Hey everyone! I’m Dinones! I’ve been coding a Python program using object detection that allows my computer to hunt for shiny Pokémon on my physical Nintendo Switch while I sleep. So far I’ve automatically catch shiny pokemon such as Giratina, Dialga of Azelf, Rotom, Drifloon, all three starters, and more in Pokémon BDSP. Curious how it works? Check it out! The program is available for everyone! Of course for free; I’m just a student who likes to program this kind of stuff in my spare time 🙂

The games run on a Nintendo Switch (not emulateda real one). The program gets the output images using a capture card, then processes them to detect if the pokemon is shiny or not (OpenCV). Finally, it emulates the joycons using bluetooth (NXBT) and controls the Nintendo. Also works on a Raspberry Pi!

I don’t make any money from it, but I think my project could be interesting for many people.
