Code "Spooky" on our new Team Shiny Halloween Shirts! www.teamshiny.com New Shiny Hunting Discoveries have been made in Pokemon Sword and Shield! We were wrong all along! What do you think about this?
So this video is basically saying, "If you see a Brilliant pokemon, ENCOUNTER IT!" Edit: Looking back at this comment 2 years later and... lol. This was originally meant to be a joke comment but hey, it I'm become useful to others, I'm useful to others.
To summarize: Brilliant spawn rate 3%. Chance of Brilliant pokemon being shiny 1/455 once 500 encounters has been reached. Non Brilliant shiny rate 1/1366.
Thats still a 3/45500 odds of a shiny brilliant pokemon in the wild isnt it? Since shiny values are determined when a pokemon spawns in the overworld rather than encountered, it rolls for brilliant first 3/100 and if successful it rolls for brilliant odds 1/455 Also crit balls seem to be pre determined as well
This makes shiny hunting so much more understandable. Basically just ko a crap ton of a Pokemon, then just wait around until a brilliant aura one appears for a shiny. So simplistic, now I can finally hunt that Rookidee after 5000 encounters...
I was ankledeep in birdblood and feathers until I started breeding, still nothing. Now I do both, but still nothing. I am questioning if I can a shiny at all in this game
This explains exactly why the KO method does nothing to improve shiny odds for statics like Regis, Impidimps from the mushrooms, etc, since brilliant aura is impossible for them.
Well I'm glad my one random encounter with grimmsnarl ended up being a shiny. I would not like to put myself through trying to catch a shiny impidimp to evolve into grimmsnarl.
@@ArtisChronicles back before I knew all this, I shiny hunted Impidimp in Glimwood Tangle, KOing them as I went. When I got it, I was like “sweet, this method works!” Only to find out later I was just lucky to get it maybe an hour or two after I hit 500 KOs.
I got a shiny feebas in Pokémon Go and DIED because I’d been looking for one in swsh for AGES. If you don’t play go, I recommend it! I don’t go very hard, I just open it to catch whatever’s around me when I’m bored
Its always wild when something like this is discovered so long after release and it makes me really happy. With leaks and datamining and such it is easy to feel like there aren't any mysteries left in the games anymore and we have them all figured out before they even release.
All the way back in S/M there was data mines of the demo. I’d say that was really when all the mysteries of the games started to die off, there hasn’t been anything and likely never will be anything on that scale again.
@@PansyPops It goes back earlier than that, because XY bungled being the first simultaneous worldwide release so some places sold the games early and OH BOY THE SPOILER FLOODGATES OPENED.
@@thenerdbeast7375 oh yeah, I forgot that they were available in some places early. They weren’t available where I live so I kinda forgot about it, and got on day of release.

I've thought from day 1 there's no chance they could mess up such an integral part of their game code; the such a large community of people continue to play because of shines. Not that I have the brain power or patience to research this stuff myself but I'm glad somebody has finally sorted it.
Perhaps, but it still seems to say 'use the masuda method' for like half the dex. You'd think they'd want to encourage shiny hunting more since it's such a large part of the community.
@Enthusiastic Aizawa I think we all understood the odds of the aura pokemon showing up but I never realised they specifically had boosted shiny odds ON TOP of whatever odds you were currently at. I do agree that people clearly didn't understood how the aura pokemon worked anyway
@@FlipFlip02 umm, I tought I will hear something I didn't know myself already, but I remember when game came out that there were rumors that "brilliant" mons are having greater chance for being shiny... I think it's also mentioned in game itself somewhere... Dunno, Im a breeder, masuda all the way (expect for legendaryes of course)
That's still pretty broken though, because you'd still have to at least find a brilliant pokemon for the increased shiny odds to be applicable. This means that the overall odds of finding a shiny are still really low. This new data is saying that the increased shiny odds is still only 3% of the time, exactly as everyone thought before now, but that the 3% is in the form of brilliant pokemon.
It's a pointless introduction because the odds of getting one are smaller then a regular encounter rember of that 3% chance its 1/500, that makes the chance of getting a shiny 0.006% vs 0.025%
Considering how important shiny hunting is to the longevity of these games, I don’t understand why gamefreak didn’t just clarify this when they realized people weren’t figuring it out
Wild that I've been doing my Shiny hunts like this and being told Brilliant Aura didn't increase Shiny odds. Feels good to be redeemed in my efforts [looks at Brilliant Aura Shiny Sandygast]
Watched this video last night and immediately started hunting Skwovet. No more than an hour of hunting and I found it only encountering brilliants (506 KOs). Thank you!
This doesn't really change that much though. Because if you get 3 brilliant spawns for every 100 encounters then by the time you've done 4000 encounters you are at 120 brilliant which isn't at odds yet. Even going to 8000 encounters gets you to around 240 brilliant which still isn't even at odds. So if you just encounter every one you see, you have a better chance of getting it faster than waiting for brilliant spawns
That's a very good point, and it took me so long just to get a single brilliant pokemon to even show up that it's just not worth it to me. I hate that I wasted so much time on the KO 500 pokemon method that we're not even sure works as intended...and that's with the shiny charm. And from my wild shinies, I'm guessing I got more from the pokemon with the exclamation marks, and very few(if any) were brilliant pokemon.
