For the lazy alpha method, it's gonna help A LOT if you perfect the research task for the Pokemon you are hunting, because the odds increase to 1 in 585. It takes around 1 hour to perfect, but it's gonna save you TONS of hours of soft resetting.
Some of those tasks are really hard though and can also themselves take hours
does the “lazy alpha” method also work with non alpha pokemons? like if i were to go to a spot where a shinx always spawns and just soft reset until its shiny, would that work?
@@wolveon-4310 yes, so long as that shinx was prevented from spawning because of a massive mass outbreak. If you just want a non-alpha shiny though, I’d suggest focusing on mass outbreaks and massive mass outbreaks because they have way better odds
@@Xfire560 Can also take a long time to shiny hunt..it’s all RNG. If you have bad rng it can even take days. Best to always increase odds
Absolutely true. Similar to the dead battery in Emerald. Spend some time to replace it and you'll save tons of hours. Even if the dead battery message only last 5 seconds, if you're shiny hunting and if it takes... 10,000 encounters, that's 50,000 seconds, which is equates to 14.33 hours. Spend some time increasing your odds will save time.
Wow. This man has the balls to reset the gane after he found a shiny
Living on the edge lol
I also shit a brick.... it was shiny Sneasel!! 🥺
Last night I reset over a shiny Gabite and Geodude... just to get back the five berries I gave Munchlax.
(I went back and caught them)
They're more likely to still be there
@@lillith7257 when you know what you’re doing, they’re guaranteed to still be there
I like how the difficulty went from very casual, casual and then just INTENSE!
LOL to be fair tho every shiny hunting method is pretty simple until that last one
@@Thumbus yeah that's true
With the massive mass out breaks, I like to save -before- I give munchlax the berries and then I'll take a picture of the screen, exit the game, and then save my aguav berries while using the picture as a guide for where the pokemons are!
I definitely use the third method where I have to check every single one too.
That’s really smart saves you the trouble of giving munchlax the berries every time you reset! And yeah I definitely like the third method more than the second lol
this is genius! thanks for the tip
Big brain
I ADORE how you edit the little traveling compilations to the music. Came for the info, subscribed for the top-tier editing
Caught a shiny hisuian zorua while watching this, I finally got it after perfecting the dex entry for it 😫❤️
I never knew about the "lazy Alpha" method until this video. I thought I knew every shiny hunting method in PLA but I decided to watch to see if there were any tips or tricks that I didn't know about.
Great food, well-edited, and would love to see more! My favorite shiny hunting method is just wandering around the wilds of the world
The alpha manipulation method is literally how I just got my shiny dartrix today
Awesome! Congrats!
I love how chill this dude is about finding shinies
It's pretty easy to find shines in Legends though
You mean how he doesn't scream and act like a child for reactions from the community? Yeah, I like that, too.
@@alexcameron2880 shut up nerd
I started my shiny hunting through method 2 and I saw an electrode in one of the outbreaks so I said to myself “I don’t have this in my pokedex yet” I caught it and found a shiny hissuan voltorb, never went back to method 2 and went to my new home of method 3
Method 3 is king
@@Thumbus Learning that Pokémon spawns pre-load in massive outbreaks is a lifesaver. I will definitely be using Method 3 from now on.
Hey man, thanks so much for this guide! really appreciate it and was super easy and simple to follow!! keep up the great work! :)
The last method also works with regular outbreaks, trading how often they'll be alphas for a better shiny rate.
Anyway, thanks for the video! A lot of the explanations for how to shiny hunt in this game aren't written very well so they're just confusing, but you explained these methods in a very understandable way. Even the last method was easier to understand than I've seen other people explain it.😄
This was super helpful, I appreciate how concise but informative you are! It's so wild to think that we went from hunts normally taking weeks or months to having ways to pretty much guarantee a shiny within the hour. No complaints from me about it mind you.
Thank you for the methods in one video! It is very helpful and will help me out a lot! I’ve subscribed expecting to see great content here!
Happy to help! Thanks for subscribing :)
Great video!! I like your voice and editing style a lot.
