I know it's mentioned in the video, but I would like to draw even more attention to the absurdity of the timeline of these events. - John gets his first three shinies within an hour of us starting - TWO AND A HALF HOURS later, I get three shinies in 15 minutes. That means I went 3.5 hrs with nothing. I was rescued by absurdity
I mean, Mikey has the edge in a lot of the challenges cause he, well, remembers more info about Pokemon and locations and stuff. Let John have the edge sometime.
QOTD: shiny shinx before I even fought the alpha kricketune. My pro controller wasn’t working and started drifting, when I got it working I started heading over to where pichu spawns and saw the golden boi. And now it’s a level 70 luxray
QOTD: Technically it was the guaranteed Ponyta, but first one I caught was from a Teddiursa outbreak. I also failed an abra and qwilfish before i realized you could save when you found it.
QOTD: Not counting the guaranteed shiny Ponyta from the quest, my first shiny in this game was a shiny alpha Hippowdon. I named him Moto Moto and he stayed on my team until I beat Palkia (I started a new team after I beat the main campaign).
@@sarahhughes3959 oh no, I'm so sorry! Just a tip, in Legends Arceus and Scarlet and Violet you can save before you encounter a shiny and it will still be there after you restart the game. You just have to make sure auto save is turned off. Helps to prevent possible shiny fails in the future.
QOTD: My first shiny was one of the most amazing pokemon moments to happen to me. I found a shiny Nosepass but i was out of pokeballs and had no materials to make more. Only to 10 minutes later find a shiny Murkrow which i had pokeballs for.
You could have gone and bought Pokeballs, then go back to the shiny nosepass. The shiny Pokemon in a area Is determined when you enter the area, not when a Pokemon spawns
If you were in the sacred plaza you could have thrown you pokemon at the chests or boxes and they can have pokeballs greatball and the shiny ones ultraballs you might be able to get ultraballs from normal ones
My first shiny, even before the Ponyta from the quest, was the Alpha Snorlax in Obsidian Fieldlands. And yes, I caught it despite the struggle, and he was part of the team immediately after. That was both very stressful and incredibly exciting. As for which I would want... After watching this video, I'd say Hisuian Zorua. It looks gorgeous.
I caught a zorua on accident, I just panicked and threw a ball at it. Afterwards I realized it was shiny I also caught a shiny gligar in the same outbreak as Michael
my first shiny before the ponyta quest was a little shiny starly i intended to hunt for. didn't need to, she came to me before i could even think of starting shiny hunts. i love her v much.
Aside from the quest Ponyta, my first shiny was Buizel. Not just the first shiny in Arceus, but the first shiny I ever caught in any Pokemon game. It was a magical moment.
4:04 Yup, I experienced this with my hunt for a shiny Zoroark. This spot is totally glitched, where if you’re unlucky while fighting the outbreak, Zorua and Zoroark have a chance to spawn inside of that rock after defeating or catching another mon in the outbreak. I haven’t found a solid way to avoid this other than keeping your distance, so if you’re hunting for either of these Pokemon be careful!
QOTD: My first shiny was drifloon! This was very early in the game right after I beat frenzied Kleavor. I heard the shiny sparkle sound effect and I was legitimately confused by the noise because I didn't know how the shiny mechanics worked in this game. I stopped, looked around, and saw a shiny yellow balloon in the distance. Drifloon is one of my favorite shinies and I was very happy to add it to my team.
Bruh, same! My first Shiny was also Drifloon! Though I got it later. Right before getting Basculiegon. I had to go get Dusclops, and as I was doing so, I see the sparkles. I about had a Panic Attack when I saw it. Thankfully, I caught it without it battling me. I evolved it and used it on my team.
My first shiny happened to be a Ralts. I couldn’t explain how happy I was to see it. Gallade was my favorite Pokémon for so long and even though it isn’t my favorite it still is one of my favorites.
Same! Mine was full odds, like it wasn't even registered in the Pokedex yet. Found it in the ice temple :D (I heard the sound on the ground floor and it was all the way at the top floor...)
my favorite pokemon is in fact gallade, the alpha gallade at the top of snowpoint temple was shiny and I caught it so I have a level 100 alpha shiny gallade.
My first shiny in Pokémon Arceus was Shiny Alpha Gliscor. I was just running around when I saw that bright blue boy with red eyes in the mountains and squeaked. XD
QOTD:My first shiny was a shiny Stunky that I found very early in the game when I was just completing the story. When I caught it, I didn’t even know what shinies where until I looked it up. Once I figured out what shinies were, I was so happy that I caught one.
