In case anybody was curious; if you transfer the swords from another game, they do not count toward being able to summon Keldeo. You actually have to catch the ones in the game.
I was thinking about this when I was editing, but didn't think someone was going to point it out haha You are absolutely right, one click into the menu would be even quicker
Quick correction. You don't need to camp to reset the spawn if you want to soft reset. Simply saving and closing and reopening the came resetns the spawn on its own.
sometimes i go back to this video while i gruelingly hunt for my shiny virizion (I'm currently 15,547 soft resets in), and I'm glad you included the shiny virizion soft reset example because videos like those keep me delusionally hopeful.
Idk if you have the charm or bad luck but if you set the reset point wrong for virizion you will be resetting the same one. (You can test this by catching it in like a master ball checking the stats then turning the game off and catching another one if everything’s the same your not resetting the virizion)a garunteed way is to encounter it then run away from virizion then saving on the spot. When you load back in a new virizion will load in because it was never there. (I reset the same virizion a couple hundred times by mistake hope this helps )
so did u encounter it, run away and save while it was despawned? and then just close and open the game to spawn a new one? idk why this is so damn confusing lmao@@edgarmonthy
If you save after closing camp just before the pokemon spawns it will always be the same pokemon no matter how many times you reset because it's already been loaded in. If you want to reset hunt them just save on it's spawn position after knocking it out/running away without camping. You'll know if it's a different pokemon if when you load in it grows from the floor (you could also catch a few and check stats if you want). If it's already there when you load in with a ? Above its head then it's the same pokemon and you might have done something wrong. Hope this helps
You can actually KO the Swords of Justice. Open camp on top of the spawn point and they will in fact respawn when you exit the camp. I’ve KOd Virizion 600 times lol. 😅
@@sneakyturtle7277 if you go to system settings down to users you can turn on "Skip selection screen" but it only works when you have account in the system.
For future viewers. There are at least 100 comments of people saying that killing it is the best method. Please dont mind these. A "static encounter" is an encounter in which a specific pokemon is guaranteed to be encountered. Like the regis, swords of justice and so on. Its a pokemon that is programmed to be in a specific spot and spawn specifically every time. These static encounters are coded differently. Data mines have shown that the KO chaining method does NOT increase shiny odds for these encounters. So don't waste your time guys. You already have enough time to use up shiny hunting them. Have a good day and good luck :)
I tried out the Soft resetting after saving and exiting camp method for Cobalion. I did 1200 resets then I decided to check if the IVs are the same after a reset and they are the same. Therefore, I think after you exit camp the pokemon’s ivs and shinyness is already set by the code. So sadly, I wasted 1200 resets after following one of the methods. I do not want anyone to experience the trouble I experienced so I suggest just staying on top of the spot of the soj after running away from it. Then, you can start soft-resetting. I’ve watched a video from VinnyInTheLab and his method which I suggested in the comment works as I have checked the Ivs from the 2 soft-resets myself. Thank you for reading this. I’m sorry if my grammar isn’t good. Hope you have a great day!
So now, I am thinking whether I should still hunt for shiny coballion because I am getting lazy because I realized I wasted 1200 resets because of Lucky Buns’ wrong method.
Does the save at the encounter spot method really work? I tested a few times and caught the Pokémon that appeared with that method and the nature and IVs were always the same and I heard the shininess is also predetermined with the nature and stats. Am I just not saving fast enough after camp? I try saving as fast as possible but I feel like I’m always a second too late
Love this video! Just got my shiny Virizion using the camping method!! Had to sacrifice another master Ball but was so worth it she's so precious and just absolutely adorable! Definitely my favorite sword of Justice 🙏😍
Another way you could do it is by going to virizion running away and then saving on the spot. This way when you load in the game a new virizion automatically spawns. I tried this method for soft resetting and if you save too slow you will be resetting the same virizion as it loads too quickly into the spot. Just a way to take the speed of the save out of the equation I caught the virizion with master balls to be sure and reset. It will give you the same Pokémon if you can see virizion when you save at all you will not be getting new virizion.
You can probably make it more efficient by moving the camping button to the top left in the menu so that you don’t have to move the cursor to open the camping up
if you SR these pokemon it's nature and IVs are predetermined. I tested it 3 times and I got always the same nature and the same stats. so you can optimize your shiny perfectly if you want to. the stats will be randomized after you run away and use poke camp. good luck at all your hunts!
