That's unfortunate.
I've already hunted Regirock, Regice, Registeel, and Regigigas in Omega Ruby, so I'm gonna transfer them to I don't have to worry about hunting them in Shield.

Yeah, got 'em Monday night, after I under 500 encounters, which was really quick. It's appropriately nicknamed B o i n g.

Going after Regidrago literally as I'm typing this.

Regarding misderevious, there were actually a few locations missing. I missed them too at first, but there were a few missing.

Hey, i've had a few questions and concerns generally about your question-closing habits recently. I just want to make sure; you do check that the information is on the site when you close posts for that reason, right?
I'll also like to mention, not all old rulebreaking posts need to be closed, posts on meta that are dupes are allowed, and generally posts that lack context don't need to be taken down right away.
Not all the examples I mentioned may be from you, but i just thought i'd mention those as i've noticed them generally recently.
you're doing a good job so far! just be careful when closing in regards to that first point

You still didn't fix Horse encounters for Bellsprout.

It depends on the Pokemon. Some Outbreaks appear waaaay more often than others, but some outbreaks are still pretty rare, even if you reset them with a sandwich active.

You see, in S/V, some outbreaks are likely to appear depending on your location. For example, if you're in the desert, the chance of you getting, say, a Capsakid or Little outbreak in that area is higher. Pair this with a sandwich (I'm not sure if the sandwich has to be encounter power specifically or if it can be anything else) of a specific type, for example, a Steel encounter sandwich, and the chances of getting an orthworm outbreak is higher.

Like I said, some outbreaks are rarer than others, so if you go to a place where Vaporeon can spawn and use a water encounter sandwich, it may take a couple outbreak resets, but you should eventually get a Vaporeon outbreak to appear. But then, there are others mons like Leafeon, who will take a long time for an outbreak to appear for it, but it will eventually show up.

And in case you're curious, resetting your outbreaks is really easy, you just need to press the home button, go to settings, system, Date and Time, Date and Time again, and just press OK. It's quite simple, you don't have to actually change your time, and you can do this without having to close the game. You can also keep the map open to see the outbreaks changing, so you don't have to close and open it every time. Plus, when you go to the home screen, the timer for your sandwich pauses, so resetting outbreaks takes seconds of in-game time, and leaves you with plenty of time to hunt after you get the desired outbreak.