QOTD: my first shiny NOT counting the Ponyta was a Drifloon out in the Coastlands area. I was just meandering around, and it was after I had done a long shift if Lyft driving with no tips at ALL (and by long shift it was 6 hours so 6 hours and nothing but 3 dollar drives) I wanted to take my mind off that disappointing Friday evening and BAM a shiny balloon ghost just POPPED right in front of me and I shrieked and threw the switch in sheer shock, and my cat almost cost me the shiny by laying on it causing the game to go to home screen. But THANKFULLY I still got the shiny. He's named Obi-Wan since he became a ghost after his encounter with Vader.
QOTD: My first shiny in this game (and quite frankly my first shiny ever) was a burmy, which was both super exciting and very underwhelming 😅 I caught it within the first half hour playing the game!
3:24 My first shiny in Legends Arceus was an alpha Buneary (which I got before the Kleavor fight, so that’s fun) and the shiny I would like to get the most is a Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark
QOTD: My first shiny was a skunky that I caught by complete accident. I needed a skunky for the dex so I threw a ball at the first one I saw and it was shiny. It was also my first shiny in any Pokémon game.
QOTD: My first shiny in Legend Arceus was a shiny Onix. I was just trying to bully a Chimecho into a poke ball to fill up my dex and it led me to a shiny Onix. Thank you, Chimecho. I named him Maui.
4:09 I once saw a ponyta climb a tree. Just ran right into it and went up horizontally. I caught it and named it Tree Climber. One of my favorite Pokémon experiences.
QOTD: I had one of my best shiny days ever in Arceus. I was heading out to work on the dex in Obsidien and the first of those three Bidoofs you run across heading down the main path was shiny, at which point I caught it and aptly named it ShinyBeaver. A bit later on the same outing I found a shiny Drifloon, which I kept up on my main squad until the end. It was magic!
QOTD: I found a shiny Spheal in Cobalt Coastlands while flying around waiting for a time distortion. It’s my first ever shiny in any pokemon game (minus the Red Gyarados from Johto) and it’s a pretty good one at that
QOTD: Shiny Geodude was my first shiny in this game QOTD 2: I really want shiny eevee/sylveon on my team. Eevee was my first ever shiny that I ever shiny hunted, and it took only 100 encounters
Hey me too! I found him as my literal first geodude and I was like “oh is that just the new design that’s wierd” and then he sparkled. My literal first geodude was shiny
QOTD: First shiny I found was a Buizel I randomly saw while catching pokemon on the way to the other camp, didn't use it since I already had Dewott by then, but it's still kinda cool, definitely gonna try to find another shiny sometime though lol QOTD2: It really between Shinx, Zorua, Scyther, and Gligar since I haven't used their evos on a team hardly at all outside of postgame (besides Shinx of course, who hasn't caught or used a Shinx in a Sinnoh playthrough lol), and I really like the shinies on them and their evos.
@@warlockholmes Bro I literally spent like 3 hours trying to find a Shiny Gligar earlier today lol, I caught 47 Gligar total, two being Alpha, and I still got nothing lmao
QOTD: I was exploring a time distortion about 5 hours into the game and by accident I found a shiny onix . It's not the coolest shiny but I was very exited
You can also tell when a Pokémon will be caught. If it’s a short bounce with 1 puff it’s basically guaranteed to be caught where as a high bounce with 3 puffs of smoke it’s pretty much gonna break out every time. Medium with 2 puffs is a 50/50
QOTD: My first shiny was the Ponyta that Legends Arceus practically hands to you. The first shiny that I found on my own was a shiny Hisuian Zorua (thanks massive mass outbreaks).
QOTD: My first shiny was a Ralts and at first I didn’t even know it was a shiny because I just thought it was the lighting. I realized after when I put it on my team that it was shiny lol
I know apparently everyone says this story but I swear I'm not lying I had a shiny mudkip and immediately after had a shiny poochyena in og ruby as a kid. It made me think it was just common
Fun fact about spawns in Legends Arceus; all are predetermined as soon as you enter the region from Jubilife. You can reload a save if the Pokémon hadn’t been KOd yet. Spawning in outbreaks is slightly different, but the base 4 spawns work the same
Actually outbreaks work the same way, I had a shiny gardevoir spawn three voirs after the initial four, it ran away and I reloaded. Three after, it was shiny again
@@loganbatis5573 it actually has some dependencies on how you despawn the Pokémon, after the intital 4. If you ko/catch all 4 during a single battle, they would differ, overall, from if you ko/catch/despawn them one by one
i like how he’s so stressed catching shinies in arceus when unless you didn’t save while you were in the area or you accidentally save after failing a shiny there’s no way to fail one because all the spawns are set when you enter the area.
