this guy has been the reason I’ve been tackling a shiny living dex ever since his video on the shiny professor oak’s challenge in let’s go eevee. Seeing this video makes me really happy as I absolutely love this kind of grind from this person, and even moreso that he wants to challenge himself outside of Scarlet and Violet. Thank you so much Johnstone for being a huge inspiration over my use of free time over the last two years I hope your journey goes well 🙏
Insane, i'm in the same boat currently! Just got done hunting all Alolans a few days ago, that alone took multiple months.. currently hunting for the starters. i'm like 50 or 60 Pokemon in.
I’ve started with getting all Pokemon for Sword then I’m gonna go for Arceus. I’m worried it’ll be too hard for me to shiny hunt the ones I want especially in Sword since you can’t see if they’re shiny unless you battle them. I’ve been hatching some but I’m still a bit worried about spending hours to hunt the one I want only to not get it
The best part is, if you're planning to do an entire dex, Celebi is probably the easiest of the mythicals to hunt. Jirachi and Manaphy are both absolutely brutal.
Idk why john said its one of the longest Sr hunts. I timed celebi encounters since I'm also hunting it and it takes about 30 seconds a reset. Like sure it's 1 in 8192 odds but even then it's pretty quick compared to some of the other hunts like story latias, starter in xy or usum and so many more
@@Snowstorm174 oh 100% not to mention the price to do so requiring 2 consoles and at minimum 3 games. I'm doing a shiny living dex but since I only got my 3ds, the only way I can hunt manaphy is by using pksm to store it like bank while I delete and reset the save. Timing wise it's about 2-3 minutes a reset so much quicker than trading but a bit of a cheat method
And since it was a prof oaks challenge he needs to catch the rest of the version exlcusives and the trade evos. As well as the fact hes going to need to hunt all the stages unlike in the og challenge
I know some people don't like it, but I personally LOVE how accessible shinies are in games like Legends: Arceus and Scarlet/Violet... It makes shiny hunting actually feel _reasonable_ instead of just a waste of many many hours of my life.
20 seconds in and this man has already rotoscoped himself to put a moving Pokémon background behind himself. Get back in line poketubers, the king has returned
I hope you know what you’ve done. Now I need to make a shiny living dex. I not only need to hunt every Pokémon, but also I need to buy enough space in Pokémon home and o store all of them. For the next couple of years, my life will be hell because of you and I hope you are happy with yourself.
Well don't worry, Shinies are ridiculously simple to get now. I finally bought Scarlet the other day, started my game, & after the intro stuff, the VERY FIRST WILD ENCOUNTER I had was a Shiny Tarountula. Literally did not see a normal variant until after I caught the Shiny. I didn't even know it was Shiny until I saw all the yellow Tarountula & realized "wait a sec, was that a Shiny?!". If that doesn't describe perfectly just how broken the Shiny odds are now then Idk what does. Again, my very first wild encounter in the game was immediately a Shiny. I have only ever found 2 legit Shinies in the wild, both in Pokémon Gold, a Zubat & a Geodude. I have mostly kept up with Pokémon games too. & in all those years, haven't found a random wild Shiny again, until my VERY FIRST WILD ENCOUNTER on Pokémon Scarlet. 😅
@@atomdecay That's just being lucky. The odds for that were still 1/4096. Shiny odds only get ridiculous once you have the charm and a method like sandwiches
You have inspired me to hunt for shinies from time to time! I know it's considered "easy" in scatlet/violet but for a person that doesn't have hours every day it's a very nice change!
I started hunting Celebi a day or two after you caught Celebi. One month later and over 10,500 encounters later... and I'm still hunting it. I hunted it the entire time I watched this video. This Celebi will be the end of me.
@@JayseBerrett Not sure if this will make you feel better or worse, but there's a 20.54% chance of you NOT encountering a shiny Celebi (full odds) in 12,964 encounters. So, in a way, you're both unlucky and lucky at the same time.
@@surjux6271 Yeah, I check the chance that I would have found it after every 1,000 or so resets. I put in another 400 resets since my last comment, so I'm now 5K over odds with nothing to show for it.
I mean that wasn’t a living dex. A living dex is where you have one of each Pokémon whereas during a professor oak challenge you just need to register each Pokemon like for a professor oak you just need to catch one pichu and evolve it up but in a living dex you get three pichus and evolve one to Pikachu the other to raichu and leave the last one as a pichu
He didn't do the living Dex, but honestly he basically did do the biggest chunk of the game, including the hardest ones to obtain, which would have been the legendaries and fossils
I think it would be fair to only allow yourself to hunt all the duplicates for evolution in scarlet and violet. Treat it like an unlock. You catch the base form in an old game, allowing you to hunt the 2nd or 3rd in paldea.
55:04 I love how Johnstone's reaction to the shiny Celebi occurs, and then LITERALLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER, the playback does the exact same face reaction 😂😂
Nice timing, I ran through a bit of your previous videos yesterday and this new release happening a day later. Thanks for the entertainment and keep up the hard work!
Not many UA-camrs make a video that I immediately have to watch...nobody works harder for their content and it shows. I've also watched a few multiple times, including the shiny Professor Oak which I think I've watched at least 10 times purely due to how obscene that achievement is. Keep up the good work John!
What a FUN video - you made this normally tedious and daunting challenge into an exciting Johto shiny hunting world tour!!! SO worth all the time and effort! (also thank you for providing top tier entertainment while I eat dinner lol)
@@anonanonymous9670 That doesn't negate what I said in any way. Nobody here said that it hadn't been done yet. We said that John is capable of doing it.
@@anonanonymous9670yeah and imagine editing through thousands upon thousands of footage on top of that. No one has done this while documenting every capture
These were delightful streams to watch and this was another beloved long form Johnstone video. Love the editing style and can’t wait for more parts of this series!
god i know people have said this already a million times but it still amazes me that the biggest media franchise in the world released a game in the condition that scarlet & violet was in and REMAINS in such a condition
@@nemijsthey may be able to get away with another gen or two as bad as ScaVi, but the goodwill will run out eventually. It’s just logical that they’ll both want to prevent that, and put all their eggs in the basket of Generation 10 coming out for the 30th anniversary. They have the easiest money making marketing move being handed to them on a platter, it’s not naive to assume theyre likely to take advantage. ScaVi sold like hotcakes, why fix it when they could move on and make way more money? Money is the only thing that matters here
The way I learned about the shiny-boosted egg event in gen 2 was when I tried doing a Crystal nuzlocke a few years ago, hatched a shiny Pichu, and nearly had a heart attack before looking up the odds. I'll never forget that little detail now.
Love the content as always. Definitely liked the idea of hunting in as many games/methods as possible; made the video that much more interesting. Also MAMA I'M IN THE JOHNGAMING VIDEO :O
So I had no idea that Smoochum was that rare as a shiny encounter in the Odd Egg. I guess I got really lucky as a kid. I happened to get it again when the virtual consoles released and I still have Baba Yaga as a shiny Jynx today 😂
I'd assume the other generations would be a bit quicker considering the amount of dupes you've gotten of other generations pokemon Very fun video to watch! Excited to see which generation you'll do this for next :p
The second I saw you hit the Friend Safari I laughed, and then when you got irritated at Volbeat I laughed even harder. I caught six shiny Woobat in a Flying safari trying to get a SINGLE Pidgey. To this day I still cannot see Woobat without getting irritated. The FS is both generous and RAGE-INDUCING
The girl I’m seeing got into Pokémon from GO and started playing my old games. Thought Zorua was really cute so I bred one for her on Black2 and got a shiny on the very first egg. Was my craziest gaming accomplishment, just wanted to share it lmao
Hey Johnstone things have been petty rough for me recently but just seeing this notification alone made me feel a bit better thank you so much for all the joy you bring to the pikemon community.
Shiny Slowpoke is such a pain to shiny hunt in Scarlet and violet. I only have one that out of sheer luck had the rare mark. I was so paranoid after getting it due to the fact that I could come across another one without realising it .
i started this video skeptical, but you turned me into a believer. truly well done, and i hope you were able to take a break after you met this incredible goal!
The let's go video was an inspiration to me to make some shiny catching content. That and this one are some of my favorite videos on youtube. Thanks john!!
Nice vid! My cartridges had run out of battery like 2 years ago, and I remember how fun it was recatching everything on real hardware xD luckily stadium g/s can speed up things
Let’s be real folks ths bloke is easily the most entertaining pokemon UA-cam channel out there. When I saw that the video was 56:00 I was like fuck yeah. I love how your content isn’t boring like a lot of the other channels are.