I miss the old mechanic like in X&Y (I think??) and in ORAS where you could summon a hoard of 5 Pokémon at a time, that was so fun especially when you would get a mix of 2 different Pokémon in a hoard I hope that mechanic comes back in the future, it made those games so cool and unique
So how exactly does this change the rates, like you've still got to get a 3/100 encounter rate for a brilliant, and then you have the 1/455 of it being shiny? So Masuda method is still, ironically, faster whichever way you look at it. I was genuinely hoping for the sort of revelation that would allow me to stop biking in circles...
I've been doing the knockout method this whole with most cases being lucky apparently. I came back to confirm this as I hunted mostly only 193 brilliant skwovets during a nikit/chewtle hunt and I got a shiny at 193. His names Festy
I have 500 KOs on slowpoke and ive been hunting basically since isle of armor got released, should I only look around for brilliant slowpoke and encounter those instead?
@@zayedalkulaib9678 I would mix it up as I did a shiny hunt for shellos before news came out for brilliants and I got it at 842. So some days go for only brilliant and if you have no luck, try both.
This may be a dumb question but I’m new to this. Regarding the KO method, if you KO Staryus and Starmies, will it increase the chance of both Pokémon being shiny? Like do the amount of KO’s combine between the evolutions?
I mean there is no battle transition in legends arceus so it wouldn't make any sense for there to not be overworld shinies, because that would mean you need to catch a pokemon to even see if it's shiny, I don't think game freak would be that big of jerks to make shiny hunting that painful
I’m looking forward to the shiny hunting method in BDSP which will likely be with the hideaways. Not sure why so many people care so much more about Legends than BDSP.
@@benballier9580 it's mainly that they're trying so much new stuff that people just don't know what to expect, and people are letting their minds race at the possibilities
I wanna add to the shiny hunt aspect of this discovery. Pokedex "suggested" pokemon are essentially hgss swarm encounters, where youll find more of them in the open world. If youre hunting a specific shiny, youll see more on a day its suggested
This changes absolutely nothing! You still have to waste your time getting 500 KO's to get the the same 3% as we all knew. So are you going to avoid encountering non brilliant pokemon? That would be a huge time waster
I never thought that shiny would appear from Brilliant Pokémon. Usually, I battle them whenever they popped up in yellow aura and then earn Watts afterwards.
So did you just run into brilliant zigzagoon or did you run into every zigzagoon until it was shiny? Like I’m tryna figure out if after 500, do u have to continue KOing them or can u just encounter and run until it’s shiny
Mixed feelings about this. During SwSh’s life cycle, when the gen 8 shinies were new to us, we didn’t get to experience shiny hunting as it should- and could- have been. The Pokemon company article was vague and lacking in crucial details, which only served to exacerbate the confusion. The article says that brilliant Pokemon are relevant, but it never explicitly says that only brilliant Pokemon benefit from the KO based odds spike. It just says ‘shiny Pokémon are 6x more likely to appear’ after 500 KOs. Which made it sound like that affected every spawn of that species. Official communication regarding shiny methods has to improve going forwards- this should never happen again. Equally, in SwSh there’s a lot of interesting old gen Pokemon (especially from Gen 6) which are hard to shiny hunt in other games. So this game is sure to have a lot of posthumous value! I’m probably going to keep on playing it alongside BDSP because of this!
At least next is Gen 4 remakes where we should know how the Shiny hunting works (I never got it to work as a kid). But hopefully no miscommunication happens for Arceus
No offense, but your perspective is problematic to me. What happened to wanting to figure things out for yourself within a game? Why do you need a guide for everything? Play the game and learn.
@@sheer_1 So you're telling me you've figured out everything about Shiny Hunting, on your own, without getting the information from anyone else or looking it up online? If so, that is pretty impressive I must say. The game itself never goes into much detail about how to shiny hunt, and what does or doesn't work. It never mentions (at least from what I'm aware. Correct me if I'm wrong) that knocking out a certain number of Pokemon has anything to do with lowering the odds of finding a shiny, or that Brilliant Spawns are the only ones to have those odds. If you want to take it further, we don't even get told what can and cannot be hunted. If it wasn't for people datamining the games, we would just have to go in blind and hope some things are not shiny locked. I would have honestly put money on Regieleki and Regidrago being shiny locked. Given how RNG-based Shiny Hunting already is, I'm curious how you expect people to "figure things out for themselves"?
it’s so unfortunate that the SwSh shiny hunting method was so hard to comprehend, and now that we do know how it works, it’s even worse than we assumed.
UPDATE!! I just tested it. Within 30 minutes, I found a shiny Rookidee! Brillant aura! I had 500+ knocked out and only ran into the auras! I am so happy!!
Before this news, I've been in the same patchy area where I knocked out several pokemon 500 times for MONTHS, with only a couple of shinies to show for it. I tried this new method today, and so far I don't think it's worth it, and it still feels broken. It's just so hard to get the brilliant pokemon to even show up to get the boosted odds. Brilliant Diamond and it's pokeradar can't get here fast enough.
This is why the Pokémon Company should just tell us about stuff like this, literally the game has been out for like two years now and we only just discovered how shiny hunting works 😑😑😑
That would explain why it's technically hard to set up that method, it's similar to SOS hunting and DexNaving. Really great chance at a shiny with egg moves, high IVs, ect, but setting it up takes a long time compared to other shiny methods you could do. Plus a shiny marked pokemon's well worth the effort if you ask me.
This is super interesting!! I'm gonna test this myself. I've had a chain of 500+ Combees for over a year now but have had no luck finding a shiny one.. I'm going to try encountering only Combees that spawn with the Brilliant Aura, and see how long it takes until a shiny appears. I will update once I find it!