QOTD: My first shiny was an alpha mothim. I was just chilling in college, passing time, going through the story, came out a cave and there it was! I did not see another shiny until a week later haha (I didnt play that often)
QOTD: My first one I found was a shiny Luxio! Unfortunately my Luxray is way too buffed for me to justify replacing it on my main team, but I love my golden lion all the same 💛
QOTD: Just this morning, at exactly 4:18 A.M. I was riding around Alabaster Icelands, and I encountered a golden Piloswine among the dozen little Swinubs surrounding her. I got my Ultra Ball ready, and now my dear Piloswine (Now Mamoswine) is officially part of the PokéFamily
My first shiny was Rufflet (full odds by the way) This was my first Rufflet and at the time I was just trying to complete the story. But what made this shiny special was the fact that Braviary had a new form and the new all black is just the coolest.
QOTD: My first shiny was a machop I also have a tip for all Legends Arceus players. If the pokeball shakes very little, it's basically a critical capture, so you can be happy when you see it happen on a shiny or so.
As someone who randomly stumbled upon a shiny Geodude in that one cave near Azalea in HeartGold, they really do love to be shiny. I also wholly agree with John, I just wish the Graveller shiny was golden like Geodude, I evolved it and boxed it immediately because I was so sad, shiny Geodude was better to me.
QOTD: On my way to calm Kleavor, I found a shiny Psyduck! I was so worried that it was going to run away when I couldn’t catch it without a battle. Catching shinies in this game is so much scarier!
QOTD: I actually got my first shiny of the game just a few hours ago. 34 hours into the game, only having beaten two of the five nobles, and I got a shiny Yanma in an outbreak. I love him sm. 💙
QOTD: I know I'm late to this, but my first shiny in PLA was a Kricketot. It was 1 hour into my first playthrough, I had just beaten the Alpha Kricketune, and after I had left I saw a yellow Kricketot. It broke out of 3 backstrikes and I finally caught it at the last second before it dissapeared
My first shiny in Arceus was my first mon after the 2 catching tutorials and was a shiny shinx, and the one Shiny I want the most is probably shiny Zoura or Budew, I really like the purple beard that budew gains
QOTD: Other than the free Ponyta, my first shiny was a Pachirisu. The funny thing was that when I was going to the outbreak, the first one that spawned as I was diving into it with Braviary was the shiny
The first shiny I found in Legends Arceus was a Starly, and I hope to find a shiny Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark at some point because it is in my top 5 favorite Pokemon and the shiny is so amazing.
My first shiny was shiny Golbat in the rain. At first, I forgot to save and killed it but I saved as soon as I got to the area, so I retraced my steps, found it, and caught it. Now it's on the team and its name is Mr. Shine. Also, it's a lv. 100 Crobat.
QOTD: I know this is months late but recently got the game and rewatching these challenges I felt I should answer. I got heading to get the riding Wydeer when I heard the sound and searched and found shiny Stantler. It’s a bad shiny and I forgot to save and was worry when it started to run, not flee the area thankfully, but I got him. I’ve gotten some more shinies since then but you don’t forget the first…even if it isn’t a good one.
QOTD: My first shiny that I caught in Legends of Arceus was a bronzong. It was during an outbreak, and I was really supprised as it is a shiny I actually sort of like. My first full odds shiny was right after that, which was a yanmega (I am still really happy about that one). I really want a shiny zorua and a shiny growlithe. I mostly want the shiny zorua. Edit: I JUST FOUND SHINY GROWLITHE I AM SO HAPPY. GL WITH YOUR SHINY HUNTS!!
QOTD: My first shiny in legends arceus was a shiny alpha gliscor on my first visit to coronet highlands. Nearly gave me a heart attack when I heard the shiny sound and it was the alpha. As for what I’m currently hunting I’m hunting for a shiny Oshawott,Dewott, or Samurott in the space time distortions of post game.
Wishing luck on the oshawott hunt! I reccomend just going to the icelands as they normally spawn in those time distortions. Made me realize how small Hisuian Samurott was lol
@@rulamantic Thank you ! And yeah I’ve been doing exactly that. I’ve also caught an alpha samurott in the process which really does show how small the normal samurott is.