I’m trying to hunt a shiny zorua/zoroark currently. I might try the alpha spawn manipulation method
Found the channel yesterday and had to subscribe, happy to see a new upload already :)
Great job with the editing as well, keep it up!
Thanks so much! Happy you liked it :)
Tutorial + soundtrack and transitions are sickkkk! 🔥 definitely GOATED
You've earned a like and a sub good sir. Best explanation I've seen, and as someone who gets paranoid about shinies, the Thumbus method is my jam.
Just subscribed! Thank you very much for the link to the shiny chart thing, I only just beat Pokémon arceus and I’ve caught so many shinys along the way and after watching this video I’m motivated to catch even more!
Thanks for subscribing! Glad you enjoyed! Good luck with your shiny hunting!
This comment made me realised that the youtube glitch made me unsubscribe
Super complete strategy, love also the edit! Good job!
Wow I never knew about the lazy alpha method you made this game a lot better! Good work!
The other day, I caught 3 shinies from the same outbreak event. Shiny Piplup, Mantyke and Starly. Good times!
great video, i really like your style of editing
I absolutely love how you edited the outbreak montage with acnl music
I don't even have the shiny charm but I still get one or two shinies every few massive mass outbreaks. One time I tried hunting a specific pokemon (Glameow and for a short while Ralts/Kirlia) and it took aaages. I got Gardevoir after a couple days but Glameow took way longer. It was super satisfying to finally get something out of a dedicated shiny hunt.
This was pretty helpful. I've gotten a shiny cherrim, happiny and floatzel from the regular outbreaks so far. I haven't managed to beat Volo yet because my Pokemon get too weak by the time Giritina transforms so I'll have to wait a while before I can do massive mass outbreaks, sadly.
Very informative, thank you, I will try this today.
Excellent video man. Thank you!
Thanks so much :)
Finally an updated guide! Tysm for the info. Been tryna find methods but they are all over the places with different game versions. Also rip on that first shiny
Finally an updated guide! Tysm for the info. Been tryna find methods but they are all over the places with different game versions. 👍 Also rip on that first shiny✨
I’m happy to hear that! That’s why I love making these. I hope I can help you more in the future as well😄
What’s weird is literally most of my shinies came from massive mass outbreaks. The most shinies I caught was three in a day! Yesterday I just caught my first regular mass outbreak shiny. Idk maybe I just have luck. I do catch myself doing the Thumbus method for mons I want shiny.
I find massive mass outbreaks to be a lot more enjoyable then regular outbreaks for finding shinies! Three in one day is awesome though congrats! All hail the Thumbus method
The most shinies I got in one day was 7! I prefer to use Mass rather than Massive Outbreaks, since I like the chill, original feel that I liked to experience in early game! The shinies I got were Happiny, Magikarp, Kirlia, Grotle, Petilil, Alpha-Shiny Yanmega, and Mismagius :). Still on the lookout for Zorua Alpha Shiny, so far no luck (I don't yet have the shiny charm).
Edit: It's the next day, I got a Sliggoo, ANOTHER Happiny and ANOTHER Yanmega :)
Edit: YOO I FINALLY GOT PRINPLUP! I love this shiny! Got nothing else today tho :/
Edit: New day, new shinies! Woke up nice and early and immediately got Abomasnow and Munchlax in back-to-back outbreaks!
I got 4 Shineys in 1 day
Same here! Yesterday I got 5 in one hour just from massive mass outbreaks
Edit! IT'S BEEN A MONTH NOW, I HAVE 6 PASTURES OF SHINIES
Gr8 vid. Thank u for the tips , will help . Ur awesome bro - just subscribed
Thanks so much! Happy to help :)
This was excellent thank you!!!
These videos are just getting better and better
The last method will definitely help when I shiny hunt Alpha Spiritomb, thanks a ton!
DUDE, the music and the edit is real! AMAZING.
10/10 guide you explained everything perfectly!
Oh! The lazy alpha method can be used to grab pokemon that are in the area too which is how I finally got a shiny eevee. A mass outbreak in the horseshoe plains and just resetting where the eevee would spawn until one finally showed up
That’s awesome! So it can be used for regular Pokémon too not just alphas!
