Soft Resets
Tap it. A shared session keeps every phone on this number.
What changes
One tally the whole group can see
Clearly named hunts
Keep separate manual tallies for different games, methods, or targets.
Live handoffs
Let a trusted co-hunter or moderator continue the same shared tally.
Cross-device access
Open the shared browser session from a phone, tablet, or laptop with an internet connection.
Three steps to a shared tally
No download, no hardware, and no account for the people counting.
- 01
Start a free session
Tap Start. The session opens in your browser with no account, ready to count soft resets, wild encounters, eggs hatched.
- 02
Label a counter for each thing you track
One counter per category, named the way your group already talks about it.
- 03
Share the link and count together
Everyone taps on their own phone and the totals update live while connected. Pro and Enterprise keep the record for later.
Why long shiny hunts lose their count
A calculator or paper note keeps the number on one device. Accidental resets, device changes, and handoffs make a long hunt harder to continue. Multiple simultaneous hunts also need clear labels so one tally is not mistaken for another.
Keep one manual tally available across devices
Create a named counter for each hunt and record each encounter manually. Share a live session when a trusted co-hunter or moderator needs to help. SnapCount preserves the tally entered by participants, but it does not detect encounters, calculate official odds, or verify whether an encounter occurred.
Customer testimonial: SnapCount has been a simple and effective solution for tracking daily customer traffic across our retail stores. The team has been responsive to feedback, and we're excited about upcoming features too.
Every store's and builder's count live, from the phones your crew already carries.
When one person's tally stops being enough
A single tally works until a second person needs the number. Then totals get read aloud, copied onto paper, and added up again at the end, and every handoff is a chance to lose a few. A shared session gives everyone the same live count of soft resets, wild encounters, eggs hatched, from their own phone, while it is happening.
The usual tools break in the same three places: more than one person counting at once, a total people need to see from somewhere else, and a record that has to outlast the session. SnapCount covers all three. Anyone with the link can tap, the running total updates on every screen while connected, and paid plans keep the activity for review and export.
Getting started takes a minute. Create a free session, name a counter for each category, and share the link. Nobody counting needs an account or a download, and it works in any browser.
Soft reset counter for Pokemon shiny hunts
Soft reset hunts are easy to lose track of because every reset looks the same. Use SnapCount as a Pokemon shiny hunt counter: tap once after each starter, legendary, fossil, egg, or static encounter check, then keep the live total open while you play.
The counter works well for full-odds hunts, Masuda Method egg counts, encounter chains, and reset-heavy games where there is no built-in attempt counter.

Add one after every soft reset or encounter check.
- 04
Save
Keep the link open so the count survives breaks.
Shiny odds and attempt tracking
Every reset is another independent chance. A counter does not improve the odds, but it gives you a clean record of how long the hunt has run and helps you compare hunts later.
- Classic full odds are often discussed as 1 in 8,192.
- Modern full odds are often discussed as 1 in 4,096.
- Charm, method, outbreak, and sandwich boosts vary by game.
- A high reset count does not mean the next reset is guaranteed.
Counter layout ideas
Single hunt: one counter named after the target Pokemon.
Phase hunting: one counter for total encounters and one for current phase.
Egg hunts: one counter for eggs hatched and one for boxes completed.
Streaming: keep the live link open on a second screen or share it with mods.
Frequently asked questions
Can I track more than one shiny hunt?
Yes. Give each hunt its own named counter so encounters, eggs, and soft resets remain separate.
Can another person help update the count?
Yes. Share the live session with a trusted participant. Everyone should agree on what counts before the hunt starts.
Does SnapCount detect encounters or calculate shiny odds?
No. SnapCount records manual taps. It does not inspect a game, detect an encounter, or calculate official probabilities.
