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

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)

Boot the modded/soft‑reset-capable 3DS and Ultra Moon.
Get to the Poipole encounter screen.
Watch the upper screen for a white flash — this indicates a shiny Ultra Beast/Poipole.
If it’s not shiny, soft‑reset and repeat. Be careful not to soft‑reset over a shiny.
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.