One of the best Pokémon channels bro 🔥 It’s crazy how he can do this and make it entertaining. Like shiny hunting is so boring, yet he makes it so entertaining to watch.
Speaking of the dynamax adventures, it took me 152 successful attempts just to get Zygarde, I didn't have anyone else to play with, so I had to rely on the AI trainers, I have no clue how many failures I went through, but it was a solid couple months for the tooth paste snake. Never again.

His Let's Go Eevee video is the reason I got back into hunting, too. Honestly his coverage of all the various methods really inspired me.

The best part is, if you're planning to do an entire dex, Celebi is probably the easiest of the mythicals to hunt. Jirachi and Manaphy are both absolutely brutal.
I'd say Meltan/Melmetal are easier with the asterisk of "if meltan can be shiny at the time"

The *instant* regret of "do your worst!" was perfect. Hadn't even finished the thought and went, "NO WAIT!"
Instant ptsd and the torture of being completely and utterly physically and mentally drained flashed through his body like he'd seen combat
Y-You’re not making this a *series*, right John? R-RIGHT?!
Technically it already is, considering the let’s go video
@@Crxsseyed1bros gonna have to do that again, except with the proper method and shiny charm lol.

And thanks to stuff like Marks, there are still oodles of ways to make even easy shinies possibly rarer. Same goes for size marks.