@@Thumbus yep! I discovered that myself actually so I don't think anybody has actually covered the topic if you wanna do a video on it!
@@Thumbus I've also gotten shiny bidoofs, mime Jr, and a shiny alpha mime Jr in my search for eevee too haha
That’s great! Congrats! And I’ll have to consider it maybe in a future video! Thanks for the tip :)
@@KyraHailey nokimon mentions the ability to get normal Pokémon with this in his video, however he doesn’t explore the application outside Pokémon that appear around the alphas
The berries being worth it is dependent on which method you do. If you're going for a specific shiny, obviously the berries are helpful. If you're just flying around and checking them all, the berries aren't helpful. I find that if you're flying around just to check them, it's easier without the berries because as you fly through and check them, they show on your map which ones you have been to.
Nice! I appreciate this. 👍🏽
didnt know about the last method. i would love to catch shiny alpha arcanine, but i thought that getting specific alpha shinies is too hard. now i know that its not, so ill for sure try it out!
thank you so much for the video!
Awesome! I’m happy to help! Make sure you check out the link in the description to help keep track when you’re trying it! Good luck and happy hunting :)
does it have to be alphas
@@ayaanxae no but it has to be aggressive mons so you can initiate/bait them into battle
@@Josh-sh6oythx
Oh gosh I really need to think of replacement names for my shinies(2 not counting the Ponyta). I'll work with any suggestions also they were completely out of nowhere and pertain to mythology.
Great video
You have a really cute video style I love it. Gained a follower ^.^
Once I got a full odds alpha shiny walrein while I was trying to perfect the dex entry for spheal cause there happened to be a alpha walrein right next to where the spheal are.
Dang that montage was so good at 2:09 :)
13 shinies yesterday, definitely a bit of a record. This was a great video!
Congrats! And thank you :)
@@Thumbus Realized I forgot to sub. Keep putting quality content up, I look forward to talking about this when you're in the six digit subscriber counts and higher!
Great video! Really helpful. Love the content
Thank you! Glad it helped!!
I'm already at fourteen hours in the lazy method, so heres a hint:
Keep in mind that the normal Pokémon around the alpha you're hunting can also be shiny, depending on your luck you may find a lot of shinys that is not the alpha TwT
Great video thank you
Great vid. I do know that with the last method. You can get into a battle with 4 pokemon and only KO the anount ypu need and then retreat and it still counts toward the chart
You can also just save in town if you got multiple (massive) mass outbreaks to check.
The only downside to this is that if you see a random shiny you have to choose to catch it or let it go. Cause only the outbreaks are static before you enter the map.
That’s definitely a smart shiny if you’re checking out a bunch of massive mass outbreaks! Thanks for the tip
Abandoning shinies isn’t that hard for me when one is objectively better than the other. I even skipped a few shinies cause their shinies suck and I don’t want them staining my Pokédex.
for massive mass outbreaks i personally like to go in blind and fly over every hoard and then see if any of them are shiny. if not, i go to hoards where my dex entry isnt perfect and then fill out those quests. sometimes they can be shiny when new ones spawn, which is always welcome
You are the GOAT, thanks.
Would the space time distortions count as a method? Im hunting fossils (just need 1 more alpha shieldon) and caught a shiny Shieldon in the prossess. Good to do while ur doing something else but u do need to keep a timer ready and check before the spawn checks kick in just in case weather is bad. Great video
Coming back to refresh my mind and omg 7PM ACNH music 🥺🥺🥺
Thanks for the video. I found 2 shinies so far in a 30 minute span with none of the boosters but I've been unlucky ever since.
Will try the shiny manipulation for the starters 😍
1. Nice shinies
2. Thank you for the guide
Thank you and you’re very welcome :)
I like your methods,I have a alpha shiny and others that I just found and I love it.
