    So, bit of a tip for anyone hoping to get a shiny Eevee, don’t reset at the city shown here, reset at the bug gym town. It can also appear there. It still can spawn the outbreak in a bad spot, BUT, it can also spawn north of the olive roll field or in the plots of farmland next to the west Pokémon center, which when they are there, actually are normal outbreaks with large amounts of spawns. I guess they REALLY wanted to make Eevee hunting hard since both of these spots have chances of attempting to spawn them partially or entirely inside towns

      @@dreadnox7970 He does go there in the video, but he gets the outbreak and shiny at the normal gym town, the only other place Eevee can be, I probably should have clarified time when I said “at the city shown here” I think it could spawn in either town regardless of where you reset, but either way the bug gym town has a better shot at better outbreaks, in my experience at least (which unfortunately is more experience than I’d like, Eevee hunts, even with a good outbreak, can still take ages and many tries on many outbreaks)

    I like how much sandwiches are becoming more well known to be helpful. I've recently started a habit of making Raid power sandwiches while farming Herba Mystica and XP Candies, and its really made a huge difference. Those 2 extra rolls have given me 4 HMs from a single den, and that was insane. It only has happened like twice? But that's still an hour of shiny hunting from ONE tera raid.

    I just wanted to point out that you don't even have to move the day forward to reset the outbreaks. All you have to do is set the timer to 12:00 PM and they'll automatically reshuffle. If you don't like the ones you get, you can immediately go back into settings and if the clock is still at 12:00 PM, all you have to do is click "ok" without even changing any numbers and the outbreaks will reshuffle again. Otherwise, all you have to do is roll the clock back to 12:00 once more. It saves just a bit of time not having to change the day.

    Austin John I have a tip for shiny hunting Tandimaus(or other hard to see shiny) . Using a mass outbreak, and the R button go feature. If you KO 60 or 30(for fewer resets) then save and sandwich, you can R button your poke to the rest of the outbreak. It will refuse to KO shiny, so you can then fight it. It took 10 mins per reset from 30 with this method, and odds are about 13% per reset for shiny. Not as good for easy to spot shiny, but way better than Masuda method.

    2 things:
    1- Do shiny pokemon not get blown away by storms? You can even see a jiggly puff get blown away right before the igglybuff encounter. But the igglybuff stays grounded. If true, this could be a useful trick for sandwich hunting igglybuff.
    2- you really need a control group for testing. If you ran 20 resets without any sandwich would the encounter table look different? If you want to say sandwiches make a difference a baseline should be established first.

    i had the same experience of the bad spawn spot bug with charcadet that spawns behind the pokemon league building, smh the spot seemed to be inside the cliff so that was impossible get.
    thank you as always for the amazing video and guide!!! been following since around breath of the wild and honestly, you're the top 1 most reliable when it comes to tips and guides for nintendo games
    i also love your animal crossing playthough and would love to see more of your casual play like with stardew valley. i think people would be really interested if you have like a second channel where you just post some casual play and talk, i genuinely love hearing your casual talk in-between your guides
    hope you have a fantastic day!!

    I have a fix for the Cortondo mass outbreak - on the east side of the olive soccer field theres 2 rocks and a small tree and approx. 5 metres to the south of that theres a single tuft of grass. If you stand right next to that tuft and look at the cliff theres a single spawn point that pokemon keep spawning from, and if you've got the eevee mass outbreak they just keep spawning from that single point (got a shiny eevee just sitting on the grass and setting up a picnic to reset). Note - if an eevee spawns asleep you have to go wake it up to move it off the spawn point to get more to spawn. Thought this could make for a cool vid. Love your work mate.

    Austin, you have saved me so much time!! I never comment on videos, but I have to share that this video has saved me many more days of insanity trying to hunt a Hattena (which has odd lake spawns where the Encounter power doesn't work so well). I was able to finally find my Hatenna outbreak after less than 10 timeskips with this new discovery! Thank you for your time and dedication to testing all these features of the game!

  • @Zynnix
    @Zynnix Рік тому +1

    I've found a lot of broken spawners for outbreaks. Usually they're in the middle of two or three different major changes in elevation like that top of a mountain, bottom of the mountain and a tiny little ledge and they either won't spawn at all, or you'll get like one spawn every 10 minutes which is not worth doing. It's pretty annoying actually. I wish the outbreaks would be set in actual proper places instead of being able to show up in such weird places.
    And the cave ones are always fun because 80% of the time most of the spawns are in the walls of the cave. It's a whole new type of shiny hunting where you have to smash your face against the walls to try and find the hidden pokemon lol.

    i was hunting for eevee outbreaks last week. got a total of 3 eevee outbreaks that were broken because they spawned in the olive field game. when i finally got one, i had to position myself in a certain spot close to town away from the route because the game favored spawning a bunch of pack spawns up there over the eevee outbreak

    Eevee outbreaks seem crazy rare so I feel like you were lucky to even get one. I stood at the normal town and the bug town, both with normal encounter power lvl 2, and skipped one year in each town and NEVER saw one. Meanwhile I saw the following outbreaks while standing in their spawn locations without encounter power: Flareon, Sylveon, Umbreon, Leafeon and Glaceon. All of these only took a handful of weeks or days. Wild.

  • @alexisj1526

    I did the Eevee hunt too, took me 6 hours to get an Eeevee outbreak. I got the one at Medali and it was in the exact same place as you. Their spawn rate is just awful. I got 3 shiny Fidough and a shiny Voltorb, but I did manage to get the 6 Shiny Eevee I was after. I found a Umbreon, Leafeon, and Espeon outbreak while looking for the Eevee outbreak and managed to grab those shiny. I wanted a shiny for every Eevee, plus some extra for my kids. Lol Took me an entire day, but I did it! Wish I knew about the sandwhich trick. Probably would have saved me some time, but then again after seeing how long it took you to get another Eevee outbreak, maybe not. Either way, great info and great video Austin John Plays! :)