John: gallops through the dangerous hisui region on his weird deer (wordeer said wrong to be funny) finds a shiny geodude John finds a shiny graveler: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! The neighbors: what the hell is happening over there, a murder
QOTD: After the shiny ponyta from the request, my first shiny was a Kricketune really soon after, so soon I thought the game must have increased shiny odds
My first shiny in PLA was a teddiursa I came across in the mirelands. I never thought I would catch a full odds(I think?) shiny early in my playthrough but there it was right next to an alpha Ursaring. Its now an Ursaluna and stayed in my team for the rest of the game.
I literally was making my way up to meet Wyrdeer for the first time, and suddenly a golden Geodude popped up in front of me. Definitely not my favorite shiny, but a shiny nonetheless. Id love to find shiny Hisuian Zorua, it looks so cool
Ik I’m commenting 2 years later but my first shiny was a carnivine I found in the mirelands while heading to the noble- and the shiny I wanted to find (and have gotten 2 now) is shiny Alfa Zorua!
The first shiny I ever caught in any pokémon game was a Mime Jnr. I tried so hard to force myself to like it to use it on my team, but I booted it after like three battles.
QOTD: my first shiny I found was Starly, pretty early in the game. I've found several others since then. My favorite pokemon is Toxicroak and I found one in an outbreak recently! Also, a shiny method for this game with outbreaks, you go to the outbreak area, save near the outbreak, but before you see the message. Defeat the first 8 and if none of them are shiny, soft reset, go back to jubelife, rinse and repeat. Using this method ive found a shiny tangela dusclops and spheal, and I've found a couple more by just playing the game normally
QOTD: I was blessed with my first shiny being a Buneary. And she is beautiful. And then got a full odds shiny female Snorunt for a shiny Froslass not long after. Both of which are shinies that I love ❤️
Two years late for the QOTD: my first Legends Arceus shiny was the Alpha Parasect in the beginning of the game. I remember freaking out, wondering if it’d even be possible to catch it
QOTD: My first shiny in this game was a full odds shiny Paras around 2 hours in. I was doing the little Wyrdeer balloon mini-game when I heard the sparkles, only managed to tell it was shiny because there was another Paras nearby, and started panicking thinking it was gonna despawn when the time was up. Luckily it didn’t and Custard the shiny Parasect has been on my team for the whole game!
QOTD: After the shiny ponyta event (I don’t count that as my first, as it’s guaranteed), a shiny Bidoof showed up seconds after Update: Found a shiny Staravia and Buizel in the same day.
QOTD: While procrastinating fighting a certain post-game battle, I was flying over and I was like 'hold up, is that Luxray not blue?'. I flew down and I was right! it was a shiny! If i had just focused on flying, I would've never caught my first full odds shiny!
Answers to questions of the day: 1. My first shiny in legends arceus was a shiny drifloon I named Kayu 2. I want to try getting a shiny Zorua and maybe I’ll name it Zero, a name I commonly call any Zorua I catch.
QOTD: First shiny in this game and first one that I caught was a shiny Yanma from an encounter. Caught it before fighting Volo and soon evolved it. Was the last pokémon on my team when I finally defeated him and Giratina.
QOTD: funnily enough just a couple days ago I caught my first shiny in Legends Arceus (second ever in any pokemon game) and it was a Graveler out in the while. Evolved it and named it Tootsie Roll.
QOTD: Not counting the Shiny Ponyta quest, I encountered a shiny Roselia I found while waiting for it to get night to catch a Clefairy. She is now a very pretty Roserade.
QOTD: My first shiny was a ponyta from the side-quest but my actual first one was technically a teddiursa. I also found a shiny dartrix which was amazing
QOTD: My firs shiny was unexpected as hell. I was searching for piplup and went to the beach where you can find alpha Empoleon.. i saw it from distance and it was brighter, but I thought it was just the sunlight.. it was actually shiny. I was super excited.
My first shiny in the game was a Shiny Luxie that was in a mass outbreak I was ran by while doing dex quests. Within the same hour I found a random shiny Carnivine and a random shiny Shinx. Carnivine was full odds, the other two had completed dex entries. I had NEVER found any random shinies before this. And this was literally last night
QOTD1: My first shiny was an Eevee, which I found while attempting to catch an alpha version. QOTD2: The shiny I’d want to find would probably be Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark.
I know it's mentioned in the video, but I would like to draw even more attention to the absurdity of the timeline of these events.
- John gets his first three shinies within an hour of us starting
- TWO AND A HALF HOURS later, I get three shinies in 15 minutes. That means I went 3.5 hrs with nothing. I was rescued by absurdity
Rip mikeys sanity
I mean at least the first shiny he found caused him misery.
hi
Your starter is a shiny
Sounds like your normal shiny luck to me lol
I don't ever want to see a shiny rock again
I hate them too man, i hate them too
Hail Yeah!