Leaving camp and then saving saves the pokemon which means your encountering the exact same pokemon over and over again so it won't be shiny. If you do want to soft reset hunt get rid of the pokemon, then save on the spawn position without into camp then reset. Hope this helps
This isn't true as if its stats are predetermined, so is it being shiny or not. If you don't save the game quick enough and the stats do end up predetermined when SRing, It being shiny is also predetermined.
what if I go to one of them, then it pops up, I go a few steps away so it is away again. so at that point I save and restart and encounter it. will it work like that?
at the same time soft resting seems like less work to me cos it’s like camping you have to constantly be pressing buttons whereas soft resetting doesn’t need too much attention
If you save after the camp and soft reset it, know that it might be the same one and you may never find the shiny bc it won’t change. I’ve checked it by catching it and checking the stats before resetting so runaway method is more likely to be faster and more effective.
I shiny hunted for Terrakion one night for about half an hour by encountering it, running away and fast traveling to the dyna tree and riding back to the place he spawned at and on my 7th encounter, shiny Terrakion showed up.
I know it’s an old video but would I have to get all 3 in order to shiny hunt it or can I only get one because I’m doing cobalion and I only have it unlocked out the three
the running away method is going to be faster due to shiny odds based on encounters. Essentially, everytime you encounter a pokemon the odds of it being a shiny become better. The exact graph Encounters / Odds without shiny charm / Odds with shiny charm 50 1/2048 1/1024 100 1/1365 1/819 200 1/1024 1/682 300 1/819 1/585 500 1/682 1/512 So the more encounters you have with the pokemon the better your odds are of catching it, so running away does become technically faster by increasing your chances of it being shiny after so many encounters
I thought the shiny charm didn’t affect static encounters? The regis aren’t affected by it no? Why would the killing method be the same and not work for both, but the shiny charm work differently for both?
@@LuckyBunz ok so it won’t mess it up right? I’m just worried because I saved the game after killing Terakion a few times so I don’t know if that would shiny lock it or something
Can you shiny hunt and do pokejobs in between shiny hunting? Does it affect the chances of getting shiny? I’ve been running away & camp on terrakion 500 times for past 3 days. Still no luck.
@@LuckyBunz Yeah. I know that date trick. After doing like 1 to 200 encounters of terrakion. I’m tire of seeing his ass. I rather go do other missions. I already have shiny charm btw.
I get now why the k.o. method doesnt work - because its programmed that static encounters always has the same (except with the shiny-charm) -, but the k.o. method has 2 others not bad points: you get a lot of experience points (with the lucky egg evenmore) and you get Effort values. It has lower cost then use items or bonbons for it.

Hello!!! Enjoyed your video just want to make sure I’m understanding lol. So basically wether you run and use camping method or use ko and soft reset the odds are the same? So I can run and camp and the odds will be the same as if I ko’d and soft reset? Cause I’ve been knocking them out so much so my birds are almost at lvl 100 and my Lunala is now lvl 100🤦🏽♀️. Now I’m running away and camping. Also how do I get rid of the text lol? That takes up time too🤦🏽♀️. Thanks!
Yes, so because they are static encounters. Your shiny odds will be the same. Meaning that it is more ideal to use the camping method or SR compared to KO method. Although some people prefer to use KO method, despite it being slower. Either way, your odds will be the same each encounter.
@@LuckyBunz it worked! I finally got my shiny Virizion!!! It took 3 days and about 600-800 ko’s and run aways but I got it. Now I’m working on Cobalion♥️. Thank you for your help!!!
Hey LuckyBunz, I just did a surprise trade and received a level 100 shiny Terrakion should I be worried? I've heard of corrupt/illegal Pokemon being traded in surprise trades.
@@LuckyBunz thanks man, I kept the item and released the Pokemon, man I wish I bought Sword sooner but I'm still really enjoying it despite being far behind
ok so i saved before encountering terrakion, encountered it and it wasnt shiny, so i reset the game, but i caught two and compared stats and they where the same, so is the stats supposed to be the same every time or am i doing something wrong
I know other people already said this in the comments, but i want to emphasize it so nobody ends up wasting their time like i and others have, so for anyone who wants to do SR method, after you run/knockout the any of the swords of justice, DO NOT CAMP BEFORE SAVING, just find where they spawn, stand there and save, AGAIN NO CAMPING NEEDED, and it will be a different one each time. Gl on your hunts!