That's not all of what's being said. Your chain will reset after each encounter with Pokemon with the Brilliant Aura, if I'm reading and hearing that correctly.
@@hydrahugs I don't know for sure; looking back through, it might be, but given my own shiny luck in Sw/Sh, I'm of the type to not wanna take those kinds of chances. Then again, I've never gone the full 500 KOs on a single target, either. Something else always came up and took me away from the chain.
500 KOs has nothing to do with chains. It just improves brilliant rate for the species and apparently those brilliants have increased shiny rate (also dependent on KO count). Chaining (non-fishing) itself is debatable as to whether or not it exists, but if it does maxes at 25. The two mechanics (if there are two that is) are unrelated.
@@HitoSorrelius Chain Fishing in Sword and Shield is just for increasing the chance of encountering a Brilliant Pokemon. That is the chain that resets when you encounter a Brilliant Pokemon. There is no chain involved in the KO Method. Once you knock out 100 of a specific Pokemon (500 if you want even higher shiny odds), you have a 3% chance of a Brilliant Pokemon of that species spawning.
It still sounds pretty tedious to me though. No matter what, the rate of finding the brilliant spawn is still very low. So instead of running into everything after 500, you should only look for brilliant spawns which don’t ultimately show up that much. Please correct me if I’m wrong!
Just KO 100 mons. you still got that 3% chance for the brilliant pokemon and 1 in 683. Knocking out 500 has the same brilliant odd but increases your odds to 1 in 450 or so. Not really worth it to go for 500.
@@endk.3500 I mean like if you beat like 200 Pokémon you will get 1/300 or 1/400 or 500 something like that so people won’t get a 1 or 3% to get it and I didn’t say to get it more easier
Personally, when I used to shiny hunt with the KO method I had noticed that brilliant pokemon spawned more with a higher chain. I would use it as a indicator my chances are being increased cause of the KO method. Glad my original thinking was true cause I have had two brilliant pokemon appear at once in a shiny hunt!
This is insane to hear, I have no absolutely no way of proving it but This was actually my theory from the start. At least I get to brag to my friends and brother as I had told them about it a million times.
this is obviously more effective with mons that can be found easily, and things that don't pop up exclusively in random encounters. morpeko and applin are definitely still better hatched, and everything that spawns in the part of the game before the wild area this is obviously better. everything else i think is case by case. i'm pretty sure the galarian version exclusives are still better bred.
this is actually perfect. cause i've been wanting to huny for shiny-brilliant pokemon with marks. now it looks like its possible and not a complete time waste! thanks Dan!
When I think I got my first shiny in Pokémon Shield while I was standing on my bike in the Wild Area, in the middle of the road, while texting my friend. I just noticed that Purrloin that was just calmly walking towards me. Didn't think much of it. Continued texting my friend, and as I wasn't even paying attention it bumped into me and I heard the fight music. Looked up to my screen to notice it was a shiny one. I was so happy, even if it's a Purrloin / Liepard and I don't use it at all. Was so odd that I was standing in the middle of the road, doing nothing, and that shiny mon walked straight up to me and was like '' I CHOOSE YOU ! '' hahaha
So I have about 1100 Nickit, looking for that freaking Shiny... can you say TIME WASTED hahah Thank you so much for posting this aDrive, this has been so helpful
Doesnt really change much, still need 100 KO to recieve a 3% boost to get the brilliant which then have the boosted odds. So 100 KO to still only get a boost 3% of the time.
It changes the visual aspect of things. Before when we thought any member of the species had boosted odds, we had no way of knowing if a shiny we found had the boosted odds or not. Now we know if it is a Brilliant Pokémon, it will have the boosted odds. It doesn’t change a lot from a practical standpoint, but it does make the whole thing make a lot more sense to how we all thought it worked.
Because of the 3% for it to be brilliant in the first place and the odds are still out of like 1/600 as brilliant doesn’t that mean it’s less likely than just a full odds random of 1/4100? Bc you’d multiply 1/600 * 1/33 for brilliant chance? That sucks :/
Welp, guessing KO farming the legendries in the last expansion was a waste. Guess I'll try this with klefki... That's the only one I'm at 500+ KOs. Edit: Klefki wont spawn brilliants...
Part of me also don’t understand why the Pokémon company or game freak or whoever is in charge does Not explain exactly how the mechanic works and let us all engineer a way to understand
Mind = blown. This saves me so much time! No longer do i have to encounter every pokemon after i hit that 100 Mark TwT Imma just focus on the brilliants - thank you for this information!
It works!! Found a shiny Pikachu with yellow aura. Had done over 5k encounters w/ shiny charm and 500 KOd and found a shiny Yamper around 4k. 1,186 encounters on the second phase, but only like 40 since i started encountering only brilliant aura 😂😂
So... can someone please clarify. The 500 shiny hunt methods works but only brilliant pokemon have the chance of being shiny, ye? So when i get to 500, only run into brilliant Pokemon? Thanks
Apparently I've been *accidentally* doing it right. As during my assumed full odds hunting I'd always gun for brilliant pokemon of those I was hunting. So I guess in a way I was doing it right. Never really cares for methods, just kept going for the pokemon I wanted until I finally came across it.
Awesome video! There is one thing I’m still a little confused on, when you start getting more brilliant Pokémon to appear, should you only knock out those mons for increased shiny odds? There was a lot of info in the video haha, it was a bit hard to keep up with
Wait so if I’m understanding this correctly, once you reach 500 battles, just keep running into only the brilliant Pokémon that you’re going for and you’ll get a shiny faster this way instead of continuing the KOs?