“ I thought I was jumping into water” PokeMEN7 2022. “ If you were smart” PokeMEN7 2020/2021.
Well now you're gonna see more. Reverse psychology and all that lol
I support.
Mikey exclaiming, "I'm being chased by beans!" while being swarmed by Cascoons will never fail to make me laugh.
yeah
Cascoon beens
Same bro. Same
That's me with him just exclaiming "I'm being ROBBED AGAIN!"
same lol, he even spanked his butt cheeks hahaha
"If I were you I'd hate me too"
I don't get why Mikey even does THESE kinds of challenges against John when he's got crazy shiny luck lmao
I mean, Mikey has the edge in a lot of the challenges cause he, well, remembers more info about Pokemon and locations and stuff. Let John have the edge sometime.
QOTD: shiny shinx before I even fought the alpha kricketune. My pro controller wasn’t working and started drifting, when I got it working I started heading over to where pichu spawns and saw the golden boi. And now it’s a level 70 luxray
One of the only times drift has ever been useful lol
Shiny luxio, before kricketune too
Mine was buizel just after the tutorial.
Still no shiny 😭 I have 56 hours on it aswell
Mine was shiny shinx as well. Golden boy instantly joined my team
QOTD: Technically it was the guaranteed Ponyta, but first one I caught was from a Teddiursa outbreak. I also failed an abra and qwilfish before i realized you could save when you found it.
Mine was a shiny Zubat I found right after beating up the alpha Kricetune.
I love how supportive John is after Mikey finally catches a shiny break
3:07
PM7: "Oh my god it's hisuian zorua"
Subtitles: "Oh my god it's jesus"
QOTD: Not counting the guaranteed shiny Ponyta from the quest, my first shiny in this game was a shiny alpha Hippowdon. I named him Moto Moto and he stayed on my team until I beat Palkia (I started a new team after I beat the main campaign).
Sorry

I haven’t found a solid way to avoid this other than keeping your distance, so if you’re hunting for either of these Pokemon be careful!
if it spawns inside the rock try leaving the general are of the outbreak (unload the pokemon) and come back to it, they may have moved
1st shiny was hussian sneasl
I also found a shiny in that rock and I just battled it because you can still throw a pokemon at it and engage in a battle

My first one was eevee, aside from the guaranteed ponyta, and it's now a sylveon. I got it from an outbreak.
@@Julia.Taunton-Clark99 ponyta dosent count
1:50 Two years later and this is still my fave shiny reaction from someone :3
QOTD: First shiny I found was a Buizel I randomly saw while catching pokemon on the way to the other camp, didn't use it since I already had Dewott by then, but it's still kinda cool, definitely gonna try to find another shiny sometime though lol
QOTD2: It really between Shinx, Zorua, Scyther, and Gligar since I haven't used their evos on a team hardly at all outside of postgame (besides Shinx of course, who hasn't caught or used a Shinx in a Sinnoh playthrough lol), and I really like the shinies on them and their evos.
I got a random shiny gligar and kinda feel blessed by God cause I was just going for razor claws and thought it was a gliscor
@@warlockholmes Bro I literally spent like 3 hours trying to find a Shiny Gligar earlier today lol, I caught 47 Gligar total, two being Alpha, and I still got nothing lmao
QOTD: I was exploring a time distortion about 5 hours into the game and by accident I found a shiny onix . It's not the coolest shiny but I was very exited
Cool
Mine was magmar
Steelix is great tho, so nice
Mine was garyados
You can also tell when a Pokémon will be caught. If it’s a short bounce with 1 puff it’s basically guaranteed to be caught where as a high bounce with 3 puffs of smoke it’s pretty much gonna break out every time. Medium with 2 puffs is a 50/50
"You dont see me, woohoooooo..."
QOTD: My first shiny was the Ponyta that Legends Arceus practically hands to you. The first shiny that I found on my own was a shiny Hisuian Zorua (thanks massive mass outbreaks).