There is 1 more shiny hunting method- called ghost permutation, which mostly apply for pkm that you cannot drag them into multi battle, I even sometime have to combine Austin method and ghost permutation to get the alpha shiny because I am working on Alpha shiny living dex, and as far as I remember the longest permutation I have to perform to get an alpha shiny is 96, which came from a MMO of 10 tentacool (94 from standard and 2 plus by combine Austin method+ ghost permutation), and the longest reset I ever did for not find a shiny is nearly 100, which belongs to shiny alpha basculin hunting and alpha shiny buizel
wow I had no idea I guess I need to look into that lol! good luck with your shiny alpha living dex, hope you're able to get them relatively quickly! I got pretty lucky with my shiny alpha typhlosion in this video, only took 18 permutations
@@Thumbus Now I got 130 Shiny Alpha and 15 duplicate which I will trade for rare alpha shiny in the future. But now I found it is harder and harder to alpha shiny hunt because now most of my missing alpha shiny is rare or distortion spam or tree spam
8:49 You can get through an entire massive mass outbreak like without resetting at all, if you battle them instead of catching in the overworld. The outbreak timer only ticks while you're outside of things like battles or menu screens.
Makes it even slower, sure, but it's good for people like me who want to search every 'mon in one go lol
Issue is, this can completely alter the outcome of each outbreak
@@JodiGeo Yes, I'm aware. But altering the outcome is only really important if you're doing RNG manipulation like with the last method in the video.
For the part of the video I commented on? Even if you inadvertently change the second wave spawns, the odds are still the same as if you went through just catching them and resetting. The odds that you changed them FROM having a shiny, are the same as the odds that you changed something TO having a shiny.
You have the same exposure and amount of rolls as what was done in that part of the video, but you also get the satisfaction of clearing the entire outbreak map in one go, without resetting.
@@mario_fez Well yea, but you still do usually get the most out of an outbreak if you catch em all
@@JodiGeo You can still catch them all in battle instead of the overworld. You don't have to defeat them lol
Hey! I found the video, thanks allot! Imma shiny hunt for my first shiny alpha! I already have about 38 normal shinies
2:58 I once found a Buizel in an outbreak in the SAME area.
The buizels love hanging out there lol
Damn bro, straight foward. That’s how it should be. Gracias Homie. SS.
No problem! Happy it’s helpful!
I tried the mass outbreak method and on my first hoard I found a shiny goomy, you’re a legend
ETA: 15 minutes later: I didn't know about the Shiny Noise before, and the next Mass Outbreak I checked was Shellos. I have a shiny but only because I heard the shine, it was at sunset and I had to check my box to confirm. I credit you with the practical knowledge AND the kiss to the dice, THANK YOU!
I, too, have Thumbus Syndrome 😔 Gotta check em all!
Thanks for the video, I only am realizing post-game how useful sticky globs are and I feel like a chump
I like the editing in this video
Sweet. I've got 14 alpha shinys now and I'm soon going to try the lazy method lol. Congrats on alpha octillery that one is my fav!
I found out about that one a while ago myself, and finally decided to use it when I began hunting some nostalgic favs of mine that had static alphas
Thanks babesss!!
This video was very helpful since I only knew of the first three methods. The lazy alpha method seems like it would take too long and the Austin John method looks like a lot of work.😅
Thanks for the help. I wanted to host a shiny hunting stream on my discord server but didn't want to spend 18 hours looking for a Pink Round Seal
I did a shiny hunt yesterday by just rerolling massive mass outbreaks + doing normal mass outbreaks for any Pokemon I wanted, and caught a shiny Ninetales and Zoroark in only a few hours. The Zoroark was the main one I was hunting, it’s such a beautiful shiny.
Yes!!!!!! I did like 7 mass outbreaks and then got a shiny ✨️ ty
Wow! I subscribed when you had less than 400. So happy to see you grow! Your videos are so awesome and educational. Thank you so much, keep it up 🫶🏽
Thanks for sticking around I appreciate it! Glad you liked :)
yo you should fr have like 10m subsribers like bro im new and this editing is insane
I was unaware of the lazy alpha method of doing things that way, might try that down the road. Too bad there is no fixed spawn for an alpha Eevee since i very much want a shiny alpha Umbreon and have not had much luck w/ Eevee outbreaks recently.
thanks for this
im your thousandth subscriber :)
Is it possible to save scum (save before entering the outbreaks, clear it out, then load the save to get a higher chance of shiny) any of these methods or no?