The hints for BRILLIANT Diamond and SHINING (Shiny) Pearl were there, we were all just too stupid to realise. After seeing the data laid out like this kind of makes the Shiny Hunting method pretty obvious, again we were all just too stupid to realise. In short we're all just stupid.
Wait, so when we are talking about 500 KOs, is this a permanent stat that you cannot reset? Or do you have to KO 500 Pokémon of a specific species in one sitting, and/or without running into another species on accident?
So how does this work with the Spiritomb in Crown Thundra? Because one can continue to battle it up to 500 battles, but I don't think it can have a brilliant aura right?
So, it's really no different than what everyone thought. Difference being people thought the 3% rule applied to all pokemon but it's actually the odds of finding a brilliant aura which gets the boosted shiny odds
Well, that's basicly the same as before... You still have 3% of having boosted odds. And if you have no aura, might as well encounter the mon for the base odds and in order to respawn it. This method still sucks...
Exactly what I was thinking. The excitement over this revelation is very dumb because this video just confirms what we already thought, only actually clarifying that the 3% chance of boosted odds comes in the form of brilliant pokemon. You still have to get the brilliant pokemon to spawn, which happens only 3% of the time. So it's still a 3% chance of boosted shiny odds. I bet the reason that the Pokemon company hasn't spoken up about it is because fans were already essentially correct to begin with. The detail about it only applying to brilliant pokemon really isn't all that crucial when it's assumed that most people encounter them when they appear anyways. All this video told me is that the brilliant pokemon method to shiny hunting is still pretty dumb.
@@PaintingMeJosh I think the excitement comes from people who where doing the methoud and not getting anything. only to find out the methoud was broken might actually get something for all the work they put in allready.
For a good while i had an inkling that the shiny aura meant higher chance of shiny just because the way it looks to me stands out to me saying could be shiny here even without the data mining.
So basically, the shiny chance from defeating more and more pokemon is that (that is up to 500 pokemon at at most x6) only increases the chance when you encounter a brilliant aura pokemon. BUT MOST importantly, it's way more worth it to just keep spawning brilliant aura Pokemon once you hit 100 defeated Pokemon as the chance for Brilliant Aura ones are already double and going up to 500 would only double the chances up the encounter.
Definitely gonna try this today or tomorrow. Although I find it funny now that my first shiny in SWSH was by chain fishing in my first playthrough near the 2nd gym and I got an Arrokuda, it was something like 80-90 encounters. I just don't remembered if it was brilliant or not.
@3:16 They DID tell us, they made an entire statement telling us how it worked soon after the game released because everyone was pissed. No one believed them because the dataminers said otherwise. Meanwhile I'm just sitting here with my 200 shinies from this method because I followed their instructions. :D
I have 3 boxes of shinnies and not one of them came from the brilliant aura, it’s half eggs and 500 ko, which apparently those ones were just all shiny charm lol.
When i see pokemon it immediately sounds to me to collect, I remember the first cards that were valued up to a million dollars, knowing that I do not want to imagine when the block monsters nft will be worth, that is just starting and its mnstrs token is super accessible
My shiny dex is almost done but this is a very cool and needed research for “our world” gl to the whole shiny hunting community with those brilliant auras💪🏼
The 100kos maxes brilliant aura chance The 500kos maxed shiny chance The difference in shiny chance isn’t huge between the two (off the top of my head 1/650 vs 1/450)
@@agpbeats6916 I never said they were free just took less time my bf surprise trades and gets shinies all the time I at least hunt mine even if it takes less than 700 encounters I put in the effort to catch and breed specific shiny hunting pokemon for the sos method

Thank you, I appreciate you summarizing his rambling into the shortest possible sentence.
Thank you. This guys rambling was ridiculous
To summarize: Brilliant spawn rate 3%. Chance of Brilliant pokemon being shiny 1/455 once 500 encounters has been reached. Non Brilliant shiny rate 1/1366.
Thats still a 3/45500 odds of a shiny brilliant pokemon in the wild isnt it? Since shiny values are determined when a pokemon spawns in the overworld rather than encountered, it rolls for brilliant first 3/100 and if successful it rolls for brilliant odds 1/455
Also crit balls seem to be pre determined as well
Thank you for this!

So from "brilliant" pokemon you can get "shiny" pokemon. That´s a cool way to hint Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Pls 🙄
Considering how important shiny hunting is to the longevity of these games, I don’t understand why gamefreak didn’t just clarify this when they realized people weren’t figuring it out
Thats what im thinking
Better for the community to discover it, more fun!
@@celestielsigh NO

Wild that I've been doing my Shiny hunts like this and being told Brilliant Aura didn't increase Shiny odds. Feels good to be redeemed in my efforts [looks at Brilliant Aura Shiny Sandygast]
I just liked doing it because IVs and egg moves. Anything that eliminates egg chains for me is very nice.
Same, even looking at all my Battle Method Shinies, I’d say most were Brilliant aswell
Watched this video last night and immediately started hunting Skwovet. No more than an hour of hunting and I found it only encountering brilliants (506 KOs). Thank you!