If you're playing the physical version of the game it may well be faster to go into the camp as that version takes longer to boot and load than running from an SD card. Depending on what SD card you're using, you can actually get slightly faster times from the download version than what's shown in this video too, as mine is almost 4 seconds faster.
Happened the same to me with Articuno, apparently if you save in front of them they are already nature and IV locked. You need to force them to a new spawn, be it by leaving the area or using pokecamp
Can you confirm that SR method works? I caught the terrakion twice to check and it had the exact same stats, unlike the regis. Are we sure that saving right after leaving camp and SRing will allow us to roll a shiny or is it actually the same as the galarian birds
I don’t know how I got lucky, but I got a square shiny Cobalion in only 25 attempts and Virizion in 42 attempts (unfortunately the hail made Virizion faint...) anybody know if I I got insanely lucky or are their odds altered due to a bug? Or something?
Do need to find all the foot prints before shiny hunting them because I’m shiny hunting virizion now but I don’t have the other foot prints for the other two
2 notes 1 please give us a soft reset in the next game reset hunts suck on switch 2 if you want to simplify the process a bit you can switch the camp button to be the first on the menu
I’ve been shiny hinting virizion for three days only taking a break to eat use the bathroom and sleep😭 I’ve tried the camping method and the soft reset method like come on I just want a red sparkly clump of pixels😢
In case anybody was curious; if you transfer the swords from another game, they do not count toward being able to summon Keldeo. You actually have to catch the ones in the game.

Another way you could do it is by going to virizion running away and then saving on the spot. This way when you load in the game a new virizion automatically spawns.

Thanks to this video I got virizion in 24 encounters, sadly had to masterball it, it almost killed itself after throwing 30 pokeballs
IT HAD POKERUS
I shiny hunted for Terrakion one night for about half an hour by encountering it, running away and fast traveling to the dyna tree and riding back to the place he spawned at and on my 7th encounter, shiny Terrakion showed up.
I know it’s an old video but would I have to get all 3 in order to shiny hunt it or can I only get one because I’m doing cobalion and I only have it unlocked out the three
Oh those what those foot prints are for. I haven’t encountered them yet. I’ll do that after I manage to get all the Reggies and shield Shiny
the running away method is going to be faster due to shiny odds based on encounters.
Essentially, everytime you encounter a pokemon the odds of it being a shiny become better.
The exact graph
Encounters / Odds without shiny charm / Odds with shiny charm
50 1/2048 1/1024
100 1/1365 1/819
200 1/1024 1/682
300 1/819 1/585
500 1/682 1/512
So the more encounters you have with the pokemon the better your odds are of catching it, so running away does become technically faster by increasing your chances of it being shiny after so many encounters
This is normally the case with wild spawns, except the Swords of Justice are static encounters and don't benefit from that increase.
I thought the shiny charm didn’t affect static encounters? The regis aren’t affected by it no? Why would the killing method be the same and not work for both, but the shiny charm work differently for both?
You could make the camping method faster by moving the camping icon to were the game starts then select method
Can you save after doing an encounter or does that affect the shiny odds?
You don't need to save, but you can. It won't change your shiny odds since they are static encounters
@@LuckyBunz ok so it won’t mess it up right? I’m just worried because I saved the game after killing Terakion a few times so I don’t know if that would shiny lock it or something

I got both cobalion and terrakion in less than 11 hours. Guess I can say I’m blessed.
I still havent found cobalion yet, its been days and hasnt turned shiny yet
I got Terrakion in two days and it’s square shiny so I’m very happy and all I did was run and go back do that it’s so easy good luck guys
is it possible to use camp and after exiting quickly save at the spot it respawns and soft reset?
Yes
I know the regis are not affected by the charm but are the swords of justice?
I know other people already said this in the comments, but i want to emphasize it so nobody ends up wasting their time like i and others have, so for anyone who wants to do SR method, after you run/knockout the any of the swords of justice, DO NOT CAMP BEFORE SAVING, just find where they spawn, stand there and save, AGAIN NO CAMPING NEEDED, and it will be a different one each time. Gl on your hunts!
