I could challenge that title! I've played every game out there and with the exception of scripted events and spin-off games, I've still never encountered a shiny pokemon!
@@WaZZaKZZ The average Pokémon player encounters roughly 137 Pokémon in a play through, and half of the games being 8192, and the other half being 4196, it’s not that unlucky.
Given how long it took Alpharad to beat Pokemon with only shiny Pokemon with *modified* RNG to help him, I'm surprised he still had some sanity and wastable time left in him. Just shows you how strong-willed people are.
@@maxthompson7107 Smant is Smallant, another youtuber/streamer who did this same run. Without the RNG mods. As the other person said, it took like 60 hours
Regarding the Rivals Golbat, to simplify a bit (a lot) normally whenever you meet a Pokémon, a random number is generated from 1-8196 (again, simplifying a lot). If that number is 1 the Pokémon will be shiny. Trainers are guaranteed to never roll a 1, but when he increased the shiny odds, he basically made it so 2 would generate a shiny as well, but didn't change the rolls possible for trainers.

Two things I find really funny is 1. How fast Jaiden got it and 2. How often Hoppip/shiny hoppip are in Alpha’s videos. Also loved how green the team was
13:50 this part is *the* best of part of this *one* video you made Alpharad. I think *piece* of content deserves an award because the editing *is* just so *real*
This video had hilariously good timing. Yesterday, I spent 10 hours straight trying to find a shiny Swablu in Pokémon Violet. Using the outbreak method. Which raised the odds. And I was looking for 10 hours. My friends got to listen to me as I slowly sank into insanity. Two hours after I finally caught the cloud peep, I was running around the map, and what appeared? A pink Dudunsparse. So yes, I find the timing of Alpha making this video funny.
Same for me but I was with 30 hours and it was shiny rayquaza in shining pearl. Also I kinda found a shiny gabite in scarlet. Anyways good luck with that
Honestly, it’s truly gigachad behavior. Between being able to make music out of pretty much anything and keeping the music DMCA free for use in videos, I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised that Toby Fox would do something like this.
I guess he lost all his characters to Crazy Hand. (I doubt he's going to fully become a Pokemon channel, he has multiple projects he had to delay due to the hospital visit and these don't require as much physical movement.)
I don't know why but Everytime I see someone do this challenge, they always get chikorita as their shiny with the occasional totodile. I have never seen someone get a cyndaquil in these shiny only runs
That Legends Arceus Shiny sound STILL activates my frantic instincts. What sort of Pavlovian magic is this? Am I forever a slave to this little sparkly noise?
I like how alpha rad literally could just throw stone every single rock paper scissors and win since Jaiden couldn’t use paper anymore but he decided to still use paper and lose I lost it so hard there
It's amazing how Jaiden- 1. Met a shiny in less then 10 or 20 minutes. 2. It was somehow Hoppip or BABBU as we all remember. 3. It was also another grass type. I feel like the goddess of luck just wanted to take a jab at Jacob cause why not.
19:00 shiny odds effect everything including trainers pokemon. You can even have the beginning pokemon you encounter and defeat for your starter in ruby and sapphire be shiny.
Trainer Pokemon cannot be shiny outside of the battle facilities in a few games and some tutorial cutscene Pokemon. What actually happened was this shiny odds mod changed what Pokemon IDs would be counted as shiny, so the otherwise guaranteed-not-shiny by the devs trainer pokemon now have a chance of winning the new odds lottery. Jacob reset multiple times and confirmed that Golbat was shiny every time
Funny Fact: I caught a shiny Shinx within my first 15 minutes of playing Shining Pearl. My very first shiny and I was like "Arceus is watching over me, praise be his name 🙏."
Today we are here in honor of Alpharad's sanity. I personally never knew it. In fact, I don't think it was even there. But it will be remembered. And it will be missed.
I love the energy between Jacob and Jaiden. I must've watched the Mario Maker 2 video of them a hundred times and each time it gets funnier and funnier.
Saw the video again and best thing about it is Jaiden , 1 yr ago : "i dont know how anyone streams" Jaaiden now : "doing the longest streams possible '

So what happened with the Golbat is that the shiny odds are based on Pokemon's unique ID number. He just happened to have one that wasn't shiny in the 8000 odds, but was in the 4000 odds.
@@GoldTheWriter He changed them to be half the normal rate after a bit into the video, but in any case you just made the same point the original commenter said. When they said that thr rival had a pokemon that wasn't shiny in the 8000 odds but was in the 4000 odds they're referring to the fact that Alpharad cut the shiny rate, therefore making the same point.
@@thebluebookworm3383 having watched the stream myself, I can say that golbat was collected during the first stream, meaning the odds were still 1 in 2,000. Also shiny odds are actually determined by a Pokemon's id number, however that only happens starting in gen 3. Nothing about what they said would lead me to believe they were joking about this, especially since, again, if it was a joke about what the rates were in his edited stream, it would be 1 in 2,000, not 4,000.
"I've never seen the appeal of shiny hunting" Several months later "Fuck it I'm gonna hunt 50 total shinies just to complete my shiny only nuzlocke for let's go"

The exactly same happened to me, it was beautiful
I recall doing an Eevee raid... Square shiny.
So what happened with the Golbat is that the shiny odds are based on Pokemon's unique ID number. He just happened to have one that wasn't shiny in the 8000 odds, but was in the 4000 odds.
It's also because he lowered the odds down to 1/4th their normal levels. He mentioned it at the beginning of the video
@@GoldTheWriter He changed them to be half the normal rate after a bit into the video, but in any case you just made the same point the original commenter said. When they said that thr rival had a pokemon that wasn't shiny in the 8000 odds but was in the 4000 odds they're referring to the fact that Alpharad cut the shiny rate, therefore making the same point.
@@thebluebookworm3383 having watched the stream myself, I can say that golbat was collected during the first stream, meaning the odds were still 1 in 2,000. Also shiny odds are actually determined by a Pokemon's id number, however that only happens starting in gen 3. Nothing about what they said would lead me to believe they were joking about this, especially since, again, if it was a joke about what the rates were in his edited stream, it would be 1 in 2,000, not 4,000.
Now do a nuzlocke
I agree with you so you’re getting a subscriber
Alpha using dating start for ad reads is so clever cause anytime it comes on I wanna listen to the music way more than I typically wanna skip ad reads
Silver saying something about luck with a shiny is the funniest shit ever 😭
"I've never seen the appeal of shiny hunting"
Several months later
"Fuck it I'm gonna hunt 50 total shinies just to complete my shiny only nuzlocke for let's go"
why do I imagine Babu slapping a coat of Shiny Paint onto herself just to join Alpharun's party again
15:14 best line ever “all we had to do was max out our friendship with copious amount of drugs” I’m dying of laughter :)
I love how I always see people saying Chikorita is basically useless in challenge runs, yet I love it so much I don't care and use it anyway to curb stomp birds and bugs alike.
Hell yeah,more challenges! Shiny stuff can be hell,but it can be worth it.