This doesn't really change that much though. Because if you get 3 brilliant spawns for every 100 encounters then by the time you've done 4000 encounters you are at 120 brilliant which isn't at odds yet. Even going to 8000 encounters gets you to around 240 brilliant which still isn't even at odds. So if you just encounter every one you see, you have a better chance of getting it faster than waiting for brilliant spawns
That's a very good point, and it took me so long just to get a single brilliant pokemon to even show up that it's just not worth it to me. I hate that I wasted so much time on the KO 500 pokemon method that we're not even sure works as intended...and that's with the shiny charm.
And from my wild shinies, I'm guessing I got more from the pokemon with the exclamation marks, and very few(if any) were brilliant pokemon.
I miss the old mechanic like in X&Y (I think??) and in ORAS where you could summon a hoard of 5 Pokémon at a time, that was so fun especially when you would get a mix of 2 different Pokémon in a hoard
I hope that mechanic comes back in the future, it made those games so cool and unique
X&Y had a lot of faults, but it had the most interesting mechanics in the series. Horde fights and megas, among many others.
it is fun except for pokemon with moves that damage the other pokemon/ recoil/ EXPLOSION
And i thought it was a coinfidence that my shiny galar farfetch'd was a brilliant aura pokemon...
I’m doing a full odds shiny run of shield and this cleared up so much!
So how exactly does this change the rates, like you've still got to get a 3/100 encounter rate for a brilliant, and then you have the 1/455 of it being shiny? So Masuda method is still, ironically, faster whichever way you look at it. I was genuinely hoping for the sort of revelation that would allow me to stop biking in circles...
-Mesuda Method
-Regular ol' encounters
-Shiny charm
-DA's
-berry tree hunting
-locked into one method
Lol did you just imply that the shiny charm is a method?
I've been doing the knockout method this whole with most cases being lucky apparently.
I came back to confirm this as I hunted mostly only 193 brilliant skwovets during a nikit/chewtle hunt and I got a shiny at 193. His names Festy
I’ve been doing the KO method the whole time since I got the game. This information is very helpful and I wish we knew it long ago.
I have 500 KOs on slowpoke and ive been hunting basically since isle of armor got released, should I only look around for brilliant slowpoke and encounter those instead?
@@zayedalkulaib9678 I would mix it up as I did a shiny hunt for shellos before news came out for brilliants and I got it at 842. So some days go for only brilliant and if you have no luck, try both.
@@zayedalkulaib9678 Unfortunately the wild Slowpoke in the I.o.A, being static encounters cannot be brilliant.
This may be a dumb question but I’m new to this. Regarding the KO method, if you KO Staryus and Starmies, will it increase the chance of both Pokémon being shiny? Like do the amount of KO’s combine between the evolutions?
I’m just eager to know the shiny hunting methods for Legends arceus, hopefully overworld shiny’s like let’s go
and then you find out that u paint the Pokémon and then call them shinies.
Yeah I wonder what the Shiny odds will be?
I mean there is no battle transition in legends arceus so it wouldn't make any sense for there to not be overworld shinies, because that would mean you need to catch a pokemon to even see if it's shiny, I don't think game freak would be that big of jerks to make shiny hunting that painful
I’m looking forward to the shiny hunting method in BDSP which will likely be with the hideaways. Not sure why so many people care so much more about Legends than BDSP.
@@benballier9580 it's mainly that they're trying so much new stuff that people just don't know what to expect, and people are letting their minds race at the possibilities
I wanna add to the shiny hunt aspect of this discovery. Pokedex "suggested" pokemon are essentially hgss swarm encounters, where youll find more of them in the open world. If youre hunting a specific shiny, youll see more on a day its suggested
i love the "recommended" feature of the pokedex in SwSh. It´s actually a detail that I think it´s pretty cool.
@@giboit. for completing Pokedex it's a really useful feature
This changes absolutely nothing! You still have to waste your time getting 500 KO's to get the the same 3% as we all knew. So are you going to avoid encountering non brilliant pokemon? That would be a huge time waster
I never thought that shiny would appear from Brilliant Pokémon. Usually, I battle them whenever they popped up in yellow aura and then earn Watts afterwards.
God bless you man, I was shiny hunting for a shiny zigzagoon for over a year and I had 999 battled. Half an hour and I just found it. THANK YOU
I spent 3 months hunting roggenrolla in the wild area before beating the grass gym. Over 3000 battled. Now it makes sense
So did you just run into brilliant zigzagoon or did you run into every zigzagoon until it was shiny? Like I’m tryna figure out if after 500, do u have to continue KOing them or can u just encounter and run until it’s shiny
Mixed feelings about this. During SwSh’s life cycle, when the gen 8 shinies were new to us, we didn’t get to experience shiny hunting as it should- and could- have been. The Pokemon company article was vague and lacking in crucial details, which only served to exacerbate the confusion. The article says that brilliant Pokemon are relevant, but it never explicitly says that only brilliant Pokemon benefit from the KO based odds spike. It just says ‘shiny Pokémon are 6x more likely to appear’ after 500 KOs. Which made it sound like that affected every spawn of that species. Official communication regarding shiny methods has to improve going forwards- this should never happen again. Equally, in SwSh there’s a lot of interesting old gen Pokemon (especially from Gen 6) which are hard to shiny hunt in other games. So this game is sure to have a lot of posthumous value! I’m probably going to keep on playing it alongside BDSP because of this!
At least next is Gen 4 remakes where we should know how the Shiny hunting works (I never got it to work as a kid). But hopefully no miscommunication happens for Arceus
@@BearWith_You Just got myself a shiny Tyrunt in the Crown Tundra from a brilliant spawn! IT WORKS! I was approaching around 70 KOs
Shiny hunting has always been a vague mystery. I don't want GameFreak to explicitly tell me how to shiny hunt.