NICE
Pog shiny btw
my first shiny was octillery
That shiny is so cool congrats to you
It’s one of the best shinys in the game
QOTD: My first shiny was a Ralts and at first I didn’t even know it was a shiny because I just thought it was the lighting. I realized after when I put it on my team that it was shiny lol
I got a shiny abra, another one that is tough to see. Luckily my next shiny was Remoraid... bright purple but tough to see because of the water
My first shiny was a yannma
I know apparently everyone says this story but I swear I'm not lying I had a shiny mudkip and immediately after had a shiny poochyena in og ruby as a kid. It made me think it was just common
Fun fact about spawns in Legends Arceus; all are predetermined as soon as you enter the region from Jubilife. You can reload a save if the Pokémon hadn’t been KOd yet. Spawning in outbreaks is slightly different, but the base 4 spawns work the same
Actually outbreaks work the same way, I had a shiny gardevoir spawn three voirs after the initial four, it ran away and I reloaded. Three after, it was shiny again
@@loganbatis5573 it actually has some dependencies on how you despawn the Pokémon, after the intital 4. If you ko/catch all 4 during a single battle, they would differ, overall, from if you ko/catch/despawn them one by one
Mikey was so excited to see the outbreak of cascoon he missed the gardevoir outbreak 💀💀💀
i like how he’s so stressed catching shinies in arceus when unless you didn’t save while you were in the area or you accidentally save after failing a shiny there’s no way to fail one because all the spawns are set when you enter the area.
I think I remember there being away to delete only your latest save and then go back to the one before that but I’m not sure
QOTD: My first shiny was an alpha mothim. I was just chilling in college, passing time, going through the story, came out a cave and there it was! I did not see another shiny until a week later haha (I didnt play that often)
QOTD: My first one I found was a shiny Luxio! Unfortunately my Luxray is way too buffed for me to justify replacing it on my main team, but I love my golden lion all the same 💛
mine was zorua
The Sliggoo bit was actually really wholesome
QOTD: Just this morning, at exactly 4:18 A.M. I was riding around Alabaster Icelands, and I encountered a golden Piloswine among the dozen little Swinubs surrounding her. I got my Ultra Ball ready, and now my dear Piloswine (Now Mamoswine) is officially part of the PokéFamily
My first shiny was Rufflet (full odds by the way) This was my first Rufflet and at the time I was just trying to complete the story. But what made this shiny special was the fact that Braviary had a new form and the new all black is just the coolest.
QOTD: My first shiny was a machop
I also have a tip for all Legends Arceus players. If the pokeball shakes very little, it's basically a critical capture, so you can be happy when you see it happen on a shiny or so.
I never knew that
Dude I found a shiny Machoke yesterday and KO’d it on accident
I’m very jealous of you
As someone who randomly stumbled upon a shiny Geodude in that one cave near Azalea in HeartGold, they really do love to be shiny. I also wholly agree with John, I just wish the Graveller shiny was golden like Geodude, I evolved it and boxed it immediately because I was so sad, shiny Geodude was better to me.
QOTD: My first shiny in this game was shiny growlithe, I found her while roaming around the coastlands (no outbreak tho) being midway the adventure
QOTD: On my way to calm Kleavor, I found a shiny Psyduck! I was so worried that it was going to run away when I couldn’t catch it without a battle. Catching shinies in this game is so much scarier!
QOTD: I actually got my first shiny of the game just a few hours ago. 34 hours into the game, only having beaten two of the five nobles, and I got a shiny Yanma in an outbreak. I love him sm. 💙
Got a shiny yanmega in an outbreak :)
@@sircloudoof9559 oooh, nice!
0:31 that cut off though😂
QOTD: I know I'm late to this, but my first shiny in PLA was a Kricketot. It was 1 hour into my first playthrough, I had just beaten the Alpha Kricketune, and after I had left I saw a yellow Kricketot. It broke out of 3 backstrikes and I finally caught it at the last second before it dissapeared
Mine was drifflon
My first shiny in Arceus was my first mon after the 2 catching tutorials and was a shiny shinx, and the one Shiny I want the most is probably shiny Zoura or Budew, I really like the purple beard that budew gains
QOTD: Other than the free Ponyta, my first shiny was a Pachirisu. The funny thing was that when I was going to the outbreak, the first one that spawned as I was diving into it with Braviary was the shiny
The first shiny I found in Legends Arceus was a Starly, and I hope to find a shiny Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark at some point because it is in my top 5 favorite Pokemon and the shiny is so amazing.
QOTD: my first shiny in the game was actually a gible from an outbreak totally randomly. I just wanted experience and came out with a shiny
Mine was a gabite
My first shiny was shiny Golbat in the rain. At first, I forgot to save and killed it but I saved as soon as I got to the area, so I retraced my steps, found it, and caught it. Now it's on the team and its name is Mr. Shine. Also, it's a lv. 100 Crobat.