Otherwise great video, thank you for having done it so detailed!
Okay, but the Octillery montage was actually pretty cute (besides the ending, of course)
I literally just picked up PLA after months of not playing. Went to the Coastlands and the very first Hisuian Qwilfish I saw (haven't seen one on game until now) was a shiny. I thought it's shiny was its regular color when I caught it 😂
was lucky enough to catch a shiny ALPHA Cyndaquil in my first Mirelands Massive Mass Outbreak. Shiny Cyndaquil is easily one of my favourite pokemon of all time
I have yet enter the 5th area but have gotten 2 full odds shiny and the quest garrentied shiny. All 3 of them were in their pre-evolved forms so I was able to register a shiny for their whole evolution lines.
Also so for method three for MMOB, are the spawns set for every horde? If so then i’m glad I watched this video, that is when I at least have a “complete” pokedex, then as I’m hunting i’ll work on perfecting
I'm sitting here shiny hunting shiny arceus in brilliant diamond, stumbled upon this video and now I want to shiny hunt in pla 😂 looking forward to trying the 3rd method
What I did for shiny hunting is I search for massive mass outbreaks that have the specific pokemon I want, for example I did a hunt for Zorua so I would look for places that can have a mass outbreak of Zorua such as the Obsidian Fieldlands and the Alabaster Icelands. Once I find an outbreak at a specific location, I go to that location and I give 5 berries to munchlax to check if there is an outbreak for that specific pokemon. If there is no outbreak for that pokemon, then I soft reset and go back to jubilife village in search for another mass outbreak and I just rinse and repeat until I get a shiny 😊 I like to call it the Target Outbreak Method
It’s also a good idea to take a screenshot of a massive mass outbreak so you can better keep track of what you have done and also save scum :)
Was literally about to start doing ANY of these methods and immediately found both a shiny Zubat and a shiny Alpha Ambipom. Lets goooooooooo
i had this video on and decided to start up PLA while i watch and maybe find some shinys and first hoard on my first load in my first location had a shiny
AGAIN, IT'S SHINIES, NOT SHINYS!
The last one was so useful I found my first alpha shiny it’s a rhydon and I also found another shiny rhydon and a shiny Rotom.
How are usually look for shiny myself is I save at jubilive Village then talk to the person at the gates. I check them out to see if there's any question marks if there are I usually explore each one depending on which Pokemon have spawned I've used this to complete the Pokedex and to get a perfect Pokedex. If the massive Mass outbreak does not have the Pokemon that I want or need for the Pokedex I reset and then check the next location and if I'm lucky find shiny. Usually it's the luck of the draw. Thank you for reading this far if you did
All but one of my shiny pokemon have been found from me just casually exploring. One of them spawned in the first wave of a massive mass outbreak.
What's really weird to me is most of the time I run into several shinies in one day. I won't see one for two weeks and then run into 3 in 30 minutes. I don't even have the shiny charm yet (I got this game the day of release, clearly I'm being VERY casual about it).
In method one do you just go to every Outbreak without resetting or do you restart after you don’t see any in the first one?
I'm tempted to try the reset method for the alpha spawn after clearing an outbreak
having a shiny charm for lazy alpha method is REALLY recommended, spent about 28 hours in total shiny hunting 1 specific pokemon to put on my team before giving up and attempting the other methods in this video.
Thanks for the info I found a shiny 30 minutes after I watched the video.
Ive just booted this game up after a year cause i never did the post game stuff and i also did the dex as well. And shiny hunting has never been so fun and easy. This is so much better than hatching eggs or other methods. And i forgot how addictive it is in this game too. Im a bit of a madman too. If theres multiple massive mass outbreaks, I'll save at the gate, go to each area, and whichever area has the most shinys thats the spot I'll choose before i save in front of Mei. Im almost tempted to catch every single shiny pokemon...but idk lol
Hey man, could u tell me what u use to record ur game like that? I’ve been wanting to know that ever since I bought the game. Thx
