      Me too! I have noticed though if you are scouting multiple massive outbreaks from town the regular spawner seed will change each time you go into an area, so if you wanted to see what all the pokemon are in an outbreak and see a shiny of a regular spawn you won't see it again if exit the game and go back there from town.

      i thought this aswell, the blaines suggested option screws you over if you can redo the outbreak but since you cant here, they are equally efficient and one is just falsely clickbaited, but combining this advance swapping for reseeding works wonders.

  • @dboozer4
    @dboozer4 2 роки тому +132

    It is possible to force docile pokemon into battles by tagging them with sticky globs when they are all nearby and then tossing down your attacking mon at their feet. Dont hit any of them with the attacker as it will initiate a 1v1 battle. This can be tricky, so lure them together with a berry first.
    Update: further testing indicates this doesn't work with skiddish pokemon, such as unown.

      Heads up, it doesn’t work for Pokémon that run away(at least from my experience). Docile Pokémon are Pokémon like Bergmite/Yanma/Aipom who don’t attack you unless you anger them. Pokémon like Buneary won’t work with the method.

    Hey Austin. Great YT channel! Started watching your ScarVi vids recently and they really helped. Raids, shinies, etc. Looking forward to your Samurott vid later on.
    I even started watching your Legends Arceus vids and it inspired me to re-visit the game.
    Thanks to this method and special shoutout to Brian for the additional permutations. I exhausted all 40-odd combinations for a 9-Pokémon MMO and on the final one, my alpha Oshawott shone brightly. Now a beautiful shiny alpha Samurott. My first shiny ever in the Osha family line, so thank you oh so much.
    Love your vids, keep them coming. I often just have them on repeat while playing the related game. I do not find them tedious, rather they are enjoyable to watch, time and time again. Your genuine feelings, reactions, opinions, etc are so valuable and enjoyable to watch.
    Thanks again, Allie.

    I love this guide. It looks complicated at first but it is simple once you do it a couple times.
    I managed to get an alpha Haunter, an alpha Ursaluna (great thing for someone who never evolved an Ursaring), and finally on the third attempt got a shiny alpha Snover. Currently hunting a Bronzor outbreak, those thing are so difficult to aim pokeballs at them lol they are so tiny.
    Edit: This method also seems to work to an extent with regular mass outbreaks. I did a test on a Walrein outbreak, first i captured everything and wrote their data in an excel; then i restarted the game (i saved in front of the outbreak), did a 4v1 battle and all but one of the Walreins that spawned after that were completely different from the 13 original pokemons that i caught in the first try. I dont know the exact permutations on regular outbreaks, but considering regular outbreaks have a higher shiny chance, this may be worth trying.

    Thank you for the video, it helps alot and I managed to get Shiny Alpha Decidueye, Spiritomb and Magmortar.
    It was a Dartrix outbreak with star, they are considered docile and seldom engage 4v1 battle. I tried throwing Sticky Globs at each quickly to get their aggressive on and managed to get into the 4v1 battle.
    On my 10th try of "kill 2 kill 2 catch the rest", Shiny Alpha Dartrix appeared.
    I find these permutations work better with perfect pokedex entry.
    Once again, thanks Austin.

      ​@@Josh-sh6oy I find a outbreak with a second horde, and save. catch them all, check the second horde (alphas/evos), if no shiny reset the game and then instead of catching them all i go into a 1v2 battle with them and kill both, after that i catch the rest and then if that second horde has no shinies i reset the game again, and then do the same thing with a 1v3 battle where i kill 3 and catch the rest, and if the second horde still doesnt have a shiny i reset the game and do a 1v4, catch the rest and see if that second horde has a shiny. once you do these and still dont get a shiny, you then start a 1v2, kill both and after that instead of catching them all like before you enter a second 1v2 in the same reset and kill both of them again, after that catch the remaining ones and check the second horde, if i still dont have a shiny from the second horde then you would next do a 1v2, and then a 1v3 after and catch the rest and check the second horde and reset if no shiny, do a 1v2 and then a 1v4 after and catch the rest, after those you have 3 more reliable configurations to try, a 1v3 and then a 1v2 after, two 1v3's, a 1v3 and then a 1v4 after. all these will have unique pokemon in that second horde, so to summarize it a bit, each reset you must change up the way you capture some of the pokemon because that will in turn cause new pokemon to spawn in that second horde. I hope this helps and let me know if i should clarify something further.

    @MUGEN44 2 роки тому +63

    i don't think you've mentioned it here, but in Massive Mass Outbreak, the result of the permutations are already predetermined since you're still in the village. so say, if you catch them all and you get a shiny in the 6th pokemon, if you load your game, go to the same outbreak, you'll get that shiny in that 6th slot again.
    now, what this means is, if you have the time, you can just fly around and do all the outbreaks by catching them and see if you can get any shiny from the first 8 Pokemon and load everytime the Massive Mass Outbreak ran out, you can take note of that outbreak with the shiny and do other outbreaks in the next run.
    personally i always do this and do all the outbreaks first maybe i get an easy shiny from the first 8 Pokemon from the first outbreak, and then if there's a Pokemon outbreak in my want list that has an extra horde, i'll do that outbreak after i get the easy shiny.

    I don't know it this helps but in this screen( 16:22 ) the Catch 1 - K.O. 2 - K.O. 4 was the only purmutation that spawned an Alpha before the last horde spawned
    So I guess catching pokemon in the begining and middle of the battles does generate more unique pokemon

  • @Samochan
    @Samochan 2 роки тому +22

    It seems impossible to try to engage some pokemon with more than 2 in combat at the same time, for some reason. Like dewotts and roselias, despite being aggroed and in very close vicinity, for some reason, it does not initiate combat with those pokemon when they are the types of pokemon which only aggro after you're aggressive towards them and not with line of sight. It's extremely painful, they run in every random direction and luring them close quarters doesn't work either. I have dewott outbreak which spawns a new horde too and I'm losing my mind trying to get new rounds of spawns.
    Edit: Finally managed to find the strat for these pesky monsters and first is to lure then close via oran berries, then quickly stun each with sticky globs. When they get out of stuns, even if they rush away, you can initiate a battle with all 4.

      @@stoutlandish580 I've been doing some testing and I figured out a method for pokemon who only become aggressive once attacked but won't run away (not cyndaquil sadly):
      Sticky glob works almost like a tagging method, the moment you glob a pokemon, you can throw your own next to them and it will pull those sticky globed pokemon to battle. It works even if they are still stunned. You do not need to stun the pokemon with globs to tag them (lv3 evo pokemons). The tag sticks for as long as the pokemon stay in combat with you and don't deaggro (dots speech bubble on their head) and it works even if they try to outrange you (prefer to have them close quarters for foolproof). Don't directly bonk a pokemon with your own though, that overrides this method. You can glob as many pokemon as you need to at given time and select how many and which ones you want to battle.
      Alpha pokemon will probably still join the battle anyway if aggroed. I did not test this one properly.
      Tested this extensively with grotle yesterday and it worked like a charm, so I did iterations for 2 hours and got no shiny rip.