QOTD: I know this is months late but recently got the game and rewatching these challenges I felt I should answer. I got heading to get the riding Wydeer when I heard the sound and searched and found shiny Stantler. It’s a bad shiny and I forgot to save and was worry when it started to run, not flee the area thankfully, but I got him. I’ve gotten some more shinies since then but you don’t forget the first…even if it isn’t a good one.
1:52 the timestamp when my happiness spikes
john entered his villain arc with that one
QOTD: My first shiny that I caught in Legends of Arceus was a bronzong. It was during an outbreak, and I was really supprised as it is a shiny I actually sort of like. My first full odds shiny was right after that, which was a yanmega (I am still really happy about that one). I really want a shiny zorua and a shiny growlithe. I mostly want the shiny zorua.
Edit: I JUST FOUND SHINY GROWLITHE I AM SO HAPPY. GL WITH YOUR SHINY HUNTS!!
QOTD: My first shiny in legends arceus was a shiny alpha gliscor on my first visit to coronet highlands. Nearly gave me a heart attack when I heard the shiny sound and it was the alpha. As for what I’m currently hunting I’m hunting for a shiny Oshawott,Dewott, or Samurott in the space time distortions of post game.
Wishing luck on the oshawott hunt! I reccomend just going to the icelands as they normally spawn in those time distortions. Made me realize how small Hisuian Samurott was lol
@@rulamantic Thank you ! And yeah I’ve been doing exactly that. I’ve also caught an alpha samurott in the process which really does show how small the normal samurott is.
1:51 That is the exact same reaction I have with shiny Drifloons. I understand your pain man.
Same I have like 10
John: gallops through the dangerous hisui region on his weird deer (wordeer said wrong to be funny) finds a shiny geodude
John finds a shiny graveler: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The neighbors: what the hell is happening over there, a murder
QOTD: After the shiny ponyta from the request, my first shiny was a Kricketune really soon after, so soon I thought the game must have increased shiny odds
My first shiny in PLA was a teddiursa I came across in the mirelands. I never thought I would catch a full odds(I think?) shiny early in my playthrough but there it was right next to an alpha Ursaring. Its now an Ursaluna and stayed in my team for the rest of the game.
It was Probably full odds but the full odds for PLA isn’t that high compared to the 4000 and something odds in the other main stream games.
I literally was making my way up to meet Wyrdeer for the first time, and suddenly a golden Geodude popped up in front of me. Definitely not my favorite shiny, but a shiny nonetheless. Id love to find shiny Hisuian Zorua, it looks so cool
Lucky
Ik I’m commenting 2 years later but my first shiny was a carnivine I found in the mirelands while heading to the noble- and the shiny I wanted to find (and have gotten 2 now) is shiny Alfa Zorua!
QOTD: I came across a random shiny Mr.Mime. I typically put the first shiny I catch in my team, but I made an exception for the lime mime.
The first shiny I ever caught in any pokémon game was a Mime Jnr. I tried so hard to force myself to like it to use it on my team, but I booted it after like three battles.
QOTD: my first shiny I found was Starly, pretty early in the game. I've found several others since then. My favorite pokemon is Toxicroak and I found one in an outbreak recently!
Also, a shiny method for this game with outbreaks, you go to the outbreak area, save near the outbreak, but before you see the message. Defeat the first 8 and if none of them are shiny, soft reset, go back to jubelife, rinse and repeat. Using this method ive found a shiny tangela dusclops and spheal, and I've found a couple more by just playing the game normally
I think a shiny toxicroak is one of the ones I want the most. I'm planning on using a toxicroak in my next playthrough so hopefully I find one
your doing it wrong but right. you save at the camp not outbreak area so that when u reset ur game ur closer to laventon
QOTD: I was blessed with my first shiny being a Buneary. And she is beautiful. And then got a full odds shiny female Snorunt for a shiny Froslass not long after. Both of which are shinies that I love ❤️
Two years late for the QOTD: my first Legends Arceus shiny was the Alpha Parasect in the beginning of the game. I remember freaking out, wondering if it’d even be possible to catch it
QOTD: My first shiny in this game was a full odds shiny Paras around 2 hours in. I was doing the little Wyrdeer balloon mini-game when I heard the sparkles, only managed to tell it was shiny because there was another Paras nearby, and started panicking thinking it was gonna despawn when the time was up. Luckily it didn’t and Custard the shiny Parasect has been on my team for the whole game!