No offense, but your perspective is problematic to me. What happened to wanting to figure things out for yourself within a game? Why do you need a guide for everything? Play the game and learn.
@@sheer_1 So you're telling me you've figured out everything about Shiny Hunting, on your own, without getting the information from anyone else or looking it up online? If so, that is pretty impressive I must say. The game itself never goes into much detail about how to shiny hunt, and what does or doesn't work. It never mentions (at least from what I'm aware. Correct me if I'm wrong) that knocking out a certain number of Pokemon has anything to do with lowering the odds of finding a shiny, or that Brilliant Spawns are the only ones to have those odds.
If you want to take it further, we don't even get told what can and cannot be hunted. If it wasn't for people datamining the games, we would just have to go in blind and hope some things are not shiny locked. I would have honestly put money on Regieleki and Regidrago being shiny locked. Given how RNG-based Shiny Hunting already is, I'm curious how you expect people to "figure things out for themselves"?
To summarize: use Masuda
it’s so unfortunate that the SwSh shiny hunting method was so hard to comprehend, and now that we do know how it works, it’s even worse than we assumed.
I am actually going to test this now. Thank you for this and letting us know. It gives me a bit more hope because I genuinely love SwSh.
UPDATE!! I just tested it. Within 30 minutes, I found a shiny Rookidee! Brillant aura! I had 500+ knocked out and only ran into the auras! I am so happy!!
@@icyqueen1 Awesome! and thank you for testing.
@@icyqueen1 That's amazing! Enjoy your golden bird!

@@icyqueen1 I’m going back to my Stufful hunt!!
i just got the game and i kid you not ive walked past at least 5 “brilliants” in route two thinking they were just stinky pokémon
Before this news, I've been in the same patchy area where I knocked out several pokemon 500 times for MONTHS, with only a couple of shinies to show for it. I tried this new method today, and so far I don't think it's worth it, and it still feels broken. It's just so hard to get the brilliant pokemon to even show up to get the boosted odds.
Brilliant Diamond and it's pokeradar can't get here fast enough.
This is why the Pokémon Company should just tell us about stuff like this, literally the game has been out for like two years now and we only just discovered how shiny hunting works 😑😑😑
The thing is, they did tell us. We all just read it wrong.
This makes mark hunting for shinies so much easier. Plus, brilliant mons get egg moves and really good IVs. So this is kinda nice
That would explain why it's technically hard to set up that method, it's similar to SOS hunting and DexNaving. Really great chance at a shiny with egg moves, high IVs, ect, but setting it up takes a long time compared to other shiny methods you could do. Plus a shiny marked pokemon's well worth the effort if you ask me.
@@caiusdrakegaming8087 I completely agree
This is super interesting!! I'm gonna test this myself. I've had a chain of 500+ Combees for over a year now but have had no luck finding a shiny one.. I'm going to try encountering only Combees that spawn with the Brilliant Aura, and see how long it takes until a shiny appears. I will update once I find it!
That's not all of what's being said. Your chain will reset after each encounter with Pokemon with the Brilliant Aura, if I'm reading and hearing that correctly.
@@HitoSorrelius I thought that was just for Chain Fishing?
@@hydrahugs I don't know for sure; looking back through, it might be, but given my own shiny luck in Sw/Sh, I'm of the type to not wanna take those kinds of chances. Then again, I've never gone the full 500 KOs on a single target, either. Something else always came up and took me away from the chain.
500 KOs has nothing to do with chains. It just improves brilliant rate for the species and apparently those brilliants have increased shiny rate (also dependent on KO count). Chaining (non-fishing) itself is debatable as to whether or not it exists, but if it does maxes at 25. The two mechanics (if there are two that is) are unrelated.
@@HitoSorrelius Chain Fishing in Sword and Shield is just for increasing the chance of encountering a Brilliant Pokemon. That is the chain that resets when you encounter a Brilliant Pokemon. There is no chain involved in the KO Method. Once you knock out 100 of a specific Pokemon (500 if you want even higher shiny odds), you have a 3% chance of a Brilliant Pokemon of that species spawning.
It still sounds pretty tedious to me though. No matter what, the rate of finding the brilliant spawn is still very low. So instead of running into everything after 500, you should only look for brilliant spawns which don’t ultimately show up that much. Please correct me if I’m wrong!
I hope legends of arceus make things more easier to get shinys
@@tiff3770 that defeats the purpose, they’re not supposed to be easy to find, they’re supposed to be rare
@@tiff3770 there really shouldn’t BE an easier way to find shinies, they should be the same throughout so shinies aren’t like candy on halloween
Just KO 100 mons. you still got that 3% chance for the brilliant pokemon and 1 in 683. Knocking out 500 has the same brilliant odd but increases your odds to 1 in 450 or so. Not really worth it to go for 500.
@@endk.3500 I mean like if you beat like 200 Pokémon you will get 1/300 or 1/400 or 500 something like that so people won’t get a 1 or 3% to get it and I didn’t say to get it more easier
It’s amazing that people are still finding out stuff related to Sword & Shield almost two years after the game’s were released.👏
Personally, when I used to shiny hunt with the KO method I had noticed that brilliant pokemon spawned more with a higher chain. I would use it as a indicator my chances are being increased cause of the KO method. Glad my original thinking was true cause I have had two brilliant pokemon appear at once in a shiny hunt!