I've been trying to get shiny regirock for 3 days and haven't even attempted the other regis yet. I still haven't gotten shiny regirock yet.
Same with me with that block of ice lmao
Here's hoping you got your shiny Regirock eventually! :)
They’re unaffected by the shiny charm unfortunately
@@pc-u-18 Excuse me, what???
@@rolltideroll8458 yeah it was confirmed in Feb and I just found out about it it really sucks
Does it hurt your system to reset so many times?
Lmao streamers were vehemently debating me saying the reset is much faster and the camp method is way too slow. Well well well
If you're playing the physical version of the game it may well be faster to go into the camp as that version takes longer to boot and load than running from an SD card.
Depending on what SD card you're using, you can actually get slightly faster times from the download version than what's shown in this video too, as mine is almost 4 seconds faster.
lmao
did you ever catch your Shinys
So if you find them, but leave for some reason. Will they still be there when you get back?
Can you soft reset and be right on its spawn
Omg the camp method is so much quicker and I found smoother it got me a shiny within the first 10 respawn
Are these unaffected by the charm like the Regis?
I don't believe so, and the results in the comments seem to validate that as well.
Soft reset this way doesn't work I think.. Same IV every time
Happened the same to me with Articuno, apparently if you save in front of them they are already nature and IV locked. You need to force them to a new spawn, be it by leaving the area or using pokecamp
@@gmr9701 yes..
What I did for cobalion was run away and then save and then soft reset, every reset cobalion respawn and have differents iv/nature
does camping mode works in wild pokemon to get a shiny??
Currently on 2125 SR for terrakion...
Thank you cuz I want a shiny charm but I need to complete my pokedex
Well I'm late but the shiny charm does not work on the Regi's nor The Swords of Justice
I’m late to your comment but shiny charm does work and the swords of justice but not the Regis
Oh. Oh damn. Welp thank you for telling me that. I’ll shiny hunt them now
Did you ever get the moltres?
I can confirm that this also works for Shiny hunting Spiritomb!
Thank you :)
And of course you can also breed Spiritomb.
But spiritomb is unobtainable.
@@Mabra51 Spread its voice. Then it will appear.
@@toastyblues06 You can't "spread its voice" without subscription.
Can you confirm that SR method works? I caught the terrakion twice to check and it had the exact same stats, unlike the regis. Are we sure that saving right after leaving camp and SRing will allow us to roll a shiny or is it actually the same as the galarian birds
Check the description
@@LuckyBunz I’m sorry I see nothing in the description that answers my question
@@LuckyBunz nevermind I see thank you this is just what I needed!
@@dyledw No worries!
Frick. I KO'd Virizion before remembering it doesn't work that way. Ah well, got tons of Pokemon up to level 100 so hey, something good came of it!
I encountered more than 100 Magikarp when I was hunting for the rare Pokémon that evolves with the scale that I forgot what it’s called
I don’t know how I got lucky, but I got a square shiny Cobalion in only 25 attempts and Virizion in 42 attempts (unfortunately the hail made Virizion faint...) anybody know if I I got insanely lucky or are their odds altered due to a bug? Or something?
Do need to find all the foot prints before shiny hunting them because I’m shiny hunting virizion now but I don’t have the other foot prints for the other two
Only the footprints for whichever one you wanna hunt, so if Virizion is your only target, then you should be good for now
Ok thank you
One more thing when you do the camp rest do you have to be connected to the internet
@@demonhood2326 You do not need to be connected to the Internet
@@LuckyBunz thank you
Did my first ever max lair and caught a shiny Uxie.
Do I need to find all the footprint for the three mons in order to start shiny hunting ?
Only the footprints of the Pokemon you want to shiny hunt
2 notes 1 please give us a soft reset in the next game reset hunts suck on switch 2 if you want to simplify the process a bit you can switch the camp button to be the first on the menu
I just went looking for this video and was doing soft resetting was on my 7th reset and got a shiny cobalion then that was crazy
I'm using the camping method just trying to get a different coloured virizion. It's been 13 hours so far so about 1400 resets
I’ve been shiny hinting virizion for three days only taking a break to eat use the bathroom and sleep😭 I’ve tried the camping method and the soft reset method like come on I just want a red sparkly clump of pixels😢
What are the odds?
Im rn hunting virizion, ever since that random one in go i always hunt it when i can get it