QOTD: My first shiny in this game was an Eevee. I have since evolved it into Sylveon. About a day later I caught a shiny Murkrow
QOTD: After the shiny ponyta event (I don’t count that as my first, as it’s guaranteed), a shiny Bidoof showed up seconds after
Update: Found a shiny Staravia and Buizel in the same day.
I've yet to get the shiny Ponyta how do you get it
@@aztecwrrior1997 side quest
talk to people It's the easiest way to get free things.
@@aztecwrrior1997 the side quest An Unusual Ponyta
them: i cant wait for more trainer battles in gen 9
me: oh they will be disappointed
QOTD: While procrastinating fighting a certain post-game battle, I was flying over and I was like 'hold up, is that Luxray not blue?'. I flew down and I was right! it was a shiny! If i had just focused on flying, I would've never caught my first full odds shiny!
I'm guess that battle is the giratina battle because i can't get past it...
QOTD: I got a shiny teddiursa and I want a shiny basculeigon
Same
@@DragonPriest01cw well at least you can get shiny ursaluna
My first shiny in Legends Arceus was yanma, been jumping back in the game and been finding plenty others! Such a great game, need another Legends game
Answers to questions of the day:
1. My first shiny in legends arceus was a shiny drifloon I named Kayu
2. I want to try getting a shiny Zorua and maybe I’ll name it Zero, a name I commonly call any Zorua I catch.
QOTD: First shiny in this game and first one that I caught was a shiny Yanma from an encounter. Caught it before fighting Volo and soon evolved it. Was the last pokémon on my team when I finally defeated him and Giratina.
QOTD: My first shiny was a Haunter I was so happy when I heard that shiny noise and I thought it ran away but it didn’t and I caught it.
Finally, I've waited so long for John to be right and Michael to be wrong. John is actually the one who says Wyrdeer correctly 😂
Heard the shiny noise when you are supposed to battle your rival for the first time and went and found a shiny starly. Never left my team.
QOTD: My first shiny was a random graveler. Next, I found a shiny husian braviary. Finally, I found a shiny kirlia. I want to find a shiny zorua.
I have 3 shiny Hisuian Zorua. The first one was Alpha. It is a beautiful shiny
@@darththeo awesome
QOTD: funnily enough just a couple days ago I caught my first shiny in Legends Arceus (second ever in any pokemon game) and it was a Graveler out in the while. Evolved it and named it Tootsie Roll.
QOTD: Not counting the Shiny Ponyta quest, I encountered a shiny Roselia I found while waiting for it to get night to catch a Clefairy. She is now a very pretty Roserade.
Technically John is correct as the 'tyr' in 'martyr' is pronounced 'tur' or 'tr' so the same can be applicable to the 'wyr' in wyrdeer
QOTD: My first shiny was a Yanma. I was just walking to GO shiny hunt in a swarm and then i saw it. Yanma is such a good shiny too!
QOTD: My first shiny was a ponyta from the side-quest but my actual first one was technically a teddiursa. I also found a shiny dartrix which was amazing
“Pokémon! [ 9:54 ] Meme! Review!”
3:18 I dont know if you have to ask me that question john,maybe you should have asked have you played legends arkoos.
QOTD: My firs shiny was unexpected as hell. I was searching for piplup and went to the beach where you can find alpha Empoleon.. i saw it from distance and it was brighter, but I thought it was just the sunlight.. it was actually shiny. I was super excited.
My first shiny in the game was a Shiny Luxie that was in a mass outbreak I was ran by while doing dex quests. Within the same hour I found a random shiny Carnivine and a random shiny Shinx. Carnivine was full odds, the other two had completed dex entries. I had NEVER found any random shinies before this. And this was literally last night
You mean Luxio ?
@@mosunmolaadebomi6592 yes, sorry. Auto correct
QOTD: My first shiny in this game is Glammeow. She just appeared even thought I haven't finished the story yet. But now I have finished it
Same
This is what the shiny graveler said we will we will ROCK you 😂😂😂😂
QOTD: The first Shiny I found on my own was a Shiny Alpha Gardevoir While heading up to Snowpoint Temple while doing the Story
QOTD1: My first shiny was an Eevee, which I found while attempting to catch an alpha version.
QOTD2: The shiny I’d want to find would probably be Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark.
Sammee
QOTD: My first shiny in this game was a shiny buizel which was full 1/4096 odds and I somehow got it on my second day of playing.
Got a drifloon on day 2 as well and it was completely random
I got a full odds shiny barboach on day 2. Seems to be a trend lmao
my first shiny in my life (13 years) was a shiny starly in this game, it has been the MVP of any game i've played related to pokemon ever since