This is insane to hear, I have no absolutely no way of proving it but This was actually my theory from the start. At least I get to brag to my friends and brother as I had told them about it a million times.
Same
This will be so helpful. I'm over 1k encounters with Zubat at the moment and got a random shiny Carbink the other night by just being AFK.
FML.
this is obviously more effective with mons that can be found easily, and things that don't pop up exclusively in random encounters. morpeko and applin are definitely still better hatched, and everything that spawns in the part of the game before the wild area this is obviously better. everything else i think is case by case. i'm pretty sure the galarian version exclusives are still better bred.
I am still proud of my full shiny ods zigzagoon. I found it by hunting for it.
Dan, I respect you owning up to being outspoken on this method.
Video starts at 2:00 🕑 geeze youtubers can say “let’s begin” 5x before actually starting.
this is actually perfect. cause i've been wanting to huny for shiny-brilliant pokemon with marks. now it looks like its possible and not a complete time waste! thanks Dan!
When I think I got my first shiny in Pokémon Shield while I was standing on my bike in the Wild Area, in the middle of the road, while texting my friend. I just noticed that Purrloin that was just calmly walking towards me. Didn't think much of it. Continued texting my friend, and as I wasn't even paying attention it bumped into me and I heard the fight music. Looked up to my screen to notice it was a shiny one. I was so happy, even if it's a Purrloin / Liepard and I don't use it at all. Was so odd that I was standing in the middle of the road, doing nothing, and that shiny mon walked straight up to me and was like '' I CHOOSE YOU ! '' hahaha
So I have about 1100 Nickit, looking for that freaking Shiny... can you say TIME WASTED hahah
Thank you so much for posting this aDrive, this has been so helpful
Can confirm this works! Had 850 battled Rookidee, encountered 25 brilliant Rookidee and got a shiny! Been chasing that shiny for years!
I gotta say GG to the finder of all this data, Anubis. Although I really wish the information came sooner. Either way thanks for covering this aDrive!
So you're telling me I butchered *thousands* of wooloo and rookidee for nothing?!?
Doesnt really change much, still need 100 KO to recieve a 3% boost to get the brilliant which then have the boosted odds. So 100 KO to still only get a boost 3% of the time.
It does change a lot, still needs a lot of effort, but what shiny hunt doesn’t?
It changes the visual aspect of things. Before when we thought any member of the species had boosted odds, we had no way of knowing if a shiny we found had the boosted odds or not. Now we know if it is a Brilliant Pokémon, it will have the boosted odds.
It doesn’t change a lot from a practical standpoint, but it does make the whole thing make a lot more sense to how we all thought it worked.
You actually need 500KO if you want a boost to the shiny odds still. Since it boosts the brilliant aura Pokemon's chances of being shiny.
I swear every time I watch an Adrive video the background gets crazier. Looks great tho! :)
Minutes after watching this and only going after brilliant rookidee finally got my shiny rookidee.....
Because of the 3% for it to be brilliant in the first place and the odds are still out of like 1/600 as brilliant doesn’t that mean it’s less likely than just a full odds random of 1/4100? Bc you’d multiply 1/600 * 1/33 for brilliant chance? That sucks :/
Welp, guessing KO farming the legendries in the last expansion was a waste. Guess I'll try this with klefki... That's the only one I'm at 500+ KOs.
Edit: Klefki wont spawn brilliants...
still only like 28% chance to spawn brillant at 500 KOs which is quite decent but not 100%
Part of me also don’t understand why the Pokémon company or game freak or whoever is in charge does Not explain exactly how the mechanic works and let us all engineer a way to understand
Literally while watching this I started farming for shiny snover brilliants and got it in 5
how would i increase my chances of finding a shiny "applin" if they don't spawn in overworked , just while searching through grass?
wait so if you have 500+ catches can you save in front of a brilliant pokemon and reset?
Mind = blown. This saves me so much time! No longer do i have to encounter every pokemon after i hit that 100 Mark TwT Imma just focus on the brilliants - thank you for this information!
Coming From Someone Who's Currently Doing A Pokemon Shield Shinies Only Challenge This Helps A Lot
It works!! Found a shiny Pikachu with yellow aura. Had done over 5k encounters w/ shiny charm and 500 KOd and found a shiny Yamper around 4k. 1,186 encounters on the second phase, but only like 40 since i started encountering only brilliant aura 😂😂
I got a honedge today (I faced 654 at least) Focus just on Brillant, got it in about 100.
So... can someone please clarify. The 500 shiny hunt methods works but only brilliant pokemon have the chance of being shiny, ye? So when i get to 500, only run into brilliant Pokemon? Thanks
I actually noticed something like that.
Half of my wild overworld shiny encounters were brilliant.
I guess it's true...
that actually makes a WHOLE lot of sense. i just finished hunting for wooloo and the one that was shiny happened to be the glowing one so….
An Approaching Nirvana pfp? Nice!
Apparently I've been *accidentally* doing it right. As during my assumed full odds hunting I'd always gun for brilliant pokemon of those I was hunting. So I guess in a way I was doing it right.
Never really cares for methods, just kept going for the pokemon I wanted until I finally came across it.

Awesome video! There is one thing I’m still a little confused on, when you start getting more brilliant Pokémon to appear, should you only knock out those mons for increased shiny odds? There was a lot of info in the video haha, it was a bit hard to keep up with
Wait so if I’m understanding this correctly, once you reach 500 battles, just keep running into only the brilliant Pokémon that you’re going for and you’ll get a shiny faster this way instead of continuing the KOs?
