, much like Auto Battle
🟣 While you are synced, your physical body stays still while you are now moving and interacting as your lead Pokemon
🟣 This means, if you wander too far from your body then any Pokemon you encounter along the way will despawn once you end the Sync
🟣 You can pickup items (A), fight auto battles (Y, also by directly approaching), dash (press the left analog stick down), and fly (B, B again to land) as your pokemon.
🟣 Your pokemon will auto battle any Pokemon you "run in to"- meaning if you get too close to the Pokemon, or if a Pokemon charges at you, you will automatically attack-- and KO-- even shiny Pokemon
🟣 Sync will automatically end if your pokemon touches water and it cannot swim
🟣 Press and hold L while also holding R to manually end the sync
🟣 Please remember this mechanic only works in the Blueberry Terrarium
💜 Shiny Hunting: what is "Herding"?
Some players have found an interesting work around for this shiny despawning debacle. Here's how it works:
🟣 While you are synced with a higher evolved Pokemon, most lower & second stage Pokemon will run away from you out of fear
🟣 Using this mechanic we can sort of "herd" or "push" lower stage Pokemon across short distances
🟣 This works out so that if you encounter a shiny you can "herd" it a short distance back to your physical body so that it won't despawn
🟣 BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUN INTO THEM OR LET THEM GET TOO CLOSE-- AUTO BATTLE WILL KO SHINIES.
🟣 The trick is to keep your distance and have a little patience in using your Pokemon to cover the direction opposite of where you want to herd them
🟣 This is why it is recommended to sync near the outbreak so your body will not be too far away
🟣 While synced you can also "herd" the extra Pokemon out of the way to clear encounters much faster, though auto battling is also much easier while synced as well
🟣 Once you end the sync the shiny will be there for you to battle and catch like normal
🟣 Any sandwiches made before syncing are still active during the sync. So you can totally cook up some Sparkling Power lv 3 Herba Mystica sandwiches (we have a guide for sandwich recipes) and combine this with mass outbreaks and use the sync machine to have a little fun while you hunt!
So there you have it, a neat little way to hunt some mass outbreaks in the Terrarium! What do you guys think of this method? Would you use it?

Spoiler Warning for names of some pokemon that were not revealed prior to the release of Pokémon scarlet and violet so if you have not finished the main story of the game and are trying to avoid spoilers please do not read this post.
Ok now that the warning us out if the way. I found out that there are some trade link codes set up for getting various desirable pokemon in Scarlet and Violet that are tryingto spread around the community. Those being the starters, version exclusives, and ditto (primarily to try and get a ditto from a language that is not your native language for Masuda method shiny hunting.)
I really hope this ends up getting spread around so that way people will keep using these codes and people that end up getting the game in the coming months will have these codes to get pokemon they otherwise wouldn't have access too.
These graphics were all made by Austin John Plays. The link for the video i got these will be below the graphics. Please watch it as it helps with the etiquette on how to use these codes.

Testing testing- welcome back, computer.
I started Pokémon X three? four? years ago? and once I had beaten the game, I had very spontaneously decided to shiny hunt Joltik via Masuda-method. No particular reason other than Joltik was one of my first foreign 'mons. I think.
As of yesterday morning, Kasim the shiny Flygon has a baby sister~

Caught my first ever non-Masuda Method, mainline Shiny ever!! And I wasn't even Shiny hunting, I just randomly stumbled upon him! Tried to auto-attack it with my Ralts, but it wouldn't work, and just kept shaking its cute lil head no. So I showed my husband like "why won't it attack it??" and he was like "Oh, is it like too high of a level for the Ralts? *peers at my screen more closely* Amber... Babe... That's a Shiny! The game is programmed to refuse to auto battle Shinies!"
I have always loved both Makuhita and Hariyama, so this works perfectly!

I almost cried when I found my little blue boi in the wild. Still have about 100 eggs to hatch but at least now if I get a shiny I don’t have to worry what gender it is.
Not sure what I want to name him so feel free to throw out some suggestions~

I've been doing a Burmy hunt in Legends Arceus. And i am working on doing a full shiny dex for the game, including form and gender differences.
Still doing the first Burmy, and after 12 hours I got 0 Burmy's and 22 other pokemon. 5 of which came from outbreaks, the rest randomly appeared. I'm slowly going insane, I'd have to do this 5 more times. As far as I'm aware, there's no easier way to hunt Burmy and Wormadam 💔

Did some more shiny hunting in the obsidian fieldlands for a shiny Burmy for my shiny dex
Still no Burmy, but I got
-a massive mass outbreak west sea Shellos. Pretty nice since i needed it for the shiny living dex!
-a random shiny male Starly in the same run as the Shellos. Sadly I don't need anything from the Starly line as a male so it's an extra
-2 random shiny Zubats. I already finished the entire line so they're extra
-a random shiny Shinx. Already have the full line so it's an extra
-a massive mass outbreak Monferno, I already have the full Chimchar line so it's an extra
-2 shiny Magikarps in the same outbreak right after eachother. A male and a female, I did already have a female Magikarp but that means I can evolve it into a female Gyarados!
-a random female shiny Starly, great because I just needed female Staraptor to finish the Starly line!
-a random male Kricketot, sadly I dont need a male Kricketot or Kricketune so it's an extra