Well what I want to know is, which method will be faster to hunt shiny. Skipping or not skipping brilliant pokemon.
The hints for BRILLIANT Diamond and SHINING (Shiny) Pearl were there, we were all just too stupid to realise. After seeing the data laid out like this kind of makes the Shiny Hunting method pretty obvious, again we were all just too stupid to realise. In short we're all just stupid.
Shiny hunting is fun and addictive no matter which game. Just like with Blockmonsters!
edit: Loved your video btw!
Just a question, can you find a brilliant aura then soft reset until shiny?
Wait, so when we are talking about 500 KOs, is this a permanent stat that you cannot reset? Or do you have to KO 500 Pokémon of a specific species in one sitting, and/or without running into another species on accident?
It's a permanent boost.
So how does this work with the Spiritomb in Crown Thundra? Because one can continue to battle it up to 500 battles, but I don't think it can have a brilliant aura right?
Statics and random encounters wont have boosted odds cause u need them to be brilliant to be boosted and they cannot be brilliant
Thanks for the info!
And dang, I was thinking of shiny hunting that Spiritomb
This is amazing, can't wait to try this "new" method!
So, zero boosts at all for non brilliant pokemon if you reached 500 ko, they stay at 1/4096 and you are just wasting time encountering them?
*Brilliant* Pokémon being more likely to be *shiny* well that’s interesting considering the new games
Now I wonder if they chose those names to give us a hint... LOL
Holy smokes
@@retrokoh they like to do stuff like that
What should i do if i want shiny thats only non wisible? Same old beat-em-up?
This is still by far the worst shiny hunting method in any game.
So, it's really no different than what everyone thought. Difference being people thought the 3% rule applied to all pokemon but it's actually the odds of finding a brilliant aura which gets the boosted shiny odds
Well, that's basicly the same as before...
You still have 3% of having boosted odds.
And if you have no aura, might as well encounter the mon for the base odds and in order to respawn it.
This method still sucks...
Exactly what I was thinking. The excitement over this revelation is very dumb because this video just confirms what we already thought, only actually clarifying that the 3% chance of boosted odds comes in the form of brilliant pokemon. You still have to get the brilliant pokemon to spawn, which happens only 3% of the time. So it's still a 3% chance of boosted shiny odds. I bet the reason that the Pokemon company hasn't spoken up about it is because fans were already essentially correct to begin with. The detail about it only applying to brilliant pokemon really isn't all that crucial when it's assumed that most people encounter them when they appear anyways. All this video told me is that the brilliant pokemon method to shiny hunting is still pretty dumb.
@@PaintingMeJosh I think the excitement comes from people who where doing the methoud and not getting anything. only to find out the methoud was broken might actually get something for all the work they put in allready.
For a good while i had an inkling that the shiny aura meant higher chance of shiny just because the way it looks to me stands out to me saying could be shiny here even without the data mining.
So I accidentally did it right the whole time and still had a very hard time getting shinys
So basically, the shiny chance from defeating more and more pokemon is that (that is up to 500 pokemon at at most x6) only increases the chance when you encounter a brilliant aura pokemon. BUT MOST importantly, it's way more worth it to just keep spawning brilliant aura Pokemon once you hit 100 defeated Pokemon as the chance for Brilliant Aura ones are already double and going up to 500 would only double the chances up the encounter.
Definitely gonna try this today or tomorrow. Although I find it funny now that my first shiny in SWSH was by chain fishing in my first playthrough near the 2nd gym and I got an Arrokuda, it was something like 80-90 encounters. I just don't remembered if it was brilliant or not.
if it was brilliant then it should have some perfect IVs
@@zackolot Only 1 perfect, so yea probably wasn't then. Just really lucky I guess
Honestly i think where pokemon went wrong in that new shiny mechanic is the fact that they kept the brilliant rate low even after the 500
@3:16 They DID tell us, they made an entire statement telling us how it worked soon after the game released because everyone was pissed. No one believed them because the dataminers said otherwise. Meanwhile I'm just sitting here with my 200 shinies from this method because I followed their instructions. :D
I have 3 boxes of shinnies and not one of them came from the brilliant aura, it’s half eggs and 500 ko, which apparently those ones were just all shiny charm lol.
Cool video bro. You may want to try the Block Monster which is like Pokemon, But it's an NFT tho so it's more enjoyable.
You forgot to say it is P2E too!
So 100 KOs gets the highest Brilliant chance but 500 KOs gets the max rerolls?
That sounds like what I heard
So that means: if i have 500 kos on slowpoke I should just encounter the ones with the yellow aura?
basically yes i guess
So the increased shiny odds from defeating 500 of a Pokemon species only apply to brilliant pokemon?
When i see pokemon it immediately sounds to me to collect, I remember the first cards that were valued up to a million dollars, knowing that I do not want to imagine when the block monsters nft will be worth, that is just starting and its mnstrs token is super accessible
I feel like it is insignificant.
Doesn't change what you have to do, only changes your expectations.
My shiny dex is almost done but this is a very cool and needed research for “our world” gl to the whole shiny hunting community with those brilliant auras💪🏼
So i'm still a bit confused, why is 100 KO more efficient than 500 KO like Anubis said?
The 100kos maxes brilliant aura chance
The 500kos maxed shiny chance
The difference in shiny chance isn’t huge between the two (off the top of my head 1/650 vs 1/450)
